going from Harden and Tobias tepidly bending with the hip flexibility of Doc Rivers in suit pants to this. I’m singing church hymns about this

I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

FROM THE OFFICE OF MIKE LEVIN WHO WAS AT WORK DURING THAT GAME: “I am not going to watch that game.”

basically I don't know how to deal with Maxey & Edgecombe being this good, on both ends, with high motors & intangibles, and nary a debilitating shooting syndrome or personality disorder to be found I'm just supposed to enjoy this?????????????????

a sad but direct correlation between how bad the world has to be in order for the Sixers to be good

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

We can’t pay for USAid, science research, daycare, school lunches, or healthcare, but there’s no problem launching an illegal war that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and enrich all the grifters, goons, and ghouls in this administration.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

been largely positive on Paul George this year, but with him going 0-4 on twos and 4-7 on threes yesterday, he is now shooting: 40% from 2 41.6% from 3 Any physicality (especially OKC's) completely stymies him. With his burst gone, current PG needs the Covington shot diet, not Rudy Gay's.

two pathetic loser losses in a row for the limpdick Sixers who should be abolished, merry christmas

Sixers are: - giving up layups at the rim because Embiid’s not getting back - giving up wide open 3s because their defense is based on a core belief that other teams don’t know they’re allowed to pass

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

this is pound-for-pound the most SixersAdam thing ever written

"We live in hell, and the rapacious need for growth in every industry, unrelenting, forever and ever, is decimating all of our institutions and our way of life." Amanda Dobbins, on fire

Embiid shot 4 for 1000 so I brought @chrisryan77.bsky.social on the podcast to talk about Dominick Barlow www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/podcast-em...

we used to pray for things like this (a Sixers player getting an offensive rebound)

hard to imagine pressing a button more wrong than "Play Eric Gordon"

if the Eagles look like shit in the first quarter and you need to change the channel out of disgust, consider disgustingly changing it to NBC at 830pm for the network debut of THE PAPER, the spin-off of The Office that I write for and am late to podcasts because of!

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Trendon Watford is like if Ben Simmons was normal

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism. I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists. I know where my allegiance lies.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

Mike calling the last few years the “dead ball athleticism sixers era” was a perfect way to put it

the Philadelphia 76ers (traditionally a basketball team, although they did something else last season) had a good night. then so did we: www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/102325

a warning for those saying "the NBA is back, now the games count" -- not for the Sixers they don't. in fact they never have.

One year following the WNBPA's opt-out of the current CBA and nine days before the deadline to come up with a new one, here's the latest we're hearing on CBA negotiations: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

this made me late for work btw. we might be back.

watching some Embiid highlights and thinking about losing my damn mind

not really a sports guy, sorry!

Ranger simply has the biggest balls in Philadelphia sports history and a serious organization & a serious city would refuse to let him play anywhere else. He is also my biological son.

Alyssa Thomas is so perfectly cast as Underappreciated Star Who Never Gets A Ring but I need her to break through and get her title. Such an easy player to root for, she’s like if you gave a tank arms & legs and told it to shoot a basketball. That is exactly how an armored tank would shoot.

well at least they’ve already started formulating plans to make Grimes feel valued once they return from their sportswashing trip to the UAE, I feel deeply relieved

Qualifying Offer it is. Sixers choking any good vibe out of the season before it starts. Organizationally QWOP Guy

The smear campaign the owners are about to hit the players with over this WNBA lockout will be legendary, but I don't think many people are stupid enough to fall for it at this point

I used to run the Civil Rights department of the North American labor movement and I can tell you that this is one of the best public statements I’ve heard/seen from a labor leader about their working conditions in the midst of negotiations. Well done Phee! 👏🏾👏🏾 #wnba

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

a promising young guy is injured, they're being vague about Embiid, and a contract negotiation has gotten ugly -- you know what that means! August Two is over and the Halloween Sixers are about to haunt the next 6 months of your life. still podcasting somehow: www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/092725

Lynx/Mercury is just ripshit good physical basketball and the Philly WNBA team is already down 14-2 in the first round of the 2032 Playoffs

That’s Not What You Want

4/39 is extremely low and it's reasonable that Grimes would prefer an 8.7m QO then testing UFA instead of signing. But 25m/year would have the Sixers up to their ass in aprons, so no. 4/60-65 makes a preposterous amount of sense for both parties and I formally demand everyone involved to grow up

in a world where everyone is The Joker, I am The Jokeriest

Daryl there are times to get cute (musical theater premieres, ping pong events) but this is not one of them
