Argentina does not get to complain about a possible hand ball

“The Uses of Haiti” by Paul Farmer is a really great place to start for those interested.

Not a fan of no-defense point guards who chuck from 35 feet after bringing up the ball without making a pass, so this morning is a rough one

"Is LaMelo Ball Good" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

We traded a guy making ads with TSR time for a guy WHO ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF THE TSR TIME ADS

Well, I guess it WAS true that the universe would collide within itself if the Wolves once again got decent jerseys. This is all my fault

The Hornets are absolutely a team on the rise, yet decided they didn’t need LaMelo Ball, their max contract point guard. Why would the Timberwolves take that as a good sign?!?

It’s a huge red flag that the Hornets wanted to trade LaMelo Ball.

A “Now they tell us!” instant classic! cc: @bryancurtis.bsky.social ™️

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

This part is really incredible. The Spurs folded every fourth quarter. They either led or were tied at the end of the third quarter in every game of the series, except game two. And of those four games, the Spurs only won one.

Also incredible - Wemby erased Chet from existence, yet Jalen Brunson continually challenged Wemby time and time again, often coming out on top.

There were people this year, in January (!), saying the Knicks needed to trade KAT. Amazing.

The Indiana Hoosiers dominated the college football playoffs and won a championship. The New York Knicks dominated the NBA Playoffs and won a championship. If you’re a fan of a hopeless team, keep hope alive.

The Knicks were able to sign Jalen Brunson because the Mavs didn’t want to pay him. The Knicks were able to trade for Karl Anthony Towns because the Wolves signed him to a max deal, but then also didn’t want to pay him.

Univision does not break away from the game for the cooling break. This is so much better.

Continuing to wear my Knicks Sprewell jersey after the Knicks take a 2-0 Finals lead is NOT stolen valor, in this essay I will—

AWOOOOOOO

Kurt Rambis couldn’t coach this team to a loss.

Updating my LinkedIn to show that I achieved — nay, EARNED — a Wilt and Kareem free 82-0. (LeBron / David Thompson / Jordan / Bob Petit / Jokic)

Me: “You are looking LIVE at the printing of your summer algebra readiness packet!” Children: extreme groans for several reasons

I don't want to shop from my couch. I want to watch a movie or read a book on my couch. And then when I need some dirt I want to go to the gardening store and chat with the employee about what house plants are cat-safe and how often to water. I want to experience life and interact with people

This is like when the track kids would come to open gym. All gas, no brakes, pogo-ing all over the place. Getting alll the offensive rebounds (but missing allllll the putbacks). You had to bring in some mid 90s New York Knicks half court offense to just bore the hell out of them.

So is Wembanyama going to score 100 points tonight, or

“You see, the people who have the power to exploit the poor, are the same as those who are most exploited. They are the same.” WHAT www.startribune.com/ramstad-bill...

Every time I watch pro basketball with my kids, I inevitably end up telling them how even the end of the bench men and women are so far and above athletically than you or I. Then the last two minutes of the Wolves game happens and my son says, “Look! They can’t inbound against a press either!”

Blogs are BACK

Julius Randle playing like this today is massively offensive to all of the mothers

Erasing my big “Days since ‘moderate’ DFLers denigrated popular DFL accomplishments using GOP talking points” sign and putting it back to zero

(In 2009, this was an incredible cell phone photo.)

You know what’s questionable??? PUTTING GAME ONE ON PEACOCK. THE START TIMES ARE BAD ENOUGH. WHY DO WE NEED EIGHT STREAMERS TO WAT— “Sir, this is the Taco Bell drive-thru. You have to stop doing this.”

May your spot line up with the sunny spot.

The Magic have missed 19 straight field goal attempts. I haven’t seen that since the last time we played DadBall. (That was collective with both teams, however.)

In the close out game after doing this, Christian Braun had 3 points with one rebound in 27 minutes. Jaden McDaniels had 32 points and 10 rebounds in 44 minutes, and harassed Jamal Murray into going 4-17 from the field.

Jaden McDaniels giving an interview like “the Denver Nuggets can’t play defense as a staff, record label and as a MF-ing crew” and then going out and doing THAT for the rest of the series is going to live on in Minnesota sports lore.

I enjoyed that immensely. The Minnesota Timberwolves are good, to me

Can Jaden go for a layup here or will Jokic have a fit?

FEDERAL WAY!!!

Terrance Shannon, Jr. Podium Game, as we all expected

😁

It’s against the law to call a foul on a 38-year-old point guard who gets up like that to block a shot.

Spencer Jones’s shot going in this much, with that form, is an argument for a flat Earth

ESPN’s Dave Pasch just confused Gobert and Jokic, but if you think that’s bad he’s also a Creationist.

After that dunk, I might be changing my kids’ names to TJ, Shannon, and Junior. They’re probably awake now because of the yelling, maybe I’ll run it by them.

Why are *any* of the Knicks starters in right now?

Now that Ayo is out, too, I guess Jaden will just have to go for 83 points. I mean, Bam did it. WHO SAYS NO

@normcharlatan.bsky.social If the Gov. would’ve thrown in a “FEDERAL WAY,” you would be the polling leader for the 2026 gubernatorial ticket. A toast - good on you, Norm.
