THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD
A little surprised by how much I’m enjoying the new Game of Thrones show (Knight of the Seven Kingdoms). It’s….adorable?

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is so much better than House of the Dragon

Can confirm that the WNBA has submitted a new proposal today to the WNBPA, as expected following Monday’s meeting (first: Doug Feinberg).

The WNBPA initially submitted a proposal around Christmas that the league had yet to formally respond to until today.

Remember, if the Sixers lose tonight, it is entirely because they traded Jared McCain.

If they win tonight, it's because they got lucky that they didn't need Jared McCain.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

Pacers will do whatever it takes to keep that pick in the 1-4
Rick Carlisle says that all four players in the Clippers trade have to pass physicals and be cleared. After that, the earliest Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown would join the team is in New York. They play the Knicks next Tuesday.

Zubac might debut later because of an ankle issue.

A player in massive trade rumors owning part of a prediction market where people can bet on whether he gets traded is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.

This is so far beyond players doing sportsbook ads.

Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social talked about the Pacers betting big on Ivica Zubac

- How he can enhance Tyrese
- What the change in spacing means for Siakam
- Will the Pacers still play fast?
- Interior friction
- Lots of options at center

Te-Hina Paopao was a one-of-a-kind prospect, but that doesn't mean she didn't teach us a lot of lessons along the way.

How can we find the next batch of off-ball WNBA guards?

What lessons can we apply to future prospects, including those in the 2026 WNBA Draft class?

Saw a comment that the Raptors didn’t trade for Jaren Jackson or Anthony Davis.

Instead they went with Jackson-Davis lol
