"Championship habits and obsession. All training camp long, head coach JJ Redick repeated these statements... But none of those words reflected the actions the Lakers displayed in their home opener, a 119-109 loss to the Warriors." www.silverscreenandroll.com/lakers-analy...

The Lakers brought their poor preseason play to the games that count and it resulted in a loss on opening night.

Rediscover MF DOOM’s Debut Album ‘Operation: Doomsday’ (1999) | Tribute
A template for hip-hop’s now flourishing gritty and dusty underground scene, DOOM’s debut remains extremely influential to up-and-coming emcees and firmly established left-of-center artists.

Englebert's job is to be a heat magnet and take away attention from the group really negotiating the WNBA CBA, which is the NBA. By all means, boo her ass off when she rears her head (especially during in-game interviews, PLEASE) but save some vitriol for Adam Silver and the NBA owners.

People in Nepal, including children, have been killed by police and security forces in Gen Z-led protests against government corruption.
Despite the purpose of the demonstrations, international media headlines have reduced them to merely protests over the country’s ongoing social media ban.

As the WNBA/NBA negotiate with the WNBA players, you can expect "insiders" to tell us the WNBA just can't give 50% of its revenue to its players.
Today I explained why we should be skeptical of the stories told by basketball "insiders".

Καλημέρες. Η κατάσβεση συνεχίζεται. Η Πάτρα χρωστά την ύπαρξή της στους πυροσβέστες, επαγγελματίες και εθελοντές, στους δημοτικούς υπαλλήλους και στους ελικοπτεράδες. Τα υπόλοιπα είναι για τα υγρά κουραδάκια της Ομάδας Αλητείας και την τσιριχτή πορδή του Παττακού που πλουτίζει απ' τη διάλυση του ΕΣΥ

🚨 Greek Coast Guard opened fire on ~20 refugees near Samos today.
Instead of helping, they circled the boat, then fired shotguns—forcing it back to Turkey.
