last year's Sixers, vindictive psychopaths that they were, had their best stretch days before the deadline: won 4 in a row, then played DEN/BOS/MIA tough. they didn't trade Yabu bc they had play-in dreams
instead, finish 4-28, get #3 on their cap sheet, Grimes pops, and lose Yabu to NYK for nothing

I think Jaylen Brown might have just seen his life flash before his eyes when Mitchell Robinson closed out on him in the corner. An open 3 turns into a swallowed shot, a turnover, and a Towns layup on the other end. 7-0 Knicks run to start the second, Knicks up 13, timeout Boston.

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.

I swear Trump has to be shorting stocks somehow because these rapid policy reversals after shocking the markets make absolutely NO sense.
Breaking News: A last-minute deal was reached to delay tariffs on Canadian goods after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with President Trump by phone.
Trump Tariffs Live Updates: Canada Follows Mexico in Reaching Deal for a Delay
The leaders of Mexico and Canada each said they had struck agreements to pause tariffs for 30 days, but levies on products from China were still set to take effect just after midnight.

Trump got nothing out of his threats to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada that those countries weren't already doing. It's the political equivalent of Arturas Karnisovas having to trade for his own first round draft pick last night.

Adam Silver said he's a fan of shortening NBA games to four 10-minute quarters, because "a 2-hour format for a game is more consistent with modern television habits."
Silver said on the Dan Patrick Show it's "a dramatic change" and "something like that would have to be talked more about over time."

Hello, friends of #NBASky (and all the recent new arrivals). Quick 🧵.
It’s been really cool/gratifying to see so many NBA fans/media gather here. I feel like we’ve reached critical mass, to the point where I barely check the other site anymore, and hardly miss it. (cont.)

There’s no female victim for the Internet to harass, so Rocky’s case hasn’t gotten all that much attention pre-trial.
But a preliminary hearing in November 2023 laid out the evidence, including videos of the alleged assaults.
