Saraf ran the offense exceptionally well in BK’s first win of preseason. He put up 11 assists in just 21 min and half of them were sharp plays. Ben might end up our starting PG at the beginning of the season. He looked calm and played under control. 🏀 ⚫️⚪️ #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld #NetsSky #BenSaraf

Saints playing another preseason game today. Looked shaky in the 1st half vs the Panthers. But New Orleans’ rookie QB Shough performed solidly when he got a good pocket from his line. Showed accuracy throwing 9-12 ⚜️ 🏈 #NFL #NFLPreseason #NFLSky #NewOrleansSaints #WhoDatNation #SaintsSky #GeauxSaints

He is wearing an oversized Saints shirt in black and gold and similarly colored boxing gloves, as he stands in a fighter’s stance.

Hey @support.bsky.team , is there a good reason why some NYT links (like the one above) only generate truncated previews on BS, without pictures? I’ve attached an image that shows the preview from the same url on Mastodon. #BlueSkyHelp #LinkPreviews

High TOs have been a consistently poor part of CC’s game for 5 seasons of high-level organized basketball (let’s ignore this injury-riddled season entirely). That’s ALL that’s been said here & that is not bad reasoning—it’s a fact. No one has claimed more than that. Her college ranking listed below.
Top three rankings for turnovers, the women’s career leaders. Caitlin Clark is in third place over four seasons of college ball with 639 turnovers. The all-time leader is Jamierra Faulkner with 681 turnovers (in four seasons) and Dequesha McClanahan is in second place with 654 turnovers in four college seasons.

Shot from the upper deck at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during halftime of the New York Liberty game. The scene is bathed by purple spotlights, with a little bit of yellow. It’s a full-house crowd, you can see the “Jumbotron” lit up above the basketball court and the black, white, & seafoam Liberty logo is lit up on the floor at center court.

Most of the young Nets fans sitting around me and my friend were desperately pulling for Jeremiah Fears to fall to us at 8… or a trade-up to get Ace Bailey. 🤷🏽 Their hopes were all cruelly dashed, as were my somewhat different ones…. 🏀 #NBA #2025NBADraft #NBASky #NetsSky #BrooklynNets #NetsWorld

Hope was for a guy like Maluach (top-10 center prospect) to drop to us & we’d come out w/ one strong building block in place. Also fantasized we’d trade into lottery & grab a 2nd piece like Murray-Boyles, Bryant, Coward, Essengue…. Neither happened, reader! 🏀 #NBA #2025NBADraft #NBASky #NetsWorld
The floor inside Barclays Center on NBA draft night—filled with hopefuls and media personnel milling about beneath the overhead video display which at that moment was showing a very prominent ad for WILSON. This was before the draft itself had begun.

ESPN says BK is ‘"signaling to teams around the NBA that it's unlikely they move down" from their top pick at 8. Keeping the 8th selection means Nets "are guaranteed to end up landing a player they've targeted throughout the draft process"’ 🏀 #2025NBADraft #NBASky #NetsWorld #BrooklynNets #NBATrades
‘ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo reported on Wednesday morning that the Nets are "signaling to teams around the NBA that it's unlikely they move down" from the franchise's top pick at No. 8. Keeping the eighth selection means the Nets "are guaranteed to end up landing a player they've targeted throughout the draft process," according to Givony and Woo.’
