Just spent a precious fleeting weekend night watching HEREDITARY despite not liking scary movies because I am married to someone who does like them and, if I had to guess, I'd wager I am going to be pretty upset for a pretty long while

Hey I need 17 more paid subscribers to reach my end-of-2025 goal. It would be very cool if you became one of those subscribers.

I can get why the Hornets' decision-makers, none of whom drafted or extended LaMelo, might feel unsure about banking on someone who's rarely on the floor.
Also: Charlotte's scoring like a bottom-5 offense without LaMelo this season, and like a top-5 O with him.
Gift, curse, etc.

LaMelo Ball had 25 points + 8 assists in the Hornets' win over the Knicks last night. Charlotte's now 16-29 with him in the lineup ... and 2-22 without him.
From yesterday's Y! Sports piece on the NBA's worst teams — on LaMelo, the gift and the curse: yhoo.it/4hoO1H8

Jay decided to try to follow up on what could've been just a silly half-viral moment, and the result is what will probably wind up being one of the more personally revealing interviews a coach will give this season. Really great reporting instinct and execution by The Kid.

Joe Mazzulla has difficulty with the concept of "fun."
@byjayking.bsky.social sat down with the Celtics coach to find out why having fun is so foreign to him.

Obviously, it's been the best scoring season of Tyrese Maxey's career, and it's not even particularly close.
But Maxey is putting up career-highs pretty much across the board. From assists, to getting to the FT line, to efficiency, and the all-in-one advanced metrics.

Just watched Precious Achiuwa pop a 3 down by 28 and get nothing but glass, followed by the Kings not matching up in transition and giving up a corner 3 to Santi Aldama to go down by 31. Yeesh, Sacramento.

Mississippi’s greatest asset isn’t Lane Kiffin. It's its boosters and a mastery of NIL.

Guest column | SEC rivals want Lane Kiffin. They should want Mississippi’s boosters.
LSU and Florida are trying to poach Kiffin away from the Rebels. But in college football today, a great NIL operation may mean more than a great coach.

NEW: For weeks, a mysterious figure was embedded in the Pelicans' inner circle. The team now confirms Jordan Dumars, son of EVP Joe Dumars, is a "Basketball Operations Consultant."
