ace bailey immediately went over to darryn peterson after he missed the shot that effectively sealed a win for the grizzlies to let him know it's alright. i fucking love that kid.

the wolves can't board a miss to save their life right now. the cavs are rebounding around 39% of their own misses since the third quarter.

BREAKING: Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams has a dislocated left ankle and fractured fibula; Cason Wallace has a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Both will undergo surgery and be sidelined for several months -- most, if not the entire season.

winning the championship was a great moment for all new yorkers. those who choose to focus on the negative, such as the knicks' current record, are missing the joy that comes with the team’s accomplishment.

Jalen Williams was down on the floor with a towel over his lower left leg. His ankle snapped. Oh man. Williams had his left leg stabilized by medical personnel and was stretchered off. Just an awful situation.

i disagree with jokic’s actual take btw. just finished that game, and the nuggets absolutely deserved to be booed for those first three quarters.

Replying to @patrickfenelon.bsky.social

All he had to do was smile and wave, maybe lean into the curmudgeonly/avuncular (and less self-evidently toxic) "boss" persona and learn to laugh at himself just a little bit, like George Steinbrenner did, and New Yorkers would've fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.

"winning the championship was a great moment for all new yorkers. those who choose to focus on the negative are missing the joy that comes with the team’s accomplishment.” jimmy kazoo/msg would like you to stop holding him/them to the lowest possible standard of human decency and look inward.

Bobby Silverman@robertsilverman.bsky.social

They left out an actual “I’m sorry” but this is as close as MSG will get to admitting they were in the wrong

If you're a connoisseur of on-brand James Dolan pettiness, grudge-settling, and ham-fisted dumbassery, have I got the article for you www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

guards to open the season with at least 28 points, 5 assists and 2 steals in each of their first two games (via @stathead.com) michael jordan (1988-89) allen iverson (2005-06) kobe bryant (2011-12) shai gilgeous-alexander (2025-26) donovan mitchell (2025-26) tyrese maxey (2026-27)

The Sixers have an eight-point lead with 44 seconds left and I am prepared to say this is the best crowd I have ever witnessed at a Sixers game. It is unfathomable how good this looks defensively right now.

playoff intensity in philly. which, come to think of it, explains why mario hezonja has outscored james harden

this struck me, too. but yaxel also said he didn’t watch “much” nba and followed luka through highlights. maybe this was performative but it’s insane to think there could be people who aren’t familiar with luka’s on-court trash talk or dialogue with refs

DJ Jazzy Sweater Vest@craig.agitate-discourse.org

I know he is a rookie but Luka complains excessively was new information to him?

dan favale reposted

yaxel telling reporters that luka sucks sitting on a -31 in his first NBA game. you think he’s coming at luka but he’s really coming for dillon brooks. planting that flag good and early. respect
