NEW STORY: By now, Payton Pritchard is used to his unusually slow starts to the NBA season. Still, he was bothered by his own lack of aggression in the Celtics' Friday win over the Knicks. "It ate away at me.” How he bounced back: www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...

For some odd reason I always forget Ju Ju Watkins is essentially “big” sized due to her skillset. I never forget that Paige Bueckers is 6’ I never forget that Angel Reese is 6’4” I never forget that Sonia Citron is 6’1” So why can’t I ever retain that Ju Ju Watkins isn’t 5’10” like Olivia Miles?

Just saw a clip with Candace Parker & Tina Thompson talking about Ju Ju Watkins. Candace said something I’ve been saying for about a year—she still has a year of eligibility left after this so it’s not a given she’ll enter the 2027 WNBA Draft. Then Tina said that her & Ju Ju are both 6’2”… WAIT.

I’ve only used two names for every Pick ‘Em Pool I’ve ever been in—I don’t do fantasy sports—Patriot Games for the NFL season and Athletic Black Guys Who Hustle for the NCAA Tournament/March Madness

I gotta give it to coach Nakase. Golden State was getting beat up by Reese, but she recognized that if they can slow her down, ATL's offense goes with her since they run in through her. It was a calculated risk sending multiple defenders at Reese, but it payed off because they are all out of wack

…When you shoot 21-44 from the three point line, you typically blow out your opponent… Especially if you outrebound them 54-40… …but usually NOT when you turn over the ball 24 times. BOS wins 134-99.

Name two characters you think are the same person.

Tome had a good laugh because it’s not like it’s my first time ever seeing this man. I’ve been around quite a bit by then. I bring this up because on Derrick White’s newest podcast Joe’s the guest and Derrick calls him “Coach” to get under his skin…

…A few short minutes later—but what for me felt like an eternity—Tome Barros, who works for the Boston Celtics in community outreach and programming comes out the same door. He’s like “What up, Dart?”. We talk for a while and I’m like “You won’t believe what I did”. “What?” “I called Joe “Coach”!”

Joe looks at me—realizes that for a 50 year old Bostonian who grew up immersed in Boston basketball culture that for me calling him that I was acknowledging how much of an honor & title it was and I said it as a sign of respect but calmly looks me in my 6’4” face and says—“Just call me Joe”

I called Joe Mazulla “Coach” once… I’d met him SEVERAL times already but I was at last year’s Boston Music Awards which was in Big Night Live and he was coming out the side door… He sees me and there was a look of familiarity as I’d been around multiple times in the past week. I said “Hey Coach”

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

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.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Yeah, I don't like this at all......we kinda already think the league is rigged....conflict of interest aside though, all this extra revenue sources/soverign money funds that might not "be around next year" has the potential to tank the league

Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman’s turn on the court. Here’s a look into the start of their pregame routines ahead of tonight’s Celtics-Bulls game.

And here’s a look into Hugo Gonzalez’s work with Tyler Lashbrook before tonight’s Celtics-Bulls game. While I was filming Cenac and Mitchell’s drills, Gonzalez was working on pull-up 3s.

Back in the days, there were a select few suppliers of team jerseys & uniforms for college & professional squads who also had the license to make branded apparel or replicas—Champion, Starter, Russell Athletic & Majestic Athletic… In the ‘90s, both CCM & Starter made replica hockey jerseys.

Michael Jordan must be so mad that back in the day they forced him to go play minor league baseball for gambling and now it's their biggest sponsor. Sorry shoulda thrown an allegedly in there.

The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

So happy for Brazil and the world!! Now for the U.S. !!!!!!!!!! 🤞

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!
