april update for the 2024 draft horizontal board, this time with tiers included. it's informative to see where this draft has lots of depth and in what ranges
I just announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.
This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.
And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.
LeBron thinks he is “very educated.”
He allegedly got an 870 out of 1600 on his SAT in high school.
That’s worse than 82% of all SAT scores.
Seriously. I’m totally serious.
I actually don’t think he ever did his homework.
Breaking story in the NBA: The League says data no longer supports 'load management' -- a huge break from virtually everything previously said about why players miss so many games. w/

Perk: The Celtics don't post up enough. They have nothing to rely on if the 3s don't go in.
Celtics in the post this season:
‣ Post up frequency - 7.3% - 2nd in the league
‣ Post up efficiency - 1.17ppp - 1st in the league
yeah it doesn’t sit right to me that a national NBA writer with one of the most coveted positions in sports media can post stuff like this without repercussions
today has been a harsh reminder that your favorite nba player probably turns a blind eye to sexual violence. the fraternity of basketball players runs too deep
it’s too bad draymond is a generational piece of shit loser who will swing on anyone who looks at him the wrong way but will defend domestic abusers
fuck him
Draymond Green lights into Grant Williams after that late-game scuffle
“This tough guy (act) is going absolutely wrong for him. He’s a nice guy.”
“Talking too much is kinda what got you out of Dallas”
“Pray for Grant Williams”
Reporter: 🫶
Caitlin Clark: "You like that?"
Reporter: "I like that you're here."
Caitlin: "Yeah, I do that at my family after every game.”
Reporter: "Start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine."
Caitlin: 😳

it’s fucking disgusting the extent to which NBA media will berate ja morant after absolutely nothing and turn a blind eye to abusers and sexual predators
so gross and disappointing
Last year, Ja Morant called an NBA referee "a ho" on the record in an interview after a game in OKC. It never got out. I obtained the audio, and reflected on the important role of in-person media as a guardrail for the NBA superstar.
mikal bridges is scoring 28 a game on 63.5% ts with a 29% usage in 23 brooklyn games, he was at 19% usg in phoenix this year. 42% from 3. took 25 shots against utah yesterday.
what the hell is going on
Do you hire exclusively black people for your NBA team because you believe their race and all of its biological traits (height, superior stamina and strength) gives them a competitive advantage?
Yeah, Indy does not deserve another NBA event after this lmfao.
Booed Dame for winning ASG MVP
Booed Dame for winning 3PT cont.
Booed Jaylen Brown for missing a dunk
Booed Jaylen Brown during intros?
Booed Jayson Tatum during intros?
Like wth is this fanbase on lmfao.
lamelo ball and scoot henderson would make a dynamic guard duo, lamelo’s elite shooting and passing would pair beautifully with scoot’s slashing and passing
don’t overthink this, charlotte!!!
it’s hilarious how amen has followed a fairly normal rookie path (g league, end of bench, now playing well and getting more legit minutes)
and yet ausar feels like a random number generator has decided his PT
not only is he a real player, but jalen smith is top 3 this year in true shooting (72.8%) and top 7 both at the rim (76.1%) and from three (46.9%)
high efficiency, low volume king
I actually think league pass is a net negative for the NBA. Too much access to games has made games carry less weight/meaning. I think if you’re going to have league pass it should be very expensive except for maybe one or two days a week.
the thunder can’t keep playing him as much as they do, there’s really no excuse anymore. one of the worst full time rotation players in the whole league
Stephen Curry is averaging close to 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and one steal, shooting 46.6% from three with a 70.1% true shooting percentage in this playoffs.
jackson is one of the kindest, hardest working people i know and an ardent supporter of marginalized people around the world.
you should be ashamed
@thephillyvoice
, beyond ashamed
New story at NY Post: Sixers beat writer Jackson Frank, hired by PhillyVoice last month, is out of the job after ripping the team's statement on the attacks on Israel
josh giddey’s 48.1% (4th percentile) true shooting is third worst among regular starters. his assist rate is a career low and the defense hasn’t improved.
he wrecks OKC’s offensive flow every time he touches the ball. continuing to start him is becoming inexcusable
joel embiid just dropped 50 on the nba’s best defense and has played 25 of 28 games this season! the discourse around him is beyond disappointing, especially coming from a national writer
“In the beginning of the year when I felt like I couldn’t get things going, they instilled confidence in me”
All the feels from Jared McCain

Here are the biggest steals in the draft, based on draft position-my ranking.
Steals:
Lakers: Talen Horton Tucker (+34)
Nuggets: Bol Bol (+28)
Kings: Ignas Brazdeikis (+20)
Grizzlies: Brandon Clarke (+18)
Celtics: Grant Williams (+18)
Anthony Davis said it’s been an adjustment to play the 4 alongside Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes in scrimmaging.
“It’s been good,” Davis said. “It feels good to stay out of 100 pick-and-rolls a game.”
this discourse consistently misses that mental health and psychopathology is as much a function of environment as it is anything physiological
this shit sucks needs to stop
jalen green, amen thompson and cam whitmore will be one of the nba's most fearsome offensive trios in due time. the rim pressure, shotmaking and playmaking collectively is a future playoff core.
take a bow, houston
Kysre Gondrezick was taken to the hospital with at least one broken bone and bruising, per
@NBCNewYork
“A preliminary investigation on scene determined that a known individual struck her multiple times upon her body and placed his hands around her neck.”
