Melo courtside just chatting with his past self
More than anything, the Knicks first preseason game reminded me how much the NBA app sucks ass

Lukewarm take incoming:

I don’t begrudge people who like pineapple pizza. It’s meh, but not the abomination it’s made out to be. I wouldn’t pay for one, but might have a slice if offered

My issue is that it renders pizza useless as a leftover. Not good cold and a reheated pineapple is just gross.

This seems to be a recurring motif

Will it ever feel real? I don’t know.

Maybe if they win it again this season
"They really did it 🥲"

Reliving the final moments of Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals, when the Knicks became NBA Champions for the first time in 53 years 🏆

Might sound crazy after their run last year, but I believe trading LaMelo was addition by subtraction.

As Knicks fans who just saw their team win a chip after a couple of decades of serious un-seriousness, we can attest to the importance of culture. Hornets can now start building one.

DeWanna Bonner with 11 points in the third quarter for the Dream and that's why they brought her in.

It’s coming to a close because Cathy Englebert and Adam Silver are money-eyed dipshits who contend that Hartford is a different market than Uncasville, CT. Connecticut is being punished because the WNBA doesn’t understand human geography.
Thank you, Connecticut 🧡

Mohegan Sun was home to unforgettable moments and a fanbase that showed up every step of the way.

A special era of WNBA basketball in Connecticut comes to a close.

Mad Ants former rival of the Proto-Westchester Knicks, the Erie Bayhawks. I hope this mascot costume finds a second life in a c-tier amusement park or community theater costume closet
Hearing that the Fort Wayne Mad Ants have become the Noblesville Boom. Let's be honest, those words are nonsense to most people, but what I want you to know is that a good/insane mascot is dead.

Doesn’t the law say Congress gets to decide where that money goes?
JD Vance: "The American people have every right to expect that when they write a check to the IRS, when they write a check to the federal government, that money is gonna go to where the law says it should go and not to fraudsters."

I like Amen, but he needs to add either shooting or ballhandling for that contract to be worth it. Or for there to be a big jump in salary cap/apron reform.

Not holding my breath regarding the handles or cap restrictions (at least not before the CBA expires) so hope he’s working on that jumper.
Just in: Houston Rockets' Amen Thompson has agreed to a five-year, $208 million rookie-scale contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The new deal includes a 10% trade kicker.

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

Curious how the NBA ruling affects this

STILL thinking about this.

There are a million moments when a champion makes it known he’s a champion. This one sticks out for me. In the face of total bullhonkey Jalen is calm, cool, confident, and in completed control.
I’m still thinking about this moment

One of my favorite things about Knicks winning a chip is Knicks fans periodically reminding each other that we lived to see it months later

And not only that we witnessed a championship, but one of the most dominant yet improbable runs in NBA history

It’s September and it still feels amazing

The Boomer generation’s PR has been ass lately and they just lost two of their starting five.

When it’s men, it’s competitive drive. When it’s women, it’s “drama”
Fox host: WNBA players are “proving that women shouldn't have a league. It's too dramatic.”
