Here’s my full question and answer with Coach Bartzokas on Olympiacos’ pick-and-roll defense last night. I’m incredibly grateful for the depth of his answer, and desperately wanted to ask him a million follow ups here but of course restrained myself in the context.
And finally, on Real Madrid’s resounding victory over Olympiacos to advance to their second consecutive EuroLeague championship game. Again, plenty of quotes inside. fansided.com/posts/real-madr…

In a season full of questionable fourth down decisions, Stefanski deciding to go for it on 4th and 6, down 6, in terrible conditions, with a QB who has already thrown two picks today might be the worst of them all.

Tottenham have spent hundreds of millions on players who ended up not even being close to Prem quality over the years. JPVH wasn’t good business, sure, but it’s ridiculous to call a transfer where you acquired JPVH “one of the worst pieces of transfer business ever.”
Spurs essentially swapping Vuskovic for Van Hecke and £10m needs to go down in history as one of the worst pieces of transfer business ever.

Total second half takeover from Gabby Williams. Dream not doing nearly enough to get Reese involved on offense, but that missed layup on the ATO was the dagger. Brutal.

That’s right, Riq Woolen has been great. Teams should definitely be trying to trade for him. Aim high to make sure you don’t get outbid!
Top-25 trade candidates: Kirk Cousins Jonathan Taylor Tony Pollard Brian Thomas Jr. Chris Godwin Jauan Jennings Jerry Jeudy Josh Downs Quentin Johnston Rashod Bateman Cesar Ruiz Jackson Powers-Johnson Landon Dickerson Jermaine Johnson II Josh Sweat Khalil Mack Shemar Stewart Yaya Diaby A'Shawn Robinson Daron Payne Patrick Queen Alontae Taylor Donte Jackson Riq Woolen Budda Baker (per @MattBowen41 and @JFowlerESPN)

A reminder that Pina genuinely wrote this paragraph in regards to LeBron James choosing the Sixers this summer. DNPCD in the first half against Minnesota for Simone Fontecchio.
Michael Pina/Kevin O'Connor/Andrew sharp are all tied for being the worst NBA analysts currently working. None of them know ball, they're all insufferably smug, and they're all so dogmatic about what they believe that they refuse to engage with what actually happens

Have to assume this was largely a walkthrough practice. Can’t think of any other way Henderson could correctly be listed as limited with a high ankle sprain.
TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) limited in practice Wednesday.

I don’t want to speculate but if it’s an Achilles rupture, that’s the second of his professional career. The first came four years ago during his time with Melbourne United.
Ariel Hukporti just went down, forcing a Sixers timeout. His Sixers teammates and former Knicks teammates immediately surrounded him. Initially grabbed an area you don't want to see a player grab. Karl-Anthony Towns was among those helping him to the back.

Only hand on that team that has crossed room temperature is Bucky’s
RB Bucky Irving is on a pitch count due to the longevity of the season, per Bucs OC Zac Robinson. Robinson added he also wants to go with the hot hand in-game. (@PewterReport)

Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again
