So my first job out of college. I was making 65k with a bonus right. But you don’t realize I don’t actually keep that 65k. Every check there’s taxes that come out for federal and state. And also health insurance. So I’m only taking home a piece of that is what people don’t unders

Zach Lowe:

"Eight years ago I wrote a piece about the supermax and how it was forcing teams into very painful decisions with home-grown superstars. And the tentpole for it was Jimmy Butler."

"If you draft a player and he becomes a success story to the point Jaylen Brown did, Finals MVP, Champion, beloved in the community, it just feels viscerally wrong that his contract becomes something you want to get rid of... something is wrong with a system that turns home-grown stars, in some cases not all, into albatross contracts."

Things that are true at the same time imho:

—The shooting of Alex Pretti was an unjustified tragedy I don’t care what his politics are he is an American with constitutional rights
—Walz is a baffoon using his own citizens as pawns in a game of civil war to distract from fraud and other political problems
—Noem is incompetent and lied about the shooting to spin a false narrative and should be fired and replaced immediately
—ICE needs to level up the professionalism (process, marked uniforms/vehicles, lose the masks) or will lose credibility to do their job
—MN mobs following people around accusing them of being ICE, storming church’s and directly antagonizing ICE agents are wrong
—Trump admin needs to deescalate and chart a path to cooperation with local MN law enforcement the way they are in other states
—Biden admin let 10M+ illegal immigrants in without vetting and now we have a huge mess on our hands and deserve a ton of blame

@IsaacLHarris I’m with you on this. But Kidd cannot be off the hook either. This team is not great, but it also shouldn’t be dead last with no life, regardless of injuries. It’s a coach’s job to extract the best out of the talent he’s been given and that’s not close to happening. Fire em all

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@SportsSturm Kidd first

@pandahank41 They’ve somehow figured out how to not be good AND not develop their number one pick. Incredible work.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@balldontTy Well said

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@okcamars Listen man. He gets fouled. But just as often, he’s embellishing natural contact that other players play through in order to get a call. Body contact is not naturally a foul, unless it’s Shai falling out of bounds from it while shooting. No one wants to watch that crap.

Wish I could retweet this a hundred times. You knew you had a chance to go win every night because you had a DUDE. Not the case anymore.

@FlaggMavs Point number 4 is it!!

Nigeria: Her Christian husband and two children, aged 3 years and 10 months, were slaughtered by Islamists right in front of her.

She and her only surviving child, aged 7, were left for dead, and her hand was chopped off.

The Persecuted Church in Nigeria needs all of us.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

Shai is awesome. Undoubtedly. So this is not to take away from his game… but look at the spacing he has around him. No one - not one other star - has this much spacing to work with.

Incredible talent blessed with spacing like this is unstoppable.

Can we be honest about what we’re watching?

If you don’t want to believe RFK, maybe believe Tylenol..

@Jen_in_TX We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@benbbaldwin It’s hard for a coach to trust analytics over his feel for the game. They’re both trying to predict an unpredictable future. It’s all odds. There’s rarely a 100% correct decision to make.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@QuiroFx @TheSevenSermons No. He did not.
Rip was in Washington, so was Stackhouse. Rodman never played with Horace Grant.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@TheSevenSermons Horace Grant was a power forward, not a center. Jordan’s first run was with Bill Cartwright and Will Perdue. Second run was Luc Longly and Bill Wennington.

[Brycers @bryceccole]

@bobbykaralla I think it’s a well stated point. I also think we have a very unselfish team with guys who can pass, so while there may not be a great scoring guard who can also facilitate, the Pacers are exhibit A of what can happen when a team has that unselfish gene.
