Watching Charles Barkley do a modified version of the NFL combine is exactly what my soul needed today

As long as it's not AJ (and this presumably takes them out of the big trade market)

Ravens still need another legit WR, but that defense is gonna be nasty

The year is 2033. You make micropayments per offensive drive to watch a football game. An on-screen scoreboard is extra.

The Sixers’ house of cards is teetering The Sixers’ grip on the sixth seed is becoming tenuous as injuries and self-inflicted wounds abound.

"Let’s be real: These Sixers were always a house of cards, given the tenuous health of Embiid and George. The slightest breeze was likely to topple the whole thing, and they’ve been hit with gale-force winds, some of their own creation."

I am pleased to report that Daryl Morey said nothing inflammatory about the Sixers today at Sloan.

He did, however, engage in some not-so-light fearmongering about AI at the end of his panel. Please no one show that clip to @edzitron.com

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Jayson Tatum Achilles return: Orthopaedic surgeon explains risks, expectations for Celtics star | Sporting News Dr. Derek Ochiai explains what you should know about Jayson Tatum's comeback.

I asked a sports doc about the "rushed" narrative on Jayson Tatum's return.

-Advances in Achilles treatment have been "astronomical"
-9.7 month return to play is not that unusual
-Increased risk in coming back now vs. next year is "negligible"

NBA’s 65-game rule was a bandage for a symptom that never addressed the root issue The rule negatively impacts the NBA’s best and brightest, as well as up-and-coming stars

The 65 game rule punishes players at the top (Jokic, Shai) as well as those trying to breakout (Avdija, Keyonte George) and it also does not address the real reason for missed games β€” the NBA season is too long.

Gotta make sure that top-4-protected pick doesn't convey to OKC, Sixers already gifted them enough this year

Adam Silver, at Sloan, says NBA has to address tanking.

"We are going to make substantial changes for next year. On one hand you can completely divorce the draft from teams' records...That would be a major shock to the system. Not to completely forecast where we're going but I am an incrementalist"

The odds to win the Eastern Conference as of March 6: Boston Celtics: +230 Cleveland Cavaliers: +260 New York Knicks: +430 Detroit Pistons: +440 Charlotte Hornets: +2700 Philadelphia 76ers: +3000

The Charlotte Hornets now have better odds to win the Eastern Conference than the Sixers. This is not a drill.
