The Athletic (@theathletic.bsky.social)

In one of the biggest trades in sports media history, ESPN boss Jimmy Pitaro has brought in Charles Barkley and co. in exchange for 13 Big 12 football games and 15 Big 12 basketball games. No money is being exchanged, sources tell @andrewmarchand.bsky.social...

Looking forward to the MVP chants for McCain.

Lowry is so f***ing cooked — that’s a blind spot with Nurse. Hilarious double dribble. Can’t imagine how (more) screwed they’d be without McCain being this much of an impact guy.

Lord knows I won’t clamor for Reggie Jackson, but he went 5/7 against the Cavs and hasn’t seen a minute since.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I am extremely interested to see what McCain looks like when Maxey gets back. I think he’s basically smart enough to play off of any type of star, but that’s a challenging overlap to get right

How’s McCain looking today

How’s McCain looking today

Other than a couple bad entry passes to Embiid early, the exact same…..fantastic and poised at all 3 levels. Hit ‘em with the 3, the midrange off a PnR, and the scoop layup. Could probably QB a PP better than Drysdale.

Time to switch over from the booty orange team

 

[Magua]

Caleb Martin’s lower half on his shot looks like a 5 year old at a karate class.

Magic and Heat aren’t easy for Embiid. And he’s sick today. But this is the most hesitant I can ever recall him from his money spots. With room. Not talking about hard doubles. Doesn’t trust the knee to drive. Looks out of rhythm shooting. Not really doing stuff to draw fouls.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Okay, this team is cooked.

 

[Embiid]

Okay, this team is cooked.

Don't worry Kuminga will salvage this rickety rickshaw of a team...

It's been far too long since we've picked first overall hasn't it?

 

[Stop the Madness]

What the f*** am I watching? 19 point lead and looked decent. Now they look like a G league team.

Deep cut but it looks just like the Jarred Bayless shot on 2k

It was tied when you said this. Can you just like…..go away? You have Biff energy.

 

[Stop the Madness]

Jesus christ. This team is so bad

 

[Flybynite]

McCain is 4 for 8 from three. The rest of the Sixers are 5 for 27

 

[Stop the Madness]

This team has literally zero heart and desire to win. This is the most pathetic run i have seen from them since the 10 win season.

 

[Flybynite]

The Sixers had off since Friday. The Miami Heat played last night in Indiana and flew in to Miami early this morning.

 

[Embiid]

Butler more heart than the entire Sixers team...

Maybe you should be watching NCAA Basketball tape this year instead of shift videos.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

This is how The Process ends? With a disaster season? Do they at least have their own 1st? There are lots of shenanigans with draft pick trades in the NBA so I never know

 

[Embiid]

This team is slow (no athleticism), old, lacks 3 point range, injured/ill (Embiid) and has the heart of an organ donor...(deceased of course)

At this rate, I’m thinking about never watching sports again and learning how to crochet.

 

[Jack Straw]

Watching the AI highlights on the post-game show is making me sad.

 

[Embiid]

McCain is the only bright spot.

Embiid's knee is reminding me of Jeff Ruland...worrying.
