I wanna be “overrated” too 😮‍💨 🧙‍♀️

Had the chance to speak with Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and watch him train with the great @Eric_XCMMA. Really fascinating to hear how much MMA has influenced the way he coaches. He’s clearly put in the work himself. Far more than just a fan of the sport. Hard to admit as a Knicks fan, but props where they're due.

@Oscar1050519 Prob not unless as a sweetener to a huge deal. Bari’s contract is one of the most highly valued in the league along with Tari’s due to the team-friendly and LT commit nature of it. he’s plug-and-play to any team.

@St012Mi Hopefully they trade his ass soon

Bari leap time

@Oscar1050519 he’s still young (23), same age as Amen (23) and Sengun (23). KD’s words aren’t gods. It’s still 50/50. He’s been the most consistent and now is locked in to 5 seasons w/ the Rockets so stable environment to put together. Not saying he will but saying he might hopefully. 🤞

@St012Mi That's a wish we all have but nope it won't happen he is one of the retards KD was talking about

@Stunna999_ regardless, I’m looking forward to see the Terror Trio with Marcus, Amen, and Tari out there together to create havoc.

Should Marcus Smart start for Houston 🤔

Season 2 of The Agency (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) is sheer Cinema. You guys know by now that I strongly prefer Cinema to television as a form of art, but when excellence calls, I answer. And while my understanding is a third season of this show has yet to be confirmed, if The Agency were to conclude with its second season, it would conclude with one of the best seasons of television I can remember. A cast made up of Oscar nominees (Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright & Richard Gere) every last actor is at the top of their game. I’m genuinely sad to have finished this season. The following review is spoiler-free for those who haven’t seen season two, but if you have yet to see season one, I’d refrain from reading further.  I think one of the great pleasures in life is finding a show that you can binge. Whether it be because you love the characters or because you love the various plots, sinking into a show you can’t put down makes daily life so much better. With that said, one of my biggest complaints about television has always been that with the average show, you’re bound to be uninterested- or sometimes even annoyed- with at least a few subplots or characters. There are exceptions to that complaint (see The Sopranos/Breaking Bad) and The Agency is absolutely one of them.  The second season of The Agency juggles a few complex plot-lines but does so to perfection. The balance of each sub-plot is fascinating. The primary plot here is Martian (Fassbender) has now been recruited as a double agent for the British in exchange for their help in freeing Samia (Jodie Turner-Smith). It’s the storyline that drives this entire season and influences almost every other character. We also have the CIA’s hunt for a rogue mercenary group Valhalla and an intelligence operation in Iran. But as I mentioned, all of these storylines converge & unite around Martian’s exposure to the British. It’s not just that this show does the perfect job of juggling complex stories around espionage, it’s that the production is top-notch, even by Cinema standards. London plays a constant, hovering role throughout & there’s a deft combination of action set pieces mixed with heavy dialogue. All of which rolls into 10 episodes that constantly jack up your heart rate and engulf you in the show. For 10 episodes, I was taken to London & I was a fly on the wall within the CIA. That’s how immersive this show felt & a big part of that is due not just to the story & script, but the production.  Then there’s the acting. This is some of the best work of Fassbender’s career & his career is loaded with excellent work. Fassbender borrows parts of his performance from David Fincher’s The Killer, but there’s a quiet vulnerability that Fassbender brings to Martian that feels 1) believable and 2) raises the stakes of the show, especially when it comes to Martian’s interactions with his daughter & Samia. Fassbender is the show’s heartbeat but Jeffrey Wright (Henry) is the perfect second-in-command. Wright’s skepticism of every last person around him throughout this season is his secret weapon. You never know who he trusts or who we’re supposed to trust. Lastly, Richard Gere- my guy, my boy. At 76, one of the greatest actors of the last 50 years still has his fastball. There are moments in this season where Gere walks circles around Fassbender & Wright both together. It’s acting of the highest order.  I truly hope there’s a third season of The Agency because season two could not have been better.

I love Bari but this is killing me😭😭😭

@AdamSpolane big checks 😿

Warriors add Frank Vogel, Spurs add Billy Donovan, Rockets add no one

Steal. Dive for the loose ball. Pass to Oscar Cluff for the layup. Great hustle from the No. 31 overall pick, Bruce Thornton 👏 Watch Rockets/Raptors in NBA Summer League action on Prime.

@ShamsCharania what in the … @JTGatlin

Free agent guard Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Lucas Newton tells ESPN.

@funakistats maybe quality of looks or something. hard to tell.

@funakistats I think his reliance is HEAVY on improvement from existing (realistically marginal if any) and Bogi, maybe Thornton if he gets minutes but Smart+FVV on volume doesn’t help at all lol

Rafael Stone’s moves since his exit interview focus on improving the Rockets’ 3PT shooting… Lost • Holiday 39.4% (3.0 3PA, 57 games) • Okogie 38.5% (2.1 3PA, 78 games) • DFS 27.0% (2.7 3PA, 37 games) Added/returning from injury • VanVleet 34.5% (7.7 3PA) 2024-25 • Smart 33.1% (4.7 3PA) • Bogdanović 34.7% (4.1 3PA) • Thornton TBD if in regular rotation League average: 36.0% Stone also said yesterday that Durant’s minutes will likely be reduced (41.3%, 5.8 3PA) No doubt Stone has addressed Houston’s 3PT volume issue (28th in attempts at 31.5 per game last season)… But on paper, 3PT efficiency likely drops significantly (10th at 36.4% last season)
