Good morning and happy race day! There will be a fan-filled Coca-Cola 600 this evening, which is important as the state considers investing $45 million in motorsports.
Here's what that money could mean for NC tracks and tourism:

Will Chase Elliott do something his father never did today and win the Coke 600? I think he will. My interview with and column about Elliott, the 25-year-old defending NASCAR champion: charlotteobserver.com/sports/spt-col…

More satisfying to the Bucks than some payback vs. Miami? Getting tangible results from their workshop of a regular season, seeing all the tweaking and tinkering pay off. Their No. 1 adversary this year was themselves. nba.com/news/bucks-hea…

Randle’s struggles seem most like a symptom: The Hawks keep doubling, and other Knicks have done little to take advantage of the strategy.

While Julius Randle struggles in this series, Tom Thibodeau's advice for how the Knicks star can adjust and fix it is pretty simple right now: "Just be Julius. I don't want him overthinking it.... He's our engine. He's a fighter. He's tough. He's smart. He'll figure it out."

@DanWolken I got a great lesson once when I asked a scout “(Player X) can’t be the 5th pick, right?” He replied “We can only take the next-best-one,” then lectured me on not thinking every draft is linear and comparable to the last.

@CandaceDBuckner @JLEdwardsIII Webber is an excellent comparison, Candace.
English
@JLEdwardsIII Hard to answer this because Paul George gets so much disrespect and I can’t remember a retired superstar who is still getting dragged more than being appreciated
But maybe Chris Webber, ‘Nique or Peak Gary Payton (before he signed on as a role player to win a ‘ship)

If PG never wins anything meaningful as one of the best two players on a team, who from the past has a comparable career narrative? Talented, considered in the highest of tiers, but missing it. As someone who has always rooted for him, I’m not telling my kids about him.

I found it interesting that Nate McMillan says Julius Randle’s handle is so good you must approach defending him as if he is a guard.

It doesn't appear Kyrie Irving is out here with the Nets for pregame layup lines.

@NickWilsonSays If the Hornets sign Noel, do all the “Biz has hands of stone” comments become “Noel has hands of stone” comments?

This Knicks offense is having an unparalleled stretch of awfulness at 8 minutes to go in the 1st half...I mean oye

@daringantt They looked great at the Peach Basket 10 years ago.

The clock in Atlanta works better than those Knicks uniforms. #old

I’ve long thought creating free-throw attempts is the least appreciated skill in basketball. Trae Young is so crafty at that.

This Julius Randle-John Collins back-and-forth looked entertaining
