“I jump to social media’s funhouse-mirror version of reality before I’ve even taken in the reality it’s meant to reflect. That I can still—mostly, for now—see this process happening and minimize its impact on what I believe doesn’t make it less unsettling.” theringer.com/2026/04/30/nat…

@BillSimmons rigs the top four NBA draft picks with his ideal team/player fits

I'm laying the -8.5 with the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 tonight vs the Toronto Raptors. You can also lay the -9 for less juice as well so you're not laying -118 which increases your break even rate from 52.38% to 54.12%. The Cavs have won their home games by 13 and 10 points while scoring 126 and 115 so laying anything under 10 feels right for this Cavs team who probably should have won Game 4. Offensive Ratings for the Cavs at home during this series are 127 and 117 as they're shooting 40% from three at home compared to 28.2% from three on the road in this series. I think home court looms large in this series and we should see a return to form for Donovan Mitchell, James Harden and Cavs role players. I'll lay the -8.5 with the Cavs. This also feels like a Cavs team total over 113.5 as well so if you want to bet that as well, I think you'd find yourself with a +EV wager. You can go ahead and bet these wagers at @FDSportsbook #FDPartner

@BillSimmons on why the NBA's new anti-tanking proposal is too confusing

Here is my SGP for Celts/76ers @FDSportsbook @ringer Embiid took 21 shots last game George & Maxey took just 27 combined. Philly needs more of them and less of Embiid Tatum is at 15+ Reb/Ast in 3 of 4 I’m expecting a big Jaylen night #fdpartner account.sportsbook.fanduel.com/sportsbook/add…
