    News from around the NBA 2025-2026

    Actually, for the most part, I've found playground rules to be fair. The players usually call it straight. It's an honor system. In the NBA, players try to sell calls to a referee to gain an advantage. There is a different dynamic going on. It's like a game within a game, and it's like...

    I'm not worried about stats if the offense is effective. Stats are a byproduct. They will take care of themselves.

    Official Kyler Murray career thread.... (post Cardinals/Vikes)

    The Cardinals were forced to pass last season. Passing for the sake of passing doesn't always translate to wins. Now a running game and passing for effect, could be a totally different matter.

    I haven't heard it out loud from the Cardinals organization, but a good running game should open up the passing game.

    Technique is everything but the Suns need more from their centers than that.

    All a coach has to do, is tell the players to commit a couple of hard fouls. They should know since they have been playing the game all their life.

    The Suns supposedly had two enforcers on their roster. Who would have guessed.

    I agree. It was fun to see two former Suns involved though.

    I got a kick out of who was committing these so-called "dirty fouls."

    No love for the Spurs or OKC. They deserve each other. Maybe I can root for Mikal Bridges in the Finals. The NBA lost me along the way with their channel surfing.

    What the Spurs got away with back then would make OKC blush, so I don't want to hear then whine.

    CD rates am I right here?

    Thanks for the clarification, especially defining the terminology. I was talking more about diversification. ETfs in S&P 500 companies sounds like a safer way to go as it spreads the risk over a number of businesses. There is no guarantee one cannot lose money in the stock market. That's...

    ESPN had the Wolves including Joan Beringer in a trade to the Grizzlies. Now, I'd be all over a trade to get Beringer.

    CD rates am I right here?

    I thought about using Vanguard because of their low fees, but I'm mostly a novice at this stuff, not handling anything directly. Sounds like S&P ETFs might be a good way to go for higher interest rates, safety and liquidity. CD rates are not cutting it with inflation.

    The way the NBA has switched up viewing options has left me not watching games that I could have watched. I'm wondering if other fans have felt this way. I think Charles Barkley got this right. From Yahoo Sports: Matthew Couden, Thu, May 21, 2026 at 6:34 PM MST· 3 min read “I think Adam...

    I was surfing the internet and came up with an investment site named "Betterment." It is reportedly an automation type investment business. I was wondering if anyone uses it or has thoughts about it. https://www.betterment.com/
