The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to fire Daryl Morey, per @howardeskin“Daryl Morey is beyond life support and the Sixers are ready to pull the plug”

Morey was in a tough spot. Probably best he is let go as Philly is hamstrung by Embiid. I know they got swept but I don't think anyone predicted them getting past Boston so ultimately it seems weird to expect more.

The 76ers getting past Boston was beyond reasonable expectations.

Ringer article about the rapid increase in soft tissue leg injuries. They are speculating the reason is in the old days everyone played off 2 legs but the advent of the euro step and modern footwork has lots of players playing more off one leg and it's dramatically increasing leg injuries


Former Warriors assistant talking as Klay was going through rehab for his 2nd leg injury said this

“Basketball used to be a two-footed sport,” Adams said. The room locked in. “If you ever watched a John Wooden practice, it was always the same: get to the paint and play off of two feet. Nowadays, the game is a one-footed sport. Most players are making every move off of one foot.”

Adams’s observation was basic but profound. He was exactly right. The footwork in basketball is drastically different now than it was a few decades ago.

Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN.
He’s going to start the next game with two free throws and a tech on the spurs as a reward.

If I was a NO fan, I probably wouldn't be upset at this hire, however, we have all seen how signing coaches to 5 year contracts can be fatal.

Sources said top Pelicans officials maintained consistent communication with Mosley since he was dismissed by the Magic on May 4 and the sides formally met in person last week at the NBA draft combine in Chicago. The Pelicans believe the franchise is at a point similar to Mosley's leadership and development plan when he took over the rebuilding Magic in 2021 after a 21-win season. It led to season-by-season improvement, then playoff appearances. In Orlando, Mosley built teams anchored by strong defenses, with the Magic ranked No. 3 overall in 2023-24 and No. 2 overall in 2024-25.
