Next up: a two-fer from *me!*

I wrote about the Spurs, and whether they're ready for Victor Wembanyama's close-up: yhoo.it/3WvYokc

And I wrote about the 76ers, praying for a clean bill of health as they try to thread a very small needle: yhoo.it/48nYEck

Breaking down the biggest question, best- and worst-case scenarios, and win projection for the Spurs in 2025-26.

It feels like at least a coinflip that "Chinese Irish spice bags" was a barely-acceptable-to-publish slur about a century ago www.eater.com/travel-guide...

The freewheeling meal of spicy fried chicken and fries has spread abroad as Irish culture and food have become popular online.

I like Giannis suggesting the headline.

I really like Giannis specifically referencing @jimowczarski.bsky.social and Eric Nehm, stalwarts on the Bucks beat.

I'm REALLY angry they don't have a Bucks podcast together called Jim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job.

Sixteen of these suckers are up now, meaning we're more than halfway through the league — a perfect time to read up on the teams we've already done, and to stoke your anticipation for those we haven't to a fever pitch!

I haven't shared them yet because, well, I've been pretty jammed up with writing, but our Y! Sports NBA season previews started rolling out this week! Ben Rohrbach and I will be writing quick table-setters for all 30 teams over the next few weeks, and I'll thread 'em here.

On this week's BIG NUMBER, @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social and I also hit the news that Ja Morant is "week to week" with a sprained ankle — the latest in yet another string of injuries to befall the Grizzlies — and the state of affairs heading into the season at FedEx Forum: youtu.be/PZqxvnve9e4
