South Korea has its third President this month.

President Yoon got impeached on December 14 while acting President Han Duck-soo was impeached today. The new acting President will now be Choi Sang-mok.

The Sixers did something last night that is almost impossible...

They beat Boston, on the road, in a game where the Celtics hit a ton of threes.

Coming into last night, the Celtics had only lost ONE home game in the last *three* seasons where they shot 40%+ from three.

I like that Jared McCain announces he's out for the year in a YouTube video and the Sixers are like, He's Being Evaluated Post-Surgery Stay Tuned

Jokic turning Russ into a real weapon is his greatest own of the Lakers yet, it's a good bit I have to admit.

I still don’t understand how you give Embiid that extension if his knee is cooked.

McCain's numbers over this eight-game period: 25 PPG on 49/46/96% shooting, 2:1 AST/TO ratio. Not good-for-a-late-first-rounder numbers. Not actually-supposeed-to-be-good rookie numbers. All-star numbers and then some.
From the Sixers' postgame notes:

Jared McCain's six made 3-pointers against the Nets "marked his eighth straight game with at least three made threes, setting both the overall franchise record and the NBA rookie record for most consecutive games with at least three makes from deep." (!!!!)

JJ Redick has proven to be a pretty good coach. However, the roster sucks. All of their point guards stink, their center/wing depth is bad, they have no POA defenders, the list goes on. JJ, LeBron, and AD are doing their part. Time for Rob Pelinka and the front office to do theirs.
The Lakers have a good record, but also a negative point differential after a mostly easy schedule and with LeBron and AD basically missing no games.

Hope he keeps this type of production up when Paolo Banchero returns. Would be a dangerous 1A 1B combo.
Franz Wagner in the win against the Pistons.

30 PTS
9 REB

All in just 29 minutes.

Must have .4 on the clock for a “catch and shoot”. Less than .4 must be a tip. He was trying to tip/punch it in.

Also, fwiw - many of Joker’s basketball skills - especially passing - come from playing water polo growing up.
Jokic just attempted a full court one-handed volleyball shot and he missed but it was cool because I don't think I've ever seen anyone try this in a game before.

The Magic, Nuggets, Thunder and Rockets have all done exactly what I wish the Sixers would’ve done for years where they all built their core organically and added complimentary pieces in free agency. All 4 have great cores and are either contenders or very fun playoff teams. Sixers are neither lol.

I thought I'd reshare that we have a Trade Machine on @spotrac.com!

It's got accurate rules (matching, first apron, second apron, hard caps, restrictions, etc.) and you can add in picks and draft rights too! You can toggle restrictions to On, Off or Trade Deadline:

Now that Hartenstein’s a reality.. I can’t stop thinking about the potential two man game between him & Isaiah Joe.

Just go watch Donte DiVincenzo’s tape From last year & how much he benefitted coming off of DHO’s with Hart.
