Giannis And Embiid, Just A Couple Of Giant Space Monsters Smashing Everyone Else Into Hell
The Bucks played the 76ers yesterday, in Milwaukee. The game had an outcome; the outcome had no effect on the standings.

Mike Scott Enjoys Overpriced Cocktail In Between Possessions
Late in the first quarter against the Bucks, Sixers forward Mike Scott fell into the crowd while chasing after a rebound he was trying to save for his team.

76ers Subjected To Two Miserable Last-Second Losses In One Game
The 76ers lost by a point to the lowly Bulls Wednesday night, 108–107, in Chicago. Whatever.

Markelle Fultz Shooting Form Update: Disappearing Into The California Sunshine
Going from a No. 1 overall pick on a team with legitimate NBA Finals aspirations to one scrapping for the chance to get swept in the first round felt like just the right amount of pressure that Markelle Fultz’s flimsy shoulder could bear to hold.

The Phillies Knew Their Fans Wanted Bryce Harper Over Manny Machado

Bryce Harper At His Phillies Press Conference: "We Want To Bring A Title Back To D.C."
