People will come Ray, they'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't fathom. Of course we don't mind if you look around, you'll say, it's only $4,000 a person on SeatGeek™, the official ticketing partner of Major League Baseball

five days into the new era and I cannot tell you how refreshing it is for the complaining about the Sixers roster fit being "they just have too many guys who can score at will, how are they possibly going to keep them all happy?"

petition to refer to every minor NBA salary dump trade from here on out as "getting Broomed"

I’m sorry but if your position is “I would have rather seen the Fox halftime show than Shakira” it’s possible you are too conditioned to hate any type of change

if I saw this picture seven days ago I would’ve guessed Kwame Brown before I guessed Jaylen Brown

I'm workshopping a take that the "you can't win with this many supermax guys" is the NBA version of "you need a QB on a rookie deal" in the NFL. Is it optimal to have a rookie deal QB? Sure. Is it the *only* way to build and win? No, and smart teams will figure it out.

it's taken me a while to properly process all of this but ultimately I've realized that if I hadn't spent the last decade hating Jaylen Brown I would've declared this a win in 0.2 seconds and now that I've cleared that hurdle (Jaylen was never wrong), I'm there

i saw the first half of my notification pop up that just stopped at "have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown" and in that split second I thought "lol imagine if it was the Sixers" and then it was the Sixers

Algeria/Austria is one of the most deranged finishes in the history of the sport

Matt Carey @mattcarey.bsky.social · 23/06/2026
really this is ideal, Giannis and Bam aren't winning anything, Giannis on the Celtics would've been really annoying, and now the Celtics have the whole passive-aggressive Jaylen Brown thing to deal with, 10/10 outcome

if a US player gets a mouth-covering red card at any point in this tournament it will be all anyone ever talks about for the rest of time, the discourse would last weeks

imagine the McCain trade but instead of getting picks you trade a pick to get rid of him, then you sign a shittier version of McCain who's also a racist to replace him for the same cost anyway

the good news is that the Sixers no longer have the worst contract in the league

interesting choice for the Monstars to take Chet Holmgren's talent of all people in this game but hey I guess Shawn Bradley was the choice in the original and you want to stay faithful to the source material

being a Sixers fan during this run is going to be like rooting for a spunky mid-major, we spend our days arguing about like how much Kelly Oubre plays like any of it truly matters

when Wemby learns the Embiid ripthrough it's all over

Matt Carey @mattcarey.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
Caruso hitting seven threes and putting Wemby in a blender in crunch time, this is a different sport than Eastern Conference basketball

this is like one of those reunion episodes of a different sitcom where you get the cast back together of a more popular show, but you play the hits like "Paul Reed should play more" and "has Tobias hit a shot tonight" and in the end the gang loses Game 7 by 30 just like old times

I was hoping that the arrogance of the Sixers was going to be Bob Myers saying "I can just run this team and forego the other stuff" but instead it's going to be Bob Myers saying "I'll get someone to do the boring stuff and then parachute in to make the important decisions"

Matt Carey @mattcarey.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
can i put it on record now that by far the funniest and most Sixers outcome here is Bob Myers conducting a nationwide search that takes three months and deciding that the best possible candidate to take over is Bob Myers

why does every Sixers regime change have to be as messy and awkward as possible

Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, and James Harden all winning game 7's in the same weekend, hopefully Ben Simmons caught a nice-sized bass this weekend too

when I was at Game 4, there were Celtics fans dad and his kids sitting in front of us. They left before us, and as they did, one of the kids, maybe 10 or 11 years old, turned to me smirking and said "good season" before bolting out. i hope that kid cried himself to sleep

there's nothing I love more in March than a mid-major who just spends the entire game jacking threes and letting the gods sort it out

Derosa about to misspeak a few more times before this is over
010
Matt Carey @mattcarey.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
the whole "this is bigger than the World Series" thing is gonna end ten minutes after the game when they ask Derosa why he didn't use Miller and he goes "ah, he's had a lot of work lately, I didn't want to use him tonight unless I had to"
010
Matt Carey @mattcarey.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
they put the Pete Crow-Armstrong graphic over the pitcher and honestly I wouldn't put it past Derosa based on what I've seen in this tournament

one of the things I do enjoy more about this variation of the NBA tanking debate is that even the dumb ideas have a recognition that it's not enough to address the symptom, you have to address the root of the problem that tanking is the only way for most of the teams to improve
