Neil Paine

For @phillysport, I looked at some of the biggest questions facing the Phillies in the season's second half (including, yes, that uptick in schedule difficulty) https://t.co/33CIyMzrTh https://t.co/oWCXQoRz5o

I wrote about the bleak state of sports video gaming, and why College Football 25 might be a beacon of light in the darkness: https://t.co/RioUnTJxSX https://t.co/3W81YODU3g

At @phillysport , I used my NBA free agent surplus value data since 2011 (https://t.co/CcHbZxU0e8) to look at the Sixers’ track record in free agency over the years (as they lead the NBA in projected practical cap space): https://t.co/7baxcwlDoD

For @phillysport , I wrote about the depth of this year’s draft, and why it might be an OK time to be picking outside the lottery (the Sixers pick 16th): https://t.co/af6AQ0HG1p

This was a great personal tribute to Willie Mays by my friend @ForecasterEnten — whose father (a wonderful man & lifelong NY Giants fan, even after they left NY) watched Mays at the Polo Grounds, and even saw him around the neighborhood in his retirement. https://t.co/8h1ZfQzYPY

At @phillysport, I wrote about the 1977 Sixers’ 2-0 NBA Finals collapse as a cautionary tale for the 2024 Celtics, if they allow their focus to let up (and if Dallas can make any big strategic adjustments) from Game 3 onward. https://t.co/sABVasOOkF

For @phillysport , I wrote about what it would take for the Sixers to build enough ✨ star power ✨ to win a title around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, either through free agency or potential trades: https://t.co/8WVniEAzR6

I got weirdly philosophical in this one… But the futility of Trout is the futility of man. His Sisyphean struggle is ours. https://t.co/G8dSnKG0ce https://t.co/iQnsMLqtTt

Long before Caitlin Clark was a household name, Paige Bueckers was supposed to be the best player from their HS class. Multiple devastating injuries later, Bueckers is finally back to proving why she was the best in a stacked group of freshmen 4 years ago.https://t.co/WReksC1VVH https://t.co/cVHff9frzI

New @espn piece from me today — this year, we have the best odds of seeing a Canadian Stanley Cup winner since 1994! I go through why each of the four contenders (Oilers, Leafs, Canucks, Jets) will or won’t bring the Cup back home: https://t.co/AaAQXtFze7

At @espn today, I dug into the teams that have exceeded expectations 🔥 — or fallen short of them 🧊 — the most in the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments so far… and which players are responsible for those trends: https://t.co/QfPr7ukcmq

In my latest for @espn, I looked at why the Basketball Power Index projections say it’s more than likely that Caitlin Clark and Iowa WON’T make it back to the Final Four, despite all the brilliant accomplishments of this season: https://t.co/hudC0AzsEW
