What if newsrooms treated an election like a hiring decision instead of a beauty contest? I love this, from Jennifer Brandel. poynter.org/ethics-trust/2…

Mina is doing it correctly. (I'm currently at 8.)

COMMUNITY — Episode 0604 'Wedding Videography' (2015)

Really fantastic story that I am jealous I didn't come up with myself — which is just about the highest compliment one writer can give another.

A surefire Joan's Book Club sticker recipient.

Edwards sees Josh Hart coming for his crown as the best quote in the league and is stepping his game up. That's what you want to see from the greats.

Also Braun and Watson closing over KCP and Gordon in the biggest game of the year and everyone is just like OK cool that works. All business.

Denver has the 2015-19 Warriors thing where it can just go on an 'okay this game is OVER' run seemingly on cue.

Karl Towns telling his teammates that being down by 8 with 6 minutes left in the biggest game of the season (a game in which he is not playing) is a good thing is such a perfect detail. No notes.

Hm, Jokic still on the bench out of the timeout. Malone said 'next three minutes' in the between-quarter interview like Jokic was gonna check back in at ~9 minutes. Maybe with the lead he thought he'd steal another couple minutes.

+1 in the non-Jokic minutes for the Nuggets. Danger zone stuff for Minnesota.

...except at the free-throw line.

Edwards has 24 points on 9-14 shooting working mostly against KCP. Jokic has 28 points on 12-15 working mostly against Gobert. High high high-level shit from two of the game's best in the most important regular-season game to date. So enjoyable.

This is just terrific basketball.

Murray-Jokic-Gordon pocket pass -> baseline lob is the most automatic play I can remember.

Did Mike just make a LEFTY floater? When was the last time he took a floater with the left?

OKAY Jaden. That was so slick.

If you're reading this, Peyton Watson just came over from the weak side and swatted your shot.
