I guess it’s obvious to everyone but man Anthony Edwards is really the best player in this series.

Wolves have been involved in two D’Angelo Russell heist trades

I do enjoy watching this Suns team fail.

Interesting piece. If your goal is to have the protests on your campus go away quickly and not become national news, seems like the way to do that is just leave the protestors alone. Then they’re not protesting *you*, the university.

There's an NBA playoff game that's already in the third quarter? At 4:15 pacific time? What is this, baseball?

I think Biden's stiff gait is a huge part of why people think he's too old, and I would guess 1% of voters know that he broke his foot in two places, leading to arthritis in his feet, on top of spinal arthritis that he already had.

Not trying to ragebait, and to borrow 🤨’s words: Jokic is incredible. Jokic is also playing in an advantageous era. I would have loved to see him battling against Admiral, Pat, Dream, Shaq. Even the second tier — Sabas, Smits, Mutombo — was very high level.

The NBA is now the best 300 athletes on earth getting embarrassed nightly by two husky eastern europeans

It’s a mix, David Weigel reports: COVID caution on the left, fear of doxxing, and a key change to the law

A miracle act of pure ecstatic grief, Bob Dylan’s “Mississippi” re-imagines the itinerant thousand mile stare of 'Tangled Up In Blue' as a spiritual cleansing by ordeal. In the end, you aren’t on the road to find love or money or fame. You're on the road cuz nowhere is your home.

Glitch in the matrix: Here’s a drawing of Elvis that Jimi Hendrix made as a child, on display at Graceland. Elvis sure looks like … uhhh … someone else.
