To talk with Lenny Wilkens about basketball was to sit in on Ph.D-level discourse, and to revel in his story telling. His Cavs teams were beautiful to watch. And he was, in making the Hall of Fame as a player and a coach, walking history. And a good man. RIP to the legend.

Bernie Sanders just said it plain: “Tonight, Democrats voted with Republicans to raise healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way to kick 15 million off Medicaid. 60,000 will die every year, so the rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.” This was a betrayal

Working on my #NBA props for tonight but here’s a specific game bet I like for tonight. Cleveland Cavs over 62.5 points (1st half) -108 FanDuel Miami plays at the fastest pace in the league, and the Cavs are 7th. Cleveland’s offense is rounding into form with Garland

Thread: Alluded to this when Chuck Cooperstein interviewed me pregame Saturday on 97.1 The Eagle but AAC attendance of 18,925 last Wed. vs. Pels got my attention. Other than COVID-era, it's 1st first time a Mavs home game has dipped below 19K in 2 decades.
