My gateway to Brian Wilson was through this book by David Toop. Comparing Wilson to Free Jazz blew my mind and set me off on a decades long journey of musical exploration. I interviewed Toop about all this @wfmu.bsky.social STREAM ➡️ wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

It’s such a good play that she came up with after playing flag football and refined it with Sue Bird, who told me it works because “basketball defenses can’t guard you and hit you the way safeties in football can, so at some point they’ll be on their heels. “

The Las Vegas Aces have underwhelmed. The Chicago Sky are unwatchable. I don’t know what they’re doing out there.

I never thought the Dallas Wings might have to move Arike Ogunbowale in order to find someone who can complement Paige but… Here we are.

Here's a fun fact: The Pacers have YET to trail in any of their series this postseason!

What an incredible last 2 minutes between the Lynx and Storm...wow

Paige Bueckers with 30. Generational.

Charles Barkley: "What is the deal with Siakam? Why he go from passive to aggressive from game to game?" Tyrese Haliburton: "I don't think that's a fair assessment..." Grant Hill: "And Chuck, that's a polite way of saying he doesn't agree with you."

Get thee to YouTube

Firing your coach with no plan will do that...

The Pacers are now 20-1 this season when Haliburton has 20+ PTS and 10+ AST (reg season + postseason)

Pacers are now 4-0 when coming off a 15+ pt loss in the postseason. That’s impressive.

Ben Mathurin was the difference tonight. 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting in 22 minutes. Haliburton with 22+11, 4-of-8 3's. Pacers forced OKC into 17 turnovers with TJ McConnell stealing three in-bounds passes. Pacers won at home in the finals for the first time in 25 years #nbafinals #nbasky

Every Finals game is either (a) listen to every basketball podcast in existence tomorrow morning or (b) throw my phone in the river. Very sorry to lose this perfectly nice phone.

🚨 Pacers defeat the Thunder 116-107 in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead! Bennedict Mathurin: 27 PTS, 4 REB, 9/12 FG Tyrese Haliburton: 22 PTS, 9 REB, 11 AST Jalen Williams: 26 PTS, 6 REB Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 24 PTS, 8 REB, 4 AST

The legacy of the Pacers, no matter the rest of this series: One of the all-time conditioning teams. The other side of everyone looking tired against them is them rarely looking tired at all.

This Hali record...

The halftime show will focus on the Knicks offseason cap sheet and whether or not Luka and Lebron can truly coexist in LA.

Big time win by the Pacers! Game 4 on Friday should be awesome. Can't wait!

The 68-win OKC Thunder now facing a must win Game 4 on the road in the NBA Finals. Against the team that lucked its way through the playoffs while led by the most overrated player in the league.

Heck of a win by the Pacers. OKC looked really tired by the end of this one.

Overrate that

Folks, we have a series here.

2-1 Pacers

Can’t say enough about McConnell and Mathurin’s impact tonight. They starred in their roles. Gave the Pacers the lift they needed.

The Pacers would be the first champions in NBA history that weren't either a top-3 seed or the defending champs. Easily the most unlikely winners ever if they pull it off.

…But ESPN will still be talking about the damb Knicks

Stop fouling!!!!!

Who cares what he does on the court anyways, it’s not like he’s the face of the league

Myles Turner had Chet Holmgren in hell on this possession

…Imagine if Tyrese Haliburton was a superstar, guys

De La Soul "3 Feet High & Rising" (1989), "De La Soul Is Dead" (1991), "Buhloone Mindstate" (1993) & "Stakes Is High" (1996)

Postseason-high 18 turnovers for OKC, they're on pace to commit more turnovers than their opponent for just the second time this playoffs

Benedict Mathurin is playing like Ronny Dobbs in “Backyard Basketball” tonight…

Fun part of this Finals? Both the Oklahoma City and Indiana crowds have been awesome! So much energy and noise in both arenas.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Your tongue was a different color for longer than it should've been. I can still tase it and I haven't had one since "Silver Spoons" was still on the air before syndication...
