Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

cool to see Indiana get this moment at home. it's the epitome of a small market, flyover state, and it is the basketball capital of this country, it really is. every driveway has a hoop. everyone in the state knows the game.

sure does seem like the refs are favoring the knicks

The speed of this game is incredible so far. I'm exhausted just watching it.

the NBA wants the Knicks in the Finals for financial reasons. that's just facts. refs will lean Knicks. Pacers have to run, they have to somehow stay out of foul trouble, and they have to shoot the lights out. that's it.

What's happening in Gaza is a genocide. It is criminal and wicked and deeply wrong. The images of starving people, terrified children, dead and wounded children, should shock the conscience of us all. I'm going to keep posting about it until it ends. It must end.

The player Haliburon reminds me of the most is Magic Johnson. He’s not as big as Magic, or as strong. But he’s a better shooter & he’s every bit the leader and passer and clutch performer that Magic was. Same kind of charisma and emotional intelligence. Guys love playing w him. He’s just a winner.

the thing about the Indiana Pacers is that Tyrese Haliburton isn't a superstar and is the kind of overrated player who drops 30-point triple-doubles with zero turnovers in crucial playoff games

the key for the Pacers is always: keep running. if they run, they win. if they slow down, they don't.
