I’m American. “Do you believe in miracles?!” in 1980 was the most thrilling sports event I’ve ever seen. Was FERVENTLY rooting for Team Canada last night. I’m sure there are many more like me.

2025 Hawks have been a tough watch

Turnovers definitely an issue. And JJ “deserved” (past tense). Out for the year. :/

Fair point. Trae gets almost 3 more FTA per game. Cuts into some of the FG% disparity. And a full 6 more assists per game.
comment in response to post
Herro scoring 23.6 per game while Trae is at 22.7 per game. But Trae leads the NBA in assists, even ahead of Jokic (with worse finishers in the lineup).
comment in response to post
Herro over Trae is ridiculous.

Great point. Perhaps reinforced with the notion of “blow(ing) away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.” If our universities believed in humanities any more, a course in Springsteen lyrics would be worthwhile.

A warning from 46-years ago, which makes the song/lyric even better. And yet, from the same album, “I believe in a promised land.” Darkness is his very best.

Sub-optimal. :/

Might this move us to be a trade deadline “seller?” Tough schedule looming.

True. He defends well against everyone, though.

Is it possible we’ve had our backup PG in College Park all season (Wallace)?

Let’s go Kings! We’ll need that first round pick.

Who raised this guy? If there was ONE point my father tried to teach me is to deliver on a good firm handshake. Bonus points to look the other person in the eye. Infuriating that he won’t even look at the vice president.

Because an “America First” agenda has built in blinders for whatever is happening elsewhere. Was in Europe at the height of inflation and once you converted liters to gallons, you could see their gas was almost double the cost. MAGA doesn’t do liters to gallons conversions, apparently. :/

Good point. #Legroom

Fitting for the times: “Blow away the dreams that break your heart, blow away the dreams that tear you apart, blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.”

Side 1 is pretty great, too. Version of E Street Shuffle they played on this recent tour was my favorite song of the set.

No worries, legacy media will be relentless in figuring which it is and scream the answer from the mountaintop #sarcasm
comment in response to post
You called it. “There will be injuries.” Bummer. Guessing this will amp up trade speculation in search of a backup PG

By all means, let’s make this person our nation’s top law enforcement officer.

The Cup Final Four caught the league flat footed. All 4 teams have great stories - but they’re not the Knicks (Steven A), Celtics, Lakers. That missed coverage of these 4 teams + weird start times made the Cup a back burner issue.

Let’s get it, ATL!

Los Pollos Hermanos is an amazing fantasy football team name.

“Disappointed in my Spotify Wrapped” has become an annual tradition, for me at least.

Cancelled my @nytimes.com subscription for this reason November 6th. Have been so much happier since.

More wild stats. Those are the Wizards’ only two wins. And two of the Cavs three losses.

Yes. Here’s Point Blank. youtu.be/IpRa_vLl3No?... Whole show used to be on YouTube, but not any more :/ This is what they played after intermission-a fun one youtu.be/JxsT8pkCmJw?...

I’m a pretty ardent student of that song. Other than the version played on your first date with your partner, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one than the Fox Theatre 1978 performance.
