This would be it. Claire talked to Cameron Brink about her journey in the last year and a half.

can confirm this report! lol excited to share the story i'm working on

*disclaimer: THIS IS NOT REPORTING* but what if the big man and guard the the lakers are going to get this summer are jarrett allen and darius garland, and that's why they aren't being aggressive in free agency?

lakers front office not exactly covering themselves in glory so far this week

seeing posts like this i am convinced a large portion of the sports viewing populus has brainworms because in what universe does this far fetched conspiracy theory have legs

bill simmons: *constantly mocks espn for talking about lebron and the lakers* also bill simmons, on his own pod today: i don't know why this lebron lakers situation isn't a bigger story, it should be

There's always, always a Tjarks story. www.theringer.com/2019/11/27/n...

the pacers refuse to die and i wrote about it at @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

i'm having fun writing about this one. i can't tell you the last time i had fun writing an article. it's usually kinda like going to the gym: you feel really good after it's done but while you're doing it you kinda wanna die. what a game

NBA teams were 0-121 when down by 7 or more points in the final 3 minutes of regulation in the NBA Finals over the last 28 postseasons. They are now 1-121.

god i love my job

uh i know there's like, a lot going on rn but it's also day 1 of the nba finals and me and my colleagues made our predictions about the series here: www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

btw for those of you who've been asking why nba awards ballots aren't public: they are. all of our ballots are listed publicly here: pr.nba.com/voting-resul...

new words: i wrote about why the glass is actually half full for the wolves for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/m...

i have a piece due whenever this series is over. annoyed at the wolves for making it due tomorrow, grateful to the wolves for having this be such a decisive blowout that i can write while it's on

"even when something good happens, it ends up bad!" - mike breen inadvertently describing minnesota men's professional sports

wish u were on the broadcast, mark

there is no way around the fact that every playoffs there is a minimum of one series for which rudy gobert is unplayable regardless of what team he's on

soooooooo

the funniest part about how much harassment i get online from wolves fans specifically is that when i go to mn to cover games no one says a damn word to me besides to say they like my work.

when the onion is reality

now feels like a relevant time to mention that when we did our pre season predictions at @theguardian.com, i picked minnesota okc for the wcf and the knicks and the thunder in the finals with the knicks prevailing👀

live by the westbrook, die by the westbrook. tale as old as time

i am NOT REPORTING ANYTHING i repeat i am not reporting anything but the combo of this cavs second round upset, the tatum injury, and giannis maybe heading west feels like it makes a lebron & cleveland reunion that much more likely

ooh i wonder what the odds are that jaylen brown ends up in houston with ime udoka like we all thought would happen pre championship

could san antonio trade the 2nd pick for cam johnson and some other stuff? might make sense

ant has a preternatural feel for the moment. knows when it's time to shine--- shades of 4th quarter game 7 against denver last year

it's extremely apparent that the warriors would have won this series pretty easily with a healthy steph curry

knicks! (prayers up for JT though)

how the fuck is the nba supposed to beat the rigged allegations now smh

did anyone tell the cavs that they’ll be down 3-1 if they lose this game

this is what my twitter mentions look like btw

i just calculated how much i spend a month on supplements and maybe i don't need to be healthy after all

yeah that and a mute notifications button that actually works is the selling point right now

my notifications are just full of the nastiest, angriest mess every single day. not sure if it’s cause my profile has elevated a bit from last season or because the app is like incel summer camp now. prolly a combo

the only available babysitter for the warriors with steph hurt and draymond fouled out is jimmy butler and he’s doing a great job tbh

i have to assume that ant would be playing better overall if steph was playing, he seems to step it up for the highest level player competition. but whew, does gsw have mn’s number

the warriors have absolutely zero business being in this thing without steph, but minnesota is handing them the opportunity on a silver platter

gonna try using this app in earnest again. twitter is so awful now that even me, who always said i would use it until the wheels come off, is finding it unusable

anyone who was surprised donovan/the cavs rallied and showed up when extremely short handed for an important playoff game: did you just start watching the nba playoffs? this is textbook

the "nba product has gone downhill" chorus has been awfully silent the last few weeks

a quick lakers postmortem, with as much as can be deduced while the body is still warm, for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/m...

Damn shame this season is likely gonna go down with two of his classic playoff performances. Also, read @clairempls.bsky.social’s stuff cause she’s awesome and does great work.

Another dope article from @clairempls.bsky.social

on how lebron’s chameleonic nature is reaching new heights in this, his 22nd season he isn’t just one of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball. he’s several of them. give it a read! www.sbnation.com/nba/2025/4/3...

i'm writing about lebron (duh) and it's healing me. pivoting to gratitude for what we're witnessing from him in year 22 and away from the "what ifs" about this roster and opponent

gabe vincent makes it a 19 point game at the buzzer more impressive than their scoring: the lakers only gave up 15 first quarter points

it feels like these two teams freaky friday’d from game 1: so far, LA looks more poised, focused, and aggressive, and MN looks quite out of sorts

i’m 99% sure luka passed up that open 3 just to get an opportunity to put rudy gobert on skates a true sicko
