“Saying that my Dad lives on in every Spurs possession sounds insane, and yet, it kind of does.” for BASKETBALL FEELINGS, @william-goodman.com wrote beautifully about the old grief and new connections to people the spurs being back in the playoffs bring

For BASKETBALL FEELINGS wrote about what ifs, Wake Forest, Silver Springs, how special this San Antonio Spurs team is and how I can’t share it all with the man who led me to become a fan from the start. Poured a lot into this one; thanks to @wtevs.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/basketba...

godspeed to all the miserable dorks out there who think @katetscott.bsky.social is too positive tonight

Billionaires are the biggest losers on the planet.

this has been cj mccollum for nice guys

pissing people off for not being mean enough on-air! going from producing traffic to tv! the relentless lack of routine in the NBA! the enduring intimacy of radio! sixers fans finally (maybe) feeling hopeful for the future! the BASKETBALL FEELINGS podcast episode 68 with @katetscott.bsky.social!

thinking about the time cj mccollum and i talked about volcanic soil, the man knows his wine and he knows his moments

salt in the wound playing i wanna dance with somebody cavs game ops

in my professional opinion here’s where the raptors need to close the gap

no real way to preface this but i have a physio appointment today, on 4/20, at 4:20 pm

toronto: the only city that would rather have a funeral for a parking lot than celebrate a brand new, public access practice facility for its brand new wnba team

spurs arena fan colour coordination making me cry

i take back everything i said about the orlando magic being depressed

Definitely written by somebody who has driven from Toronto to Cleveland, although not enough mentions of the Peach Street highway exit in Erie, Pa.

suns-thunder, woof

if you’re not interested in watching nba blowouts, i wrote about the time before the blowouts happen

oh god is this an add for nolan’s odyssey on the lakers court? my only love sprung from my only hate

happy for jarrett and his zelda scoring sound effect

thinking in this moment about the guy who yelled “raptors time let’s gooooo” to me earlier as he sprinted into an lcbo

How can you not be romantic about this sport

strus in his long hair don’t care era

we ride at 1pm eastern time

anyway congrats to the 4 people at the magic game

the bigger ideological question remains: why were so many of you willing to be fooled by the hornets? recession indicator? messiah vacuum?

can’t tell you how gorgeous this game is to me, made better by watching in a bar with a lone depressed man in a hornets jersey

toronto tempo announce a joint, multi-use practice facility with the city of toronto that will boast year-round access for the community in addition to the team — to open in 2028 across from coronation park

For @wired.com’s April cover, we take you inside Madison Square Garden’s surveillance machine — which has allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. Revelatory work from @noahshachtman.bsky.social & @robertsilverman.bsky.social that I’m proud to publish and urge you to read.

the premise of this column on diana russini resigning — that she underscored the trope that women only want to work in men’s sports to hook up with the men in them — is absurd to the point of parody and, i’d argue, far more damning to women working in the space

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where @wtevs.bsky.social joins me for an all Raptors-Cavs edition of What's More Likely?! 🏀A Raptor scores 25 PPG the series, OR no one clears 20 PPG? 🏀Raps take 35+ threes a night OR Cavs take under 35? 🏀Raptors win the series OR Cavs sweep? youtu.be/vQ8VKpS_Zpc

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

a good marriage is your partner having the super cut of lamelo running the red light outside spectrum centre ready to cheer you up

i would simply not refer to miles bridges as a guy who has "been through it"

just thinking about scooting by pat riley in your section on the way to snacks/bev/washroom
