Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray and Cults I Have Once Known
It’s generally accepted that social media killed blogging. I assume it’s probably not quite that simple.

https://twitter.com/JClarkNBCS/status/1296257431287279616?s=20 You can see it in Brett Brown’s face as he looks down at the stat sheet. It’s the look of someone who is trying to make some sense of what has happened, sifting through data in the hopes of finding some reason to believe, some confirmation that what occurred was not as bad as… Continue reading Watching the Sixers Was the Worst, Bleakest, Part of a Postseason Taking Place in a Disease-Free Bubble Built by the World’s Richest Men
