Head’s up: when Sen. Padilla gave his very first statement after his brief pow-wow with Kristi Noem, he specifically said “I was not arrested. I was not detained.”

FWIW, he himself stated that he was NOT detained.

Love ya Thom!!!

The palming in the NBA is an abomination.

It is cheating.

I hope and pray that it becomes “an area of emphasis” at some point.

And yes, I *did* officiate high school intermural games two or three lifetimes ago.

You’re welcome.

I don’t get it. IT’S THE NBA PLAYOFFS, dammit! 🏀 What’s wrong with guzzling beer and then pinging your bookie to bet on an individual player?

What’s that you say? “Pat Sajak has something for ya”?

Oh, I’ll just bet he does.

This post (like *so many* Marcy Wheeler and Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social posts) is going to age unfortunately and painfully well.

I wish that I were wrong.

And Jokić calls.

Kawhi Leonard

39 points

Clippers 105-102

KL: Last minute bucket

KL: Last minute steal

KL: Last minute defensive stop on Jokić

Series tied now

*Great* performance by Leonard.

I hope that Sebastian Gorka is a third member and is providing a driving, pulsating, faux Slavic-Brit heavy bass backbeat.

(And ohhhhhh, doesn’t Jason Miller wish he had Gorka’s chin and whiskers. Where IS that guy these days???)

Man oh man, did my post criticizing the Jimmy Butler trade when it happened ***NOT*** age well.

What an outstanding team / personnel move by the Warriors.

What great leadership and chemistry by/for Butler.

Glad I was so wrong.
