I SUPER LIED IDK WHAT THE HECK THIS GAME WAS

[Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski]

Barton is a Connelly favorite. Brings a lot of positive energy. Finch was impressed with him last season in his time around the team.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

No, there is another. I stand with you.

[Connor O'Brien @connorado]

Good quick read. Plus now I can’t stop thinking about how incredible Jokic on Hot Ones would be.

[Hardwood Paroxysm @HPbasketball]

Nikola Jokić is not signing his extension with the Nuggets this summer, setting up next summer. It will be a story all year.

I wrote on why I think Jokic re-signs, and the answer is pretty simple. At the Denver Dig.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

I’ve noticed that now that the Maine senate race has a broadly agreeable nominee, left-wing people seem to have largely lost interest in the party where you need to beat Susan Collins.

[NuggetsNation ⚒️ @nuggetsfan4ever]

If this is it for Russell Westbrook I have a lot to say but i just want to appreciate one of the best technical fouls i ever seen 🫡

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

Let me tell you a little story.

In 2014, moderate Democrat Brad Ashford defeated a Republican incumbent in NE-02, one of only two Democrats to do so that year. Sadly, he lost in 2016 after failing to outrun Clinton by enough in a district Trump won.

In the 2018 blue wave, Ashford sought a comeback. NE-02 was now prime territory for Dems, full of suburban and urban voters who did not vibe with MAGA.

But progressive Kara Eastman disliked his moderate stances, and, backed by Justice Democrats, beat him in the primary by 3.3 points.

Tragically, despite Biden going on to win NE-02 by 6.5% just two years later, and 2018 being an enormous blue wave year that saw Dems win in places like OK and SC, Eastman lost by 2pts. She was unable to persuade suburban voters, who elected normie Republican Don Bacon.

THEN she tried again in 2020 and lost by 4.6 points, underperforming Biden in the district by more than **11 points.**

Don Bacon has thus been entrenched in the US House ever since, until now. He is retiring, which will probably let Democrats finally win this seat.

I have never wanted to do this, but my dad and mom need help more than ever right now.

Dad can't work for at least 6 months, he's 60, and doesn't have health insurance.

Even just sharing this tweet would mean the world to me. Thank you.

@NBABlackburn I'm not convinced 2026 Tre Mann is more valuable than Zeke.

[Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn]

Ah, I see. A move I like.

[DNVR Nuggets @DNVR_Nuggets]

𝑩𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮: The Nuggets WILL match the Thunder’s offer sheet for Spencer Jones, per @ShamsCharania

He’s returning to Denver.

[Anthony F. Irwin @AnthonyIrwinLA]

They have bird rights on both. Literally no basketball reason not to match this.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Jensen has perhaps the best LinkedIn work history

[Bavril Smith @BavrilS]

@NBABlackburn Spencer Jones on a no shenanigans $12M offer sheet should be signed every time by the Nuggets, just for the asset. Not doing so is incompetence (based on what is visible to fans). If you are trying to compete, he's an asset. If you are tearing down, he's an asset.

[Adam Mares @Adam_Mares]

Spencer Jones is such a Thunder player. Fits their mold perfectly in the best way

[Bavril Smith @BavrilS]

@HPbasketball Please make sure Ryan has adequate medical support when Braun plays like Steph for 3 Mos and Nuggets still have to give up assets to dump him.
