@DanFeldmanNBA Steph’s season results the last four years:
‘23 - overmatched against Lakers in 2nd rd
‘24 - 10th in West
‘25 - yet another injury
‘26 - 9th in West
It’s unfathomable that player/resume is “capable of being the best player on a championship team.” At 38, no less!
@_JasonLT Your stat on The @ZachLowe_NBA Show about Spurs minutes vs Thunder minutes coming into tonight was quite prescient; even down JDub, OKC looked fresher and more spry all night. Their depth continues to overwhelm.
@PabloTorre No snark, but I’m genuinely curious how/why you didn’t mention that Oz made an appearance on Meadowlark’s flagship show and blew the mind of a frequent PTFO Aspiration investigation contributor?
4. Good People by Patmeena Sabit
It is fantastic for a while, then falls off a (figurative and literal) cliff. The prose is excellent, until it’s not. The story is compelling, until it’s not. There’s a point in the book where it turns from greatness to an unfortunate slog.
I’m starting a thread for all the books I read in 2026. My reading has fallen off the last couple years and I want to read at least 20 books in 2026. This is mostly for me since this app is a hellscape and roughly 12 people see anything I post.
3. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le Carré
Le Carré is masterful in how he simultaneously weaves a fascinating tale while talking geopolitics of the time, all the while zigging when the reader is certain he will zag. An enjoyable read, even 60+ years later.
@failedtomenace 100% agreed. Both are serious Derby contenders based off the FOY. Commandment seems like he still has more to give and Chief Wallabee looks like he’s just scratching the surface. My prisoner of the moment thought was that we could see that same stretch duel in Louisville.
@shapsio@PhishRivMaya Cincy 03 was the best of times: so many people seeing the band for the first time in years, an incendiary opening trio of tunes, a massive mid S2 Hood and the mystery of the missing Weekapaug. Some may scoff at the Wading encore, but Trey is so good and emotive.
