My first vote was 1968. Wrote in RFK in NJ primary, then watched TV that night as he was shot. He died two days later. Next day, I stood in line for 8 hours at St. Pat’s to pay my respects at his bier. Day after, wearing my RFK button, I graduated college. Don’t be cynical. Vote!

So much of the “the NBA is too 3 point heavy” criticism just boils down to: I liked basketball better when the players weren’t as good at it.

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

They really missed the mark at least a third of these don’t apply to me. For instance, it’s my PODCAST that has 37 subscribers I don’t have a YouTube channel…

This picture is so funny

@sparkygriswaald @haralabob Keeping the border secure by killing legislation to secure the border if he doesn’t get to take credit for it? Fuck off

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@BillyReinhardt Look, I’m rooting for the guy. He’s already shown me plenty. I still don’t think people appreciate the opportunity cost required to let someone with Cam’s usage try to round out his game in real time. Getting a couple years behind KD/Kyrie and then walking into a rebuild is great

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@BillyReinhardt I’m actually not sure you could have a better situation for a player type like Cam Thomas than being surrounded by defensive-minded, off-ball role guys like he was last year. Do people think he’d be doing better in a Rockets-style rebuild??

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@MikeyV1908 @NetsDaily @LucasKaplan_ @staliataylor Which, idk if you were doing that, I’m probably just yelling into the ether a bit

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@MikeyV1908 @NetsDaily @LucasKaplan_ @staliataylor Those were fun, and yeah I didn’t really look at earlier series (though they were great). I think I’m reacting to a lot of people basing their opinion on this series on game 5 (admittedly not aesthetically pleasing!), but games 1-4 were just such good back and forth games

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

This really lays bare something you can’t un-notice once you notice it: Lamenting the plight of small market teams is one of the most effective tools owners have of suppressing player salaries.

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@LucasKaplan_ Or, to re-phrase, is there a return he could realistically fetch that would make it worth it for the Nets?

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@LucasKaplan_ Do you think there’s a world where Wilson fetches an outsized draft capital return given that he’s on a salary even a 2nd apron team could absorb? Or is he too far away from being a rotation guy at this point in your opinion?

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@LucasKaplan_ Better yet Lucas’ followers: get in on the ground floor of the next Nets dynasty. The Nets will never disappoint you. It’s a known thing they don’t do.

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@MikeyV1908 @NetsDaily @LucasKaplan_ @staliataylor Literally every game of this series was close, & most were absolute duels down the stretch with both teams trading baskets against incredible defense. Last night was definitely the last round of a heavyweight fight where attrition was catching both sides, but so was Gm 6 in 2016

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@MikeyV1908 @NetsDaily @LucasKaplan_ @staliataylor My historical W knowledge is admittedly not great so apologies if I’m missing some there. I don’t remember Lakers/Pistons in 88 and wasn’t alive for Lakers/Celtics in 84.

Congratulations to my favorite Liberty player, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton. Betnijah was here holding it down before the big 3. She contributes in each game she plays in ways that don't show up in stats. This championship is for you 👑🐝

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@FlaggLyn_NAce @JeriTsaiNets In addition to her fighting through screens and pressuring the ball,I thought this rotation is a good example of a “winning play” she made on D as someone who is not necessarily an impact defender. 0% chance her close out alters Phee’s shot, but it buys time for Nyara to

[ClutchPoints @ClutchPoints]

NYARA SABALLY WITH THE CLUTCH BLOCK 🤯

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

@FlaggLyn_NAce @JeriTsaiNets Plus taking her defense two levels above what we’ve ever seen from her before. Just absolutely battled on that end for the entire playoffs

[Russell And Fro @RussellAndFro]

Just such a complete team:

Stewie as the best player
JJ as the Finals MVP
Sab hitting the biggest shot of the series
Betnijah winning them Game 2
Fiebich turning the water off
Nyara out of nowhere in Game 5
KT wrecking shit off the bench
CVS playing crucial closing mins v LV
