Good point. Spurs coaching left a lot to be desired and not just re. Harper.
Devin Vassell on Dylan Harper:
“He was upset with playing time and different roles that he was in.”
Harper throughly outplayed De’Aaron Fox in the NBA Finals, but was never moved into the starting lineup when he was by far their best player in advanced metrics.

In the meantime you've got to toughen up, muscle up, be more aggressive, attack the rim. Your 4th quarter stats against the Knicks were not good at all.
Victor Wembanyama:
“What I’m pissed about is there’s probably 100 games before we can be back in the Finals. I’m going to have to hold that inside of me and slow down and wait and execute for 100 games.”

As great as he is, Wemby is not scoring at near his potential. He's been badly coached. Allowing him to play on the perimeter so much instead of taking advantage of his enormous height advantage down low is illogical.
“We absolutely dominated for most of the series”

The euphoria over Canada getting a tie with Bosnia was extraordinary. Given the FIFA world rankings with Canada 30th and Bosnia 64th a draw is hardly a great result.

This can't happen. Daniel Dale's fact-checking is so needed.
Jun 11
CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale hasn't conducted an on-air fact check of Trump in more than three months, a stretch that coincidentally began around the same time Paramount announced its merger with WBD

Trump's hokey fundraising solicitations are coming at me non-stop. So much fun. My latest column.

🇺🇸Trump has stated 55 times that he defeated Iran.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 35 times that Iran is destroyed.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 38 times that a deal is imminent.
🇺🇸Trump has stated 25 times that the Strait of Hormuz is open.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.

Knicks win! Instead of charging in for a rebound on Brunson’s shot, Wemby stands at foul line and watches as Anunoby gets it.

So stupid for Knicks coach to sit KAT for so long just cause of two fouls. Still four to go. This is the finals coach. You don’t make knee-jerk moves.

I've been hearing from some people who will be boycotting the U.S. ambassador's 4th of July bash. After his recent posting that we should be the 51st state, it is utter hypocrisy for Canadians to show up at his party to toast the Stars and Stripes.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

Spurs should win NBA title if Wemby plays down low. Was better at it last game. He's capable of scoring 40 if he doesn't hang around the perimeter. Can't understand why Popovich let him get away with that when he first came into the league. #NBA

More idiotic statements from Trump about not needing anything from Canada or Mexico. And about terminating the agreement. Best to just to ignore it because in a week or two he'll be saying something very different.

TRUMP: “I’m not concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning. I love it. I love the inflation.”
At this point I’m convinced Trump is intentionally trying to destroy the United States.

Wemby’s great but achilles heel showed again. Plays too much on the perimeter. Should have attacked the hoop on the final play instead of taking outside shot. @michaelgrange @sportsnet

Interesting column in Star today about Carney's tough-guy conduct, yelling etc. at meetings.
But as for dictatorial behaviour, Chretien and Harper, as I've chronicled in books, were worse.
(Carney, I should add, has only been in power little more than a year.)

Yep. As I say in the column, "The Trump administration does not represent how most Americans feel about Canada."
Jun 4
I wouldn’t be so quick to judge a nation based on the comments of a few in power. Start by looking in the mirror! The American’s are an awesome people. As are we Canadians.
