If a man is willing to say Ben's Chilli Bowl is his favorite restaurant in pursuit of power, who knows what else he might be willing to do

Ben’s is a DC institution/landmark and should be celebrated. But if you’re saying that’s your favorite restaurant in the city you can’t be my mayor cuz why’re you lying to us

Very convenient time for the Wizards to pivot away from tanking.

Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has passed new anti-tanking rules that include expanding the draft lottery from 14 to 16 teams, a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams get penalized with lessened chances for the No. 1 pick, and flattened odds, sources tell ESPN.

Best democrat politician since Obama. He’s got the politics/pr game in a chokehold.
Mamdani: So often when confronted with intractable challenges, the world has looked to New York City to show the way. We have built the great things before. Skyscrapers that rise into the clouds. Grand bridges, libraries, and museums. A team that can come back from 22 points with a little less than six minutes left in the game

“The notion that everyone is just gonna accept it is insane.” As unbeatable as Thunder-Spurs look, NBA GMs aren’t flinching. @HowardBeck:

I didn’t think Hartenstein was playable in this series — but if he’s gonna be allowed to maul and grab Wemby like this on every play he should play 48 minutes. This is hilarious.

NBC might as well bring Kevin Harlan on to call the rest of this series because Mike Tirico talking like this his first NBA game he’s seen this season. Hr just feels so unfamiliar with the nuances of basketball.

Neither Wizard rookie was snubbed. Tre started hot and injuries really derailed the second half of his season and Will Riley caught fire a little too late. Both had good seasons and have bright futures and this would just be more motivation.

There’s something beautiful about the accountability of playoff basketball. Whatever flaw or weakness in your game you try to run from your whole career is going to walk you down and catch you in the playoffs. And you’re going to have to reckon with it.

If you read anything today, please let it be this article.

The editorial staff has to be trolling at this point because what is this? It’s an article with one paragraph that literally explains nothing. Journalism is actually dead.

This is why the Curtis solution for postgame interviews needs to be implemented.
Show Wemby a video of his three in OT on a monitor.
Ask him to narrate it, like golfers do after a round.
You'll get way better material.

“What kind of endurance did it take to win this game?”
“How did you continue to show up and make the right play?”

When national media say Kelsey Mitchell is the number 2 for the Fever and you know they aren’t watching the games 😂

"When is she gonna start winning at the next level? She has not won a playoff series yet. My take is, she has her Pippen, Kelsey Mitchell…
