🏀 NBA Playoff Picks — 5/7

GM1: Too late—already a quarter in, but would’ve gone with Embiid figuring out a way to even the series at home.

GM2: Denver take game 4 to go up 3-1 (60%)

Think I’m leaning towards Denver in 5 now. Can’t see Booker/Durant going for 80 again.

9-3

I’ve not been as high on this season as I’d hoped (so far), but this could (potentially) be the turning point to get things moving in the right direction again.

🏺 An Egyptian Vase — The Paris Review

The vase is Egyptian and three thousand years old. I broke its rim a few years ago. Each time I reach for a novel I am reminded of the power of carelessness to undo eons of completeness.

🎭 What happens when a story loses a main character? — The Economist

Death, in other words, is even more of a spoiler than this column. And when a principal character dies and a story continues, the aftermath mimics bereavement in another way.

🏀 NBA Playoff Picks — 5/6

GM1: Heat win to go back up by one in the series (70%)

Jimmy back after some good rest and the bench helps at home.

GM2: Lakers win to go back up by one in the series as well (55%)

AD has a slight bounce back and the home bench excels.

🏀 NBA Playoff Pick — 5/4

Golden State evens the series at one (70% confidence level)

AD surprised me in game 1, but I don’t think he can do that twice in a row on the road. Warriors will come out strong with a game plan for AD to avoid going down 0-2.

🏀 NBA Playoff Picks — 5/2

GM1: Knicks even the series at one (95%)

No Jimmy for the Heat is too much for the Heat to recover from.

GM2: Warriors take game one against the Lakers (70%)

Klay/Wiggins bounce back a bit; AD and the Lakers bench struggle to support LeBron.

🏀 NBA Playoff Picks — 5/1

GM1: Boston takes game one at home (95%)

PHI needs the stars to align to have a chance and Embiid being out on the road is no good.

GM2: Denver holds home court to go up 2-0 (70%)

PHX lack of depth means Durant/Booker need to combine for 65 to have a shot.
