✖︎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.

✖︎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.

✖︎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.

✖︎Finally got around to listening to this. Always one of my favorite podcasts as we get ready for the summer movie season.

✖︎We dare you to find a single bad scribe who can disgrace themselves and their profession faster than ChatTCM.

✖︎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.
7-3

✖︎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.
6-3

✖︎That was… a lot…

✖︎This is just extremely cool.

✖︎Boston evens the series at one (75% confidence level)
Even with Embiid back, I struggle to see Philadelphia winning two in a row in Boston.
5-3

✖︎“It was that he expressed concern about the impact of that hatred on his own brain”
Would be quite the twist.

✖︎I know most of the people reading this have already abandoned Twitter, and maybe I’m falling right into the trap, but this man is desperate for attention.

✖︎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.
4-2

✖︎Chicago’s WGN? “World’s Greatest Newspaper,” named after its original owner, the Chicago Tribune.
Also in Chicago, WLS? “World’s Largest Store,” that would be its original owner Sears Roebuck.
Had no idea.

✖︎We knew it was coming, but the writer’s strike is finally here. Hoping the writer’s can come out on top, getting close to their ask, sooner rather than later.

✖︎Another superb issue of Noted. The way Coppola transposes the novel into a giant binder of notes and thoughts is literally what dreams are made of.

✖︎Nothing groundbreaking here, but a good reflection on the Tucker Carlson ordeal and what route he may take next to terrorize the airwaves.

✖︎1 May 2023
✖︎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.
3-1
