He should emcee his own induction. I’m sort of not kidding - he’d bring the right flavor of pomp/circumstance/sense of humor to that.

"The diversity pipeline, let me say it this way. Sometimes, you have to look at how the world's changing around you and readjust where you are. There were certain aspects of some of our programs that were very race and/or gender based. We know that people in Washington felt it was important that we passed our programs in a way to make sure that we can continue on with our programs, continue to pursue the values that we have always adhered to without tripping what could be legal problems interfere with that process. You know, that's a judgment, my judgment. At the end of the day, I think I made it right."

I’m “rewatching” the game this morning by starting at the beginning of my BlueSky feed. And I came to this - and without context I can’t figure it out. Do you remember what was terrible?

You can’t call it a tweet here. Avdija and Robert Williams looked decent out there and Banton was insane for those four minutes in the first half. Aside from that… the Blazers looked like the Blazers. Wolves just got stuffed into their lockers.
