Made this graphic for my day job, inspired by my last post. Here's to hoping the streak is broken tonight.

The last time the Pistons won a home playoff game (May 26, 2008):
-the iPhone was less than a year old
-the no. 1 song in the country was Lollipop by Lil Wayne
-no 1 movie was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
-I was in third grade (I am now 26)

It never gets old to watch CJ McCollum get buckets

The Hawks are good enough on defense to make this series interesting

Can Extensions Go Too Far? Sometimes, when all parties act in their rational self-interest, they end up pursuing the same course of action, even if it’s not best for the group as a whole.

Cade takeover time

Magic’s defense has been very good. Pistons need to shoot better in the second half

Cain on the Magic has been flopping like crazy

Love that NBC just showed Mason doing the player introductions instead of doing the traditional SNF-style introductions

The Dallas Wings' two best players are about to have a big gay summer Azzi Fudd is a Dallas Wing, and my gay heart couldn't be happier.

I understand the myriad reasons why a lot of outlets chose not to make hay out of Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's relationship. I, however, love gay women so I blogged about how happy it made me here:

Pistons-Hornets round 1 feels inevitable

It’s a 3 point game in OT and prime has technical difficulties??? What the heck Jeff Bezos

All Coby White does is chew bubblegum and hit big shots, and he’s all out of bubblegum

Highly recommend

The perfect book to read for the start of baseball season. I especially loved the pine tar homer and Ozzie Smith chapters, I learned so much. Excellent work by @joeposnanski.com

Mason Miller Is Unbelievable It’s hard to make sense of Mason Miller’s sheer dominance, but I tried to express it through the comical statline he’s compiling.

That CC Sabathia story about the “kangaroo court” they used to have in the clubhouse was hilarious, he’s been real good on these national broadcasts

Between You Me and Tuscany & Pizza Movie, today has been an excellent day for watching new movies that are actually funny

Keider Montero is in his BAG rn

It’s an unreal feeling to listen to all the podcasts and read all the articles praising Dusty May and Michigan this morning

The Big Ten has the reigning national champion in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

The best part of this is we don’t have to hear about that stupid Big Ten title drought on every national broadcast anymore

TREY MCKENNEY PUTS THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN!!!

This basketball game is going to take years off my life

An 11 point lead feels like a 21 point lead in a game like this, Elliot Cadeau has been playing his tail off

This has been an ugly basketball game

Barely anything from Yaxel, Elliot with 2 fouls and 0/8 from three, and Michigan still went into the half with a two-possession lead. As bad as that first half went, it could be a lot worse.

Michigan went four and a half minutes (7:38-3:06) without a made field goal. UM is somehow up 4 after that drought.

The worst words in college basketball: “the officials will head to the monitor here”
