My face, it is so shocked.

hmm so blaming the left was the least effective style of messaging by far? that's so wild, who could have guessed

Thank you! And yes I agree

From yesterday, a really fun piece to write, at an outlet I'm stoked to be contributing to:

The Block, As Remembered By The Guy Who Called It And The Guy Who Let It Be | Defector Monty McCutchen remembers the play unfolding in front of him. With just under two minutes left in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, the game tied at 89, Golden State’s Andre Iguodala grabbed a rebound an...

The Block turns 10 years old later this spring.

For my debut contribution @defector.com, I spoke to the guy who called it (Mike Breen) and the guy who let it happen (Monty McCutchen) to reflect on one of the NBA's flashbulb moments: defector.com/the-block-as...

This is great, @bendowsett.bsky.social

I am truthfully unsure if goaltend is reviewable during a challenge for a different thing

Tony Brothers is going to hear from his superiors about that McDaniels foul call/challenge - but not because of the foul part, because his whole crew missed an obvious goaltend on McDaniels. That's pretty unacceptable.

Halftime reading, if anyone is interested:

I had to check that several times

"Neither team led by more than seven points all night"
This line really got me, I knew it was close but man

That was a wonderful read and brought this Cavs fan right back to the intensity of watching that game and especially the last 4 min of the 4th Q.

Fun read!

I agree! Lol not to plug myself too much, but I’m the guy who does lots of stories about NBA refs

this is excellent stuff

Glad to hear that, and thanks!

Thanks!

Big shouts to @toley.bsky.social and the Defector squad for letting me do this.

I'll be doing a few NBA things over there this postseason, which I am immensely stoked about. One of the best outlets on these here interwebs.

The Montreal series broke this part of my brain. I can still be petty for Boston and Ottawa, but basically no one else
