For the record, I might not be the president of the Ron Harper Jr. fan club, but I’m at least an officer. Have really enjoyed watching him play in Maine. Glad to see him come through in his 33 (!) minutes last night.

Totally agree. Intriguing player. Nice to see him rewarded.
Love to see Amari Williams get his deal converted. He has done everything right since joining the team. Even with the expected growing pains, overall, he has impressed when given opportunities.
Celtics' depth chart at center now features Queta, Garza, Vucevic, & Williams on a standard deal.

Good stuff here on the evolution of the Hall of Fame voting pool, including the most complete demographic breakdown I’ve seen on time since joining the BBWAA (a proxy for voter age but not a perfect one) vs. candidates selected per ballot. Lots more to unpack here

Quick 🧵: The Post stuff is nihilistic and confusing. Beyond the oligarchic logic, the earnest little patriot still somewhere inside me is so scandalized by the sheer cynicism of it all. Just…why? You didn’t have to do this. It’s mean, sad, and would leave your great-grandmother shaking her head. 1/3

A silly little story: 20 years ago the WaPo sent a big team to the Winter Olympics and that included Dan Steinberg (@dcsportsbog.bsky.social) who wrote the “Tales from Turin” blog, which was a thing of wonder and is now depressingly hard to find in the archives.
