@davedufour.bsky.social when did NBA teams cede the seats adjacent to the scorers' table to rich people who get courtside central? I can't see the logic of having the coaches and teams sit foul line and back into the deep corner. What is the game about? I know I'm answering part of my own question..

If they won't budge off 82 games, will they come down to 10 minute quarters and just accept that the numbers are different?
Steve Kerr said he’s “concerned” about the increase in soft tissue injuries across the NBA. His medical staff believes the increased pace paired with the schedule has led to it.

“They believe the wear and tear, the speed, the pace, the mileage is factoring into these injuries.”

It's unfortunate that the Canadian constitution has so much built-in tension between federal and provincial governments.

It's more aggravating that our media feels they need to aggravate it

There are many significant problems in the world.

But can we all agree that it is fundamentally wrong for the Wordle bot to give a 0 zkill score for "a valid guess but it’s unlikely to be a solution based on what I've learned from playing Wordle" #fightthebot
