another banger of a lookahead with @samsonfolk.bsky.social, who remains one of the 🐐s.

an annual rite of passage unlike any other: i regret to inform you that your favorite nba team is complete and absolute butt.

bleacherreport.com/articles/252...
Nutshell reason of why the Celtics won't win the title: The manufacturers of championship rings do not except promo codes. Nutshell reason of why the Mavs won't win the title: Nico Harrison's master vision apparently doesn't include dribbling. Nutshell reason of why the Rockets won't win the title: Elven of their roster spots are occupied by power forwards and centers. Nutshell reason of why the Clipps won't win the title: Age circumvention is not a realistic aspiration.
