Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic: "They traded probably the best scorer in the NBA at 25, and he didn't know about it. It's a lot more digging somebody got to do to find out why he got traded. Because you don't just trade him at 25."

Really poor journalism by @fvcurrent.bsky.social - comparing housing for developmentally delayed folks to supported housing for addictions and mental health. Not to mention the massively disproportionate amount of said housing that Vancouver has and the rest of the province lacks. #bcpoli
On Monday, Hope will likely approve a 14-unit housing project for adults with developmental disabilities. One reason people like Ken Sim think other communities don't pull their weight is just b/c other cities are smaller. On a per-capita basis, this is like a 1,400-unit project in Vancouver.

Hard to top the Triple Lindy
You aren't the only one sick of watching Patrick Mahomes draw critical calls for roughing the passer and unnecessary roughness.

One NFL coach agrees.

Marie-Philip Poulin looks emotional as the starting lineups are read. Captain Clutch joked yesterday she’d likely get a bit misty pre-game because she’s “getting old.” Also said these games are a privilege. #pwhl

Marie-Philip Poulin says she still gets emotional for every big PWHL crowd:

“I think I’m getting old and maybe getting a little softer. It’s always such a privilege to be in these big crowds. I don’t take it for granted — I think they’re the best moments.”

My local 7-Eleven locks just about everything up now. It started with just drinks and has now expanded to the candy aisles.
Asking the cashier to unlock your late-night 7-Eleven haul is a new level of shame.

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem.

3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot.

Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact.
Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest.

Of course there are more 3s
