That part baffles me.

I’ve interviewed him twice and he’s one of the most thoughtful people I’ve talked to in any area. And he has daughters who he clearly adores!

Almost like he becomes a different personality entirely on the court.

(But the fan was the much bigger asshole in my opinion.)

Ah, that’s interesting

Both are subpar shooters but good enough at all the other things (passing, rebounding, defense) that they’ll still get starter minutes

Makes sense the miss/rebounding numbers would be higher, and not a padded stats thing. Draymond has faults but “stat hunter” not one of them

Love that!!! 😂

(I think I’m freaking out because it’s just two numbers away from “69”)

I’m coaching a new girls middle school basketball team and they nominated “6-7” as our team name.

(We are all 6th and 7th graders.)

I spent so much time on Reddit, YouTube, reading a NYT article etc trying to figure out how this will backfire on me, and still not 100 percent sure what it means.

This is getting emotionally easier as a 49ers fan because I don’t even recognize the names of people getting hurt any more.

We kept adding 🟨🟦 bandanas to her during the 4th quarter for good luck …

My fav too, but I’ll pull out the one with lights & the train noise at least once per year.

I was mixed but liking it more and more.

A polar bear can be our mascot! And lots of potential for the playlist!

Me: “Ok we’re voting for The Tsunami, or The Glaciers.”

Team:

Me: “I should point out that glaciers are notoriously slow. But we’re a fast team. So maybe it’s ironic?”

Player: “Don’t overthink it coach”

(Glaciers wins the vote 8-1.)

I love the one with lights & sounds — definitely will pull that out once this season.

Last year’s edition was my least favorite. I skipped it.

Think I’ll wear this one the most.

I’ve heard such good things about Toronto transit!! Hope to visit one day.

I’m not going to play this game because you already picked the clear best one.

Also I made the @alamedapost.com’s 5Q4 about a year ago!

I think more people in Alameda know me for this than anything I’ve written in the Chronicle.
