Delon Wright playing in the 4th quarter of an elimination game down 10. Takes 2 3s and misses both. Not a guy who should be playing late in games but Thibs does it anyway.

Big issue I have with LLMs and AI assistants right now is the incentive structure for these tech companies.
Growing/building the product requires increased human interaction. Tech companies will be motivated financially and from an R&D perspective to maximize engagement.

The Nuggets have solid role players. Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther are good players. David Adelman is much better at deploying them than Mike Malone.

'Dude's on another level': How Nikola Jokic quietly became a defensive analytics darling
From kicked ball violations to memorizing plays, Nikola Jokic has elevated his IQ to become one of the league's best defenders.

I haven't worked in a financial job in about 10 years, so what do I know?
But it will take years, maybe decades, to build enough infrastructure and empower the domestic workforce for these tariffs to make sense.

I have no problem with SGA winning MVP. But I'd like folks to be honest about it. If it's about team W-L and/or Jokic 'fatigue,' I can accept that. SGA is having an all-time great season and plays every night. He's worthy. But don't tell me he is the better, more impactful player.

the russians started the war in ukraine. in 2014.
the americans and europeans are complicit in not taking that seriously. for nearly a decade they continued business with russia as usual, acting as if the territorial integrity of a european nation didn’t need to be defended.

Loved what I saw from Michael Oliveto at the dish today. Big time bat that will be on pro teams' radar this spring. Yale commit. Thank you, PrepBaseballReport for an awesome day of baseball!
