It's a little funny to think a year ago everyone was yelling at the Boston Celtics for shooting too many threes and now look 11.5% of their points come from midrange which leads the NBA

RIP Michael Ray Richardson, a troubled and gentle soul who provided two of the most memorable quotes in NBA history. Asked during the 1981-82 season about the state of his Knicks, he said, "The ship be sinkin'." Asked how far it could sink, Sugar added: "The sky's the limit." You can't make that up.

Here's a goofy note: The MLB season started in Japan on March 20 when the Dodgers played the Cubs. It ends tonight or tomorrow in Toronto.
This is the first time the season began and ended outside the US.

Evidence thin, at least in the indictments, compared to the hyperbole at the presser. But even the alleged crimes, a $7 million poker ring? That's peanuts given what's illegally wagered. Not a very big ring. More like a pinky ring.
Thin as in the evidence is thin, or the alleged crimes are minor?
