Good. It's like when my mom was super against getting the vaccine I told her very bluntly that I was done arguing with her about getting it or not, but if she wants to make that personal choice to not get it, then she will have to live with the consequences. The consequences included not going to my grandpas 90th birthday party or holding her nieces newborn. She ended up getting it in part because I was so blunt about it and I was very happy she did.

Both are "personal decisions" but still impact other people. I'm sure you and your grandpa wanted your mom to attend his birthday and your sibling wanted her to meet your niece. I'm glad she got the shot but not doing that would have been really hurtful to her family.

Likewise, Kyrie is making his team worse and hurting his teammates' livelihoods. I mean they'll all be fine, but it's a "personal decision" that impacts an awful lot of people.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Dubs going dumb on everyone this season. Curry looking like the MVP.

did anyone else really hope Isaiah Stewart would make it to Lebron? Would've been great to see IMO

No, not really. Seemed a bit performative to me

I went to a Boston v. Sixers game in Boston the other day and it was my first NBA game. It was super fun! Like, I've been to lots of NFL games and it's not really my scene and I've been to NHL games and they are an experience but, again, kind of a pain in my ass. I can definitely see myself being an NBA going to games guy based on this one single experience if I lived within walking distance!

OF NOTE:
1. Boston fans are super nice. Just all friendly and chill.
2. Getting into and out of the arena was even less of a pain in the ass then getting into and out of Kauffman. It was a full arena and it never felt annoyingly busy or crowded.
3. Bought lil steve dave a stuffed larry bird and a tatum jersey at the game. He wore the jersey to school the day I got back and my wife was telling me he was asking alexa what the score was of the game the entire night while I was there after he found out I was going.

Did you take the T to get there? TD Bank Garden is cool, downtown Boston is awesome. Next time you find yourself there, Boston's North end is very close to the arena and you'll find some of America's best Italian restaurants there.

C's fans are really cool, they don't act like Red Sox and Patriots fans, obviously there is a lot of crossover, but Celtics games are a different vibe, even when they are really good, which they aren't now
