Wolves with a convincing win on the court of the #2 team in the West last night. Great team game as well. They've had issues coming together this year, but hopefully it's starting to gel. I still don't think Randle is a good fit, but he's certainly been playing very well lately. And hey, five straight home games coming up!
So, I've been keeping one foot in both the Bsky world and the Tweeter one. For the former, I followed a lot more serious accounts while the latter is much more irreverent ones. Anyway, one of them has been a lot more depressing than the other.
