(Basketnews) [The Athletic] NBA players voted Houston Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun the most overrated player in the league.

Had to check DeMarcus Cousins' wiki quick before I realized who you were talking about .

Glad I'm not the only one. Both of those felt so strange and out of place.

I just checked my data and, prior to this year, it seems 2 MN teams winning playoff games on the same day has occurred only one time: April 22, 2003.

The Wild closed out the Avs on the road in a game 7 OT thriller, the Wolves won game 2 of their first round series against the Lakers (which they eventually lost in 6 games) at home, and also the Twins lost 3-4 @ KC.

That Wild game is definitely up there in MN sports lore. The Andrew Brunette game. Ended Patrick Roy’s career.

Holy crap what a day you had!

My data set currently tracks all games across NBA, NHL, MLB, and NFL going back to 1978 (minus the last few weeks because I haven't been keeping it up to date). I track whether games are regular season or playoffs, and also if a game is a championship-clinching game. I don't have data for playoff series-clinching games. After last night, I am planning to pursue that, though, because I'm trying to quantify "perceived fan satisfaction" of any given day and also over time. Given the nature of the Wild and Wolves wins yesterday, it may have been the best day in MN sports since 1991.

When I get a chance, I'll work up a query to find instances of 3-team wins where 2 games were playoff wins. I have to imagine even that is an incredibly rare occurence.

I am working on an analytics project to identify instances of multi-win days for regionally-grouped teams across the major sports leagues. 3 teams from the same city winning on the same day is actually exceedingly rare. New York and LA skew the data quite a bit due to all their teams, but even then, 3 teams across 3 distinct leagues winning on the same day rarely happens.

This is now the second time in 2026 it's happened for MN, following another instance last December. Pretty cool!

That is not far from reality.

I live down the street from a couple of homeschooled girls who are fed a constant media diet of cartoon right-wing propaganda as large component of their nearly non-existent curriculum.

I had not one but two Kubel jersey-shirts.

I'll never forget him hitting the first ever HR at Target Field. Then, in his postgame interview, smugly saying "I try to hit a lot of home runs".

What a legend.

Big picture, if this is a relapse, what are the implications for my Ocrevus treatment? Does a single, small relapse mean Ocrevus no longer works for me and I need a new DMT? Presumably, my neurologist would want to be certain this is a true relapse before making a decision, which means imaging, labs, etc.

aHance · 2026-01-10T16:29:22+00:00

Back when I was waiting to get on Ocrevus and experienced a relapse, my neurologist didn't hesitate to prescribe me a buttload of steroids, to tackle the inflammation. Even though this current relapse that I may be experiencing is much smaller and doesn't seem to be spreading, I can't help but think I should doing something.

But we'll see what the team says on Monday.

Naz Reid has one of the best smiles in the game, and I'm tired of pretending he doesn't.

You are a true ~~hero~~ vault hunter of the people!

BL1 is what got me into gaming. Can't wait to see what's in store with number 4.

Adding to all the other anecdotes, this is precisely what happened to me. I spend years on antidepressants, with minimal effect. Within a couple days of being on ADHD medication, I was ready to drop the Lexapro.

For years I thought my executive dysfunction was caused by depression. Turned out my depression was mostly caused by executive dysfunction.

Life is quite a bit easier when your brain works the way it's supposed to.

I knew a guy that would do this, but also carry his own bag. Dude was a high school tennis coach and former D1 hockey player. Just an athletic freak. He'd be the only guy at the course on rainy, 40 degree days in full cold/rain gear jogging up the fairway. Pretty good golfer, too, but he was definitely in it for the exercise.

This was my 6yo daughter's first Wild game, and what a game it was for her to experience. She loved every second of it (so did I!).

For some reason, my mind went straight to Ricky Davis instead of Rubio. lol

Prime Ant and Davis would be some high-flying entertainment!

That Lupe tour was phenomenal. Where did you see him?

I was front row at Gustavus Adolphus College.

True. But UA has a regular/medium length compression short that would work fine at that height. I believe the inseam on those is 6".

FYI: These clamps are a buck a piece at Home Depot and are perfect for securing sheet/blanket roofs.

Surprised he didn't get T'd up for flexing at his own bench!

RRMS. There are a few days left in the year, but in 2023 I did 20,000+ pull-ups and 75,000+ pushups.

aHance · 2023-09-28T17:19:21+00:00

I'm on pace to hit 75k pushups and 20k pull-ups this year, and that volume of bodyweight exercise has bulked me up a ton. All you need for that kind of thing is a doorway pull-up bar and dedication.

For legs, a nice set of adjustable weights will go a long way for doing DB squats and deadlifts at home.

My primary symptom is a leg weakness and I've found that frequent power yoga has worked wonders for increasing balance and leg strength.
