    Yeah, I don't know about everyone else but I find myself a lot less interested in sports since the pandemic started, then the prevalence of social injustice in the news and all around us, the fires along with other natural disasters that point to climate change and our horrible political situation are all so much more important and take up more of my concentration and I guess interest. I realize sports are supposed to be an escape from all of that but for me they just seem so trivial right now and quite frankly in the face of everything, they seem completely unnecessary. I realize they have to survive as businesses, so I'm not necessarily mad at the leagues. The UFC and NBA are doing a much better job making sure their athletes aren't spreading the virus than boxing, MLB and NFL. College sports have no business taking place in my opinion because they're not supposed to be a for profit business that has huge overhead but it's just a money grab which makes the risks even less justified. I just am not excited to watch sports right now and I imagine many people feel the same way... and I'm a huge sports fan. I'm sure most casuals feel this way even more and that's why I'm watching the finals and they aren't.

    Leonard just kills you in so many ways, especially on defense.

    Are the people complaining about our lack of adjustments, effort, and using injuries as an excuse against the Lakers ready to jump all over Spoelstra? He was the greatest coach not too long ago.
