Look at this chart from B-Ball Index, with individual perimeter defense performance last season on the vertical axis, and overall defensive impact on the horizontal axis.

Let's be honest: Biden's policy just whatever Jake Sullivan tells him.
Harris's National Security Adviser is Philip Gordon, and there are some indications that he would be less worried about "escalation." Before the invasion, he called for advanced equipment to be sent to Ukraine.
So, I actua...

If you're at Dupont Circle, then you should check out the Phillips Collection right there. It's not a huge art museum, but it contains some elite pieces.
I'm a big fan, for example, of Renoir's greatest masterpiece.

Delta canceled my MSY-LAX flight last night. Originally scheduled to depart at 6:00 PM, I thought there was a decent chance we'd make it, since the plane had been at the gate since the day before (they'd already canceled MSY-LAX in both directions twice during this mess).
But there was no crew t...

We always wanted a center who could shoot 3s, and now we have one in Theis, who shot 37% from deep last season. If Theis can reliably bring opposing centers away from the basket, then that opens up everything for Zion in a spectacular way (what we once thought we were getting in Nicolo Melli).

The fact that Russia is beginning to run low of MT-LBs is not, in and of itself, that important. The MT-LB is a generalist vehicle that performs no single essential function that cannot be done with other Russian armored vehicles.
However, the fact that Russian stockyards have been almost comple...
