Some career news: I was among the 11 talented storytellers laid off from Axios yesterday.
I’ll always have immense gratitude for the relationships I’ve made and the events I got to cover over the past four years from the Oscars to the Final Four.
I welcome any help in finding my next role. My DMs are open and my email is [email protected]

Blake Griffin calls out NBA Insiders
"They know the rules, but they don't necessarily follow them if the rules get in the way. They're like the Jack Reacher of sports reporting... And if an insider gets a scoop wrong, what happens? Nothing. It's just on to the next scoop. It's a job with a huge profile and zero accountability — like a weatherman or a politician."

Answers that flew under the radar in Charlotte won't fly on a championship or bust team.
Lamelo on the Wolves expectations this season:
"I don't really throw expectations on nothing. I just go out there and give it my all, try to be the best we can be and let that be where it's at"
Shaq: "I was kind of baffled by that answer. At least say playoffs or something. Expectations for them is to win a championship. He needs to change his mindset"

INJURY UPDATE: @hornets forward Kon Knueppel (L Hamstring), Grant Williams (R Hamstring) and Coby White (L Calf) have returned to individual on court activity as they rehab their injuries. All three will be listed as OUT tomorrow at BKN as they continue their return to play plans. Additional updates on their status will be provided as appropriate.
More companies should adopt the In N Out/Chick Fil A business model. Figure out what you’re good at and stick with that.
Ousting top creative leaders, manually tweaking the content recommendation algo, pulling back on games -- all to try and arrest an alarming drop in U.S. engagement. It's a new world for once-unstoppable Netflix. w/ @jtoonkel and @JBFlint
