My feeling is, Love will be fine, and if everyone else in your league overreacts to this unfortunate news, you should take advantage.

To describe it as curious or clever doesn’t do it justice. It is magnetic. It is hard to read the tweet without wanting to click on the link to see what it is. It is a great article that Comcast SportsNet NE writer Jessica Camerato published detailing Boston Celtics rookie
