Good morning, all!
The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics are playing the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals this afternoon at 3:30 on ABC. The Knicks are up in the best-of-7 series, 2-0, and are the home team for the next two games. It is a must win for one team. I describe which team is on the hot seat in this DAN ON SPORTS commentary.
The Knicks, by the way, have not won an NBA title since the 1972-73 season.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
