When something smells a little fishy and you closely examine some of the stories, it's not that they're wrong, exactly. It's that they're presented in such a manner as to seem more controversial or more significant than maybe they really were. This is pretty common, and I think Tim does some of that here. He's got to make a living.
Yep. As an example, any retelling of the relationship between Carlisle and DSJ that doesn't mention how DSJ quit on the team because he wanted to be traded to a team where he'd be the featured PG is IMO a lie by omission. Carlisle may indeed be an ass, but MacMahon's new habit of dropping rehashed negative stories the day of a Mavs game on ESPN is pretty transparently self-serving at this point.
But eventually this will blow over. And I look forward to 2025 when Tim releases his hard-hitting expose on newsworthy events happening this season.
