guys the macklin superfan agenda may officially be complete. willingly watching a sharks game (!!) over hoop (!!) in the final week of the reg season and i feel pretty good about it.
i fell for the jays during the batflip era, but fell truly, madly, deeply, head over feet, heart over everything last season and wow does it feel amazing to be sitting here on opening day ready to cry and cheer and meltdown and rise up and cheer and cheer and cheer and cheer.
starting with bron/bronny, seamlessly transitions to why these pacers deserve our attention and have earned our respect (and why the record truly doesn't matter), and closes out, again, with father and son.
crying because of beautiful things will always be one of my fave human things and i'm sitting here crying, reading these words from @bencollins.bsky.social on @katmabu.bsky.social, who i would now absolutely, without needing to think about it, run through any wall for, any time, if she needed it. 💜
