Plus, two things that shouldn’t surprise us.
Happy New Year, y’all! I certainly hope this week’s edition finds all of you well.
Forgive me for taking the one-week newsletter hiatus to begin the calendar year. But it was for good reason: During the holidays, I capped the best, most fulfilling year of my adult life by asking the woman I love to marry me, and she said yes. In light of that, I couldn’t be more excited for all the surprises 2023 has in store.
With the regular season at the halfway mark this week, I figured it’d be worth running down the things I’ve been most surprised by and some questions I’m eagerly waiting to learn the answers to as we head into the second half of what seems like a wide-open NBA campaign.
