The audio of Baker talking about the Browns that’s circulating today is an awful look from that reporter and never should’ve been retold publicly. This is why athletes don’t trust the media. I’d imagine she’s in quite a bit of trouble right about now. Really terrible.

Jarrett Allen is always smiling. I mean, always. He left the arena last night through the concourse, which was a curious tactical decision from security. Smiled the whole way out. Smiled after catching that lob from Garland. Might be the happiest dude in the NBA.
