    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Isn't this confirming that the celts didnt play good defense AND the Heat had an outlier shooting night? They shot 41.3% on wide open 3s this year...65.2% last night.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Quite frankly Id be astounded if he said anything different, and would actually be angry at him if he admitted it...and what he said is exactly what I want to hear from him. I still think, even if it's on a subconscious level, there's got to be some benefit.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I think it likely benefits Swayman mentally knowing he's part of a rotation, and knowing that Stanley Cup hopes of the entire franchise lies squarely on his shoulders...and there is a correlation between that and his play so far. A strong correlation? Almost definitely not...so overall I hope...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Thanks for this well laid out response. For the record, I completely agree that when Tatum takes those early ATB 3's that it's a win for the defense on that possession. What I was trying to get at is does it help them on other possessions. In my head it's kind of like a football team running a...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Question for people who are much smarter than me...lets take your numbers as accurate and of their 49 3's 14 of them were bad (or at least, not good looks). Isn't some of the reason they get so many good looks is because Tatum is good enough at the early shot clock 3s that they have to defend...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Yeah I mean that's exactly how I read your post anyway, but appreciate the disclaimer. One thing that really gets to me is when people take the stance about their player/team "___ player or ___ team isn't good or mentally tough enough to win." Especially prematurely. It's the easiest stance to...

    Tatum or Ant?

    I've never (intentionally) bookmarked a post in my 20ish years on this site. Until now. This is probably the most succinct take on all this, and I plan on revisiting it often and sending it to people as necessary should things get dire the next couple months. That said, here's to hoping for a 16...

    Tatum or Ant?

    But Tony, Tatum hasn't won the title yet... You're right Mike!

    Tatum or Ant?

    Doesn't some of this have to do with where a respective team is at as well? The Celtics, right now, would want Tatum over Ant. And Id argue the TWolves are close enough that they'd also want Tatum over Ant. I mean quite frankly IMO any team should take Tatum over him, but I can see an argument...

    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    Yeah i think if I were playing more than once every couple weeks (platform tennis takes priority from oct til now) and had better rhythm on my drop those numbers would look different. But for now I trust my drive enough that it has a better chance of producing a much easier next ball to drop on...

    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    First off I appreciate the nod...but my dupr is like a 4.7 though so IANAPPB. When it comes to my first shot after me/my partner serve my logic tree is pretty much: Bad/shallow return: 90% 3rd shot drop, 10% drive at/pass attempt (mainly to keep them on their toes) Good/Deep return: 30% 3rd shot...

    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    I think you are thinking of the same film? It's interesting because I completely agree that it's pretty standard...but at same time Im glad they did it because I dont think I wouldve bothered to watch (not sure id even heard of it) without knowing I could listen the pod after.
