LOVE the new rule!

Isn't a rule that encourages teams to load up on no-contact relief pitching going to slow down the game more?

3-3 tie going to extras, team wins 12-11 in 19 innings.

Record two outs and get the loss!

So much for the theory that the new rule speeds up the game.

I mean I said I don't care and his wife may not even care, but Disney will almost certainly care.

Not to mention having a wife and three kids. Like I don't really care but he may be done at ESPN. And then he can come back as the new Greg Anthony.

They're not allowed to review and overturn a foul call. They are allowed however to determine who was called for the foul which is what the officials did last night. I'm sure when reviewing to see if Williams was the one who committed the foul it became obvious to the officials that no foul was...

For those of you able to log in (I never can for whatever reason) there's a drop in 22 minutes.

Oh wow! PUKE! I had never seen that before. How in the Metoo era this hasn't blown up is beyond me... other than there seems to be this thing where if you were creepy/perverse prior to Metoo and already had to apologize for it before Metoo then you're good. Which I'm not sure should be the case...

Been out all day. Totally agree. This would be very depressing to me. Will read the rest of the thread now hoping that by the end, my worst fears are just that and he is still firmly entrenched as the Celtics coach.

I take no offense and I welcome the pushback because I like the opportunity to think and rethink the game as much as possible. Annnnnd I'm very confident in my coaching ability :) but that said, I can't address all your points because of life (haha I should go to sleep) but I'll say this. I...

You bring up a great point. Thinking stalls the ball. Whether you have the ball or you don't. Role ID (like having one and knowing/understanding your role and feeling confident in your role) is very important especially when we're talking about players who are very good at one or two things but...

HRB is onto something here. Movement inherently is at odds with spacing (just read up on Harden, Morey, and the Rockets), especially when there aren't enough highly skilled players on the floor. I'm all for move the ball, move yourself. Yet, that takes not only ball skill and off-ball skill, but...

It seems the draft is coming down putting all chips in on going after an upgrade at QB whether that's trading up in a big way or trading picks for an improvement in a veteran QB (not sure if they have the cap space for this) or just hey, get younger good prospects who provide depth and develop...
