2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers
Yep. I stand by that statement. You'd need another angle to disprove the notion that Lowry knocked it free cleanly. As best I can see on that one, he did - chiefly because he's making a poking motion rather than the usual slap motion. Without even accounting for the fact that the amount of...- InstaFace

2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread
That's a valid perspective in my eyes. I think baseball - the writers and the fans - have gone too far into trying to quantify their way into awards being some sort of objective thing, that there's an equation and you just get your answer and move on. As much as I like right answers (perhaps not...- InstaFace

2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers
I actually bought that overturn. I understand people trying to stand on "clear and conclusive evidence" principle, but the ball was knocked free cleanly imo, and then the contact that happened during the loose ball was well within what's allowed for a loose ball play. But yes, they got the...- InstaFace

The Krafts
Part of management isn't just getting the right people in the door and empowering them, but also in having the skills to question their thought processes and make sure they're considering things the way you would hope they would. Jeff Bezos is known to grill his top people on big decisions, and...- InstaFace

Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)
I went here, and then applied the season filter for 2023-24, which is same as I usually do for LEBRON data. And yet I see minutes counts on that data that do look suspiciously low. Perhaps that has an old version of the dataset, and they haven't pushed the rest of the season to it yet? Are...- InstaFace

My exact words were "I wouldn't think it possible - or advisable, at any rate - to hire a coach who has never coached college or the pros." Most people would understand that phrasing to not be an assertion that it has never ever happened, but rather that I'd be surprised. And wouldn't ya know...- InstaFace

Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)
Yeah given the years they've put together, Rudy Gobert probably has more of an argument for another DPOY than Bam would to get his first. Bam has never even made all-defense first team. (fake edit: and lo, DARKO has Gobert first in D-DPM, followed by Nurkic, Draymond, Alex Len?!, Hartenstein...- InstaFace

2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers
Down 1 with 13 seconds left, I was so sure we were getting a Maxey buzzer beater for the win. What we got was just about the exact opposite of that. You'd think Jim O'Brien was coaching them - "eh I dunno boys, just go out and sling it". fake edit: oh wow, Jim O'Brien is actually a "senior...- InstaFace

"back row Joe" had credentials enough. Really anyone who's been an NBA assistant for a year has credentials enough, if he interviews well then god bless.

I'm sorry, what part of "Mazzulla having assistant roles for years plus a D2 college head coaching job, prior to getting an NBA HC offer" is equivalent to "Redick potentially offered an NBA head coaching job despite never previously receiving a coaching paycheck of any kind"? I'm not a huge...- InstaFace

2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers
On that fast break a few minutes ago, where Embiid got it in space in front of Hartenstein, went up, he led with his elbow, put the elbow right in Hartenstein's sternum... and got the foul while sinking it, and-1. That was like 80% offensive foul, 20% play-on... instead, it's the grifter at the...- InstaFace

Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)
edit: ok jokes aside, after Zaprudering that thing a bit, my read is: Martin was taking steps in order to set himself to jump high and contest the rebound with Tatum. But Jrue's shove meant his "gather step" to prep the jump happened like a foot closer to Tatum that he intended, and by the time...- InstaFace

I wouldn't think it possible - or advisable, at any rate - to hire a coach who has never coached college or the pros. The preparation required every day, the workload, the assembling of a staff - he's observed it as a player, but never done it. That's why you hire assistants - people who've at...- InstaFace
