This is a great view. I agree with your point, but man, the gather and the step back are functionally the same at the same time. I don't think that's the kind of travel that's ruining the game. Given the amount of debate on this thread, and your great video (fyi great angle) it feels marginal enough.

I have ZERO idea how refs are supposed to look at the gather, check his feet, and monitor the defender at the same time, all while this happens in less than a second.

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@RThinner @nominalanemone1 @thomaschattwill I’d argue that’s not a jump but I def see your point. At least not in the way they mean a jump.

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@PatchesThaHyena @thomaschattwill I honestly don’t see it. But def a fair point. I don’t think the rises to the level of ruining the game like some of the shit that others get away with. Pivot foot sliding a little with contact from the defender feels like a pretty consistent rule .

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@sunmaster14 @Gam_987 @PatchesThaHyena @thomaschattwill What? You can leap off your non pivot foot so long as you shoot / pass before your pivot foot lands.

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

That’s a fair point. But it happens in .3 seconds and could be a step, or a jump.

My point is more, compared to the some ridiculous shit like Gianni’s getting 5 actual steps, this just feels impossible for refs to call because you have to split hairs between a step and a jump while watching the body, hands etc.

@OldTakesExposed freezing cold talked where you at

One quarter into the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson is affirming the concerns people have about small guards being able to win it all.

The closer you get. The more physical it gets. So far, Brunson’s body is betraying him.

let's go Knicks

I don't like shitposting online. I really don't. But as an angry New Jersey resident and father of 2, I gotta say, ya'll are absolute clowns. The trains are insanely unreliable. I've missed multiple bedtimes and multiple meetings because of your incessant delays. And now this? A courtesy bull? What are ya'll doing all day? Honestly, @NJTRANSIT and @GovSherrillNJ are eroding my faith in the government's ability to deliver critical services. And we're not asking for much, just that trains run on time so we can get to work and back to our families with some predictability.

About to start a go fund me…

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@oceanview_80 Can we please please start a movement or a revolution or something.

Just against NJT.

@moseskagan @IQfor3 noticed the same thing - my guess is he so tall that if he jumped and had a natural release point the basket would be a 18 inches below the release? Making the arc of the ball kind of awkward?

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@signulll Man he’s so good at doing the bad shit subtely. Carusos foul on castle also insanely dirty - clearly pulled him down by his shoulder

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@mattyglesias Some of my best friends grew up in stuy town. I spent a lot of time there. Honest question - what’s wrong with it? It should just be normal blocks?

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

@coach_rolle @Kielleo @KnicksNation That didn’t occur to me at all. That makes more sense. Though I do think sochan can backfill some Mitchel minutes.

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

twitter's algo needs to chill

[Alex Holman @AlexMultiFamily]

Spurs don't play a double big line-up, so I'm less worried about the match-up. Also, zero idea what to do about Wemby without Mitch. Also they have big guards, not big forwards. There's no one in their top 8 taller than 6'8" except wemby.

I'm mostly thinking about the Thunder iHart/Chet line-ups, where we could run our own double-big line-up of towns/Sochan.

Or if towns is resting and it's only one of the thunder bigs, I think Sochan can hold his own defensively.

@shikhr_ You’re assuming base 10
