Favorite Ka lines a thread 🧵
Whenever I listen to Brownsville Ka I think about this writing teacher I had who used to constantly hit me in the head with “Economy of words” theory. When I became a writing teacher myself the hardest shit to teach was how to revise “down”.
@T0THEFL0WERS@KathiMorganc FCUK Wyc! That greedy bastard is the reason we are here. He screwed Pags, the man who said “Luxury Taxes be damed” Chisholm & his Sixth Street PE daddies mandated get under it. Without that mandate then it’s not seen as a bad contract…just a contract for an MVP candidate.
@BHibburd@NoaDalzell I’m going to assume there is a language barrier..well I’m hoping it’s a language barrier because of not then you are just dumb. Was TATUM on the trade block? Was TATUM being dragged in the media? So why the FCUK would Brown “say something” about Tatum??? You slow bro?
@T0THEFL0WERS@KathiMorganc I’d say a historically easy playoff path had more to do with it than the 3 point philosophy, and every other attempt before and after bore that out. And cutting cost, doing so based on +/- and other flawed data is quite literally the cross section of PE and analytics.
@dirtywaterdevil@T0THEFL0WERS “nEgAtIvE vAlUe pEr dOlLaR 🥴” Let me guess, you agreed with Kenny Atkinson’s “analytically we won the series” 😂. Watch ball, not spreadsheets…effing dorks
@T0THEFL0WERS@KathiMorganc Private equity AND advanced analytic dorks..different side of the same cancerous coin. Ruined our play style , ruined the Red Sox. Fuckin sucks.
@Cerrone_Battle@MichaelVPina As an aside, the glazing/obsession over finals MVP needs to be studied. I feel like Iggy getting it/ Steph wanting it, was the genesis of over inflating its importance.
@LebronToCeltics@Jumpshot8 Who’d they play? Any load management from the other teams? Also, re the supporting cast, how many of their stats came at the end of games that were already decided? How many of them were responsible for guarding the other teams best player? Watch Hoops, Not Spreadsheets. Dork.
