@jimchrys14 Είναι το Ρόκυ 7 ρε συ: Τέσσερις past their prime Αμερικανοί πατριώτες εναντίον του υπεράνθρωπου, παραγμένου σε εργαστήριο, Γάλλου κομμουνιστή που έρχεται να αμφισβητήσει το ποιος είναι το πρόσωπο της λίγκας.

think hawks fans will probably want to read this from kingston flemings

[rae 🫠 @RaeWitte]

I can’t believe his whole brand is emotional intelligence and grounding and he acts like a bitch constantly. He’s the performative male final boss.

[Brad Rowland @BTRowland]

the hawks have back-to-back MIP winners and an All-NBA player drafted at 20th who barely played for almost two years

and every single day, without fail, somebody tells me this coaching staff “can’t develop players”

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

this Atlanta Dream team might be my favorite roster construction ever, they’ve built the 26 Hornets if they forced TOs at the highest rate in the league

such beautiful synergy between Gray/Rhyne shot versatility + Angel glass control + Canada/Rhyne defensive playmaking

La miff je sais pas comment vous expliquer la dinguerie que c’etait hier soir.

[Shot Clock @Sh_Cl_Pod]

Ο Evan Fournier ειχε δηλώσει ότι επέστρεψε στην Ευρώπη για να κατακτήσει την Ευρωλίγκα και να τοποθετήσει τον εαυτό του στο πάνθεον του Ευρωπαϊκού μπάσκετ για τα καλά μετά από μια σπουδαία καριέρα στο ΝΒΑ και στο FIBA επίπεδο.

Πέρσι έβαλε 32 και η ομάδα του όμως δεν ακολούθησε.

Τελικά, ο Γάλλος σούπερ σταρ στη 2η σεζόν του, στέλνει τον ΟΣΦΠ στην γη της επαγγελίας με 20/5/4 στον τελικό της Ευρωλίγκας.

Ο Ολυμπιακός πρωταθλητής Ευρώπης!

Mohamed Salah is lambasted for not speaking enough, then when he does, is slammed for not doing it at the time and in the manner his critics demand.

He is not a performing monkey. He has given absolutely everything he could to the game - and for just shy of a decade, to Liverpool.

Why is his love for the club always questioned? Why can’t he speak as a fan of Liverpool, which he is?

Salah FC or Misperception FC?

[Anfield Fix @AnfieIdFix]

He didn't mention Slot once in his post. A few days ago Slot directly accused him of only having high standards in the gym and the media haven't scrutinised it once, even as he's on his way out. Fuck off

[Chris Williams @Chris78Williams]

Salah isn’t airing Liverpool’s dirty laundry in public, there was an unwashed load pegged out on the line at Villa Park last night. Players are entitled to speak, especially when they’ve won as much as he has.

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.

Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

If I can raise my hand...(potentially long* post)

I think you're seeing Angel spaced more not because they want her taking 5 3s a game, but because:

1) they want driving/rolling lanes clear initially and, more importantly...

2) they want her connecting possessions as a secondary option within their flow, especially with bri jones out

Angel's DHO usage (10.6 per 100 --> 6.8) is down from last year, but her use as a screener in PnR (26.4 per 100 --> 35.6) has skyrocketed early.

Combine the two and you'll see it's an overall uptick: (37 DHO/PnR per 100 --> 42.4 DHO/PnR per 100)

It allows them to keep her involved, potentially pull bigs out of the paint -- especially when she's flowing into actions w shooting threats like Rhyne/Allisha/Te-Hina -- and to your cutting point, her rolls out of those PnRs or DHOs either get her shots at the rim, or it puts her around the dunker spot area by default.

It's why, even with her spacing more to start, she still has [checks notes] 17 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS through her first two games.

[v8der @v8der1]

So you’re telling me Booz has the same max vert as Flagg, fastest lane drill of the four, biggest frame of the four, and best 3point shooting results of the four, but he’s not gonna translate? Lmfao.

“THE HAWKS MADE A CLEARLY POSITIVE VALUE TRADE LMAOOOO”

i guess that doesn’t sound as cool

[Tom Little @TomL1ttle_]

It’s took Gakpo 41 minutes to have a touch of the football.

FOURTY. ONE. MINUTES

System and style is so broken and shit, and I’m sorry, that’s on the manager
