@71Elvis77 But can’t we just get new candidates all together? These can’t be the options. They just can’t!

@Dmac616 @Hondro0420 @MikMcDaniel Nah. Goalie touch doesn’t negate if you were offside when your team hit the ball forward. So here the player needed to be onside when the header was made to legally score.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@MIner_front_row @jakevieth2 @DeerMuse @MikMcDaniel Is this sarcasm or real? In case it’s real, the offside on this play isn’t only determined the moment the ball is kicked. It also has to be determined at the moment when the header was made on goal. Or any time an offensive player plays the ball forward in the other team’s half.

@arianathepoet I love your glasses!

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@MSNCMan77 @roryrune @cjzero I'm with you. Yes, the ball was dead, but this was minor. People blowing it out of proportion because of who was on the receiving end. Jayson Tatum bumped Lebron harder than this after he dunked on him, and no call was made at all. Just a way to say, "I'm here! I can ball too."

@JasonReynolds83 So many good matchups.

@HI_KLASS @Ballislife It has nothing to do with being soft or hard. It’s just whether it meets the criteria for a flagrant. If it were up to many of us we’d still have the 80s and 90s rules, but we don’t so they either have to change the rules or enforce the current rules.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@WavyCeeze @Ballislife I don’t think it was vicious or painful. It just meets the flagrant violation. I never thought the NBA should have suspended Draymond. He doesn’t have a problem. He just plays hard basketball and some hard hitting moments happen. Give him his flagrant fouls and keep it moving.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@thejeffgomez71 @ThompsonScribe I’m glad someone finally did the math. In most cases he’s either shooting wide open threes of screens or step back threes or jumpers with space. Hard to get a foul when nobody is near you.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@CayleHunter @ThompsonScribe Why are people surprised that Curry isn’t going to the line? He’s shooting threes and jump shots.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@playbyplaybark This angle is even worse.

This game was the BEST!

Anthony Davis must have the biggest eyes of any NBA player with how often he’s getting poked in the eye.

I was really excited to be attending the national book awards this year with a friend, but I got COVID and will have to stay home. Super bummed, but I guess the anticipation will build till next year.

@Agnes4050780089 @StoryLuck Same exact thought 😫

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

75% of the comments I see on social media reflect the worst of our humanity.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@StoryLuck The worst thing is they capture my attention so powerfully even though it’s clearly not what’s good for me. Awhile back I retrained the algorithm to feed me inspiration and motivation, but somehow I’m back in the trash bin.

[Devan Sandiford @DevanSandiford]

@StoryLuck I should probably come on Twitter more. I was thinking more Instagram and TikTok discovery pages… people you don’t follow but are getting tons of engagement, which is filled with just hate, ignorance, pettiness, jealousy, spite, insecurity, and all that.
