Complete the lyric, Reggie!

The current state of NBA Twitter is yet another example of the Internet being a massive mistake. Holy moly.

"Polston donated $13,900 to Stitt's two campaigns for governor, contribution reports show. Her husband, attorney Rod Polston, also donated $13,900 to Stitt's campaigns."

In a Dec. 8 jail call, Polston's husband said "Kevin" was going to give him an update, according to the report. Polston later that day said "we only have "A Friend' for a year left." Her husband said that "'Our Buddy' is going to do everything he can." https://t.co/RTf4BOakPz

If every foul was truly called, Dillon Brooks, Draymond Green, Desmond Bane, Jaylen Brown, Lu Dort & Alex Caruso would foul out by halftime every game.

You know what's truly unwatchable? A 2-hour game that becomes 3 hours because play stops every 30 seconds for a foul call.

Thoughts on officiating:

- Fans always feel their team gets screwed, but universally, everyone watching OKC feels like something is off in how they're officiated. That matters. It just does. OKC Fans will claim jealousy or hate because the alternative is untenable for them. But there is a genuine feeling among all fans that the disparity in SGA's whistle to their defensive whistle is incongruous

- The next step is the "So you think the league is rigging for a small market team?" and I understand the consequential thinking, but I think it's healthier to just focus on the problem. I think there's no grand conspiracy but there IS an incongruity in officiating.

- Last year, we had an awesome first round, in which the players were openly pleading to be less physical because they felt it was dangerous. So now we've gotten a regular-season whistle. And it sucks. As fans, we hate it. I don't know what that balance should be because it's not my body on the line, but it sure feels like there's a way to have a physical contact sport set of officiating perameters that also deters dangerous play

- Finch was campaigning to try and politic a win, but he also wasn't wrong when before Game 2 he made the point that the call should be based on what happens at point of contact and not what happens afterward (flop/flail/fall). The contact is what needs to matter and not the sell job after it.

- Shai is genuinely difficult to officiate because he IS incredible at driving and controlling where he goes to challenge direct path defense. It's a genuine skill he has.

- He also sells because otherwise he doesn't get the call. This is maybe the biggest problem of all: if you legitimately create the contact but don't performatively exagerate it, you will not be rewarded. That's a problem.

- We always find something to say is a problem with the NBA, and more so in the playoffs when it's in the spotlight. But this is a genuijne issue for watchability. Fans don't want this. The league needs to listen.

The NBA has called these fouls since Harden started his up-and-under drives ~16 years ago. If the defender is overly agressive, the offensive player should always take advantage of their lack of discipline.

[Ryan LaCroix @KOSUryan]

I’ll say it again: Attend one Final Four and you’ll realize:

1) The good seats ain’t for us.
2) You’ll never go again.

That’s a foul ref

- Water, food and supplies have to be shipped in. And since you can no longer dump sewage into the bay like they did 60+ years ago, there's another thing you have to regularly transport off the island.

It's not even a remotely good or feasible idea.

The Trump administration is asking Congress for $152 million to begin rebuilding Alcatraz as a "state-of-the-art secure prison facility."

[Ryan LaCroix @KOSUryan]

-saltwater continues to corrode the structures on the island, making it expensive to just maintain

- it's expensive to keep it working as a tourist site (net loss). Add to it a max of (only) 300+ prisoners, the cost rises exponentially.

“dark NBA times”

[Ryan LaCroix @KOSUryan]

Saying the NBA is in “dark times” is wild.

[The Athletic NBA @TheAthleticNBA]

Victor Wembanyama is doing more than chasing MVP. He is changing the energy around the NBA.

If you somehow haven’t noticed by now, the 22-year-old who has been such a bright spot in these dark NBA times is relentlessly and refreshingly competitive.

[Ryan LaCroix @KOSUryan]

Wemby’s great and an incredible, unique problem for everyone else. He doesn’t have to be propped up against “dark NBA times.”

Also, I hate him.
