@Tim_NBA@KamBrothers Maybe an odd question but how do you know something as specific as his ability to explain difficult concepts to players?
Have you worked with him?
There is a crisis of confidence in the United States.
In order for people to feel invested, they must feel that they have a voice. They must be heard. Their votes must matter.
We're building that system.
There’s another term for ‘Techno Optimism’ if you look back through having that view at most points in history, on average:
‘Being Correct.’
There may not have been a single techno optimist in 1880 that could have dreamt up the tech and its effects on quality of life by even 1920. Tech causes massive improvements to our way of life with time… exponentially and consistently.
You can be a techno pessimist. Just remember: cynicism is not an intellectual position.
@Tim_NBA If I were the Lakers, I’d at least bring you and people like yourself in for an interview.
If nothing else it would be valuable perspective for gain.
Cryotherapy, cold tubs, hot tubs, red light therapy, hyperbaric chambers, and a lot of sleep — how 41-year-old LeBron James, the first player in NBA history to appear in 300 career playoff games, has stayed healthy for more than 20 years in the league 👑
📺 Starting 5: Season 1
Got a weird feeling we might win this next one.
Maybe the next one too?
Might end up being from an overcorrection with the refs. But that might be enough room to make it into a series.
The energy in the air is interesting.
And basketball is a very energetic game.
The Lakers are not losing to the Thunder because of officiating but the officiating has been so egregiously bad that it's the story. The highlight reel of bad calls, missed calls and foul-baiting is just a bad look for the league. Interested to see how Game 3 is called in L.A.
Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s.
April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.”
April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.”
April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!”
April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!”
April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.”
May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!”
May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”
So it took 9 seasons for an NBA coaching staff to figure out how to use Luke Kennard properly?
Amazing what happens when a coach elevates a guy to play to his strengths instead of just pigeon-holing him into what they “think” he is.
At least JJ did some homework…
