we really got Spurs-Thunder in the WCF and it went 7. as hoops fans, from an objective standpoint, this was the dream, right? we had an absolute classic G1, and it's been a back-and-forth, ultra-physical chess match ever since. and here we are: Wemby and his squad vs. Shai and the defending champs on a Saturday night playing for everything. it really doesn't get any better.
shoutout to everyone who had a hand in taking the shine off this series, forcing the focus to what it's been the last week-plus. the big aggregator accounts. the engagement farmers. the twitter algorithm. so much of the national media. that gambling company. the guy who compiled that original viral video of Shai falling five times in one game. and of course Fall% Tom, for his groundbreaking work in bringing to life what will surely prove a revolutionary basketball metric.
congrats on the engagement, y'all!
in all seriousness, though, I rest assured in knowing the real ones have enjoyed this. and I sincerely hope everyone can enjoy the game tonight. these don't come around very often!
Como joga o Sporting de Rui Borges? 🎥
O estilo híbrido a atacar e defender, mistura de conceitos com foco nas interações entre jogadores e potenciando a qualidade ofensiva dos mesmos. Automatismos na saída, variações na estrutura e como criam espaço a partir dos movimentos.
With Flick refusing to shake hands with Simeone before the game (contrary to what he does when he’s winning), and Raphinha calling last night a robbery (despite usually portraying himself as respectful when winning), now is a good time to remind you what Don José Bordalás said one year ago about Flick and Laporta:
"I respect those who show respect. When you win 90% of matches, it’s easy to be a gentleman. When you stop winning, you must remain the same kind of gentleman. Hopefully we keep hearing those excuses."
🇮🇱🇨🇭 This Swiss commentator has balls of steel. While the Israeli bobsleigh team was racing, he kept reminding viewers of the war crimes the pilot has openly supported.
Absolute legend!
