@realLPBeria And to you that’s an ironclad defense of and argument in favor for polyamory?Elastigirl couldn’t stretch that far.

And if that’s the “single most embarrassing passage” in the history of all the Church fathers, they must have been doing an amazing job.

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@realLPBeria I don’t know how one can read a whole passage couched in all that hedging language and read it as a statement of belief.

This whole thing can be paraphrased “We all intuitively know infidelity is bad, but here’s one extreme scenario where it can at least feel a LITTLE gray”

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

Anything stand out about the top four lineups vs the bottom three

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

Great point, that team WAS great! … when Embiid was on the floor, or at least that specific lineup you mentioned.

How bout when he wasn’t?

[jaycee @jayceepxrez]

That fanbase swears he didn’t have help in his career 😂

😭😭

@SierraHotel28 @QuasLacrimas There are still some that truly seem to make no sense. In most AI v AI games I’ve seen, they often go through something I’ve seen called “the dance of the engines” where they shuffled around minor pieces for 20 moves, seemingly accomplishing nothing

@BrianFromGriddy @Griddy_FF I don’t even know what Griddy is, and I’m gonna not click on the handle now so I’m the truest bluest blank slate ever

@AAVARION Entitlement is crazy, yall had like 700 applications for 7 spots, what’d he expect? That cuz he tried hard he automatically got it? Surely no one else tried!

@LeoneStan1 @sugaford1 If a motorcycle ground to a stop by slamming on the brakes and having the rear wheel lift up or something, no one would call that an Akira slide, it pretty clearly is its own thing

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@LeoneStan1 @sugaford1 You’re telling on yourself here because if you had to define the image on the left with one qualifier it would be “two people punching each other at the same time, from the opposite arms” and the two on the right are clearly with the same arms (i.e. both using their right)

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@prettyboyhass @PlayoffBoundNYK It was much worse in the Toronto series specifically too

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@azuremurkrow @Statholesports That would’ve been my guess too, I was hoping the answer was still Wilt though ngl

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@den_shorts Not that that’s rational of course, I’m just saying it’ll happen. Already does with situations like Harden having CP3/Dwight, Embiid having Harden/Butler, Luka with Brunson/Porzingis. Weirdly retroactively applying people’s peaks as if they were always that

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@den_shorts Mentally prepare yourself now for the revisionist history when reviewing Jokic’s career, people are gonna say “he had an 8+ year prime with an All-NBA player next to him every year”

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@den_shorts Assists are an overrated stat =/= playmaking is an overrated skill.

Like steals are a (much) more overrated stat - Harden has lead the league in em and tho he aint as bad on D as he’s been made out to be, he sure ain’t #1 - but that doesn’t mean perimeter defense don’t matter

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@RossUglem Yet if any of you asked about any of these team’s particular strengths, people would probably not list CB in the first 3 position groups. Championship winning teams just tend to be pretty elite across the board

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@hawkblogger @BrettKollmann I’d think it’s the opposite on the first point. RBs come in and seem already close to their peaks usually, and if anything I think ILBs develop slower than any other position. You can plug a mid round RB as a starter in without too much issue but LBs take YEARS til they’re decent

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@JoestarJokic People def came for Sabonis for the same thing a few years ago

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@automaticnba @LegendOfWinning Like they both might end up in decent shot quality, but the first one was more a product of the pass whereas the second one is more the product of the player receiving it making some nice moves, like in the vid

[Luke Swiatek @LukeSwiatek]

@automaticnba @LegendOfWinning Would there be any way to find the time lag between the pass and the actual shot attempt? Or maybe dribbles taken? I feel like a nice drive and kick that ends in a fairly open shot with a decent close out, and a perimeter swing that ends with your teammate taking 3 dribbles r dif
