Sports tech, Clippers fan since the 90s (actually), baseball enthusiast...thoughts my own

@darrenrovell It has all the mechanics of a slot machine: chasing a major jackpot, instant win back of funds (sell back), and the last two sentences you described on dopamine…except there is no oversight, no RTP requirement, massive ranges of value per “spin”, w/ much easier funding options.

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@FlyByKnite For sure. Also definitely not apples to apples to compare a 19yo to a 24 yo. Safe to say I think we should all just brace ourselves for the actual true “full rebuild” games late this year 😂

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@FlyByKnite He fouled out that game and was averaging 32 min before tonight. I 100% agree on the ebb & flow and developing a 19 yo…my point moreso is that we’re not yet watching full rebuild - this is identity crisis. Not a knock on you, nothing but respect for your coverage over the years.

@PabloTorre @paulscheer “So numb to the knives”. A great watch/listen from both sides and thanks @paulscheer for encapsulating what being part of the dysfunctional family that is Clipper Nation is all about. We’ll proudly keep showing up for holiday get togethers, but man is it getting exhausting 🤣

@BaileyCarlin Not an AI doomer by any means, but like this technology of real footage has been around for the last decade 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/PnlJtRwu6c

@RikDaddy @cameronDwinfrey Probably because it was more personal. Now priority + perks given to filling The Wall, who can set off the loudest decibel reader, and feels like the last 20-30 yrs of Clippers basketball have been erased instead of embraced - in which memories + nostalgia are key parts of fandom

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@WorldWideWob Incredible season to have 50 wins when no one projected them to make the playoffs. Intuit Dome is now the gold standard arena in the NBA and the fanbase/owner continued to prove itself. Bad Game 7 sure, but it really shouldn’t feel bad to be a Clippers fan right now.

@benrgallant Not sure what is crazier - the fact that post exists or that you were able to pull it within 15 minutes…

What’s next in the viewing? Little Big League, Little Giants, Big Green, Cool Runnings?

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@RobertStock6 This the owner?

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@benrgallant Camelback for water (if you’re someone that needs it like me to run long distance) instead of trying to grab and drink a cup and if music helps give you some adrenaline, don’t just go shuffle but make a playlist backloaded with some of your faves to help final push. Good luck 🏃

@Gmona48 @terance_mann My younger brother was out at a dinner without ability to check his phone. The group text with my brothers that night will never be forgotten.

@RobertStock6 I’d swap sub-8hr Ironman for 40-yd dash. That covers the fact you likely have decent speed, but are also top physical athlete to complete an Ironman in that time.

Exhibit 10,073 of what's wrong with modern ticketing. Primary tickets listed at $120 on Ticketmaster (meaning haven't been sold) also listed on secondary starting at $190...so many ways for consumers to get taken advantage of these days

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@BY272727 @Ticket_Help2022 Look at all those sold tickets now available for resale purchase!

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@benrgallant Yeah, but is there a Hot Topic?

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@HPbasketball Second @LucasJHann on the Ramona piece. PG should go down as one of the best Clippers to-date in franchise history, but there’s a reason there is such a gap between fans who watched every game and aren’t too disappointed and others claiming Clippers now unattractive destination.

[Sam Yarin @SamYarin]

@AndrewGreif The day it came to fruition. That’s partially because it was the morning of my wedding day, so at least I’ll always have the exact date remembered and my wife will always remember waking up to me yelling at 5:30am EST because of 213.
