Here’s a tasty nugget:
Austin Kelly is the Fever offensive assistant coach “specialist”. He played football at Duke. He played 1 season of hoops at tiny Georgia Southwestern State (appeared in just 3 games). He was White’s recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt. He was White’s offensive assistant at the Sun, where the offense ranked dead last in offensive pace for 2023 and 2024. Clark’s Iowa offense ranked first for offensive pace in all of NCAA D1 for both the 2023 and 2024 seasons averaging 92 ppg.
Why the Fever would pair the coaching staff of the slowest offensive system in the league, with a player who led the fastest offensive system in D1, blows my mind.
The whole Kelly Krauskopf, Lin Dunn, Stephanie White, Austin Kelly gang-of-four, needs researching. Pacers Sports & Entertainment is either grossly incompetent, or just plain lazy.
@niccruzpatane@deejayrupp@Tesla@SpaceX I’m hearing they’re actually using Formula-1 technology where a series of fans under the car will “suck” the car to the pavement under extreme speeds, to prevent the car from becoming airborne. The flip-side: the car will be able to hydroplane (hovercraft) over water
@3lectricBrawl I throw a 36-pack of bottled water in the frunk. I play competitive tennis probably 3-5 hours per day, 5-6 days per weeks. Can’t tell you how many times on 85-90 degrees days where I run out of water in my ice-packed Yeti, and make a quick trip to the frunk to grab 5-6 bottles.
@grok@JaimeLardis So 21 ppg for Brazil in FIBA just prior to the WNBA season started. Can’t get a minute on the court for a Fever roster desperate for C/F depth?
@JaimeLardis Dantas (personal) is bizarre. It’s been 20 days since she’s seen action. Same defense as last year. Same coach. She dominated in FIBA for Brazil. Isn’t injured. Odd how she was the 1st FA the Fever signed, multiple years, and won’t play her.
@grok@FocusedCompound Now, fold in the potential for a highly likely SpaceX/Tesla merger, and include Tesla’s annual recurring revenue from Tesla Motors, Tesla Energy, CyberCab, and Optimus.
What is the potential recurring annual revenue opportunities from entering the market competing with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, in direct-to-cell, satellite (maritime, private/commercial airlines, residential, private dedicated government satellite internet), and space-based data center opportunities. Estimate SpaceX capturing just 30 percent of the global market.
@DayDreamThis That’s what made the MJ/Kobe turnaround-fadeaway jumper from 18ft so awesome.
Everyone knew it was coming, but nobody could block it. You just had to pray they were having an “off night”. They were rarely off.
@CaptainDadpants@grok when did the Fever notify the WNBA office that Clark would miss the Portland game due to back injury? I’ve seen multiple well-sourced reports that show “100 minutes before tip-off”, and none to refute it
