@EconomPic You're right on both counts. I coach rec and noticed the shooters/pitchers thing. The dribbling upright took me a while to figure out. They pound the shit out the ball bc and lack shiftiness while moving in straight lines like they're running bases.
@conorsen Pratt is MAGA for the OC/beach city wellness crowd and Bass/fire is getting crooked Hillary/email treatment. The sick part is I'm pretty sure his base is made up of elder millennials and Gen X on FB and ig receiving 2010s–2024 memes as AI campaign slop
@JonesOnTheNBA Yep. Only balling with their own age in structured environments has made them unfamiliar with it. We lost something anyone could jump into midgame.
@therealmattcox4@Jesse_Livermore Players out as thugs. Then shaq was clogging the lane, then Steph shot too many 3s, now all the players are soft. There's always been a version of the game they're holding and it's unattainable
@therealmattcox4@Jesse_Livermore I agree and don't think Jesse is tracking the series, following the adjustments, and just isn't eager to pay attention to what makes the playoffs a great product. Also there's a history of complaints about the NBA and he's whitewashing it. I remember the 90s when they called
@EconomPic They fit yr original conditions more than the Strokes: most underrated / best band, most people only know them for a handful of songs, but they have 20+ great songs across at least 3 albums. I think the Strokes are overlooked for the one hit wonder vibe, slightly different thing.
@conorsen As someone who was 13 then, I was in the first minute where it's got 2pac and looks like a blood sport/street fighter mashup. Much less certain after hearing 4 non blondes.
@EconomPic Wemby can't recover laterally, especially into screens or off reversals and the team can't hit 3s. They're still really good but not contenders.
