Stephon Castle on suggestions that the Spurs are not floppers and if they are leaving gamesmanship on the table:
"I don't really know to answer that, because I sell calls too, I can't lie."
Just In: Conversations have started about @ShamsCharania’s future, and discussing whether the ESPN Senior NBA Insider’s best fit is staying on Giannis’ All-Star Celebrity team or elsewhere.
@EthicalHoopz Bros so spiteful he’s defending Andre robersons shooting percentages 😭😂you ever watch the guy shoot? 💀 taking a hard MAX of 4 butt naked wide open threes per game
Yeah legit statement from… Aaron Gordon… that guy with a lot of finesse moves, total stranger to contact. In last couple years (recency bias) it seems like I’m subjected to much more “blame the reffing” convos even up to NBA head coaches, pathetic attitudes man
It’s actually blowing my mind that OKC fans are making fun of Denver fans and players talking about refs bc they think we’re talking about free throws. Nuggets fans are talking about the difference of physicality allowed on both sides of the ball. Which means one team has to adjust to not foul out and the other team can continue doing whatever. Whether you agree or not who cares, but acting like Denver is talking about free throws just makes you sound stupid.
@Imani_Barbarin If a disaster is of the scale to where it becomes “just survival”, none of the pretentious shit we have ever said on this app matters. Framing it as “just survival”, I.E. the majority of what human history has consisted of, justifies every and all “evil” actions. My life v yours
Just watched a man drop 1 single twizzler bite on the airport floor, saw him reach down to pick it up thinking oh nice he doesn’t want to leave a mess, nope he pops it in his mouth
Not a big advanced stats guy but their usage rate also gives added context, wemby’s is 29.3, 4th highest ever for a rookie, and Chet’s is ~22, likely does equate to less forced creation for Chet and better shots/players to distribute to, but the idea that wemby is ignored is dumb
I'm tired of the lazy "but Chet plays with SGA takes"
But fine, here you go:
Chet without SGA: 64.3% TS ✅
Wemby without Sochan: 54.9% TS
Not close. It's not the teammates, Chet is just better
@jamesmc07776617@okcthunder Yup! seemed like Davis Bertans matched his overall season minutes this game. Why let ourselves go down 10 in waning 6 minutes of 4th then put starters in. Threw away a good 36 minutes, big wins are important for young team like this
Here’s influenza vax rates for anyone curious: spike in Covid years for young folks then a pretty marked decline as the quoted tweet mentions, concerning for herd immunity and older adults who are especially vulnerable and show less decline in vax rates.
Literally last night I got curious about continued Covid booster and non-Covid illness vaccination rates 3ish years later and took these screenshots from the CDC website. They stopped updating COVID vax data in May 2023 🤨🤔.
This is going to end up being the most easily preventable crisis in the history of American health policy
"experts" and politicians thought they could bully people into the Covid vaccine and ended up poisoning the incredibly hard-won cultural victories for childhood vaccines
That regular people can’t or aren��t smart enough to make their own medical decisions. Also just kinda dumb to me to expect Americans to get a booster every 6 months when getting them flu shots is already a struggle. Shit provide better strategic incentives b4 what went down.
