Someone could write an epic about the journey I've been on the last 90 minutes trying to buy AMC IMAX to The Odyssey. Life's a little too on the nose sometimes 🥲
@andy__mick@UsherNBA@KevinOConnor I’m more upset at the people posting the chart thinking it’s revealing some great truth. I’m a broken record on this, but the falling stuff is an *aesthetic* argument being confused as a basketball one. It’s completely valid but says nothing about flopping or deception etc
@andy__mick@UsherNBA@KevinOConnor It didn’t paint SGA in any light. It was hard work watching all those falls but didn’t actually add any useful data to the conversation because it lacked context, instead just gave know nothing commentators a nice little table to point to and say “see! SGA is the worst!”
@vihntage1@xavierjdesigns You’re making an aesthetic argument (“Falling is ugly to watch”) and confusing it with a basketball argument (“Falling indicates someone attempting to trick the refs into calling an unjust foul”). The aesthetic argument is perfectly valid; the basketball is not
@haiti4eva The difference is that clip of Game 6 between the Bulls and Jazz is held as legendary; the pinnacle of basketball experience. Zero people on planet earth would ever point to the 2020 bubble basketball as anything close to peak
@Wemby_Muse Love how people are finally appreciating what a stud Vassell has turned into on both sides of the floor. Anytime he shoots, I feel like it’s going in
@JonesOnTheNBA Only one turnover from Castle though (and just two from Wemby). I think it makes sense with both Fox + Harper limping around in between short bursts of production
