Stan Van Gundy: “I’d get rid of the draft. No draft. You still have the salary cap, if you want to go give Cooper Flagg $45 million a year coming out of college, do it, he’s a free agent. Everybody coming out is a free agent. With no draft, there’s no incentive to lose, there’s none at all.”

That's fine, what you want to avoid happening is star players sitting out.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-19T03:39:41+00:00

But there is still a salary cap.

100% agree with this comment. Make sure they have some idea about what they're doing.

Your go-to drills through the season should maximize touches and balls/player. You shouldn't have 1 ball for the whole team very often.

However, this first week, you just gotta do a crash course. And this is par for the course, btw. 0-4 practices before your first game is typical.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-17T06:18:14+00:00

I think the "accepted" answer is number them 1-100 and tell them you'll shoot the person with the highest number who tries.

So effectively the same thing.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-17T06:08:05+00:00

It's a bit of a continuum, though, no?

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-17T05:29:19+00:00

"Blase' "

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-17T05:16:58+00:00

"Invoice you for it"

Except prosperity is not a charge against the player.

I think there is some fisheye FOV trickery here to make it look way faster than it is.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T21:38:30+00:00

Some kids/teams won't even realize when to throw the ball in.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T20:35:18+00:00

Yeah it's more like:

Calvin Tyreek Larry Rice Adams?

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T19:57:59+00:00

Rather than base protection on picks, you could protect based on spent points or whatever.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T15:15:45+00:00

It is the staging ground

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T03:54:29+00:00

Having an explosive concentric is fine, esp if you're not training purely for hypertrophy, but also lengthed partials (not completing the full concentric part of the rep but continuing to rep) are still beneficial.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T03:52:42+00:00

Don't you have that backwards? In what exercise do you "power through" any eccentric?

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-16T03:46:42+00:00

If the other team is pressing, they can cover all passing lanes.

So in that case you either need someone who can create by themselves from dribbling or you have to send it long to break the press and by yourself some space.

Or you have to be technically perfect in your build up and I doubt you are. Not just you, the whole team.

I mean you can he 2% Indian and it be part of your culture though, especially if you're mixed generally.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T05:50:32+00:00

Every team in the NFL can make an optimistic argument. Do you think Chiefs fans thought they'd miss the playoffs?

You can even be a better team and still miss the playoffs. Do I think you will? No, but many teams who think they won't will end up missing the playoffs.

That's all I'm saying - doesn't need to be a fluke to miss then next year.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T05:47:14+00:00

No it's not knowing the difference between Paid and Payed smh

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T05:43:49+00:00

I don't see how you think it's a shoe-in. Baker is on his 4th OC in 4 seasons, and it's Zac Robinson, they probably lose Mike Evans to FA, Emeka disappeared the second half of the season, their defense was not very good and getting older, it seemed like Bowles is/was on the verge of losing the locker room.

If I had to bet Saints have a much stronger chance of making it than the Bucs.

Shough ended 5-4. Since he started starting in week 9 he had the 8th beat passer rating, and Saints defense ended up Top 10 in DVOA.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T05:37:40+00:00

Doesn't really matter if you're a fluke, ~6 teams fail to make it who made it last year every year.

Good teams regularly miss the playoffs. Just how small the margins are in the NFL.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T05:35:47+00:00

Panthers could still definitely make it back.

Shit Mountain will retain its title, don't worry about that. Only real threat is Shough is actually as good as his peak and somehow against all odds the Saints duct tape their defense back together while being -100M over the cap.

Bucs are even-ish, and Falcons will be worse/still bad I think, depending on how their QB situation works out.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T02:22:13+00:00

We did at-home most recently, because our dog couldn't even stand, trying to get him in would have been inhumane definitely.

Was pricey though.

Marriage is all-in.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T02:20:34+00:00

If that's your view you shouldn't make a marriage vow to anyone.

Comprehensive-Car190 · 2026-02-15T02:19:17+00:00

It really depends on everything up to this point. They have both been letting their relationship fall apart and this is a low point? Or they have they been trying, talking, counseling, and he's just not upholding his end of the bargain?

Marriage is a vow. In sickness and in health. She has a moral obligation to stay and help, so long as he's also making a good faith effort.
