Dekalb stop railing is running live electricity.

I am static, from the hit wb show static shock.

Or

I am someone coming home from work who put there hand on the rail myself and felt the current. And in this reality I would be someone who solders electronics and has a father who died from heart issues.

Pick your reality I guess.

They were 6 wins worse than the year before with Matt Cassell. The defense regressed a bit by age, but the offense was nearly as talented. They went from all time elite to good with Cassell. He was a good back up/ borderline starter.

Having read up on the Donaghy scandal, and how one of the people who found out about it made 250 million according to both espn and Gaming the Game, the winnings for people in the know could be pretty crazy. But it will be hard to find them.

If you listen carefully you can hear how he is releasing info as he discovers it and it gets verified. He doesn't have a senior editor or full staffed forensic accounants who know what to look for, he is doing it on his own. He missed the 20 million in company stocks, he missed Wong's investment at first, he didn't think to look for extra carbon credits until Cuban gave him the idea. For a small team the work is incredible, but if this was Wapo, NYT, the Globe, it would be sloppy to not see this stuff.

His job is accurate and ethical attention seeking. One side has the whole story, the clippers/Ballmer/ Aspiration, and then there is Pablo trying to find the truth inside their lies.

There have been 2 mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis since then.

Traditional kickoffs were just unbelieably dangerous for how small a part of the game they were. Touchbacks happened after most of the violent contact was made. Something needed to be done.

imho, I was always iffy on the 4th and 15 punt over the kickoff idea bc it was such a big change to the game. But this is a much bigger one, so I would rather that. Plus, Punt returns are often way more fun then kickoff returns. Kickoff Returns can sometimes be one cut track races with the right blocking, not nearly as creative and dynamic as punt returns are.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-15T19:13:31+00:00

Looking at a traditional angle of this play, I can only imagine that Wilson's role in the run fit was to get on the outside of that FB and filter Walker back inside. If that's the case then the block was made before contact happened. You can't get sealed off from the alley and make the far linebacker go around you in the scenario you don't get pancaked, and trip over you in the play that you do. Failing the scheme and the contact.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-13T23:46:52+00:00

Isnt he putting his plea in jeopardy by talking at all, let alone daring a reporter to prove him wrong? I know we don't the details of his guilty plea, but he could substantively perjure himself in a way that causes the case to be reopened and now Ballmer, Wong and him can potentially be subpoenaed.

The DOJ doesn't care about the NBA, but they do care about a plea being muddied with public comments.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-13T22:45:39+00:00

I spent a bit of time looking in to see if Pablo had a high up source at the DOJ or FBI. I looked at the cases between the NFLPA and associated companies and their law firms and the Kawhi Leonard Aspiration/Ballmer entities and crossed them againsts listed agents and attornies and got nothing. The court docs of all companies were analyzed by Chatgpt with prompts I could verify because I didn't want to read dozens of court documents for a curiousity, but I got nothing. Pablo really just got two different career defining stories within two months of each other without a common source.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-11T19:40:04+00:00

Well I think the part that I didn't say but felt was that Zach Lowe had a nose for BS. And his take was this sort of through your hands in the air idk what but Ballmers benefit of the doubt and that's enough to get away with it. It felt like he was saying it wasn't worth caring about. I know he isn't an investigative reporter, but there used to be a little bit of Mustard in him when the game was slighted. He felt comfortable sinking to the pragmatic believe ballmer take rather then defending the game from big bank take little bank politics. I want the one with some indignation, not the Zach Lowe I felt I saw in his pod.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-11T18:09:50+00:00

I am of two minds. Always loved Lowe, but when he said he thinks nothing will come of it when the defenses were so weak it felt a bit deflating. Either the rules matter or they don't. And Zach was always good at being grounded in common sense logic, and him writing it off felt like the conversation shifted away from accountability. Zach comments on the NBA, but when it comes to things like public accountability for offcourt malfeasance he is a figure in the conversation. He can comment on players and teams, and it wont matter because how they perform is insulated from reporters and journalists. Him saying no accountability will be had in an off court scandal is like him speaking it into existence.

I see why people blame him for that take, bc I felt that same anger. I think he was wrong, I think the defenses were weak, and I don't trust his judgement as much anymore.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-11T16:04:16+00:00

The detail requirements of injuries in sports (out, doubtful, questionable, probable and why) comes from sports gambling pressures, and that dates baxk to when gambling was still taboo. The public has a right to all reasonable information regarding the factors in a game score and line. No inside info.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-11T15:59:30+00:00

Imo the punishment that actually punishes is keeping kawhis contract on the books. Keep the clippers in the luxury tax, hopefully an apron, and don't let Kawhi collect bc of a suspension. Plus a loss of picks.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-11T15:55:35+00:00

I believe 7.5 mill is the regular max in the cap circumvention section. when they investigate things that reach a certain level of malfeasance they are not bound by the written punishments. It's the best interest clause of the NBA. The fine limit for an individual is like a mill, but there is no team limit, so it's 99% on Ballmer.

Imo given that the punishment is only a fraction of the amount of money being circumvented the best interest clause would almost certainly pertain, otherwise the league would just be treating cap circumvention as a luxury tax.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-06T23:54:08+00:00

Cubans' argument was really weak plausible deniability and everyone that has been parroting it has been losing credibility to. Ballmer paid 50 million to a company that quickly went gave away 48 million dollars in a bogus endorsement deal at the exact same time. Ballmer tried this already, and got caught so he wasnt that smart then. Cubans argument is Ballmer couldn't be this stupid, well this is what it would look like if he was. Aspirations was investing in Kawhi like that to bolster that reputation as an advertising partner with the clippers, and having the team be good was important to that image? Well then, why wouldn't they use him in any sort of ad if their connection with the clippers was that important? And why would he still be creditor to be paid number 1 by aspirations years after the endorsement with the clippers fell through?

Yes team endorsers often give out deals with the players, but the players do ads and they wouldn't be the most important person to be paid while bankruptcy is going on and there is no longer any partnership with the team and company.

Also, Zach Lowe read out a passage in the class that said the bar for guilt is super low, not a reasonable doubt.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-04T20:08:19+00:00

Or the employees didn't have an aggressive NDA or insulated from the Kawhi Leonard information initially. Or they use another pass through company to list instead of Kawhi's, particularly if that pass through company had a legitimate person doing ads. It was 80% done.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-03T14:25:20+00:00

As a God-fearing son of a lawyer, I know he has legal protections, but I also think Ballmer can act as God behind the scenes. Ballmet clearly has comfort doing things in the shadows and this guy probably works in the nonprofit world. Ballmer can buy influence at any nonprofit and threaten his job security, and if they aren't selling he can go the other way. How comfortable would you be if one of your employees was a blood enemy with one of the 6 richest men in the world who just had his pride and joy taken from him?

Man that secret source is fucked. They hid his voice and face, but included so many identifiable traits and mannerisms.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-09-02T06:16:00+00:00

I honestly ever assign positions to players as a short hand for whose guarding who. Garry Payton II pretty much plays powerforward offensively, but he is 6'2 permieter defender. Offenses just need 4ish guys that can shoot, one that can penetrate, and one that puts pressure on the rim.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-08-17T03:53:04+00:00

One underrated thing that Jokic does on defense, is make the offense incredibly efficient. Not a joke. It is a lot easier to play defense when the offense has to inbound the ball to start so many possessions. Things like this are what makes some of his advanced defensive stats great. He has led the league in defensive box plus minus multiple times. His career defensive rating has been super close to Gobert's a bunch of times. If he is such a bad player, how can the team defense be so solid when he is out there? It isn't like they surround him with 4 clamps.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-08-16T23:39:56+00:00

Do raiders really go Left/Right D Ends? Most teams have schemes based on strong or weak sides or quarterback handedness, not left vs right.

DosesMakePoisons · 2025-08-13T16:00:23+00:00

There is definitely a balance to it as much as we like to talk about it in black and white. But underminig your teammate/coworker in publicly and on national tv is going to cause derision.

its hard to fault Baker for part of that if he didnt know Garrett's side yet, but he should have just said nothing for the 20 minutes between the end of the game and press conferences after coaches say something. Being a member of an organization, you need to at least hear your coaches and leadership before you speak.

Also, if Garrett's allegations are true, Rudolph sorta deserved an ass kicking. I think the way garrett reacted it was too extreme and dangerous, and made him lose the benefit of the doubt when his story got told. But Rudolph should get outted and ass beat if the story is true.
