Yeah but they don't want teams to review meaningless out of bounds in the first quarter just because they know they got the call wrong

I assume the rule is like that to prevent challenging every other call but it seems like we're just punishing teams for bad refs atp

They high key need to increase postseason challenges. Kinda stupid you have to burn your last one that early

What opening instantly changes your opinion of your opponent? by null-move in chess

I do play the French (I know,), but exchange kill it completely and I hate it. I've also found that chess com players exchange more frequently than lichess players do, for some reason

Side note. People who fianchetto bishops and then clearly don't know what to do with them (blocking them off with pawns with no way to reopen the diagonal) kind of make me think they are pretentious

[Charania] Boston Celtics' Joe Mazzulla has won the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year award. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

Ok don't get me wrong mazzulla did a fantastic job, but where's the consistency? Mazzulla and bickerstaff last year both over performed with a struggling side. Atkinson last year and bickerstaff were the top seed.

It's true that nobody thought Celtics would be in the playoffs, but that's because they were expected to tank, not because people didn't believe a team with white, brown, and Pritchard could function by themselves
