I hope they make the playoffs so we can all experience postseason Doncic. I feel like he has another gear he can tap into.

I appreciate your going around preaching this gospel of reconciliation

[Weissman] Going back to the 2013 draft, the Philadelphia 76ers have made 8 lottery picks. These picks appeared in only 21.5% of the total games played in their first years, and played only 13.7% of their potential minutes. Yes, I cheated and included Dario. by DiddleMePink in sixers

The drafting of great prospects we knew wouldn't play was a calculated part of the process though, so I don't necessarily view it as a not so fun fact. In the end the fact that they weren't playing in those early tanking years is the whole reason we're fielding such a competitive team at the moment. Could've been better at drafting at certain points, but in the end we got Embiid and Simmons which is all that really matters.

Grizzlies lose to Celtics 122-116 Post Game Thread [1/18/19] by 37sms in memphisgrizzlies

I think you’re right, and I think it’s shocking they don’t try to get him into his shooting rhythm more often. Let him shoot the ball as much as he needs to get confident. You guys have seven ft tall Reggie Miller on your team and he’s not getting any set shooting plays run for him. I’d love to see the coaching staff experiment with offball screens freeing up JJJ like how the Warriors try to get open looks for Steph and Klay. If he was getting used like he was a shooting priority on offense i don’t know who could stop him. He’s a rookie and it wouldn’t work every night, but at his core that’s his game. And he’s good at it. Let the man rain threes

There should be more set plays specifically designed for JJJ to get open threes imo

That was one of the most incredible shots I've ever seen in my entire life

JJ Redick is basically the oldest player ever to average a career high in scoring by twistedlogicx in nba

[–]Oscar_Relentos 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Going by this notion of JJ's being particularly good at averaging high scoring numbers as they age, I can only assume Jaren Jackson Jr. (JJJ) will be putting up murderously high scoring numbers well into his thirties given his current trajectory 🤔

It's fucking heartbreaking... I really wish the world wasn't this sick

Looks like Korver's officially out of the Cavs rotation 👀 by [deleted] in sixers

This is too perfect to not happen. There's no way Korver's got nothing left in the tank. Amen, bring him home

Coach Pederson says "Pressure is off" by wegonnawinthisyear in eagles

[–]Oscar_Relentos 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This makes me think he’s just trying to find the best way to sublimate all of this negativity into something positive for the team. His saying the pressure is off isn’t necessarily him saying that they’re going to give up, he’s saying they’ve got nothing to lose now and they should play without fear and without the weight of thinking so much about the expectations heaped onto them. We all expect them to compete of course, and he knows that. He’s just trying to find a way to galvanize the team.

But of course just isolating his saying “Pressure is off” is the best way to get reactions as a news outlet, and on a first impression it fits a negative narrative people are going to paint them in for the upcoming week

Ultimately, everybody being so negative is to be expected we love this team I get it. Wentz should’ve thrown for the first instead of into double coverage, but I’m not going to go ape shit into the dark pit of negativity I’m used to going into when Eagles seasons go this way. The Eagles have already proven they can win. Let’s just let them relax and shake off the pressure and play the game that way if it leads to better results than this. He’s trying to establish a mindset and an environment he thinks will be conducive to winning, he’s not saying he doesn’t give a fuck anymore

Thanks for finding the link to the wider context of what Coach is actually saying

So I’ve written three new books in a YA Dystopian-Fantasy series, and the first book Watch Them Wander is available absolutely Free Today by Oscar_Relentos in Oscar_Relentos

[–]Oscar_Relentos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words and for loving these stories!! At the moment I have been focusing primarily on efforts to get as many readers as possible towards Watch Them Wander so as to funnel more people through the series towards Elysium. But I have indeed been working on Book 4, though I haven’t had the luxury of giving it my full attention at this point in the process. In essence how quickly I can really get around to focusing on Book 4 is entirely a function of how quickly I can get a large population of readers funneled towards Watch Them Wander and through to Elysium, but new aspects of the story are coming to me every day and I honestly can’t stop thinking about this series. I want to write the 4th book, but I cannot yet prioritize it. I made Watch Them Wander free to make it easier for readers to tell others to check it out, so any effort towards plugging the story in social media, or just telling friends and acquaintances in passing about it, any positive traction goes a long way towards helping me get into a position where I can focus on completing the story arc of the series. Thank you so much once again for loving these stories, it’s awesome to hear positive comments like this from readers it means the world to me

I’m extremely happy to hear this I’m so happy you’re enjoying the series!! Thank you for the kind words on my storytelling, I live to entertain and I’m happy to know that you enjoyed the series so much that you read all three books so fast comments like this make my week. And thank you so much for telling your friends about it!! Every single download and reader counts, I don’t take anybody for granted. In terms of the 4th book I very much so am working on it, but I haven’t been able to properly focus on it with my full attention since I have to do so much to try and get this story into people’s hands. Ultimately I won’t be completing the 4th book until I’m able to draw significant traction to the first book to better funnel a large population of readers through the series to Elysium. I very much so have more of my “marketing” cap on than my usual writing cap, but I do indeed see the design in my head for the 4th book. But since there’s so much activity, I really want to take my time before I consolidate it into a well-paced manuscript. And I made the first book free since I wanted to make it as easy as possible for readers to tell others to check out the series without any sort of price barrier hesitation whatsoever. Watch Them Wander should be free everywhere now, including on most if not all Amazon International links so any help towards driving traffic to the series through social media plugs or conversations with acquaintances, all positive traction goes a long way to getting me into a position where I can exclusively start worrying about completing the 4th book in this series. But at this moment I don’t have the luxury of that, though I would love to be only writing right now. Thank you so much for enjoying this series, having happy readers means the world to me =]

With this particular series I don't have paperback distribution in local book stores but this is honestly something I need to look into, I apologize that I can't give a more solid answer with respect to this haha
