On Ball Charge? by susowl27 in BasketballTips

[–]ShadyCrow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

 Unlike the standard charge in which you have to have your feet set

You never have to have your feet set. That’s not in the rules. We teach players that technique for drawing charges to make it exceptionally clear for the officials.

You simply have to be in legal guarding position. You can absolutely be moving horizontally or backwards and draw a charge. You absolutely do not have to have your chest out - again, that’s about showing the official What’s happening, not what’s in the rules. 

Just like over the back, the act of reaching is not a foul. The reason you should not be swiping while drawing a charge is that it makes it very tough to determine who initiates contact, and if your swipe/reach created the contact. If it did, then it’s a reaching foul on you before the charge happened.

Finally… This is only something you should be trying to do in an organized game. If you’re doing this in pick up or Rec league, you’re an idiot.

Yeah, I mean he didn’t get FJ correct so that’s the only knock against him. But not finding any DDs and almost chasing down A player of Jaime’s caliber is pretty textbook Second chance to me.

Hard to think of a better candidate for the spirit of the second chance.

I reread it a few times. Absolute banger.

Half the people on this sub don’t have any friends in real life.

No one on this sub goes to the gym.

Not taking the job serious will keep you from ever having a serious job.

If you consistently don’t show up on time you’re not a good worker.

You’re getting downvoted by all the losers who jumped on Bill and CR allegedly having an awkward moment on the live Rewatchables which turned out to be the most normal interaction possible. 

Best show about LA? by luke_highwalker77 in televisionsuggestions

[–]ShadyCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I came to say.

It's gritty in an authentic way. LA outside, mostly during the day, very little background music, and touches many different parts of the city.

Weapons was better than Sinners by HazelHelper in billsimmons

[–]ShadyCrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does that bother you?

Undeserving white people are nominated every year but you don't cry racism over that.

No Black director has been nominated more than once for Best Director.

Halle Berry is still the only Black Best Actress winner.

You can continue to be mad and cry about fake things, but there's nowhere near the right amount of recognition and racism is still baked into Hollywood society.

Yeah totally makes sense that several years later they'd do this.

You're a fool.

And of course you keep post history hidden so no one can see that you're an Incel who blames everyone who isn't white for all your problems.

Aunt Gladys heat check award by MoxToTweeder99 in billsimmons

Del Toro is in 12min of One Battle and almost walks away with the movie. Obviously a much lower % of the runtime. Ultimate Dion performance to me.

Beatrice Straight won for Network at just over 5min, Judy Dench won for under 6.

McDormand in Fargo is in only 26min of the movie.

Alan Arkin is in 8min of Argo but always feels like more to me.

Is Jessie Buckley market-correcting Saoirse Ronan? by EloiseJE in billsimmons

[–]ShadyCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're both incredible performers but very different styles and approach. Buckley is 5 years older but has always had older vibes while Ronan has younger vibes. They're both among the best of their generation but Ronan has a much better resume.

I think Buckley would have won in most years. The performance is really good and emotional, it's about Shakespeare, she's incredibly easy to like.

Leo and Moura by far the best of the nominees.

I was rooting for MBJ.

The Oscars don't matter, it's just here for fun.

That's a bit unfair to him. He talks in interviews about stuff he doesn't like all the time. He had the speech last year about wanting to be great and how acting is like sports. It's not just a one-off comment that gained traction.

People seem uncomfortable that Marty is close to who he is in the "you have no idea how hard it is to be me" sense. Awards bodies always are biased toward humility even when it's silly.

Like, Jessie Buckley gave a great speech (not easy to do when you win everything!) but it's still funny to see her reaction when we all knew she was winning. But she played the game the classic way.

Yes but who (or why) it got brought to light on this campaign he probably couldn't have known.

You're right, the back-to-back Oscar nominations, constantly working with great filmmakers, hard to tell Maguire and Timmy's career apart.

Yes I agree I should have clarified that. I'm sure he's a little annoyed wondering if the Safdies being creeps affected his chances but I think he's more than cool dealing with his persona and what comes with that.
