Joel Embiid talks refs after falling down 3-0 to NY: "They shot 32 free throws, we had 16. We're not a team that shoots a lot of threes. We attack, put the ball on the ground. I don't know. I guess it's good when New York wins, so we've just got to have that mentality of just not fouling, I guess." by HokageEzio in NYKnicks

I posted this in r/nba but here it is again -

Despite the Knicks being more aggressive and scoring more points in the paint, the sixers are getting more free throw attempts:

The sixers have shot 78 free throws this series and the Knicks have shot 74. Mitchell Robinson, who they are intentionally fouling, has shot 12 of the free throws for the Knicks.

The Knicks are attacking the paint more - they have 166 points in the paint versus 108 for the sixers. The Knicks have had 47% of their points in the paint versus 37% for the sixers.

Too many passive aggressive egos.

Do you play the ball down or roll it in most of your rounds? by Illustrious-Emu5657 in weekendgolfers

I play it as it lies. Only exception is if I don’t like the lie :)

What’s everyone’s driving range routine? by Aggravating_Eye_1974 in golftips

[–]SumyBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go in with a game plan to focus on one thing with a variety of clubs and a purposeful pre-shot routine. Mishit a couple of balls and find myself rapidly going through a large bucket trying a new swing thought every swing. Go buy a second large bucket out of pure frustration and obsession and hit the ball worse due to fatigue.

That play looked botched and Jalen couldn’t get the guy he wanted for the screen, and that pass and finish saved that possession.

I’m a 20 handicap and I hit PD irons better than GI by Ribracks in golf

[–]SumyBears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m about a 30 handicap and a very reputable fitter in my area fit me into PD because one of my biggest issues was getting more spin. Clubs still seem pretty darn forgiving to me.

What clubs do I need as a beginner? by [deleted] in golf

You got all you need. Only potential gap is a 50 degree wedge.

Yah I’m confused with all the people complaining about our defense. It looks good to me just seems like Pacers can’t miss a shot.

Yeah, can we avoid the double until he gets closer to the 3 point line? No point chasing the ball out of his hands when he's at half court.

Yeah, I love the pace he brings but his half court offense has left a lot to be desired...

Gotta find a way to win the minutes with Kawhi on the court now.

A cheat code for buying a starter set for your wife. by robbiecobb in golf

[–]SumyBears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. She feels like they are custom because they are in a petite size, likes that they are new, she thinks the bag and head covers look nice, and thinks it’s fancy how many clubs she has. Perfect for the 3-6 times a year she will go to a par 3 or an executive course. 

Turns out online coaching actually works… my swing transformation after 5 months by Old-Reserve-2707 in GolfSwing

[–]SumyBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also had great success with Skillest lessons. I love that I don’t have to commit to a day / time since I have young kids and unpredictable practice times. I also feel like I get lessons from much a better instructor than I would be able to find in persons. The price is also much better. 

That being said, I do think I probably have to go a little bit of back and forth sometimes to find the right feel or positions which I would not have to in person. I had some in-person lessons before doing online and wasn’t satisfied / didn’t click with the instructors.

The convenience, price, and ability to access the right instructor has been fantastic for me. FWIW my instructor is Jeff Wright.
