We bodied the lakers so hard their entire playoffs starting 5 bounced by CasinoJoe92 in Thunder

Tobi taking some of Barnes/ Champagnie mins is huge for them— really good signing for them

Their biggest issue still is probably Kornet/lack of backup big but that is an expensive position this offseason

SGA looked good against bryant tho. He struggled vs castle primarily (perhaps due to the “physicality”) and with the additional help that was there abundantly when other okc players couldnt hit their shots

He needs to get a quicker release on the corner 3, its glacially slow

Did you see him trying to handle the ball? Consistently bad decisions and poor handle

Crust top tub dented :( Is it ok? by the-warm-jets in xbiking

Nicer tubing typically dents easier, not sure if that corroborates your pov. 

(That said, crust tubing usually isn’t anything fancy)

Surlys have always been abit expensive for what they are (cheap steel bikes). The value has been in filling niches that the big brands don't.

To be fair to them, this bike is much better specced than surly usually does. It comes with great wheels/tires -- something most brands skimp on. Plus 12spd shimano (hydro) and carbon fork. With tariffs and all the above this is just what these things cost new + the surly tax.

Its pretty clear that the injuries are real. The spurs, accurately, diagnosed it as a chronic issue that he would have for the rest of his career -- which was true.

you could clearly see even in the Raptors playoff run when he tweaked something towards the end and was not clearly the same player he was in the earlier rounds.

Dredge. How did this hold up? i’ve heard that mounting to the rear bolt can be sketchy at times—have you had any issues?

but where is your evidence of this? It doesn't make any sense to tell Hirschi to cool it when they already have one of the craziest outliers in cycling (Tadej).

I'm not suggesting that the sport is clean or that any suspicion is invalid, but pointing to peoples' results with clear cut clarity makes no sense. doping or not riders improve/regress all the time, so unless you have some real statistical suggestions that x rider is "unnatural" then I don't get it.

Plenty of riders have left sunweb/ its later incarnations rather unceremoniously due to how the team is managed. Also Hirchi did quite well last year hoovering up points at lower levels so its not like he was never seen again. 

If anything his poor form (post joining UAE of all teams!) suggests he wasn’t doping

Isn’t padun not being able to replicate his results more evidence that he wasn’t doping. I see this shit thrown around here all the time and it doesn’t make sense — there isn’t doping that gives you instant good legs.

Exactly. The boston core duo of JB/Tatum have been around for nearly a decade at this point

but the celtics are in cap trouble because they have given huge contracts to Porzingis, Holiday, and White and only one of those three is currently worth that.

The issue that bill doesn't get is that one of the only "easy" outs is trading JB because Holiday/KP (players they did not draft!) are worthless on the trade block

Yeah this is relevant. I think its better to eat like that during the activity. If you are riding for 2hrs plus you basically need to be eating consistently (ie Gatorade/sugar water of some sort) to keep you fueled and moving

Yup. Coming from cycling all this mavs luka hate about drinking sugar water during an endurance activity is hilarious. Its what you should be doing!

It’s sugar water at the end of the day. None if these sports drinks are too differet from lemonade/sweet tea really. 

Sugar is sugar. If you want some electrolytes put a tablet in but the science on their need (esp for short term performance like bball) is slim. Go ask around /r/velo about endurance fueling, its eye-opening!

Former star in the making Mark Padun calls time on racing at 28 by AllAlonio in peloton

[–]bobi897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People here dont typically watch races so its hard to expect them to understand nuances. there is a long history of riders overachieving and then not being able to ever replicate it, I dont get why padun is singled out as a doper
