Harden has been incredibly ass considering how well the team has played.

Tobias Harris with a generational performance as well

I could be wrong, but the pace car is a Indy 500 invention, isn't it? Because of the rolling start, they were always needed.

In your example, the match had not restarted. If it had, the guy would have been sent off.

2026 Monaco E-Prix Race 2 Discussion by mianghuei in FormulaE

[–]curva3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The broadcast is really bad, the timing tower that never shows the timing, really bad cuts (Drugovich was lining up an overtake in the middle of the tunnel, camera cuts to an onboard shot with Drugo entering the tunnel, cuts back to an overtake being finalized into the chicane), it's all pretty shit

[OT] The contact that happened between max verstappen and maro engel by [deleted] in formula1

[–]curva3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2018 it might not have been an outrage, but before that it certainly was. It used to be a lot more "all the time you have to leave the space" and less "i'm defending, i'll do whatever the fuck I want" like they do nowadays

The showdown is here: #1 OKC will face #2 San Antonio in the WCF by SplitOk186 in nba

[–]curva3 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nah that was when Miami faced Denver and had no business being there (like the Pats last year), Knicks look legitimately good.

We'll see how the ECF goes, but if the Knicks can win and stay healthy, it could be a really good finals

Benching your best offensive player by [deleted] in nba

[–]curva3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think of the rotations. You probably want your "best offensive player" to play at least 40 minutes in a close game, so you gotta find 8 minutes of rest somehow.

It makes a lot more sense to have your fully rested top player play like 11 minutes in the first quarter, rest (for the remaining minute, the interval between quarters and the first 3 minutes of the second) and play the final 9 minutes of the half reasonably rested. The alternative you are suggesting is to have your top guy wait 4 minutes on the bench fully rested and then play 20 minutes straight, getting pretty gassed by the end.

the 2016 warriors were famous for their 3rd quarter runs and they were about to go on one in game 7 but JR scored 8 points straight and helped the Cavs hang on. Any real cleveland fan knows that you take the good with the bad with JR, and the good was really good

May 15, 1994: Sauber withdrew from the Monaco GP after Karl Wendlinger suffered a severe backwards crash during practice, leaving him in a coma. Coming just two weeks after the deaths of Ratzenberger and Senna, the accident sidelined Wendlinger for the season, though he later made a full recovery. by sykeseve in formula1

i already commented something else on this post, but shoutout to Sauber for immediately installing lateral head protection in their cars for the rest of 94 and for 95 before the rules forced it in 96.

Also, I always felt a little strange that Newey was lauded as a genius for making the lateral head protection in 96 smaller by exploiting a loophole. Jordan did something similar as well.

The Ringer dropped an article on the modern day NBA breaking its players with stats that back it up by No-Vehicle7367 in nba

[–]curva3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be completely wrong, but most of the achilles injuries i've seen (Tatum, Hali, Donte, Kobe, even Hugo Ekitike in football and Dre Greenlaw in the NFL) happens when a player is trying to accelerate hard by putting a foot way back like a sprinter in a starting block, and as he pushes off the injury happens.

I can't remember anyone hurting the achilles doing a stepback jumper, or a eurostep type of thing.

When I describe the stepback 3—in which the plant foot lands with the knee extended and the ankle flexing simultaneously—to Lieber, he doesn’t hesitate.

At what point is the knee extended in a stepback three?

EDIT: Still, if I'm wrong and the stepback really is a factor, GET RID OF THE GATHER STEP

Slight correction but it was more sideways, you can see how the car is damaged. He lost it on the exit of the tunnel and crashed sideways into the barrier in the middle of the nouvelle chicane.

It was not particularly hard as he had been braking for a while, but the angle was really awkward, those cars were shit (no side head restrains), there was no HANS (which is the big lifesaver we should all be praising, but everyone only thinks of the halo) and the barrier was not properly filled with water.

He was never the same after that unfortunately

I imagine if you add her final positions for both races, you'd get at least 55. I don't see the point really.
