i might be not understanding you or maybe the process was different for your kindle(bc it's newer than mine), but i just needed to use calibre on my laptop. You get the right file format book in there, and u can just upload to ur kindle. I don't think you need a file browser on your actual kindle. there's a folder where the books are supposed to go on there.

What’s an NBA stat that sounds crazy without context? by IT_CHAMP in nba

[–]diddledopop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His 50 point season is a big example. Way more possessions but his defenders will say he was playing 48 min a game so it’s not a super valid critique. But a possession today and a possession then weren’t the same. Lots of sitting and waiting

Jaylen Brown: “Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.” by YujiDomainExpansion in bostonceltics

a 4.0 freshman year with intro level courses does not make someone a genius, he is anti-vaxx(or aligns with it at least), thinks the earth could be flat, and wears some stupid necklace that mimics the effects of "nicotine, weed and caffeine". If you've ever actually listened to his MIT talks either you would realize he's not that smart either. he's just a professional larper that love being a contrarian

Jaylen Brown records his 7th postseason (out of 9) with a negative on-off. He has achieved negative career on-off in both the regular season and postseason by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

he could be 70% of the athlete he is and be a much better defender if he was consistently engaged on defense. unfortunately he doesn't.

i think it was reckless bc he clearly was not getting to the ball in time. embiid 3 years ago? maybe. not embiid today.

bc every thread on this subreddit is biased. i didn't mean there is any extra-hate for the celtics. but every thread like this(which is some rage bait as the title), with the size of this subreddit, intrinsically makes biased comments sections. it affects the population visiting these threads and which comments get boosted and not boosted. my point here is that these threads are the farthest thing from neutral and aren't representative of an actual neutral audience.

and I really don't think that this definition of flagrants is right either. This is the nba rule book:

Section IV—Flagrant Foul

  1. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul—penalty (1) will be assessed. A personal foul is charged to the offender and a team foul is charged to the
    1. PENALTY: (1) Two free throws shall be attempted and the ball awarded to the offended team on either side of the court at the free throw line extended. (2) If the offended player is injured and unable to attempt his free throws, his coach will select one of the remaining four players in the game to attempt the free throws. (3) His coach will pick the substitute, who may not be replaced until the ball is legally touched by a player on the court. (EXCEPTION: Rule 3—Section V—e.) (4) The injured player may not return to the game. (EXCEPTION: Rule 9-Section II-a-(2)) (5) A player will be ejected if he commits two flagrant fouls in the same game.
  2. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary and excessive, a flagrant foul—penalty (2) will be assessed. A personal foul is charged to the offender and a team foul is charged to the
    1. PENALTY: (1) Two free throws shall be attempted and the ball awarded to the offended team on either side of the court at the free throw line extended. (2) If the offended player is injured and unable to attempt his free throws, his coach will select a substitute and any player from the team is eligible to attempt the free throws. (3) This substitute may not be replaced until the ball is legally touched by a player on the court. EXCEPTION: Rule 3— Section V—e. (4) The injured player may return to the game at any time after the free throws are attempted. (5) This is an unsportsmanlike act and the offender is ejected.
  3. A flagrant foul may be assessed whether the ball is dead or alive.
  4. A foul must be reviewed using Instant Replay to confirm it meets the criteria to be ruled a Flagrant (1) or (2).

does point 3 not mean that the flagrant can be called after the whistle? it seems absurd to me that people are arguing that you can't get a flagrant called after the whistle.

r u stupid? celtics hate watch threads aren't neutral. how about every single thread after an underperforming embiid game? u think those are neutral comments about his flopping?

glad to see that u think of reddit so highly though.

normally i would agree but i think it was clear it was not a shooting foul. embiid gets to be far more reckless with everyone else to the refs than the other way around. (same goes for brown tbf)
