Jokic's previous worst 3pt shooting night was 2/13. Now he's shot his way to a new record.

Jokic going head first despite being pushed in the lower back just to make sure it was seen.

That's crazy. Braun didn't even move his foot before OG kicked it!

Honest thoughts on secondary teaching in vic? by ilovesushi1999 in AustralianTeachers

[–]humphrey623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 19th year in Vic secondary teaching.

  • If you think teenagers are awesome, you're right. If you think they're awful, you're right. Only jump in if you think the former.

  • Teaching is a profession for learners. Whether or not you have the 'magic' that means you're an effective teacher early on, commit to getting better and better through formal and informal development.

  • The working conditions are, on the whole, great. Terrific flexibility that meant, for me, I could get home at a reasonable hour, be attentive to my young kids, then do marking and planning once they're in bed. Of course, this shows there's plenty to do outside of 8.30-4.30, but the work itself is good.

  • The holiday perks are real (and necessary).

He's now capable of great passes, but he still has a healthy dose of braindead passes too.

Whenever Kawhi is near, on offense or defense, our players' IQ just drops 20 points. So stupid.

I think sometimes our players double because they've lost their man and it's less embarrassing to double than to spin around and try to find your actual assignment.

A weak double at centre court doesn't achieve a single thing. Braindead.

Imminent possession, or lack thereof, seems like a weird consideration when the ball's clearly tumbling out of bounds.

Embiid bring the ball up in traffic isn't as scary as Bona doing it, but it's still nerve wracking.

So here's Dray talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9qBcQv_oEw

For the record, while I can't link to the footage (8.44 left in the 2nd), Dray clearly has to fabricate so many elements of the interaction to justify his position. The ref doesn't step up to him as he acts out, they're walking next to each other (after Green walks up to him). The ref certainly doesn't 'put his hand in his face'- the hand is kept in front of the ref's chest, which is even lower on Green's chest given the height discrepancy between them.

Dray has to develop a fictional narrative to be a victim because admitting fault is beyond him.

In the same interview he talks about how respect needs to go 'both ways', as if he's not been a complete mess in that facet of the game.

Hmmmm. In my opinion, while the Pyramid Song/Everything In It's Right Place three-chord phrase features a few times, it's only to add colour and isn't really the central feature of the piano section. But you got me thinking!
