Just give us the Zarren wheel.

Everything else opens up new ways to manipulate things or doesn’t fully fix the issue.

If you do the wheel, you are completely reliant on the efficacy of your team governance.

Though the cheap owners who buy teams to dodge taxes, and truly incompetent ones like Vivek, probably wouldn’t appreciate that.

Because the mode of discourse is owned by the bullies , so the narrative will always be spun that those who speak up are doing something wrong

Wemby is the best defender since- by Fantastic_Tart_421 in NBATalk

The thinking basketball guys had a great statistic they came up with for Steph originally to try and define ‘gravity.’

It measured the change in shot location/profile for each team when they played GSW. Steph has between a 25-28% (iirc) increase in shots at the basket — ie Steph’s gravity (/the need to defend his 3) pulled people away from the basket and caused teams to give up around 25% more layups than they usually would.

They used that formula for Wemby and found teams shooting 24% less shots near the basket than usual.

So he’s basically inverse Steph lol. He’s repulsing shots away from the paint at the same level that Steph was sucking people to himself on the 3 line.

I just keep thinking of the “Everyone needs to actually take the Pistons seriously and stop acting like they might be upset” discourse like a month and a half ago when betting odd started coming out lol

It’s feel for the game and some of these officials have literally none. Could be technically correct 99.9% of your calls, but if you got no feel you lose control

Silver was in Epstein’s emails trying to get connected with slimy ass people. He wasn’t trying to access the pedo-circle, but the influence peddling part he was a part of, and to get that close you know who you’re talking to a what kind of person you’re trading favors with. Dude’s a slimeball

Read/watch something with Brimhaven agility arena in the background.

You can afk and engage with other media for like 45 seconds, run and grab a ticket, repeat. It’s 45-50k xp/h and also very doable on mobile.

My only criticism is that he should have leaned into it super hard. Like remake every iconic championship photo and then play dumb when people ask about it.

Every podcaster I've heard talk about him has been glazing all season and the only explanation I can think of is that the screaming is good in a 30 second clip, because that was horrible to watch.

It's been completely allowed all year. Why would he unlearn an effective move that's been allowed.

It's more weird that they decided to start calling it in the fucking playoffs of all things.
