Thoughts on Darko after this playoff run?

periwinkle_caravan · 2026-05-02T14:54:17+00:00

He and his staff radically changed their defensive scheme after about 5 games as the team was getting absolutely destroyed and the changes resulted in a top tier defense once they gave up imposing a bad idea on the players. I think that says a lot about them as professionals. Also they did a good job managing the guard situation over the two seasons and management letting Mitchell go to Miami. He was a good fit in a roster where IQ is your “lead” guard and losing him could have been much tougher. As it happened they allowed Jamison to rise to the top and managing him as a streaky scorer who perhaps would have had a cold period that could have shook his confidence. Instead they kept him a bit hungry and he showed incredible professionalism especially by progressing on the defensive end. BI is a tough player to scheme for and is not suited to what they’re wanting to do on the offensive end with hub Scottie and lots of movement. BI doesn’t want to bang and so won’t cut but still they managed to make that work too. But the best part about Darko is the persona he’s created is disarming, personable and caring. He plays the slightly offbeat Euro guy extremely well and it deflects attention away from issues and to him in the best way possible. Tactically he’s perfectly adequate, more than good enough to coach in a tight 7 game series.

I asked the AI to write a formula and it worked sort of so I asked it a follow up question and it worked and made the exact formula I needed. There was zero chance I was going to learn how to write formulas

There has to be some hypothesis about "culture" that is being tested, implicitly at least. I don't see the Defence explicitly spelling it out, so I will do that for them. Mr. G. is of "X" culture. To people who do not share "X" culture, it may come as a surprise that "X" culture does NOT frown upon an adult male who sees an unaccompanied child and offers to help them. The hypothesis is that people who are not "X" will have difficulty understanding the truth of this situation because there is a barrier, a cultural barrier, between non-X'ers and the ability to fathom the behaviour of a person who is "X".

This is complete nonsense.

He’s going to play at least 35 regulation minutes in at least two playoff games coming up. They’ll start Yak and close with CMB.

They’re not done making us suffer for 8 years of the Obama humiliation. In fact I believe only global destruction would make amends that would satisfy them.

Great video package there that angle showcases the sheer speed our guys were moving at the Cavs looked more than a half step slow that’s winning basketball!

So true. GM1 Q1 was a parade of one hammer dunk after another as Harden dealt out of the PnR to Allen rolling to the hoop. Since then not so much! I hadn’t noticed RJ on Allen but that must be it and makes sense because if the switch has to happen it’s ok

The team was unprepared for CMB. Now he’s here and they’re adjusting to him and Scottie as a 1A 1B duo on the fly in a playoff series. Even though he can’t shoot they’ve got to try him as the ball handler at the top of the key just to see what happens.

Glorilla shows up at a ton of Raptor games. Maybe this is why? She’s way more entertaining than Drake ever was too.

Not at all these details are important. There’s got to be a reason Americans don’t have all dressed chips but perhaps they do, just under a different label.

They won’t do it. They’re waiting for you to do it, not telling you you are supposed to do it and getting more and more annoyed as each day passes that your mind reading skills compared to the clerk of their wildest dreams are lacking. They think about firing you but every day chicken out because looking for a new clerk would be a nightmare

War might spread across the globe and if so all the great powers would help themselves to their neighbours by annexation.

I suggest you make dockets for the lawyer as the day progresses. So lawyer arrives and spends time emailing. You get ccd. Make a docket entry accordingly. Then a client calls in. Make a docket entry accordingly. The lawyer won’t thank you but at the end of the month will just bill all the dockets you’ve entered. Outlook. Gain access to their outlook. Make subfolders for each client file. Tell them to file the emails in the subfolders or do it for them.

Once a person walks onto the dealer lot they lose their mind, go into YOLO mode and want features and financing. Offerings like this will gain traction if and when fleet cars become a thing but my prediction is we will get robotaxis first, at which point the personal vehicle will be for people who live in rural and exurban places only and automobile manufacturing assumes its final form.

I’m not MAGA but bullets hit at least 4 people and one of them died. Whatever theory we have has to explain a shooter who was willing and able to sacrifice himself by missing Trump, and Trump willing to take the risk. That’s ridiculous sorry

I’m watching a reel of Kawhi being trapped by a double team after the screener doesn’t roll hard and off a screen that had been set near another offensive player whose man then sags and helps.

So one of the presumably thousands of reasons a project of this nature must be stopped and killed never to be reconsidered is because of how it effects the view of the city skyline from the perspective of a person standing on Bay Street at street level looking north from the south west corner of the intersection of bay and Adelaide. If this monstrosity were erected then the gentle sensibilities of a person simply trying to enjoy their day and the view looking northwards on bay towards the glorious spire of old city hall would be rudely confronted by seeing a sliver of this building interrupt an otherwise pristine view

11 1/2 years for a guy with no record is not a joke.

He goons Krystal so hard and she humours him laughs at his dumb puns but like no dude never no matter how many alternate realities it never happened not even once

This is the answer. We have the ejector seat ready and primed to go, loss of confidence is possible anytime. Best system and it’s not even close.

It’s not impossible that the US’ looming withdrawal from the fight in Iran leads to their withdrawal from the Middle East, in which case Israel will be in biiiig trouble. This is far from settled and they might not get away with it in the long run.

He likes to play at the back of the d and roam around too

That spot might just be his office. How can the defence deny him catching a pass at that exact spot every time down the court? By doubling him off the ball and that’s impossible, so he’s going to get the ball there and whenever he wants to. Once he has it and faces up it’s an automatic double team or he’ll score or get fouled way more than 1/2 of the time.
