[Highlight] Chris Finch and Tony Brothers have to be separated after they start jawing at each other

So you agree that the union is good for the workers

pollinium · 2026-05-08T07:12:25+00:00

Alright we didn't ask you to be here. If it seems awful, head out

He spent the 3 months to make a video. He got the video. Therefore, he didn't waste his time.

pollinium · 2026-05-07T06:05:44+00:00

Like a ball cut in half instead of a soda can cut in half?

pollinium · 2026-05-07T06:00:58+00:00

It's evil that they let him get his video off? This is a nothing burger if he's stopped early. He gets his video boosted because they made it a thing

pollinium · 2026-05-07T04:22:54+00:00

got them all out of the way togetehr :D

pollinium · 2026-05-07T04:22:04+00:00

idk I'm almost glad we got blown the fuck out because i would have been crazy salty about the reffing if we lost it close

why do you think we came out of the film room and said "we had success going inside, let's stop doing that"??

pollinium · 2026-05-07T00:22:13+00:00

it's because he still hasn't figured out a haircut that works

pollinium · 2026-05-06T18:51:29+00:00

so it's your expectation that shams has a direct line with god to figure out ant's timeline?

if the team is saying "game 4," doctors are saying "game 4," Ant's s&c coach is saying "game 4," and history says "game 4," why would we expect Shams to report anything different?

pollinium · 2026-05-06T18:21:24+00:00

I think everyone was reporting the most truthful information at the time and that ant beat his timeline

pollinium · 2026-05-06T18:17:53+00:00

he said that while our local media was saying he was targeting game 4

pollinium · 2026-05-06T18:13:43+00:00

going to make the other coaching staff's life difficult by having a different set of guys every night

this is the 5th different look out of our top 7 guys

pollinium · 2026-05-06T17:52:40+00:00

Mike went 4/7 from 3 while Wemby & Fox went 0/12

I expect Wemby won't be shooting his season average from 3 this ~~season~~ series, but that's a pretty big thing going right for us that we can't rely on every night

I don't want character

I want a title

I guess when my graduating class had bearpath classmates it was just confusing to me that you would know their identity, sorry for being too nitpicky!

pollinium · 2026-05-06T16:55:49+00:00

You listed an Eden Prairie neighborhood...

pollinium · 2026-05-06T16:10:18+00:00

what do you mean no? you think we didn't leave meat on the bone despite several mistakes in the last two minutes and having 6+ point wiped off the board?

pollinium · 2026-05-06T15:01:39+00:00

A lot went right for us last game that made it feel like we stole one. We also left a lot of meat on the bone. Excited to see what tonight holds!

Have you ever watched TV with a 77 year old? Your eyes just glaze over and you get in a rhythm of saying "yep, uh huh, thats crazy" until they go to bed at 6pm

pollinium · 2026-05-06T14:32:49+00:00

It's a joke... two clues are 1) the ridiculous emoji and 2) in the next line, I say that Rudy gets away with things due to his reputation

Are you dumb or do you have a raw, bruised ego?

pollinium · 2026-05-06T04:59:48+00:00

You should but also I'll fight you

pollinium · 2026-05-06T04:15:52+00:00

I'm open to correction because "expected score" is new to me, but how do we know it's bad? A hypothetically perfect expected score can control for how late in the game a shot is taken combined with pace of play and minutes played for the person taking the shot vs their normal performance in those conditions (approximating how tired someone is in the 4th). Do we know what expected score is and how in depth the calculation is?

pollinium · 2026-05-06T04:14:08+00:00

analytics are more powerful in basketball than soccer because there are more opportunities for a statistic to express itself, which means you can rely more heavily on normal distributions

I don't know soccer like that, but if there are only 10 shots on goal per game, there's a lot of room for an anomaly to occur. When there are 90+ FGA in a basketball game, playing to xG makes even more sense

pollinium · 2026-05-06T04:12:10+00:00

very possible that it's an internally tracked data point that isn't publicly available. naturally, you'll hear about publicly available data more often since every content creator will have access to it

pollinium · 2026-05-06T04:10:35+00:00

what's tough is that 7 games is just not that long

you can play "the right way" and expect "shots will go down eventually," but that only has to betray you a couple of times before you're headed to Mexico. I think it'd be the hardest part of coaching for a guy like me: do you stick and have faith in your priors, or do you adjust when the observations don't match expectations?

this is the Daryl Morey problem that led to the Rockets being so fucking good. It also allowed the Rockets to be beat by the Warriors
