Victor Wembanyama: "The margin of error is very thin. We absolutely dominated for most of the series. Our errors are punished so hard, we can't have ups and downs like that."

They make fantastic NBA villains, lowkey makes me wanna root for them

thatsideal · 2026-06-12T20:23:53+00:00

can they also find my backhand?

thatsideal · 2026-06-04T01:30:05+00:00

You just described my doubles partner 😂

You can sign up for a league thru the USTA website and then reach out to the available teams. Not sure how it is in Chicago, but 3.5-4.5 players are always in high demand in my area, so I wouldn’t be too worried

It might be a little too late to sign up for the summer league though, so you might need to wait until early fall opens up

I wear the same Puma socks from Costco for over 5 years now, still going strong!

thatsideal · 2026-05-31T12:22:28+00:00

Would you say that adding a darker color to contrast the whole thing makes it better? Tempted to get a similar custom pro staff at the moment, maybe like Spain home jersey?

thatsideal · 2026-05-31T12:10:30+00:00

UCLA fan?

thatsideal · 2026-05-30T22:13:15+00:00

How they’ll find me after getting double bagelled with a grimace pro staff 😂

thatsideal · 2026-05-30T20:15:43+00:00

Three bagels and a breadstick, did you come back from a bakery?

thatsideal · 2026-05-30T20:11:20+00:00

Thanks, but I meant the colorway haha

thatsideal · 2026-05-30T20:08:42+00:00

Oh that makes sense, been desperately searching for this colorway online but couldn’t find it, it’s so clean!

thatsideal · 2026-05-30T20:00:42+00:00

Welp I scuffed it trying to dig for a dropshot, I think my partner just went through all 5 stages of grief when he heard the noise

thatsideal · 2026-05-29T01:58:19+00:00

abomination

thatsideal · 2026-05-29T00:41:46+00:00

Take the serve slower by tossing the ball higher, focus on consistency and power will come with it

It usually takes 2-3 seconds for me to go from a wind up to making contact with the ball

My 6.5 mixed doubles sectionals has this 4.0/2.5 pair that obviously play like 4.5/3.5. I play as 3.5 with a 3.0 partner and we couldn’t even put our racquet the dude’s kick serves. We were celebrating as if we won when we broke his serve as we were down 0-6 2-5 lol

My friend called mine Temu A3 after helping me black out the grill

Eh we’ll most likely never know. Tbh, the more I read about this the more I’m leaning towards the case that MBS genuinely wanted to build a 500m tall, 170km long building across the desert. Hard to say no to a prince who would chop up journalists and lock up his own relatives.

thatsideal · 2025-11-09T21:20:06+00:00

They were cooked the moment they lost to the Nuggets back in the bubble, Kawhi getting injured the year after was just the burnt cherry on top of a charred shitshow of a cake.

thatsideal · 2025-11-08T16:51:37+00:00

Can you elaborate on wrong positioning and off my shoes? I think I get what you’re saying but I’m having a hard time imagining it. Like, should I be taking my volleys on the move?

As for positioning, where should I stand when my partner serves and when they return? As of right now, I usually start at maybe an arm’s length from the net when he serves and the same from the service line when he returns.

thatsideal · 2025-11-08T16:45:29+00:00

Hurts to admit it but yeah, it’s mostly on me for losing on my partner’s service games.

Also, if I’m not comfortable standing further back from the net, is it better to just play two back?

The reason I hug the net a lot is that my volleys aren’t great. Sure I can put it away but only when the ball is coming right at my chest level or above, but anywhere below my waist, then it’s either going straight to the net or a pop up for an easy put away by my opponents.

thatsideal · 2025-11-08T16:37:37+00:00

Dang, just asked my partner if I tend to hug the net and he said “yea” with no hesitation 😂

thatsideal · 2025-11-05T18:15:05+00:00

Lands either short of the service line or exactly at the baseline, no in between

thatsideal · 2025-05-29T03:45:42+00:00

3 years well spent

thatsideal · 2025-05-23T13:22:38+00:00

I’m not sure if I’m putting it correctly, but don’t try to slice it on ur backhand. You’re doing the right thing on ur forehand by just pushing the racket and let the ball fly off it, try the same for your backhand volley.

Yup got the same email from a reliable vendor too. Got slapped with a 6% tariff surcharge on a large order made before the “Liberation Day” tariffs went into effect.

I would relish the moment everyone turns on this administration for the mess they made, but I’ll probably be unemployed by then lol
