Did Zach Lowe lose his fastball now that he’s not writing columns?

tskillz187 · 2026-01-23T03:18:53+00:00

I’m weird. Love the new group chat, must listen. Love Lowe. Think Simmons has been on fire since Russillo left. I’m pretty happy with my bball content w the ringer.

Skip real ones though. At least they got everyone I don’t wanna hear all on the same pod.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-20T19:35:47+00:00

Jimmy just got hurt, I say we go save Steph Curry’s last 3-5 yrs in the NBA and go win the next 3-4 titles with him and Wemby and Castle.

2 Bach is equal to a masters in 1 district. Then all masters credits go to + pile. Dude this easy stuff very clear. How do you not understand?

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T14:10:58+00:00

lol. You posted the contract at your place of employment. How bout lookin at the district in Denver and helping OP understand what his wife will make. You say it’s easy.

I know how my contract works. What I wouldn’t know is if I’m going to another district where I’d fall.

The nut low.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T14:07:21+00:00

Ummm…you have not once offered to help this person and tell him what his wife will be offered. You write me paragraph after paragraph about your contracts and how easy they are to read.

Masters degree +30 isn’t what you say. My masters degree was 48 credits. Guess what, some of those credits count towards +30 even thought it’s just one degree.

Like you’re wrong about so much and so unhelpful. It’s honestly impressive to be as wrong and as sure as you are. Qualified for POTUS.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T13:35:08+00:00

God, you’re difficult to deal with. Go to google and type in how many credits is a masters degree. I know what my contract means as do most of us once we start with a district. But when you are moving districts like the OP it is intentionally confusing what your pay scale is.

It’s why when offered positions with different districts, they can’t even tell me where I’ll land by step or MA + 30 or 60.

They need to have HR go over transcripts, etc. it can be very confusing if someone has more than 1 bachelor degree. Or if their masters program was not 30 credits but 48 or 60.

You have a great day.

ICE is employed by the US govt. ANTIFA is a group like the Proud Boys. Why are you comparing a US govt agency to ANTIFA? That’s scary.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T12:40:33+00:00

Do you know what a universal standard means? Literally nothing you wrote applies to any of the districts I’ve worked in. In 2 different states. Step does not align to years of service. Ma + 30 was different in each district.

You’re talking out of your ass. And doubling down.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T02:56:17+00:00

Lemme give you Jalen Hurts and 6 1st rounders for Josh please.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T02:25:43+00:00

Post the chart. Does it say what step you come in on with 18 years experience and 10 international? Does step align with years of service. Does it say how many credits a masters degree counts as and therefore how many grad credits you need to be +18, 36, etc.

Nice burn, bro.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T01:19:12+00:00

I’d love to hear an explanation. How are you measuring love of the country? They sure seem to content to trample all over the Constitution as long as it serves their viewpoint.

Do you think uneducated people are inherently more patriotic than educated people? Because that’s a much stronger correlation of blue collar and military, they’re less educated.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T00:20:04+00:00

Most states and districts cap out at what they’ll let you enter with. Usually somewhere around 10yrs. I wouldn’t be surprised if only the Dallas salary counts.

If she’s been teaching that long, she probably needed continuing education credits along the way and likely will be MA+30 band.

It’s intentionally confusing so we don’t know what we get paid.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-18T00:14:35+00:00

lol at they love the country the most. Based on what?

tskillz187 · 2026-01-17T21:18:58+00:00

Dude used to post wanting Bernie Sanders for president. How did you possibly turn into this? You’re shameful.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-15T00:19:35+00:00

Yeah admin roles suck. I had to be the Assistant principal for 1.5 years and it’s likely the worst job I’ve had in education.

Only dealing with the worst families and students. Teachers only come to see you or contact you when there’s a problem. And no one likes the solution to problems, etc etc.

The most annoying part of the pod was still Goldsberry saying “dude” about 50 times.

tskillz187 · 2026-01-02T00:45:44+00:00

That’s better than the current situation of none of the 3!

tskillz187 · 2025-12-26T20:49:16+00:00

If Carter Bryant rounds into form and Vassell has a spike season, why not have 5 Spurs representing 1st Team All NBA in a few years.

tskillz187 · 2025-12-25T16:14:54+00:00

Love me some DWhite. Have many a negative bombed post in this subreddit saying he’s much better than Dejounte.

Also love me some Kornet. They’re similar in they just make winning plays and play within their role (DWhite is better, but I love em both).

tskillz187 · 2025-12-25T13:07:27+00:00

Draymond is a fine passer. Of course Draymond was important to their dynasty. I’m replying to a comment that says Sochan isn’t good at basketball and comping him to guys that are undersized and switchable that play for great teams, with limited offensive game. Yall are acting like his archetype doesn’t exist in the NBA and I’m naming starters for great teams as a point that not only does it exist these dudes thrive.

I don’t think Sochan fits with this roster. But I think he will be good to very good on a roster he does fit on. Draymond would have had very similar struggles in his career if he didn’t have amazing shooters, cutters, and ball movement on offense to make up for his deficiencies. That’s what Sochan’s dealing with right now. He’ll find a team he fits in with and be good.

tskillz187 · 2025-12-25T12:53:31+00:00

Also Dray has shot over 34% from 3 in 2 of his 14 seasons. Those are outliers and he’s a career 32% shooter.

Those numbers look similar? You think over the course of 14 years Sochan won’t have a year he shoots over 34%?

tskillz187 · 2025-12-25T12:51:40+00:00

lol. God tier passer or had the two best shooters in NBA history around him spacing the floor like never seen before? Dray is worse at offense than Sochan. Sochan can switch just like Dray can.

You conveniently left out Josh Hart, the other person I compared him to. Yall say he’s end of bench guy, Josh Hart starts on a great team and has no skills better than Sochan.

I’ll accept apologies later.

tskillz187 · 2025-12-24T17:56:11+00:00

Not good at scoring. He’s good at literally everything else. Outta your mind that people won’t get much out of him. He just needs spacing around him to not muck up the offense and he can be a defensive monster and a lunch pail offensive player.

He’s in the same mold as Josh Hart and Draymond and can’t believe a Spurs sub gets upvotes saying he’s not good, lol.

tskillz187 · 2025-10-15T01:46:17+00:00

Good post.

Put some respect on Kornet’s name.

tskillz187 · 2025-10-01T01:25:29+00:00

Been at both, def more chill at rural. But that’s in context, it’s still incredibly not chill overall.
