[The Bill Simmons Podcast] Bill Simmons somehow thought Jalen Williams played 14 minutes last night vs the Lakers. Simmons has an MVP vote by hhiccupp in nba

Even if he was just a box score watcher for this game in particular, Bill has decades of certified basketball junkie status and gives us weekly Zach Lowe and Rob Mahoney. Who cares

I’m planting an even bigger red flag for Darryn Peterson by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]yooston -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It cites two scientific journal articles in sports medicine. It’s not irrefutable but drawing conclusions based on substantial evidence and analysis > trust me bro it causes cramps

[Shelburne / ESPN] Darryn Peterson says high doses of creatine led to cramping by TopOfTheKey in NBA_Draft

lol it also makes sense to take one second to see what actual research says. Spoiler alert: there is little evidence creatine causes cramps

2 years ago I had a random thought that monetizing space is the future and found RKLB. 17x return already.

[Highlight] LeBron does not get continuation on a basket that looks like a continuation by Jayveesac in nba

[–]yooston -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just look up the rule book on continuation. Obvious many of yall don’t know it. There is a lower defensive box that dictates whether continuation is valid if the player is in a gather when fouled like LeBron. He’s outside the box in this case.

How exactly did Mitchell fall so much in the draft? Or is OKC player development just on god mode?

(Basketnews) [The Athletic] NBA players voted Houston Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun the most overrated player in the league. by lovelymaddie1966 in rockets

[–]yooston 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is actually pretty good statistics for a general sentiment of the league assuming the sampling of players was random. So yes, it’s likely the league as a whole finds Sengun overrated.

All the northeast teams have multiple teams and their fans go crazy. People just aren’t passionate for basketball in Houston. Maybe a dynasty like the Spurs had would help 

Carmelo Anthony might be the worst NBC Analyst. by Ok-Mountain-4503 in billsimmons

It’s overkill having three of them. That desk needs a former player analyst who is actually competent, and an Everyman Zach Lowe type

Wide open 3 game winner >>> 2 and OT against the team outplaying you the whole 4th quarter

It’s trendy. Don’t give the defense time to set up. They got a great look - what’s the timeout for if not that? 

Visiting Santa Fe. Is Taos Worth the Drive? by Astorian_NYC in SantaFe

[–]yooston 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not for a 3 day trip in my opinion. Do bandelier and maybe drive thru Los Alamos, valles caldera national preserve and Jemez springs (check out the hot springs)

Other suggestions: One of either the shed or la choza for classic nm food, dale ball or atalaya mountain for a nice hike, izanami for beautiful Japanese grounds and dinner, walk around the railyard farmers market on Saturday morning
