fairly certain I post this every two years but I have not thought about the pistons in two years

The pistons have a roster full of nba players. by definition.

i liked dsj out of college too but i think at this point theres plenty of evidence hes not an nba player
― lag∞n, Monday, 8 February 2021 01:24 (three years ago) link
But he plays for an nba team, ergo...

xps to Dennis Smith convo yesterday
There was a period of time when DSJ was a trendy pick to be ROY from his class! Media narrative was the Mavs had stolen a highlight reel kind of player.
Fast forward to last year when his EFFECTIVE FG% WAS .379!!!! That's EFG, not FG! The splits contributing to that impressive feat were 34/30/50. Yikes.

kg is spot on when he identifies the removal of hand-checking from the game as the primary difference in how the pro game has evolved. it got rid of ugly defensive maulers like the Riley-coached Knicks, unleashed the creativity of the offense and turned the game more fluid. steph curry wouldn't have been possible if his defender could have his hands all over him the entire game.

that whole interview with kg is in the times and it's worth a read. he's really smart.

was just watching lakers/celtics game 6 1987 on youtube
it's really interesting, i know we've talked about it before, but god everyone is SO stiff and plodding, even magic
you almost wonder if some of these guys could even play now? or at least would they be good?
bird i feel like could have adjusted to the 3 point game and was so inherently crafty (he comes out shooting like shit in this game though)
it's funny, james worthy is just on a different planet from everyone else athletically, he's the only guy that moves and looks like a modern player

a really basic thing that bothers me abt chuck, shaq et al is these guys are supposed to be selling the league, not shitting all of it with some well folks in my day garbage. people aren’t going to tune in to see a product of its most visible ambassadors are constantly like THREE POINTERS? WHY DONT YOU MAN UP, like this just drives me bananas

there is a fascinatingly depressing circularity to the sports discourse where pundits say say ridiculously revanchist shit like this, it becomes the basic currency of casual conversation, somehow players also buy into it, players become pundits, rinse repeat

he had maybe the best game ive ever seen from him. still not a consistent enough shooter imo (came in shooting .439/.316/.783 and averaging 14.4 ppg). he had a hot one tonight, though.

this team has looked so much tighter defensively with aldridge and walker out of the lineup. more minutes for derrick white whose shot has not returned form injury but is a much stronger defender. poeltl is legit one of the best defensive big men in the game. only a handful of guys i'd rather have playing the 5 over him on D.
― class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:10 (three years ago) link
also devin vassell is already the spurs' best perimeter defender. eyes in the back of his head. by next year he'll be playing 30 minutes a game next to murray and teams will be tearing their hair out trying to score around all the long arms.

It's just plain weird that the US national anthem is heard almost exclusively at sports events and nowhere else. What does a ballgame between two teams of athletes have to do with singing a love song to the US flag?

it’s called patriotism for one
but why is a ballgame a patriotic occasion requiring the anthem to be played, but pretty much no other crowd events, like orchestral symphonies, rock concerts, retirement banquets, regattas, ballets, etc?
