to all my friends living in the Bay, I wanted to get your pulse on things.
I'm visiting my parents and all they can talk about are recent retail crime and highway shootings. I know this is top of mind for them because earlier this year my mom personally was in a store when she witnessed a robbery, but I wanted to get a better sense to what degree these events are on the minds of the public at large in the Bay, if there's media bias, etc.
just a thought…..would Kevon Looney have had an NBA career let alone crack a starting 5 on any other team than the Warriors, watching Looney jam up 1-2 strong side defenders while Curry flies by off ball is a thing of beauty
BTW In anticipation of Klay's return, I did a breakdown of Q4 of Game 6 OKC. It was 1 hr 27 min raw, it's currently 1 hr 16 minutes with a few plays cut, probably more like 50-60 min when fully edited down.
I *think* it's all interesting, but it's probably drifting into Apocalypse Now / Heart of Darkness territory. Currently planning to edit it into a three part series of 15-20 min each.
smelled my English muffin burning while scanning the comments, jumped up, ran into the kitchen and found myself saying to my fancy toaster “What were you thinking!), what kind of a world has this become
I liked JP’s thoughts on Draymond yelling at him after a defensive mistake.
=====
“It’s really just coaching,” Poole said. “That’s all it is. Everybody has a different style. Some people are laid back, want to bring you to the side and casually talk to you. Others are loud and want to jump in your face and scream and get their point across. All you gotta do is take what the main piece is out of it, fix it and keep pushing. I was trying to get back in the play, Draymond had him, I fouled. It happens. He said whatever he said. We keep it pushing.”
That answer came two days after the fact. What does Poole feel in the moment? Is it an eye-roll? Does he find it funny?
“That he doing all the screaming?” Poole said. “For sure, bro. For sure. He doing all the screaming and yelling and, it’s like, I would’ve listened to you if you whispered it. You know what I’m saying? But that’s who he is as a person. The energy gets going, the emotions are up during the game, you just take it with a grain of salt. You can’t sulk or get in your feelings. He’s essentially just teaching and everyone is a different kind of teacher.”
I actually think the sixers are the class of the East with everyone healthy, especially if Morey can get off his arse and move Simmons for something of value. That guy is such a waste of space
Beli is killing us the past few weeks. He’s a fiasco out there

Lol, and going into the season we thought the center position was a weak spot:

All I read in that article was you’re getting a new motorcycle! Woohoo
OT: A bunch of guilty verdicts in the killing Ahmaud Arbery.

From the same article quoted by Duby,
I liked JP’s thoughts on Draymond yelling at him after a defensive mistake.

Not every 22 years old take it this way.
