One of the things that has helped me most in this space is being very honest with myself about my knowledge level. The two ways you most get into trouble is pretending you know more about something than you do, and not trusting yourself enough when you do know a lot. Avoid both.

Matas Buzelis had no business going 11th in the 2024 draft. He's already shown how ridiculous that was. I think this is the year he shows us why he was in consideration for the 1st selection.

Swain's stance seems unnecessarily wide; you see his legs revert to a normal stance when he lands.

If you change lanes without using a turn signal, mail your driver's license back to the DMV. You aren't fit to drive.

A big part of driving is knowing how to sense when someone is about to switch lanes and cut you off without using their turn signal.

The Bulls project to be pretty terrible this year, but I also like almost all of their players, and they are finally being honest about who they are. Kind of excited about this season. I believe in Caleb, Dailyn, and Matas's potential and the club is rightfully focusing on them.

Dailyn Swain’s best passes of the night. The skip pass to Caleb in the corner was sick, and he ran Spain well. Intrigued to see how the off-the-bench ball-handling experiment goes.

Yet another negative consequence of sports betting. It's a plague that should be eradicated, not plastered on every show, podcast, and billboard.

The NFL, MLB, MLS, NBA and NHL joined with their respective players’ unions today to crack down on betting-related harassment of athletes, coaches and families.   “Threatening the safety of an athlete or their family members over a sports bet crosses a bright ethical and criminal line, and it is entirely unacceptable,” the group wrote to gaming regulators in 35 states and the District of Columbia.

Fans are the worst part of sports (see the comments section on this wholesome post). If you're an actual fan, you want every player on your team to succeed.

I read the full report. My two conclusions are: 1. I don't see how the Clippers can overcome this amount of evidence. 2. The level of casualness in which the Clippers executives operated suggests to me that there's other teams operating outside the cap rules.

Who cares? 7 more teams decided not to draft Hali, while the Pistons were dead set on Patrick Williams at 7 and the Spurs were trying to trade up to draft him first. It's pointless to try and pretend now that anyone knew for sure how these players would turn out. Move on.

Most of the Bulls scouts and draft room wanted to pick Tyrese Haliburton but Arturas Karnisovas was fixated on Patrick Williams, per @JCowleyHoops “Karnisovas didn’t even think Haliburton would be a top-four talent on the Bulls’ roster at the time.” (chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2…)

Official “what position is Giddey” rankings: 1. PG 2. SF 3. PF 4. SG 5. C
Michael Walton II@ZenMasterMikeJul 23
No I really do believe Giddey is a SG He is also one of the best passers in the league To me those things aren’t mutually exclusive so it’s not a big deal To you (and most) those things ARE mutually exclusive Hence the disconnect mate

Unless you believe that this guy, who scored 17 PPG on 63.6% TS and a .506 FTr almost all on self-created drives and ultra-efficient isolation, suddenly forgot how to put the ball in the basket overnight, then it’s too early to be reaching any conclusions about his NBA outlook.

Outside of Caleb Wilson, I have been painfully underwhelmed by this SL team, Noa and Dailyn included. Hard to watch.

Genuinely funny to watch people be shocked that Keaton Wagler can’t create separation off the dribble, as if it’s some shocking new revelation to anyone who has watched more than 30 seconds of film on him. Everyone knows, and he went 5th anyway. Maybe you should find out why.

My first reaction to the Brown-PG trade was, “reasonable deal, risk on both sides, and objectively the funniest place to trade Brown.” After days and days of reading wild discourse about it, my reaction remains the same, and the return/timing make a lot of sense to me.
