A brief thread on the Miami Heat’s 2-3 zone defense, the concepts they use, and why they work:

@bmotheprince @AnnaHorford @designer_smarf Seems like most people are buying within 2 hours of tip these days. Don’t trust the prices until at least game day and usually closer to game time. Source: I’ve had to sell most of my nosebleed playoff tickets this year due to family events.

@bmotheprince @AnnaHorford @designer_smarf On the other hand ticket prices last night were down to Hawks-series levels - well under face value. Maybe the team does need a little more support?

An average game report contains about 500-550 graded plays, per reporting I've done. I'll let folks use whichever adjectives they prefer to describe a gap of 9 errors from that sort of sample.

it’s cinco de mayo white people, do not put that sombrero on just don’t do it i know it’s calling to some of you like the green goblin mask but don’t do it

@jkcohen119 @KeithSmithNBA Probably because if he plays more than 20 minutes/game he needs to be put on ice for 2 weeks. Maybe over time he works up to 30. Maybe he is just a really good 20 min/game guy.

@KeithSmithNBA This is completely unrelated but why do you think Rob Williams only played 20 min last night? Wouldn’t it be to their advantage to have him match PJ Tucker so he can just roam and play help defense off of him and muck shit up?

Why do we believe this? The Celtics were bad at the end of close games under Brad Stevens and Ime Udoka and continue to be bad under Joe Mazzulla. Playoff games tend to be close at the end. This doesn't seem like something a coach fixes, when it's happened under three of them.

@porasidecirl0 @SeanGrandePBP 100% a knee thing. Hamstring attaches to the meniscus he had surgery on. Plus knee swelling can reduce range of motion in knee and lead to hammy tightness.

Malcolm Brogdon and Rob Williams both OUT tonight against New York.

@balajis Tbh chat bots still struggle to accurately answer my simple customer service questions. Forgive me if I’m skeptical of these “brilliant doctors” you speak of…

AI means a brilliant doctor on your phone. Who can diagnose you instantly, for free, privately, using only your locally stored medical records. Do you think the doctors will be happy about that? Or the lawyers? The artists? The others that AI disrupts? They’ll fight it. Hard.

For anyone wondering if they should let their meat rest after cooking but before cutting. I cooked two identical cuts of meat. The top one was cut immediately the bottom one rested for 15 minutes.

@JamPackard This is 100% a grinch suit

This really looks like he is wearing the Big Bird outfit

Hey @NFLOfficiating - as was pointed out to me by some people tonight just curious why you follow 31 of 32 NFL teams but not the @patriots? You are the impartial officiating & review branch of the league I presume, thanks.

Earlier this week, Tyrell Terry retired from the game of basketball at 22 years old. I was Tyrell’s agent. Give me a minute to unravel all this power. Thread: (1/7)

I learned by age 9 that I couldn't talk about suicidal thoughts because I would end up locked in a psych ward. We can't expect people to just "speak up" or "tell someone" in a country where discrimination, institutionalization, & incarceration of suicidal folks is 100% legal.

Qualified 3PT% leaders: Malcolm Brogdon - 49.4% Damion Lee - 48.9% Sam Hauser - 47.1% Brandon Ingram - 46.7% Al Horford - 46.6% Kelly Olynyk - 46.6% Corey Kispert - 46.2% Jerami Grant - 46.1% Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - 46% Josh Green - 46% Grant Williams - 46%

Seen people asking why there's Nazis in Indiana Jones 5 if it's set in the 60s and tbh I'm asking why there's Nazis out there right now in my world, set in the 2020s.

NFL is just guessing at this point No catch for Hunter Henry Catch for Travis Kelce #NEvsMIN #Patriots
