@francistennn The problem with this is the sample size is too small for most players.

you’d prob get a more realistic greatest scorers list by sorting for Game 6–7 elimination game performance — not bc it’s a perfect sample, but bc it’s the one of the best individual scoring stress tests players get after two-ish weeks of a defense being keyed on their tendencies

Change it back to how it was from 1994-2018 and don’t let teams get top 3 picks in consecutive drafts and watch the tanking convo completely disappear.

One more thing on NBA lottery reform ⬇️ The current odds, established in 2019, are already significantly flattened from the odds the league used from 1994 to 2018 That change did not reduce the tanking problem
English
I don’t understand why two Playoff teams can get the No. 1 pick
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Here’s how the new lottery odds will look: (h/t @LevAkabas )
English
I like aspects of the NBA anti-tanking proposal, but I'm wary of flattened lottery odds, since flattening the odds in 2019 actually led to more tanking
An 8.1% chance at the No. 1 pick for the 11-seed seems like a strong incentive to do exactly what the Bulls did this year
English
also feels like one of the reasons the NFL draft is able to be a huge event that casual fans engage with is because it’s very simple

@MZavagno11 @BillMonty_ If that’s the case tanking isn’t an issue.
English
@BillMonty_ The worst teams are not capable of winning consistently. Thats the whole point of being bad
English
This is genuinely terrible
- Punishes the worst teams (and keeps them bad). Fails to acknowledge teams can be bad without actively tanking
- Moves the tank clearly to the 4-10 window which will do nothing to fix the watchability of March basketball
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA has disclosed to its 30 GMs a singular new anti-tanking reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds, and have a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. ESPN details: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

YIMBYism has existed for long enough that we're now seeing success stories from cities that adopted pro-housing policy.
After legalizing middle housing, Portland is seeing new construction (2024-now) townhomes & 2-6-plex units selling for $300-$400k.
The starter home is back!

@blazers_palace You were not there. This is confirmation bias.

One thing I noticed last night is just how generic the crowd looked/sounded. I could be wrong, but Rip City needs to be better. I get it, the game sucked. But to me just looked like a regular season game

now learning that wordle has something called “hard mode” which appears to be a version of wordle that requires less thinking. interesting!
English
no sympathy for people who do the worldle like this. just a fundamental misunderstanding of what game you’re playing. pathetic

I’m not even joking this is worse than 9/11

@Noahpinion Are you fucking stupid? How the fuck would you conduct air strikes in mainland China without the war necessary to clear airspace?
English
Yes. Ironically, the Iran war may deter China, even if we lose
Joe McReynolds@McReynoldsJoe
The big counterpoint to this: PRC analysts have noted in various fora that we're more aggressive/successful at leadership decapitation strikes than they'd expected. "You win Taiwan, but the top 3 layers of your leadership all die" isn't that attractive a trade for Xi I'm guessing

@sircalebhammer You’re next if you keep postering to the cultural online right. Dumbass.

Not even taking his side. I literally have no idea what his controversy is and can’t find it lol

What did he do? I feel like the internet just decides to hate someone after they are popular long enough, for no reason.

@hagaetc Classic management completely misunderstanding an obvious finding and oversimplifying concepts.

@D_West30 This footage is a litmus test to see if you ACTUALLY know basketball.

Bruh. Rub 3 for Scottie. Turn 4 for Malone. Chicago for MJ. Drop 3 for Scottie. Ucla Rub for Hornacek. Rub for Mj. Turn 4 for Malone. Two different systems. You are correct. The game has evolved into everybody playing the same way.
Sam Vecenie@Sam_Vecenie
I am just kinda staggered how someone can watch these three minutes, see the total lack of off ball offensive movement compared to today's game (as well as the lack of help defense), and say "look at the sets." No disrespect to these guys either, basketball has just evolved.

@redrock_bball The bad men (ESPN) won’t let us drop him Josh. Crippling.

Grimes a must. Maxey can be dropped for a lot of cases
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has been diagnosed with a tendon injury in his right pinkie finger and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, sources tell ESPN. Maxey received additional images and specialist reviews after injuring his right hand Saturday in Atlanta.

Sinnoh dex
I love this dex. Amazing starters, amazing legendaries and my goat lucario. This gen introduced so many great new evolutions. The only downside is the lack of fire types but overall, a GREAT dex
Ranking:
1st: sinnoh
2nd: hoenn
3rd: kanto
4th: johto
khazar@khazarAntlers
Hoenn dex Yeah I like it. Tho i wouldn’t say it’s "one of the best" dex ever like everyone else but i will say it consistently has good Pokemon. Also my reason for my beef with flygon is a bit petty but its because of the fucking "mega flygon" people won’t stfu about

Are you and Gavin going to take turns shocking animals and swearing loyalty to the CCP or just do it at the same time?
I gave 2 very relevant comparisons to an appearance with you. And any GOO politician that tried to normalize those lunatics would deserve the backlash.
hasanabi@hasanthehun
this kind of stuff is so silly because gavin newsom has literally spoken to charlie kirk ben shapiro & steve fucking bannon but ofc those guys are “establishment” & pro israel enough to not be a real problem for the likes of this dipshit.
