@etspaceman89 I love his podcast, just think his writing was revolutionary for the time.
I’m fairly critical of the pod because it’s one of my favorites.

The issue is Zach Lowe doesn’t write anymore and podcasting has a lower threshold for preparation.
The r/BillSimmons Podcast@rBillSimmonsPod
A "Top 1%" Zach Lowe fan says his podcasts have become "grating and unlistenable" And offers a breakdown of the supposed issues

The reactions to this quote show how big the divide is from fan perception and internal perception.

Asked Chris Finch what it's been like removing Mike Conley from the rotation. "It's been one of the hardest things I've ever done in coaching, to be honest with you... Particularly with who he is as a person and a professional, and everything that he's done for us. Feels like a crime against humanity"
English
@GrantMN3 He had like 2 games where we were like "oh man did we find someone?!", and then that was it
English
@etspaceman89 we all know he was what got the rudy trade over the finish line

that shit say leandro bolmaro?

@JonKrawczynski Jonny, Could say the same thing for…. Joan Beringer Terrance Shannon Jr Jaylen Clark Josh Minot Wendell Moore Jr Leonard Miller Luka Garza Leandro Bolmaro Jaylen Nobel Jarrett Culver In Minnesota…Think, what is the common denominator for all of these players… Think Think

This was an interesting coverage that the Celtics deployed early on and I see how it resulted in a turnover by Donte. Notice Queta stays in a deep drop, while Tatum switches onto Donte. White peels onto Rudy. Donte sees and tries to kick to Jaden but White anticipates.
English
This was a particularly interesting find for me after listening to @DaneMooreNBA and @JaceFrederick 's segment on what Rudy needs to do for the Wolves to make a big run. One item? The offensive glass.
English
Rudy Gobert's OREB numbers pop here as well. He is leading the league post ASB in this category.
Some of that is due to other Wolves players being less efficient, giving him more opportunity. Still, it stands out.

Timberwolves post ASG statistics — Julius Randle's efficiency has tanked. — Jaden McDaniels is seeing regression to the mean with his 3P shooting. — Naz Reid is amidst a shooting slump after a torrid January. — Bones Hyland's 3P shooting has popped. — Kyle Anderson at 16.9 MPG.

Great fit in Chicago obviously. But there's some other teams that fit this mold as well. Indiana, Golden State, Miami, Atlanta and Utah all fit this mold as well.
English
The Bulls have a really tiny roster construction, and lack true 5s. So he's been given the role for the rest of the season. I love that he's been able to put something on tape. And I see a future for him on teams that value pace from their bigs.
English
Leonard Miller has been given a real opportunity to showcase his skillset in Chicago. He's been up to the task.
I've always seen him as a tweener 5, and I think these clips show his value in the painted area.
English
@badanglebball Yeah I try not to look ahead too much in these because you never know what each round will bring. Injuries and upsets can and will change the whole landscape. So if I'm looking at it, I'm purely looking at the first round.
English
@etspaceman89 To me the most enticing thing is SA in the second round as opposed to OKC just because they haven’t been there before. But there won’t be an easy route in the west and the spurs have been a machine as well
English
Not every statistical outlier is representative on film. Ayo is a great example.
And not every impactful player comes through in the metrics. Look at someone like Kyle Anderson, who clearly provides value but it's nowhere to be seen in many metrics.
English
Stats and analytics have come a long way in basketball. But that doesn't make it a source of truth.
If you see some statistical outliers, try to understand why by watching film. And conversely if you see something that pops on film, try to see how it measures.
Chris Hine@ChristopherHine
Respect the spreadsheets crowd, but the Ayo stuff reminds me a bit of what Tim Connelly faced when deciding to re-sign Naz Reid after the 22-23 season. Reid was -6.5, -6.7, -7.8 the previous 3 seasons per Cleaning the Glass in on/off. Connelly trusted his eyes over the sheets.

@ChristopherHine Who’s the Bones Hyland of the Wolves writer beat? 😂

Preparing my newsletter for this week (focus is on Bones!) Send me questions for the mailbag...

I liked when Aragorn chopped the Uruk-Hai's head off with a sword

i think lotr still holds the title for ‘most overtly conservative work by a hardcore right winger the lefty fans of which aggressively attempt to pretend aligns with their principles’ but dune has gotta be up there too i think
