@Alei_ATM @TheHoopCentral And yet, as I said, his teammates need to step up because entire Timberwolves team can concentrate only on Jokic. But now is too late, maybe next season...

@makeiteasy1982 @TheHoopCentral The problem for Jokic is precisely the number of times he has faced Rudy, who already knows the Serbian's entire offensive repertoire and is even used to it. Now, that doesn't mean he will stop Jokic, but at some points he will frustrate him.

RUDY GOBERT LOCKS UP NIKOLA JOKIC
ELITE DEFENSE

@BrickCenter_ There was no NBA team that won playoffs with only 1 elite player. His teammates needs to step up. With current state rivals will try to close Joker and Denver will be shut down.
English
@sivixio193875 @ZDS_22 @TheHoopCentral The difference is that Joker get called maybe 10% of foulbaits, SGA gets 90%
English
@ZDS_22 @TheHoopCentral Look at the stats before you say something stupid.
English
@TheHoopCentral Yet people will still say Jokic is the best in the world because he’s a white European
English
@KevinOConnor If Jokic gets fauls like SGA he would have scored 40 every night.

Nikola Jokic is now 5/24 from 3 in the series. Huge issue for Denver:
Jokic shot 32% from 3 ever since his return from injury in January. He was at 44% prior and 42% last year. No matter the cause of the huge decline, the end result is that the 3-pointer has abandoned him for months.
It’s hurting the Nuggets offense since the Timberwolves can sag off Jokic to clog the paint. And Jokic isn’t making up for it since Rudy Gobert is also locking him down any time he’s inside and he’s making uncharacteristic sloppy passes. To make matters worse, he’s not getting stops on defense either.
Hard to feel any good about Denver’s chances unless Jokic stops having the worst playoff series of his career.

@ShaiFuckLukaGF @M8490319742510 @KevinOConnor I thought you talking about FT merchant Shai, 20+ ft per game, even gets fouls when a wind blows :)
English
@M8490319742510 @KevinOConnor Jokic 7/26 from the field 11/11 freethrows
disgusting foul merchant can only score from the freethrow line.
gets exposed without the golden nuggets whistle. you arent allowed to touch him.
ofcourse he has good fg% in the regular season #GreatWhiteHope

@DocScaminaci @nexta_tv Does it mean that the same approach should be for USA for illegal attack on Iran?
English
@nexta_tv No Russian shoud be allowed to visit or compete in anything outside of Russia. They should be treated as pariah.

🟥 Russian gymnast turns her back during Ukraine’s anthem
At the World Cup stage in Sofia, 15-year-old Russian gymnast Sofia Iltyeryakova, competing under a “neutral” status, stood with her back to the flags during the medal ceremony.
The anthem was played for the winner — Ukraine’s Taisiia Onofriichuk. Ukraine’s gymnastics federation calls it a violation of ethics and Fair Play, demanding she be banned from international competitions.

@TheTennisLetter Competition is so weak now, only Alkaraz and grandpa Novak. During time of Fed, Nadal and Nole there was really strong Medvedev, Murray, Vavrinka, Del Potro...

The moment Jannik Sinner broke Novak Djokovic’s record for the most consecutive sets won in Masters 1000 events by a man.
25 in a row.
Unbelievable.

@tito_szn_ @realapp Hahha, Shai? 30+ free throws per game, flopper at its finest

@LegionHoops Jaylin should thank God because refs and other players calm the situation down, otherwise he would have watched brawl from the floor.

@martinkrung @denys_khomyn @jack @blocks Yeah? Than capitalism should be changed, more profit = more rise for employees, not only the owner should profit from that. Otherwise make them pay much more taxes.
English
@denys_khomyn @jack @blocks It's called capitalism, as employee you should understand what it means.
English
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.
