@SlamLenz @HPbasketball The Pacers were SO GOOD, they really could have won the series. One of the most surprising and cool things in sports ended by one of the most brutal and poorly timed injuries.

@HPbasketball I think it was the playoff run. Little inconsistent based on how dominant they were in the regular season. Part of that was Jdubs health. Another part was how young the team was. I also think people continue to underrate how hellish it was to play the Pacers

I'm really interested by the idea that the Thunder are, objectively, an All-Time team. Wins. Point Differential. Defense. Defense with Offensive Capability. Led by MVP. Depth. Coaching. Culture. Execution. But they do not feel like the all-time great teams *to me* and I do not know why. (Thunder fans, I get they fell like that to you and that people SHOULD view them that way. Read the first part again.) If you're not a Thunder fan, does OKC feel like an all-time great team on par with Warriors 2016, 2017, or say, Heat 2012 (who were objectively much worse than OKC), OKC 2014, 01 Lakers, etc? If not, why not?

@spelunky_ My 1 year old son agrees. He asks me to google all types of balls all the time! Basketballs, baseballs, footballs etc

@hutch_golf @EliteGolfDad It almost certainly is under the hood but the prgr got very little marketing and was a device only us sickos knew about. I think the screen and marketing from shot scope will indeed sell a bunch of these.

I’m playing in a little club tournament tomorrow and asked my ai golf coach to give me an hour-by-hour breakdown of what to do between now and the tee time. It has all the context of recent practice, workouts, Oura scores, etc… Pretty happy with the recommendations here

@JoeyPascoMTG I have this a bit with both arena and mtgo. Something about it being a faceless, personality less opponent getting lucky that drives me insane. IRL I can at least see somebody having a good time and I don’t want to ruin their good time (unless they’re a shitty opponent)

Weird phenomenon I've been subtly feeling ever since I started playing Magic on Arena (in 2017?) Anyone else noticed this or feel this way? (Beware of salt)

I think the Thunder are the best team in the NBA and the only safe bet to win it all, but... While their +18.4 net rating leads the NBA... Their +1.6 net rating against top 10 teams is 6th (and their three total games against the top 10 is the lowest total in the league).

@trekeitheon It’s not a “non-negotiable” but a short pitch and putt course is awesome for beginners or just walking with a beer on summer evenings. Could be 3 holes each under 100 yards but with interesting greens.

If I’m building a golf course today, these are the 5 non negotiables. 1. No residential housing 2. No carts 3. Club house between first nine and second nine 4. At least one Turtle back and one bowl green 5. At least one drivable par 4 What am I missing?

@ThunderChats Was watching nuggets game last night. The Denver broadcasters straight up orgasmed when Jokic got his 10th rebound for the triple double lol.

I swear the same dudes that called Russ’s triple double run in the OKC days arbitrary are using it as a means to prop up Jokic now

@EliteGolfDad @BryanTweed16 Agreed. I really thought callaway would be able to turn top golf into a funnel for new golfers buying callaway golf equipment but that never materialized.

@BryanTweed16 I don’t really think TopGolf has had much of an effect on the game itself. They’ve created a fun activity for non-golfers, but I’m not sure it’s brought people into the game.

🚨🚨🚨#GOLFCHAT QUESTION #5🚨🚨🚨 TopGolf Callaway made news today with its sale of 60% of its business to private equity to focus on their equipment & apparel brands. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think its been a positive or negative influence on the game? #GolfChat

@EliteGolfDad I guess my argument is that I don’t want to over correct and accidentally turn away good people. I’d rather let in a few assholes if it means the game I’ve come to love is open for everyone to try! But that’s just me, seems like Germany successfully implemented your model.

@spence0016 @Top100Rick No. You said yourself you were self aware about etiquette when you started, which implies you WANT to do things the right way. You’re not the problem.

Saw this in the cart return yesterday. Didn’t even leave a $5 on the scorecard clip. Same guys who piss all over bathrooms and consider it job security for janitors. Scumbags.

@EliteGolfDad @Top100Rick It’s really shitty to see people trash a course or play at a 6 hour pace or whatnot. But I always get a little sad or offended when I see “shrink the game” because I was a new covid golfer and it feels like it’s saying 2020 me was not welcome 😔

@spence0016 @Top100Rick We had to do this as juniors at my country club growing up before we could play the course on our own. If a 10 year old can do it, an adult certainly can.

@Top100Rick @EliteGolfDad Oh I’m in board there. And honestly I was nervous the first time I signed up as a single that I’d really mess up some sort of etiquette thing. A basic guide or video would be good I think.

@Top100Rick I will absolutely die on the hill that all golfers should have to take an etiquette course, pass a test, and have at minimum five professional observed rounds played before they can step foot on a golf course by themselves. Shrink.

What do you guys think of a tech-enabled golf bag strap? Stitch and Bushnell have unveiled a $250 bag strap. Built in is a digital screen GPS and a Bluetooth speaker. If you are the type to use a speaker and gps anyway, it actually makes sense. One thing is for sure, golfers have money and love to spend it, so expect to see some at your course!
