@rocknrollofall Just listened to Acadian Driftwood another great song that connect to history
English
"Possibly the most moving song about the tragedy of the American Civil War, sung by a son of the South but written by a Jewish/Native American from Canada with a rare gift indeed."
The Band performing 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' live at Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, The Last Waltz.

@Benjpaul2k @JimmyTraina It works. I had customers ask the price of products , I would say 20 bucks if it was 19.99
And they would argue it was only 19.99 or I would add the tax 7% - and say 21.40 and they were shocked.
English
I have legitimately many times had people tell me something was a price, and it was the first number in a X.99. It has a very noticeable marketing effect to trick the brain into thinking items are cheaper than they are. I try my best to not do that myself but I am sure subconsciously I have been tricked even marginally.
English
Why do gas stations still do the 9/10ths thing? Are there really people who don’t think $3.99 and 9/10 isn’t $4. Just make it $4 and cut the shit already.
English
@UKenerley @Jannelle12 I couldn’t believe it - it looked like he was expecting a pass.
English
@Jannelle12 Pods wanted to be the hero so he refused to help Steph who was on a hot streak and shooting a hell of a lot better than Podz. If I was the coach pods would be sitting down for two games. Hell at this point Spencer is better than podz.
English
And people wonder why Podz is booed at every turn. Look at this shit! This was supposed to be a double screen. Out of that should’ve been either a better look on a relocate for Steph or someone getting into the paint on a slip but no
English
@NickFriedell Podz man why not screen why dray signal to you to screen to Steph
English
Steph misses at the buzzer -- he finishes with 29 points in 26 minutes. He was 11-for-21 from the field and 5-for-10 from beyond the arc. A little rusty in the beginning but going rolling late.
English
@lightyrspod @TommyGunnNBA @AndyKHLiu Find out what the F Podz was doing on the last shot. Expecting a pass?

@samesfandiari Not to mention changing defense against the Celtics to collapse on Brown andcTatum and make them be playmakers. Celts changed whole offensive strategy - went to 5 out to unlockmtheirvoffense.
English
I think ESPN specifically really did a disservice to fans explaining what happened in 2015. Grizzlies series was won when GSW decided to put a center on Tony Allen (and wings on ZBo/Gasol who were killing them) and Cavs series was over minute they stopped tryin to match size and went small with speed.
Nate Duncan@NateDuncanNBA
Emphasized more ball movement and most importantly reads and improvisation offensively-concepts more than sets. First high level team that switched a lot and went small doing it. First high profile putting center on wing non-shooter. First offense built on off ball movement for 3s.
English
@LawMurrayTheNU @owaddled The apocryphal story was he was pouring concrete or shoveling gravel or something and it was an off court injury.
English
@Blogless1380 @owaddled All that and you still only got 12 seasons of Prime Bird before his body was toast
English
Basketball players who got hurt in the 60s and 80s were disappeared
And there wasn’t nearly the same number of players getting to and past Year 15
And there wasn’t any social media asking why certain players just fell off lol
SaveYourSelfBlackMan@NoMoreMatrix
@mdotbrown The 60s and 80s had an even faster pace than this era. Why weren't they dealing with these injuries? I personally think these guys come in half dead from being ran into the ground in AAU
English
@owaddled @LawMurrayTheNU Agree, I rewatched a 84 Lakers /Celtics and couldn’t get over how everything was condensed. Also Bird and Magic were incredible. The are not given their due now as everyone who has recency bias . These dudes were6-9 and could frickin handle
English
@Blogless1380 @LawMurrayTheNU I'd like to see it too, wonder what the furthest distance guys had to close out to a shooter was. I'm doubtful it was 22 feet.
English
@Blogless1380 Upon further review. I don't think so. Former basketball player in Nigeria.
English
Me, and Trent Baalke are going nuts about him 👍😊👌😂
Lance Zierlein@LanceZierlein
Here were his measurements and testing. The greatest combo of physical traits and athletic performance/testing I've ever seen. He's extremely raw and just started playing so he's a practice squad type at best but teams bet on traits so he he could be a late 7th or a PFA.
English
@V_L_T_D @ClappedCollins Masterclass of Warriors coaching and players finding the defense that stopped Celtics. After that game Boston changed their offensive strategy and became more dangerous.
English
@ClappedCollins Called inexperience. Tatum played awful but it’s the first time him and Brown got there vs a Team where the majority of key players were on team 22, 19, 18, 17, 15, 16, 15, 14 Finals
English
How on Earth did the Golden State Warriors win the championship in 2022 dude Klay was washed, Draymond ass, that roster was mid, the Celtics don’t get enough slander for losing to that crap
English
@TheChozen10427 @PLConnelly It’s because the NFL gets so much TV money that’s why they are profitable from just that income. It’s divided equally among all teams so thanks to the socialistic economics - KC and LA get the same check . They also gave a hard cap- unlike NBA/MLB
English
@PLConnelly The difference is that unfortunately the players run the nba. The shield/teams/owners run the NFL. If the Super Bowl is Green Bay vs Pittsburgh nobody nobody would be like “awe man no super market team”
English
I'm an NBA fan, have traveled 3 hrs to Grizzlies games, and had a great time. I've never understood this weird, self-defeating obsession w/ markets in NBA culture. Pundits, podcasters & players obsess about it like no other pro league. Should the Chiefs just move out of KC?
Raheem Palmer@iamrahstradamus
Everything in the NBA is obsessed with big markets to the point where it feels like people only want teams in NY, LA, Miami & Houston. Oakland lost their team to San Francisco and the soul was completely sucked out of the Warriors’ home arena. Maybe, just maybe, having teams in some of those smaller markets where the real fans aren’t priced out is good for the league.

@Blogless1380 @20th_Centurygal Rolie could well be the best rhythm-guitarist-that-played-organ EVER!
While we're on that subject, Max Middleton was the best rhythm guitarist that Jeff Beck never had. Wow!

@thescorechicago @NickFriedell Drafting Pat Will with the 4th pick told me everything I needed to know about this front office long ago
English
.@NickFriedell on Bulls executives Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley: "These guys are terrible. They are one of the worst front offices I can ever remember in the NBA. And the fact that they're still going and it's still happening is a joke."

@joaquinmurphey @20th_Centurygal I love the organ at the beginning of “ oye como va”
English
@AndrewBrandt Wasn’t Sam Bradford the reason the hole rookie scale was changed? Special wing for that. Then Deshaun Watson’s BHOF contract led to collusion ( cough cough) for lack of guaranteed years.
