Yeah he did a stupid travel into a bad shot then clanked it but either way it's a middle schooler and who cares because you can teach those fucks all you want and they'll still do that in game

It’s not about talking poo poo about a player, it’s these highlight clips of some dude doing an illegal move and missing a shot because it’ll get engagements. It’s not like KD is just shouting at kids in middle school games.

Prove he isn’t

Same and it's not that they can be coached to avoid it it's that human beings tend to panic and do stupid poo poo with inexperience. Stands to reason that middle schoolers would do something undisciplined even when coached against it.

my issue is less with the player himself than with that player's coach, the ref, and more immediately, the twitter account with literally a million followers gassing up that clip like lol what are we doing here

The move is a double dribble no matter how you attempt it, so I have a problem with the player. If you’re going to do a stupid useless move at least make it one that has a chance of not being a turnover.

The funniest thing is that, if the audio is in sync, then the opposing coach (???) knew the kid was going to pull that move ahead of time.

Well the NHL also has 7-8 teams in Canada, and that probably factored into the decision.

The NHL has a built in holiday from the 24-26 anyways so it’s probably easier for them to extend the break than for the NBA to lose a marquee game day.

Lol. I think it's actually his own coach saying it's a travel about half a second before he pulls off the move.

He's seen this poo poo before in practice and is :doh:

The good news is that the preliminary data suggesting its less symptomatic is holding up well.

It's also holding up that being vaxxed (and especially boosted) further reduces your symptoms, even with Omicron, correct?

Does that help explain how so many of the athletes are exiting protocols so fast? (I don't think they're necessarily fudging those yet; I think it's more likely that there's a ton of triple vaxxed athletes that're shaking symptomatic Omicron in no time)

Yes, this is correct.

Honestly it wouldn't shock me if Omnicron is way more widespread than we think but it isn't caught as much because of the lesser symptoms while vaccinated so people aren't getting tested. Players get tested frequently, symptoms or not.

The Jazz lost three out of four quarters but still got the W.

I’m just happy they snuck in a win. Bad enough to drop two at home after an 8 game streak. Three? We would riot. And by riot I mean voice displeasure on their social media outlets.

It's a very Tatum-esque shot + make and I'm being complimentary.

I want the mid-range to come back (with modern rules).
