Anarcho-Bidenism posted:Slightly off-topic but I don't think it really fits in the sports media thread, and it shouldn't cause a derail: Is the PDL patreon worth it? As a fellow idiot who doesn't like thinking hard I find the podcast makes ball more accessible to me. I mean there isn't secret insight behind the paywall but if you already like 1 hour of the banter a week and want another one and want your boner complemented then go for it.

Well worth it to hear Stavvy laugh every time Sam makes another outrageous claim about the Knicks.

CRT basketball was much more highly directed, as in close ups of players with the ball, choosing which area of the court to show on tv. Now it's all wide shots because tvs are huge. It's a pain for non ballers like me watching it on a laptop, but it's a boon when you're watching on a 20,000 dollar oled

Paul Pierce getting crossed up by Joe Johnson to the point where he's just crawling on the ground is iconic to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72L-BD2qY48 E: Here's the YES call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyhhrB9XLV0 Or I guess its not really crossing him up, its just dribbling well and making Pierce look foolish.

During dal-bos the other day an entire possession went by with the ball handler obscured by Celtics 4q stats taking up everything from the 3point line leftward

tatum and brown are both better than sabonis though the pacers are all of one game better in the standings it's not like they're having an amazing season where just playing for them would give you extra all star cred

Lockback posted:I dunno that Tatum is this year, at least it's not head and shoulders above. Jaylen definitely deserves it, though he's cooling off fast too. Tatum owns his shot selection is either just lovely/not falling. 260 shots from 3 feet to the 3pt line on 40% shooting is pretty inefficient but he's still getting to the rim at will and has a respectable 3pt clip.

Tatum not coming back full after Covid, Jaylen cooling off, Smart going down, and Kemba being dogshit is the full story. They whiffed hard on their last 2 major free agent signings due to injury problems, its not much more complicated than that.

Tatum seems more or less just as good as last year? He's just slightly less efficient but he's doing more and his passing is improved
