I'm predisposed to like him because he's a local that doesn't appear to be an rear end in a top hat, but the rough shooting start from him and the rest of the team really bummed me out. Thankfully, between he, Hield, and Moore, the Pels usually have one hot hand going at the off guard spot to help chip in. If all off them are off, the Pels aren't winning a game.

You can't stop what's coming

quote:

For years, NBA teams have sold 10-game plans for fans that don't want to commit to buying a whole season worth of games. On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks will announce that they're offering a 10-win plan.

That's right, guaranteed wins.

In a package that will go on sale Tuesday through Jan. 11, the Bucks will sell fans a ticket pass for $149 that will begin on Jan. 13 against the Miami Heat and will be active until the Bucks win 10 home games. The location of the seats will vary from game to game, depending on what's available. Fans will get their ticket on the day of the game through the team's app.

I'd do that

All Twolves tickets have to go through a stub-hub-like website called flashseats, no more paper tickets. Except its a giant pain in the rear end. When buying from a scalper they have to now ask what phone you have and run you through a tutorial on how the app works.

On top of that, because Flash Seats are affiliated with the team, they can set a minimum price that the tickets can sell for (because the team wants you to buy unsold tickets instead) so season ticket holders can't even get rid of half the games they don't want to go to. And because you don't have a physical copy of the ticket you can't even give the drat things away to a friend or whatever if you just wanted to do that instead.

How do you show the gate people a ticket if it doesnt exist?

They scan your phone, or you go to the box office to get a ticket at the game.

It's linked to an account in their app so you whip out your phone and they scan you in off of that, I think.

I can't say for sure, I stopped going to games when they put it in place last year.

You just gotta pick a sideline seat between the time lines or free throw lines and view are great from balcony seats. Unless the Bradley center is just that terrible.

You don't get to pick your seat, you get assigned each game. And the Bradley Center was built in the 80s for hockey.

It's a discretely curved seat designed so that seatback cameras can take regular upskirt, and when a sensor is covered by a lean, downblouse photos, which are then posted to the season ticket holders only premium site, with a dynamic url that's sent via text

Quite frankly, it's perverted and wrong, and the Timberwolves ownership and operations personnel should be censured by the league, until the site is either made public for all wolves fans or closed permanently

I don't know if it was mentioned yet but KAT had a TS of 118% last night which disproves the theory that you miss every shot you don't take. Suck it Gretzky.

I always swipe the card I used to buy the tickets. Then they print up a ticket stub right there.

It's about loving time that someone did it. "Hey, do I want to be a terrible free-throw shooter, or a good one? Hmm. I think I'd rather look cool and miss. Yeah, let's go with that."

Good to see the underhanded shot. Mechanically it makes perfect sense for super huge dudes to get lower release and better arc shots.

I'm curious to see where he ends up. He's at 67% in the D-League on a small sample size. At least that's enough for hack-a not to make sense and a 10% improvement over his college FT%, but it'd be cool if he gets better at it.

I mean he's still not great, I think he went from ~48% to ~58%

e: 47% to 59%

But he only took 86 total free throws in college so eh

Worrell saying he went from bad to excellent is typical hyperbole from him though

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

The new CBA has a stipulation that provides for a 'referee complaint hotline' that players can call.

Really excited for the first player to mime putting a phone up to his ear running back up the court when he thinks he's been fouled and it doesn't get called
