I cant even read the ringer. I dont know what to click on. Words float across the page on seemingly unrelated pictures. Shapes are presented in no seeming hierarchy. What is an article. What is an ad. What is a blog post. When was this media published. What does the editor think is important, the stuff at the top or the big stuff in the middle? or the stuff on the side? When anything loads to begin with. Its exhausting and not fun.

Talking about making sure he gets it to a guy with seams or no seams is like the Ted Williams tale trying to teach people to hit by telling them to watch the laces on the ball. Except this is actually true.

Like everything in this article was known before the draft what is the point of the ringer

To be fair, this article might be one of the more necessary things they've done. Most of the coverage of Chriss and Bender has been from Phoenix media, who at best are being silent, at worst presenting the idea that they're playing well right now. So having a more objective look at it is probably important.

I do wonder if Rose might retire at the end of the season. He doesn't seem to have much passion for the game anymore. His kid and friends are real important to him. If contracts this offseason are underwhelming, maybe he just calls it quits.

Since I read that seams thing a few weeks ago I'd been trying to pay attention to how much players have to adjust the ball after catching before shooting and the one thing I've really noticed is that Derrick Rose doesn't throw very good passes.

Melo throws super fast passes that occasionally catch his teammates by surprise and they'll drop it out of bounds. LeBron whips them just as quick, but I have to think that after playin' like 10 minutes with LeBron you start expecting the ball to just kind of appear in your hands once you start your cut.

I used to love going to museums and looking at the art before my feet fell off and now I can't but fortunately I still have LeBron's passing. Just look at this nonsense:

edit: here's some more versions, at around 25 seconds you can see LeBron misreading the play against the Spurs and getting caught ought of position going for a steal, then it swaps to LeBron running the play himself with that overhead flick:
