Bashez posted:That's brutal to hold someone going over a screen and them get a freethrow out of it. That's usually considered part of the play today, it just doesn't mean ball handler, it specifically isn't screeners. quote:When the ball is inbounds, including when the ball has been released on a throwin, if a defensive player makes illegal contact with an offensive player who is not directly involved in the action (i.e., the player doesn’t have the ball and he is not moving to receive a pass or setting a screen), an away-from-the-play foul is called. It would be unlikely to come up outside of intentional fouling situations, and when it does its usually because of situations where someone is committing a frustration foul or they know they are getting burned, etc.

EvanTH posted:Why would seemingly every respected media company converge to present a misleading narrative? Yellow journalism, misinformation and disinformation happen for many reasons. Human error, human laziness, political pressure from a variety of sources, pleasure in lying (yes, some people in news organizations, when caught, have admitted to derive enjoyment in lying to the public), groupthink, erroneous sources with made-up stories. There are other reasons but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. EvanTH posted:What benefit is there to telling people the Democrats were not complicit and encouraging of mass financial malfeasance? Potentially $$$ kickbacks, political self-aggrandizement, careerism, not rocking the boat, direct requests from c-level executives and upper echelon politicians. Observing the characters in the following films should fill in most gaps on political deception/TV/newspaper/general media issues concerning your current questions: Ace in the Hole All the King's Men (1949) The Battle of Algiers Broadcast News Citizen Kane Cutter's Way A Face in the Crowd Network The Parallax View Spotlight Sweet Smell of Success Z A dozen is plenty. EvanTH posted:And what should anyone make of this trend? A trend is developing based on Trump's media proclamations and the coverage he's getting. Trump says the media is bad so R opinion plummets and vice-versa with the Ds. Mass media has changed over the years. TV news departments used to not be so much about profit many years back. Obviously that has changed. EvanTH posted:Are sports is the only place where humans really try to balance our ideals of fair and lawful, everything in front of the refs eyes, and still take into account the human tendency to test the limits of every rule in an effort to succeed? Humans try to balance ideals through rules and ideologies all over the place but it never works perfectly. EvanTH posted:Is that why people turn the games into grand historical institutions, vaunted histories, cherished collective memories, statues and plaques lining the memorial halls for the honored ancestors?Or is it just because dunks and dingers are deeply sick and it feels right and good to catch a ball ? Also, how can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased? I don't think that's a primary reason. Sports are entertainment because athletes are doing stuff constantly that the average person cannot. Sports history is rife with cheating and disgraceful junk that is not popular today. Only massive amounts of time (if ever). There is not consensus on these issues. Watch A Brief History of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYnHtEXJOjA if you haven't already.

euphronius posted:Ben Simmons is starting at the 1 lol He's playing with two guards, a forward, and a center and is guarding Jeff Ennis so he could be listed as the 4 and that lineup would be exactly the same. He wants to be listed as PG and it doesn't matter at all so that's what they are doing. Also Simmons looks loving awesome.

Fast Luck posted:Was this GM poll from before the lottery reform? Who will win the 2017-18 Rookie of the Year? 1. Lonzo Ball, L.A. Lakers – 62% 2. Ben Simmons, Philadelphia – 24% 3. Dennis Smith Jr., Dallas – 7% Also receiving votes: De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento; Jayson Tatum, Boston Even the 76ers GM picked Ben Simmons over Markelle Fultz, so you can't expect the other GMs to pick Markelle Fultz over Ben Simmons. 19 GMs picked Lonzo Ball 7 GMs picked Ben Simmons 2 GMs picked Dennis Smith Jr. De'Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum got one vote each likely by their respective GMs. So it also means that the Suns, Bulls, and Magic have no confidence in their high draft pick either.
