When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Nestled in the woods there are three small cottages built by Sky Cave Retreats, which runs "darkness retreats." People are left alone in a room with basic necessities — food, water, a bathroom and a bed— but they are alone, in darkness, for days, cut off from the outside world. Gobert, who meditates frequently on his own, entered a small door that led to a room underground, where he spent the next 64 hours: three nights and two days. He spent a lot of time pondering the Wolves' defense. A few weeks after Gobert's retreat, he returned to Minnesota and had dinner with Finch. "I told him about everything that was in my mind."

Just checked, Zion drives to the elbow and he kinda starts a shot...sorta...but the ball gets tapped away and goes way in the air and out of bounds.

Announcers still call him 10/10 after it.

Official scorer changed it to block at some point.

Yeah it was a deflection that was counted as a block, apparently. The tv camera angle was bad so it could have gone either way.

Gary payton jr had that warriors champ season and the tank season. Probably will never come close to those two. Warriors role playing legend.

Lesson to young ballers

Do not play defense. It gets you hurt. Check out rob williams if you dont believe me.

Stats should be awarded by 10s. A 35/5/6/153/whatever game pales in comparison to 20/10. And holy poo poo if you get 10 blocks too.

Steals and blocks should count by 5s but count double for each additional five.

I'm reading torn right calf? Could mean a lot of things. Probably less of a concern with how long he''d be ouyt and more of a concern that the next injury is going to be more likely and more severe.

I think changing point differential to something like Quarters won would be better.

Because yeah man it's pretty bad form imo to have teams just run the score up in obvious blowouts.

Other than that I like it.

Have it be the main point. 3pts for a win, +1 for each quarter won. Would make the whole thing more exciting.

But yeah it's generally a solid format. I'd also have some quibbles about scheduling and format but it's been way more stuff done right than wrong.

I don't particularly care about it if it happens naturally, but like the notion of keeping your starters in a blowout risking injury and beating up on the opponents end of bench is just the dumbest thing in the world.

Like imagine if Jason Tatum had injured himself in that blow out trying to run up the score.

It just leads to really dumb situations.

I don't think it needs to be incentivized in that way.

Blowouts are fine, but in the last 5 minutes you don't need your starters trying hard to score when you're already up 17.

Magic are getting solid production out of their top 7 guys. F. Wagner is positive sharing the court with every teammate except Banchero and Anthony Black. Banchero's been a lot more mixed - he's very positive with benchier players like Ingles, Bitadze, Gary Harris, and has been negative so far this season when playing with Cole Anthony and either Wagner.

I dunno if it's enough of a sample size to mean much, though.

edit: Also, F. Wagner and Banchero are only the top two scores in PPG. Per 36 minutes, Banchero is 4th behind M. Wagner and Cole Anthony.
