Our society really has fully embraced the whole innocent-before-guilty principle, haven't they.

Seriously. It's like the innuendo someone posted the other day based on the word "balls". If you're searching that hard, you're going to find a lot of double-entendres every single game.

Calabro is the best, I'm surprised he isn't more widely recognized.

Why is he playing significantly below his career averages this season? Have the injuries taken their toll? Is he still not in good shape? Or is it too early in the season to make a judgment?

 

If the league significantly reduced the number of regular season games (such as 55-65), would players rest significantly less? Or is load management being used more like game theory optimization, acknowledging that the postseason is far more important than the regular season, so play the minimum number of games to stay sharp, develop team cohesion, and make the playoffs, while saving energy and avoiding a long-term injury for the playoffs as best possible?

Do commenters here realize that placing a bet on something 100-1 or 40-1 is fuckin miles from betting that it will "probably" happen?

Tough question.... initial reaction is Butler/Booker.

But logically one of the two should be a big man, and he or the other should have a high number of touches per game, since Jokic would fill both those roles.

Maybe LeBron and Bam? Hot take would be Lebron and AD due to the latter's availability, but that's surely too much.

Title had me concerned it might be a Spurs highlight without Wemby. Thankfully it was nothing of the sort, phew.
