I talk about video games on the Deep Listens podcast https://deeplistens.libsyn.com/. Former freelancer at GiantBomb.com and Waypoint.
I'd love if they just picked the lowest hanging fruit and allowed the replay center in Secaucus to handle all replay reviews like the NFL has. Can we at least get faster reviews and clean ups for mistakes?

When the NBA doesn't enforce its rules in a clear and understandable way, people don't understand the rules. Same goes for off hand push offs, leg kicks, flopping penalties, and hand checking. What is and isn't legal is so unclear.

Because sometimes it's cool to see who did their scoring by just making shots.

Jokic being merely excellent in loses is wild. A lot of these numbers otherwise seem like role-players who usually suck on offense, but the team wins when they are actually useful on offense.

The most common profession for people who are 7ft tall is basketball player, but that's just because they have the gumption and drive that shorter people lack. It's not about genetic advantages at all.

The league begs people to take the tournament seriously, yet they inflict the tournament with the unseriousness of regular season schedules. It speaks volumes of how much the league actually cares about its product.

Have you tried the Pete method of texting yourself single words?

What a bottle. Ominous, yet elegant.

At least Derik Queen looks interesting. Maybe trading away a lottery pick in this season's draft ends up merely bad instead of catastrophic!

You can see the inflection point where the new CBA made paying mid-level vets untenable and replacing them with younger, less skilled guys made sense. If you're going to play more players who are similar skill levels, running more and playing the attrition game makes a lot of sense.

Dude won 3 hands of blackjack in a row and decided to bet his entire house on the 4th hand. At least he'll always have a job with the Lakers.

Has there ever been a Bond continuity when they switch actors? Like did Pierce Brosnan spend a few lines talking about his encounter with Octopussy? Was there someone out there that was mad Daniel Craig wasn't on the lookout for Odd Job?

Everything he's done in the past year has made the PJ Washington trade and the Kyrie trade look like flukes. He went from trading for undervalued players on bad teams to trading his franchise cornerstone for a guy everyone knows can't be your franchise cornerstone.

I also don't trust the 76ers offense given that they haven't beaten a good team yet and they have wins against the Nets, Hornets, and Wizards. They've beaten terrible teams and gotten beat by the good teams.
