Zverev not the easiest player to return against but Shelton going 3/10 on his second serve is not ideal. Shelton's 67th on the tour this season for both rate of points won on second serve (46.6%) and return games won (17.1%). Laid an egg in that second-set TB but could've avoided it altogether.

Get the sense these Finals will be definitive for Shelton; his rally tolerance and net game has improved somewhat this season to complement serving dominance, but a lot of room for improvement on his return. Either comes out of Turin with feedback in this regard, or he just stays the same player.

Podziemski is literally only good at taking charges and playing hard. The less the ball is in his hands or the sooner GSW cashes in with a dumber front office paying overs, the better. Doubt either happens, that being said.

Just like in Sacramento, hoping someone other than Steph gets hot is even less of a strategy when Steph is out. The consequent lack of respect/spacing from such inconsistent shooting is so palpable.

Now 14-13 DEN this quarter with Jokic and Gordon resting. This is how you get blown out in Denver.

Warriors do what you gotta do when Jokic and Gordon are out.

10-0 run.

These non-Steph games are always interesting but can a fully fit GSW team of uncs beat any team in the NBA? Yes. Will the grind of the regular season wear down on that team of uncs to seal GSW’s fate as a .500 team? Also yes.

Deep cut sports reference but the only comp I have for Јокић slowing everything down at the elbow to consistently exploit what the defence gives him is Sandro Sukno. Hypnotises defences with patience instead of an explosive first step or accel/decel, can never get tired of watching it.

Suffered through the Mavs-Pels game and shocked to see a bunch of giants failing to initiate offence. Flagg will obviously improve but they’re just so imbalanced lol

Meanwhile, we have inaction from the Commissioner’s office towards things that undermine the NBA’s integrity like salary cap circumvention (with a pending lawsuit about to hit discovery phase) and gambling from players/coaches that essentially equates to match fixing. Like, actually serious things.

Watching Spurs-Rockets because it’s arguably the best game with the least stupid-looking court.

Of all the short-sighted and gimmicky ideas in Adam Silver’s tenure as Commissioner that undermine the primacy of the basketball/product itself, NBA Cup might be the most gimmicky of them all. What scrambles my brain the most is that it is a cup comp that still counts towards regular season record.

Had Covid during finals weekend for AO 2023 and the level of hitting in that Sabalenka-Rybakina final did more damage to my anxiety than the Covid, what a spectacle

2012 - This will be the first final at the WTA Finals to be a rematch of a Grand Slam final since Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova in 2012. Showdown.

At least Japan’s jersey has the possibility of being influenced by results at the WC. Meanwhile, we have yet another stinker. After two good home kits in 20+ years, we are finally, mercifully approaching the end of the HNS/Nike nightmare.

Along with a better angle of course, wanting to hear crowd/ambience and not wanting to hear verbal diarrhoea commentary whenever I watch the A-Liga Men’s has left me in dire need of the Bar TV tactical cam plug. A month into the season but these are extremely desperate times.

Musetti to reach the final only to lose to Hanfmann will be the punctuation mark on the ATP's return to the early 2000s Flop Era.

Among the myriad players who United have signed and can't scale to varied game states, in this past window and previous, Cunha's arguably one of the outliers. Still 26, and while they're still going to struggle to play their way out of a wet paper bag in these kinds of games, he's a legit upgrade.

Just curious, what was the rationale?
