Controversial (?) HOT TAKE Randoms:
Tuesday afternoon dump of randos so I don't have to take too much heat.
- Posting from a PC is much better than from a phone. Sitting here at my school computer for the first time in a long time. Having a little freshman open house (yesterday, today, tomorrow).
We're starting on-line and obeying Andrew the Great's orders ERRRR recommendations. I'm fine either way, but it's time to get a little consistency. The other school in this county voted to go in-person. They now have decided to make it A/B or half and half. People are out here flying by the seat of their pants with no real confidence on what will happen from week to week.
- Fazoli's is terrible. 25-30 bucks for a lunch for 4 plus drinks? Furthermore, I prefer Chef Boy-Ardee out of a can over that gruel.
- Doing the binge-watching thing of Breaking Bad. I see how it could be good, but I'm not ready to place any kind of crown on it yet. Guess you had to be there when everyone was watching it?
- I've been rewatching The Office for a while. 2 things: 1. I never realized how many episodes I missed. b) It's been my favorite rewatch.
- These NBA playoffs are displaying some great play, but there is absolutely no defense being attempted. Here's a breakdown of each possession:
1. Fast break and pass ahead for layup.
2. If no numbers, high drag screen at top of the key.
3. If nothing there, go 5 out.
4. Couple of passes around the horn, then drive and kick to opposite corner.
5. Shoot a 3.
6. Rebound, repeat on other end.
I know the game is changing with 7 footers becoming 40% 3 point shooters and everything is a layup or 3 now, but yesterday's playoffs seemed like pickup games. The best pickup games of all time maybe, but still pickup games.
- Is it OK to buy one bottle of bourbon at a time, and then drink on that over a 2 month span? That's the way to go, imo.
- Wenyen Gabriel started in the NBA playoffs last night. I'll maintain he was the guy that needed to stay last year. Energy guy that was capable of stretching the floor. But then again, there was no tournament so who gives a ****.
- And here comes the hottest take - It pains me to watch AD play basketball now. Catches it 25 feet out on the wing. Reverse pivot, face up. Low sweep through. Then shoot a jumper hoping to draw a foul. He'll put up great numbers still, but he's lost some of his mystique. Mainly because Giannis has become a better version of him.
Have at it.
