The 'two-for-one' strategy at the end of basketball games can actually hurt teams by forcing rushed, bad shots.
When you, when you put up a bad shot, it also, I, I wanna see what the numbers are, but I would assume that the likelihood of a fast break or getting like, you know, a, a numbers overload off that miss off a bad miss and a long rebound are higher than if you get a normal shot... when you try super, super hard and make sure to get that two for one up, no matter what the cost is, that actually ends up hurting you a little bit.

I am hyped for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts.
Victor Wembanyama choked at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
So he choked. That was a big time choke at the end. Like he, you gotta look before you throw that pass. It was a ill-advised pass to make. And then out of frustration, he just, he commits a bad foul. I, I think [Wembanyama] is to blame, obviously for everything that happened at the end of this game.
Mitch Johnson should have called a timeout for the Spurs before Victor Wembanyama's late-game turnover.
I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left, there's seven seconds left... Call time out, call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attack Brunson... you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing and regulation, which is what ended up happening.

View profileGarrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires
I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.
The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown
I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.
The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time
The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.
