These guys still have the fastball. Amazing

Vacation

I’ve often wondered if this is increased fatigue from playing harder across the floor. Not like players don’t try in the regular season, but the sheer exertion to go full tilt every possession in the playoffs must be hard (plus maybe the season’s wear and tear don’t help)

This 1000%

Well the honeymoon period in Boston ended, um, abruptly

Angine de Poitrine: the cool music always on at the record store, now in your home!

It makes it seem like this thumbs-up is what did him in

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

LmaoMelo

That’s “GA trade centerpiece LaMelo Ball” to you, sir

I would've paid whatever was left in my bank account to hear Eric Collins for that moment

Ummm was there just a commercial for an NBA Jam knock off where Kawhi hits a shot and a TREE appears next to him?????

The annual “oh THESE are the rules now” whiplash of the NBA postseason

Remember early on when he told the press he didn’t know his players’s names yet

I just have such buyers remorse on the NBL guys I can’t bring myself with Lopez.

Philon I’m coming around on even if it’ll be tough the first year or two

It actually makes me a little nauseous the more I look at it

THE LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER

He also left the door open to “no involvement” (!!!)

Goodbye and good riddance to the 2025-26 Milwaukee Bucks season.

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king

I’m hoping his comments about wanting to see his grandkids means this is an “advisor” gig where he never advises

Doc stop actively throwing your coworkers under the bus challenge

Just here to say it’s fucking awesome to see these WNBA players signing million dollar deals. Overdue and deserved

"Don't storm anyone's offices, the Bucks did what they were absolutely supposed to do and struck out. Milwaukee went desperate while trying to keep its star, should be applauded for it." ✍️ @kdonhoops.com

And a dozen NBA teams to win it all ➡️ bit.ly/4vjFfCt

Also, every one of the dozen teams who might want to trade for him has a huge interest in sewing discord and driving down the price

A great answer to many of life’s problems is just a halal plate

It’s just commentary on whether he needs rest
