Why is the playoff tiebreaker set to highest seed first and head to head record second? (it doesn't matter in my matchup since I think I lose in both cases anyway)
I felt like Pascal also took a huge step forward this year, maybe less so in the numbers, but in the decisions he made. Lots to like about the team. I was hoping Flynn would have shown a bit more.
Yeah, I don't like Precious in there in that situation. I don't know how the refs don't give the timeout there though at the end. I mean, they have to know it's being called.
It seems weird that all these players would suddenly agree to get vaccinated after holding out THIS long. Still, with the players now not getting paid on the COVID IL, Judge stands to lose almost $1 mil if he doesn't. That's a lot of motivation.
I wouldn't write them off yet. The Raps have looked terrible in certain road buildings before and turned things around. It sure would have been nice to take one on the road, but whether we lost the way we did or by 1 each game, the end result is the same. There's one thing about Nick Nurse. He isn't going to keep doing the same thing and hoping for a different result.
Yeah. It would still allow reasonable shifting, it would just eliminate some of the extreme measures. A team could still rotate an outfielder to the shallow outfield or infield, but at least that would create a more dangerous hole.
Refs are very clearly rewarding aggressiveness above all else. We need more double teams (which they've started to do) and hard drives ourselves. The last few possessions were pretty good.
It definitely hurts, but we basically played last game without Trent anyway who was probably hurting us out there trying to play through whatever it was. I'd like to see us come out with Precious and Boucher in the starting lineup and see if we can counter some of the rebounding. That's what killed us last game.
