asked a bunch of coaches about the leaguewide decline in pnr frequency, the rise of high-post hubs, borrowing from the past, & other factors shaping the nba's current offensive dynamic. here's what they had to say: .

this fucking team.

What do you want to know?.

jeff hoffman’s gotta give a third of his contract to mason fluharty for that.

RT @markhmasters: 🇨🇦 Vicky Mboko, 18, is the second-youngest player in the Open era to defeat four Grand Slam champions in a single tournam….

wasn’t a pretty final. sucked to see osaka fall apart after playing so spectacularly all tourney. but i think there’s something about mboko’s game - the way she defends, her variety, her relentlessness - that has that effect on opponents. see also: her matches vs gauff & rybakina.

unbelievable.

RT @vivekmjacob: Vicky Mboko will now improve to 34th in the WTA rankings having started the year ranked 303rd!. That was the match of her….

rybakina basically collapsed & gave away a ton of points late but vicky also went toe-to-toe with her on some blistering baseline exchanges and hit some insanely gutsy shots down the stretch. i’ll be thinking about the return she crushed when facing match point for a long time.

mboko. holy shit, man.

vicky mboko, guts of freaking steel. insanely impressive performance no matter what happens from here on out. wow.

RT @chicco_n: Nearly 8 years after a teenage Denis Shapovalov upset Rafael Nadal in Montreal, 18-year-old Vicky Mboko takes down Coco Gauff….

when bieber returns the jays should actually run a 2-man rotation with him & lauer imo.

wonder if the jays can find a way to buy him out of his player option.

yowzers. on one hand, this is pretty big gamble for maybe 10 starts from a guy coming off tj who hasn’t thrown an mlb pitch in like 16 months. on the other hand, shane fucking bieber let’s fucking goooooooo.

braydon fisher

bo bichette went from having maybe the most impressive run of at-bats in his career to ending an 0-5, 3k game by literally jumping in the air to swing at a ball over his head with the go-ahead run in scoring position. baseball.

jays were overdue for a series like this after having just about every break go their way for 2+ months, that’s baseball etc., but this really fucking sucks.

just for fun, seranthony dominguez postseason career:. 17.2 innings, 27 strikeouts, 1.02 era, 0.78 fip.

give bo bichette $501 million.

the best record in major league baseball belongs to the blue jays of toronto.

would run through 100 brick walls for this blue jays team.
