I don’t have time to dive into the draft this year early enough to learn about those stuff. So I just want to raise the question so you guys can remember that under the same level of talent, those 2 thing are what should be considered to see the potential impact of them next season as those are important to cutting down the time a player need to learn Kerr’s system and contribute to our team.
For example, last year there are 2 guys that can satisfied those need name Lamelo Ball( crazy high level of basketball iq and passsing) and Tyrese Haliburton(good passer, being a vet already, rarely make mistakes)
During his postgame press conference following the final game of the regular season, LA Clippers Head Coach Tyronn Lue discussed some of the strategies his team hopes to implement against their first-round playoff matchup, the Dallas Mavericks.
“We know we’re playing a guy who controls the whole tempo of the game, in Luka [Doncic], by scoring, rebounding, passing, making his teammates better,” Lue said. “We know he’s the head of the snake...We can’t let him be comfortable. Just keep mixing it up throughout the course of the game. Blitz him a little bit...switching on him a little bit. We want to keep him off balance as much as possible.”
Doncic has been sensational once again this season, averaging 27.7 points, 8.6 assists and eight rebounds per game. He’s also increased his efficiency from last year, shooting career-highs from the field (47.9%) and from three-point range (35%).
Lue and the Clippers obviously have last year’s playoff matchup against these same Mavericks to turn to as a blueprint for success. However, the Mavericks were without their second-best player in Kristaps Porzingis for three of those six games back in the bubble due a torn lateral meniscus. Porzingis was excellent when available in last year’s series, averaging 23.7 points and shooting 52.9% from three.
“We know Porzingis is back, he’s healthy, so he poses a problem, especially being 7’1, 7’2, being able to shoot the ball the way he does,” Lue said postgame. “Also be able to post up, roll, pop. They do a lot of different things.”
Lue was also sure to show respect to Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle, who has been leading the team for thirteen years and coached them to a championship back in 2011. Carlisle also holds the record for most wins by a Mavericks coach in franchise history.
“Of course, you know Rick Carlisle is a Hall-of-Fame coach who also is big for that team as well,” Lue said. “We know we have our hands full, we know they’re a good team. They’ve been playing great this year, so it’s going to be a good challenge for us.”
It has yet to be revealed exactly when game 1 will tip, but it will be sometime on either Saturday or Sunday, after the Play-In tournament concludes

I honestly feel really disheartened and sad about my result for one of my subject (intro to micro), i got 49% and was 1% off from passing and have had to move interstate during this time which caused a lot of emotional stress. Is there anyway to appeal this or a way to get 1%? Any advice would be great. Thank you
Mark Rober & some of his celebrity connections are hosting a charity event that features dozens of major hollywood stars & E-Celebs. And it had me thinking about how celebrities do this all the time. They "support" a fundraising event, with some 'modest' goal like a million dollars, and it could be met in one second by the collective celebrities supporting it. But instead they pass the buck off to the fans and claim the goodwill.
Why is everyone okay with this? This goes unnoticed?
I noticed that BigDuck's newest BA Elementalist build guide copies literally 1:1 from an already established BA Elementalist forum guide (by HardPrimat). He does not give any credit to HardPrimat. If you don't believe me, just load up both POBs and you will see an exact match. I personally would hate to see someone blatantly steal my work and passing it off as his own. What is the common consensus on "build copying" around here?

Hi fellow digital artists. I just wanted to ask for everyone’s opinion.
On Instagram, I have seen an influx of smudge artists advertising themselves as digital painters. For reference, a smudge artist is someone who takes an actual photo and uses the smudge tool to smudge the skin and features to make it look like a painting. Sometimes they’ll adjust the eye color and lighting.
I am a part of a group chat on Instagram of digital painters who work super hard painting by hand, Apple Pencil or Digital pencil and/or mouse and it takes them days of hard work. Meanwhile smudge artists have thousands of followers because they pass their smudges off as digital art. Ive found references for some artists (won’t name them) who recently got thousands of followers with only about 10 posts and they are smudged. The real references are identical, down the blurring of the hair or the shirt lines that you can see they tried to paint over.
I don’t bash smudge artists, but it bothers me when they pass off their “painting” as hand drawn or done by themselves when it’s not. Am I the only one? What is everyone’s thoughts about this? I’m open to all opinions.
Title says it all.
I'm SO incredibly annoyed/frustrated at clothing and inconsistent sizing between different shops. it's getting to the point where I feel depressed. And it's not to do with what the size says on a tag. I'm fed up of getting something which doesn't fit, then having to go through the aggravation of having to return items simply because they are poorly made/sizing isn't right.
No wonder people have body dismorphia and a poor outlook on their bodies, and develop ED (I'm one of those people and it fucking triggers me that this problem is a reoccurring thing). Lack of consistent clothing contributes to all the other crap were forced to aspire to look like.
Retailers: sort your shit out and do better.
The more you know...
