Snug Spain P&R? Not sure I've seen this exact action before. Really dig it.
Worked so well that the Rockets went right back on the next possession.
Why not go for it a third time?

🏀 @StephenCurry30 THREE-POINT THREAD 🏀

Looking back at the top three-point moments in Steph's career... we start with #NBA players discussing his quick release during his rookie season!

#WeTheNorth x #DubNation
⏰: 10:30pm/et 📺: ESPN
In the 2012-13 #NBA season, @StephenCurry30 broke Ray Allen's previous record of 269 three-pointers made in a season (2005-06)!

🏀: #WeTheNorth x #DubNation
⏰: 10:30pm/et 📺: ESPN
Two seasons later in 2014-15, @StephenCurry30 knocked down his 273rd three-pointer on April 9th to break his previous #NBA record for most three-pointers made in a season.

He would go on to make 286 total that season.

Thread: @bdetrick @_JohnGonz @SpikeEskin @Michael_Levin @MaxOnTwitter Believe I may have found a *new slant* on the bizarre Markelle Fultz saga which involves a not normal collar (bone) and some suspiciously timed deleted accounts and articles. Process Twitter rides again.
Late last night I was reading @rich_hofmann's recent Miami game recap on @TheAthleticPHI, which goes over the painful Fultz free throw in detail. In the comments section, I see this reply by "Nick W." (let's find him). It references a post by a physical therapist from 2/14/18.
So I read the whole post on doctormovement.wordpress.com - as did many other readers. The reply had a lot of likes and comments and seemed to be gathering steam. I send it along to all of my crazy Process friends and go to sleep excited for today's insane speculation.

Still on a bit of a nostalgic #DoctorWho kick, in particular for the Moffat Era.

So now watching “Dark Water”, the first part of the two-part eighth season finale.
“It's a terrible thing. Just a terrible, terrible thing.”
“It wasn't terrible.”
“Clara?”
“It was boring.”
“Boring?”
“It was ordinary.”

Clara is a fascinating companion, in large part because she’s essentially riffing on the sense of entitlement that Rose felt.
“He deserved better. And so did you.”
“I don't deserve anything. Nobody deserves anything.”
“But I am owed better. I am owed.”

Clara is selfish and self-centred. But she’s aware of that, and the show is aware of that.

These traits are explored as developed. They make her human.

Entering tonight's game, Markelle Fultz is shooting 34.6% from the field and averaging 12.3 points and 4.3 assists per 100 possessions when he's on the court with Ben Simmons. When he's on the court without Simmons, he's shooting 45.2% with 19.0 pts, 9.2 assists per 100.
The Sixers, eventually, need to grow Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons' ability to play on the court together. But I'm not sure you can do that until Fultz is back up to near 100% of the Washington Fultz. I'm not sure minutes with Simmons are helping either him or the team right now
Bring Fultz off bench, drop Simmons minutes by 3-4 per, give Fultz every minute at the point guard spot when Simmons is resting, with 5 or so minutes per game with the two of them on the court. That's what I'd do. Maximize good minutes for Fultz, not necessarily the most minutes.

Doing a #stories and Q&A session with @consonanceng, an amazing community of designers and engineers in Nigeria and across Africa.

Here’s a thread on how I got into design and building products👇 Feel free to ask questions 🙏

I got into programming late. My first experience with it was in high school, AP Computer Science. Funny enough, it made me feel discouraged about programming. 😫
The class was confusing. I had a hard time grasping what classes and objects were. Needless to say, I got a 2 out of 5 on the exam 😬

Tomorrow is the start of the NBA season. Which is great, bc we all love the NBA. It’s also problematic bc I have to steel myself for the onslaught of think pieces & columns by white writers who know nothing abt black culture.
In football & baseball you can get away with discussing culture without having to understand it (although its becoming tougher in the NFL to do that) all that much. In the NBA? Nah, you need to know.
The NBA is a certain kind of black aesthetic. It doesn’t encapsulate the whole of the black experience, but it enough of it to where it’s noticeable. So when ppl opine abt the NBA, it's almost always about black culture. Well, here’s the issue...
