Are the Utah Jazz the least consistent team in the NBA?

slcdunk.com/2018/12/17/181…
In their 14 wins, the Jazz have an average point differential of 15.5.

In their 16 losses, the Jazz are minus-13.3 points per game.

The 28.8-point difference between those two numbers is the largest of any team in the NBA.

slcdunk.com/2018/12/17/181…
In wins, Utah outscores its opponents by 14.7 points per 100 possessions.

In losses, the Jazz are minus-13.3 points per 100 possessions.

The difference between the two? Yep, Utah stands alone. And not in a good way.

Marcus Smart #STATSTHREAD! Incoming!
Marcus Smart is unique.

He's taken 1,094 3s & has a TS% of .480. Of the 113 in NBA history w/ 100+ 3PA & a .480 TS% or lower, Smart is 1 of 2 w/ a positive Box Plus-Minus. Lonzo Ball is the other one.

Hard to have a positive impact with such poor shooting. Smart does just that.
Only 20 players in NBA history match or exceed Marcus Smart's combination of REB%, STL% & BLK%.

If you limit it to players Smart's height (6'4") or shorter, the list narrows to three: Tony Allen, Eric Bledsoe & Victor Oladipo.

Now, throw in AST% and it's just Smart & Bledsoe.

Wow, that last #thread really took off. Let’s try another. I want to think with folks about how we can talk about #SurvivingRKelly outside the logic of the prison industrial complex.
Many of the people who responded to my last thread engaged in carceral logics saying some variation on “his ass should rot in jail” if not calls for his death. Are there other ways we can imagine justice, accountability and healing?
Prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba has said, as ppl raised w/ carceral logics it’s hard for us to imagine or desire alternatives. The #prisonindustrialcomplex has limited how we think about justice—even though other nations do things differently.

I’m starting a thread to document things I find in the FISA warrants that were just released. These will be in the form of observations I make as I work my way through it. First of all, the 412 pages includes all four warrants and the associated documentation.
Secondly, the first thing that stands out to me is that the FBI perjured themselves in the application for the warrant. Why do I say this? Because it includes this.

Thread: Thoughts on the Putin-Trump Tête-à-Tête

1. I wonder what happened behind closed doors at the Trump-Putin meeting, don’t you? By examining some of Trump’s proclivities and past actions since Inauguration Day, perhaps we can figure it out.
2. If we are to believe Democrats like Eric Swalwell, Uniparty Republicans like Jeff Flake, and legacy media propagandists like those on CNN or MSBNC, Trump committed treason during the press conference after the private meeting with Putin:

politico.com/story/2018/07/…
3. These statements from the political class are over the top. Hyperbole, grand-standing, or something else? What was Trump doing, and were his statements during the presser truly outrageous, or were other motives in play about which the caterwaulers knew nothing?

A story of how changing times and preferences lead to the decline of a local business - #thread
thequint.com/voices/blogs/h…
Story by @TheQuint
The oldest memory I have of using fountain pens goes back to std. 5 in school. Till std. 4, we were made to use pencils and I absolutely hated using them because you needed to press hard on the paper for the writing to be fairly dark and legible.
So imagine my joy when we were finally allowed to use pens in school! My mother had bought me and my cousin some beautiful fountain pens on her trip to Mumbai in the summer vacations.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"

Pónganlo cono quieran, y en el contexto que mejor les acomode: querer votar por #López es propio de MUY pendejos. Los más. Los irredentos.
Si ya creer que mediante el mero voto por alguien, quien sea, basta para cambiar algo, lo que fuere, en favor del votante es torpe...
Suponer que el destinatario de ese voto mágico debe ser #López ya es evidencia de que faltó ácido fólico, oxígeno, libros o huevosss.
