Looking for speaking and writing opportunities related to the intersection of superhero and dystopian narratives and sociomoral concepts. Here's a thread of previous writings.

I think it tells you that we all have favorites and a tendency to scapegoat others to protect them.

Stephon Castle is 0-7 with 2 TO and all everyone can talk about is how horrible De'Aaron Fox has been, which tells you how horrible De'Aaron Fox has been.

Fox and Mitch are being scapegoated, yet the two players who were certain they would win the series, Wemby and Castle, combine for 25 points in a close out game at home.

I remember when the owner said the Knicks would not hang up their Cup banner because they want the Finals one. Turned out he was right.

When you consistently blow games in the 4th quarter, you cannot say you absolutely dominated most of the series. All quarters are not created equal as most playoff games are won in the 4th quarter. Closing games is a skill.

Wemby on learning from Finals:
"One of many things I learned is that the margin of error is very, very thin... We absolutely dominated most of the series. But our errors, our mistake, were punished so hard.
Wemby says there were ups and downs, but the "downs are why we lost."

So Victor and Castle, the players the most vocal about winning the series, combine for 25 points in a close out game at home? Never disrespect your opponent. But if you do, you better back it up.

Closed out the overconfident front-runners.

Jalen Brunson just had the highest scoring Finals series by a point guard in NBA HISTORY (32.6 PPG).
WOW.

From the great @StatsWilliams:
To have 45 points in a close out Finals victory all-time:
Michael Jordan, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bob Pettit …
And, now, Jalen Brunson.
What a performance.

Good argument.

Kenny Smith says Michael Jordan is the only player who came into the league where his weaknesses when he left the league were his strengths
"this is to me what makes him the greatest player in the world...most guys come in with the strength and they get better at it"
"his ball handler was good but then it became great...his shot was inconsistent and then it became indefensible"
"he's the only player I look at it like that...his post game there was no flaw...I didn't know he'd be that good but I know he was a hard worker"

100%. Defense should still drive our offense, and any offseason additions expected to make an impact should not hinder that.

If you’re a Pistons fan that wants an offensive identity team, start looking for a different team to follow

Jalen Brunson & OG Anunoby outscored the entire Spurs team in the 2nd half 🤯
