Re: NBA Regular Season 2023-24 f./ NBA In-Season Tournament 2023-24
You wonder how many coaches could have fucked him up trying to make him conform to a system or style of play rather than do all the weird freeform shit he's able to do. I think the current era prevents that from happening any more. The game has become too free to rein in someone like him and, if a ...

Alternate ending (not that literal end of the movie) is in this clip (starts at about 1:32 in). There is one line in this scene that completely destroys the plausibility of its use.

Javy Baez is north of the Mendoza Lina for what must be the first time in a year. I know his bat combined with his contract is the massive complaint of the fanbase, but he was north of .200 for almost the last 90% of last year. It feels worse because he has been so weak with the stick this season.
