I’m afraid that they’re going to give it a sponsor name like Doritos, based on the current promo using the Sopranos actor.

It’s very gimmicky, and it doesn’t need to be. They could’ve started it off with some history and slap David Stern’s name on the trophy.

Marketing people really believe Americans to be idiots and it’s annoying.

That could work also. Open the season up with a Cup.

I like the idea of using last season’s record to qualify. This prevents teams from tanking, theoretically.

They want teams to run up the score. It makes for more exciting games at the end of the 4th.

For instance, Warriors came into tonight’s game not only needing a win, but a win by 12 points, hence all those messy turnovers in the final seconds.

This is not who we are. - Popovich, maybe

Hence why the last games of the group stage in the FIFA World Cup are all played simultaneously.

This entire in-season tournament feels half-baked.

These should not count as regular season games. It should be a separate tournament, just like the Playoofs are separate from the Regular Season.

Golden State is carrying a bunch of bad contracts into the future for loyalty sake.

Draymond isn’t doing anything that one of the Heat’s undrafted players can’t do, and Klay hasn’t been the same since the injury.

That team in its current iteration is done, hence why the GM stepped away. Steph is the only one with something left in the tank, and he’s going to waste his final years playing with mediocre players, some of which he will drag into the HOF.

I post a good bit of aerial photos. I credit aerial photography with reigniting my interest in photography.

I don’t shoot aerial as much now as I did a few years ago though, primarily because I haven’t travelled much recently and I’ve grown bored of my current location.

Posting online quickly turns into a minefield also, with other drone operators debating the legality of my photos. I got kicked out of my local drone group because a member ripped photos from my website, and posted them to the group with the purpose of debating how high I was flying. They didn’t understand the concept of stitching photos in post, so they assumed that I was at least 1000ft up. I wasn’t, but this is the level of petty you have to deal with when it comes to the drone community.

As others have pointed out also, most aerial photos are mediocre because drone owners are simply satisfied by the perspective they are getting. Very few of them are editing these photos in post, and when they do, it’s not of the quality of someone who has a passion for photography.

What does hanging on the rim do to the other team? How does it harm anyone?

Let the spectators have something to get fired up about.
