You can’t fully stop your run-up or move backwards either. The stutter step is only allowed if you don’t actually stop moving forward, which some players do.

The keeper can move side-to-side before the ball is kicked, he just can’t move forward from his line.

It’s only against the rules if they stop completely and the many variations of stutter-step take full advantage of that.

You can make the argument that keepers always move early and that it’s never called, which is usually the case. So for consistency’s sake it should be let go.

Durant has an advantage that nobody can counter with his height, length and perimeter shooting. Sticking a hand in his face doesn’t do much when his own hands are just that much higher. When he does a step back jumper, you just have to hope he misses.

That, or he’ll just punch him in the dick.

Cool guys rarely get into foul trouble anyway. The only cool guys on these teams that need this would be Durant, Capela and... Thompson and Paul, I guess?? Harden and Curry are super unlikely to foul out anyway.

Why?

and on the topic of 3 pointers, i really wish players/teams who aren’t actually good at making them would stop trying to make them a primary part of their offensive repertoire.

Paul will have to guard someone in the back-court. It really can’t be left to Harden to guard Curry or even Thompson ( even though he rarely moves with the ball ) all night. He’ll get smoked.

Not to slight LeBron or anything, but he can’t effectively guard Durant one-on-one either. He, like everyone else not named Durant, just doesn’t have the length.

The demonstration was set up to be favorable to the Devbot car both with the venue, a street course which requires quick reactions ( something robots are great at ) and with the competition, who isn’t remotely the fastest guy they could put in the car.

It’s the dishonest attempt to generate hype that I take issue with, not the core project. What they’re doing is interesting, even if I have no interest in watching an autonomous racing series, but their hype machine is busted.

Anything else I didn’t say that you want to take offense to?

Hold that thought. We could ( should? ) be having a moment of silence for his F1 career after this season. HAAS has to be done with him at the very least.

If they were as confident as they claim, they would have used a professional racing driver, not a professional drifter. Clearly, there was at least one Formula E pilot on hand. Tuerck can wheel, sure, but he isn’t as practiced as the Formula E guys at racing on a street circuit and is far less likely to get the most…

Nope.

100% agree with this take. #SpainishGP was the singular highlight of the Spanish GP.

That’s what happens when he’s all by himself on track all day. He’s just a feather ruffler with nary a feather to ruffle. :(

Those are some very malnourished looking deer ( they’re all bones ) and one well nourished looking ‘gator.
