What's new

Are we even going to talk about balls?

NPR talked about the ball change. They cited a company that has done studies on the two different balls and how shooting around the league has plummeted to start the year. It's not just the Jazz.

They mentioned how when the new balls get wet, it doesn't release the same way. Apparently old balls don't affect the release even when sweat gets on them (which has been my old ball experience) and as such they have a nicer release (which has also been my old ball experience).

Speaking of balls... I had a weird dream last night after my newborn woke me up too early. In my dream I was going on a flight with the Jazz to their next game (which was super cool). However, Rudy, Donovan, and Conley all announced together that they are Transgender and that they had just had some operations and style changes to show the world where they stand. They looked like a weird reddit mashup of themselves and masculine 'babes'. And on account of the big news, I had to ride a bus to Cali for the game instead of fly in the plane. Very disappointing on all counts.

I BLAME THE WET BALLS...

When we gonna learn that old balls are fine and to stop trying to improve perfectly fine balls.

All of this makes sense… except for the dream… that’s some wild ****. I heard the shots are off by a greater percentage the further out you go which makes some sense with the guys you see struggling right now. I do wonder if it improves as guys get used to it or if it’s a flaw we have to live with.

The first thing you do when things are crashing down and everyone hates it is you double down. You tell everyone to be patient and you say “trust us,” hoping that it buys you time where you hope the issue will resolve itself spontaneously (because there’s nothing more you can do). When that fails, as it inevitably will, you move to plan B which is to triple down. Eventually people get fatigued of complaining and then you’re far enough removed from the initial arguments that you can move to the next step that’s wildly successful: gaslighting.

Is there a rinse and repeat step.
 
I was rewatching the highlights and there seems to be more two handed passes then I remember and less one handed passes. This new ball is strange.
