I heard Jim Boeheim (US assistant coach) talking about that this morning and he made a point that these guys are always going to be playing basketball in the offseason anyway, whether organized or pickup. This injury is a fluke thing and it is probably better that they are playing in a regulated environment like Team USA than a pickup game in a gym somewhere.

I read something about that and mostly agree.  If George misses 41 games, the insurance policy pays his salary, not the Spurs, but it doesn't help them become more competitive or appease the season ticket holders.

Such a horrible injury to this young guy. When I saw it on ESPN just minutes after it happened, I felt sick. Not really from the injury, but because the kid is young and has a long road to recovery now. I didn't see anything graphic besides the break itself, so I'm hoping it was just a clean break and he comes back 100%. I also saw Kevin Ware's though on the other hand, and that was 100% worse visually (you could clearly see 3-4 inches of bone sticking out of his shin's skin) and he never played another game.

Was awful watching this, I agree about the fact he is so young! It is somehow worse because the potential for this guy to be brilliant, wish him the best for 100% recovery!

that's not the worst leg break in the sense of watching it happen, but never the less it still looks painful.

there is a video on the internet of i think an african football (soccer to you americans :whistle: ) game and one guy almost jumped to another guys leg and it looks like it gets folded in 3 places, that is not nice to watch...

      Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good.

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
