I'm assuming there are more than 3 comments (now mine makes 4) in the chat? I tried clicking the link above but no there was no option to access what I assume is the "real" chat without installing the app.

It's a dark pattern, there is an option to view it on your browser but they color it in gray and make it almost look like you're opting out of something.

Yeah I clicked on that gray option several times and it just took me to a different version of the "download the app" page.

sorry you couldn't get in!

I think it went well and was a fun time. We cracked 200 comments which probably wouldn't have looked good under this post.

I feel like the lack of boxscores that count make us forget how shitty Zach played in the play-in vs Miami or the first half vs. Toronto. This game was pretty much in character, I guess.

Bill James used to have this designation for baseball players that never stopped making "rookie mistakes." Compiling the evidence makes it feel like you're piling on the dude after a bad game, but things like when he shot a long 2 when they were down 3 to the Wizards last year and claimed everyone believed he was fouled as an excuse comes to mind: https://twitter.com/BrickMuse/status/1613371247018250242

This isn't to say he's a bad player but it just feels like that Bill James designation just feels right.

I don’t think you understand how the CBA works if you call “swallowing bad contracts for draft picks” money laundering.
