Amen Thompson is breaking out using the tools he's got. Plus an interview with Shri Khalpada, creative coder and software engineer for Cleaning the Glass
Do you think the style of offense that the Rockets play will translate to the playoffs? My understanding is that fast breaks and turnovers are less prevalent in the playoffs, along with a corresponding pace decrease. Just wondering if that erodes their competitive advantage somewhat.
i think their biggest advantage -- offensive rebounding -- will be a factor in the playoffs. But if they run into a team thats both good on the boards and takes care of the ball then they might be in trouble. Fortunately for HOU, there arent many of those teams
Best one yet. I enjoyed reading about Amen but I truly savored the interview—a brilliant subject, Shri, with excellent and fun questions
Easily my favorite drop in substack history
unlike AT and the rockets - seems like Owen rarely misses...great post
I think this is my favorite Amen Thompson name pun yet. Bravo
