Yeah, the NBA is insane now. I’m a Celtics fan and all they do is bomb 50 threes a game. If they make them they win by a bunch. If they miss them they lose and are a real tough frustrating watch. That’s how the game is played now though with analytics telling you shooting 3s is more efficient than 2s even if the % isn’t as high.

That’s why I like watching college basketball much more. The game has shifted there too but not nearly as extremely. Give me March Madness a million times over. The NBA playoffs drag on forever.

That being said, it looks like the Knicks have this one in the bag. They look like the more poised and overall better team. I never thought they’d have a chance against either SA or OKC, but they’re playing with so much confidence right now. Spurs need to show some life tonight or this one will be done in a few days.

Audio quality wasn’t the greatest and I watched it on my phone but it sounds like both the band and Axl killed it with that debut performance. Sounded pretty damn close to the studio version.

I just don’t understand how this band operates. It seemed pretty obvious with the reaction “Nothing” got and initial chart success that it could’ve surpassed “Perhaps” if they put out another stock music video for it. But we got radio silence per usual instead. Why did they release a video for “Perhaps”, what made that different? It just doesn’t make much sense. It’d make more sense if they did nothing all the time. I remember that video dropping out of nowhere and the surprise and excitement over that. Seemed like strategy was changing. Now we’re back to minimal effort and doing just enough so they can continue touring and line their pockets with money.

Pretty solid set list though with the two new songs, Dead Horse, DOTF, etc. I feel like at least those two haven’t been staples at most shows.

Looks like we’re about to be on Drake Maye throwing shoulder watch for the next week and a half. He hasn’t been sharp this post season and I attributed that to playing better defenses and in some pretty tough weather conditions, but he apparently came into the Denver game with something going on with his shoulder & a hit he took late in the 3rd quarter made it worse. No doubt he’ll play in the Super Bowl, but everyone is going to look at those first few throws with a microscope to see how he’s holding up. It’s been a long season, 20 games so far. Lots of throws and lot of hits. One more game to go and lord knows the Seattle D is not going to make it easy on him.

I must have lost my appetite because I haven’t tried to hunt these songs down the last few days. Are they much different and worth listening to?
