The way Aniya keeps shutting down every allegation about her is actually hilarious. 😭 All season people screamed that she didn’t even like Carl, only for her to leave the villa and start acting like a girl hopelessly in love—shamelessly gushing about him all over the comment sections. Now the narrative has changed to, “She’s doing too much” and “She’s more into him than he’s into her.” 🤣 At this point, the goalposts keep moving. Aniya is going to make some of you lose your minds. Just wait. 😂 #LoveIslandusa

This one is pretty easy I feel She’s showing jealousy, yes, but also a kind of shame. She knows Anil was only performing CPR, literally saving someone’s life, and that she shouldn’t feel jealous about it. But because she’s already hyper-aware of her relationship with Anil, and everything is tense with Kua’s presence, Lady Uang, Khun On, and all the surrounding drama, it just makes things worse. And of all people, it HAD to be Khun On. Pin knows Khun On likes/loves Anil, and SHE understands it was CPR, but she also can’t shake the feeling that Khun On might see it as a kiss and, in some ways, Pin did also see it that way too simply because she knows Khun On might think of it like that. So she’s jealous, and also angry at herself for being jealous, because she knows Anil didn’t actually kiss Khun On. She worries her reaction makes her look childish.

Her name is Morgan Osman. Was she justified or not? There was another airline incident that is going viral on social media. This time it was a woman who got into an argument with some other passengers an airplane. When she sees a man recording her, she immediately tells him that she’s famous on social media. It turns out that this woman is Morgan Osman, and she’s actually right. She has close to 1 million social media followers. She a Designer out of Miami and LA. A lot of times videos don’t tell the entire story. We don’t know all of the facts of what took place, and we also don’t know what this woman was going through mentally or emotionally. People on social media are so quick to jump to conclusions, and very reluctant to open their minds to the fact that we might be missing a perspective. What do you think? Are people being too hard on Morgan Osman?

Gumayusi is a very very kind person… This fan is in a wheelchair so she’s unable to join the hi-bye session as she wouldn’t be able to go down. She was actually pretty happy getting to see him on stage. But after the event, the staff told her to wait and MinHyung will personally come over and do the Hi-Bye session with her. 🥹🥹🥹 She initially thought he’s gonna come and say Hi-Bye but he didn’t leave and just stayed next to her and started posing. The staff ended up taking a photo of them together 🥹🥹🥹 Mindong you truly are the best 😭

How do young children learn to do challenging things? The same way we do: By having the freedom to practice - and fail - in low stakes settings. There’s so much to love about this video (and this terrific IG account, which is largely focused on Willow’s imaginary play): In her backyard, she is given something that’s all too rare for young children: the chance to try. Using real water and age appropriate kitchen toys, she has the opportunity to fill a real cup - with no consequence greater than some damp clothing. But watch how seriously she takes the responsibility. And how delighted she is to be finding success. When she exclaims that “I’m being really carefully now!” she’s actually coaching herself…externalizing her own inner monologue. How do you create safe opportunities for trial and error for your child? 🎥 saruh2themax IG

Within the first two minutes or so, she’s already used the word “learns” three times, and four times in total over fifteen minutes, if you count them all. Just like when Harry and Meghan went on about the “harms” while collecting that absurdly paid-for award, which she trots out again here. Once, fine, could be a slip. Twice, that’s worrying. Three times? Are you even aware of what you’re saying, Meghan? What on earth is going on? She takes a perfectly normal verb and adds an s, turning it into a noun. It makes no sense. She has been doing this for a while and now Harry is copying it too. In plain English, “learn” is a verb. You do not slap an s on it and turn it into a noun, no matter how much self-help or corporate waffle you have swallowed. Saying “a lot of learns” is just wrong. The proper phrasing is “a lot of lessons” or “a lot of learning.” Their habit of adding s to abstract or non-count words like learns, leadings or learnings is nonsense. Using “harms” in this broad, vague way is just as bad. It turns an uncountable noun into a countable one with no reason at all and leaves everyone guessing what the “harms” actually are. It is meaningless, pretentious, and completely opaque. For someone who bangs on about vintage this and old-school that, you’d think she’d want her grammar to be vintage too — proper and correct, fitting the whole analog purist image she’s been pushing. But of course not. Making up words seems to be a skill she’s happily passed on to the squaddies. Case in point: “derangers.” And all the “learns” in the world still haven’t taught them that it isn’t a word. It reads like pseudo-corporate drivel, the sort of buzzword soup you get in self-help circles trying to sound profound, but it is completely wrong. I also noticed Meghan misusing terms she thinks CEOs or business founders use. Her explanations have nothing to do with how the words actually function in business, and they certainly would not have worked for her first product drops or for As Ever. I’ll break it down in detail as a female founder with twenty years in business, showing what she’s lifted from books to sound like a “founder” and what proves she has no idea what she’s talking about or is simply wrong. For now, the learns moment is enough. It is only the start of the buzzword nonsense we’ve come to expect, tedious to sit through, and absurdly easy to dismantle. #MeghanIsTheProblem #MeghanMarkleExposed #WordSaladMarkle

Grabe, if this really is a management strategy, sana naman they pick something that won’t throw Bianca under the bus. If they want a little drama, go for the “two guys fighting for her affection” angle. That’s way more romantic than making her look like she’s juggling two guys at the same time. Think of how casual fans will see it. Everyone knows she’s been spending a lot of off-time with Dustin, tapos biglang may super duper ZOOMED-IN clips taken by OG that make things look way more intimate than they actually are. Bianca’s reaction even seems harmless… at a point parang naiinis pa nga. Ewan, lols. The intentions behind releasing these videos now are so obvious. Even Dustin said in his most recent interview na madami pang lalabas na issues, so maybe eto na yung mga yun. Ang sad lang na parang nagiging collateral damage si Bianca habang yung isa, unscathed. Tsk. Also… again… di nakakakilig. Halatang set-up. Hinde sya kagatekeep-gatekeep talaga haha. Hinayaan nyo na lang sanang blurred para gumana kahit konti yung imagination namin. 😂 #DUSTBIA #DUSTINYU #BIANCADEVERA

when sophia of katseye texted yunjin asking how le sserafim did it through their hate train & she replied with: “honestly, there’s no way around it other than just like you kinda grow numb to it.” — these words mirror her weverse letter from march 17, 2025. a year after it all started. in her letter she asked herself multiple times “how do we survive this?” and tried to define the meaning of “to survive”. she highlighted how she didn’t “remember feeling all that existent” when she wished simply existing would have been easy, how she felt like she was “dying” and how the past year taught her “surviving is an experience contingent on accepting a kind of death”. however, after all that happened, her personal answer to it was her “refusal of apathy” and her “love persevering”. it was her own fight to exist to allow herself to fall apart— just like she mentioned in her ‘paint your colors’ speech talking about ‘the red helicopter’: “you have to be able to bend in order to not break.” the girls grew numb to all the hate; but never to the pain that came with it. they learnt perseverance and how to accept the pain. pain made them change. pain made them grow. pain made them become a person they can be proud of and even love - this genuinely shows how truly strong le sserafim really is.

Bogoljub Markovic Film + Notes 🧵 Best thing I saw: Loved his feel for the game. He was so good out of the short roll. Always knew where everyone on the floor was and made quick decisions with the ball. Biggest Concern: He was just throw around like a doll down low. When hedging screens he had such a hard time getting back to his man and being in good position to box out. Even when in good position, he still got thrown around pretty easily. Offense: - Extremely high IQ - Quick decision maker - his shot is super smooth / high release and quick trigger - Really solid feel when catching in the short roll / but hard to get him in good position on the roll bc of him not being big enough to hold guys behind him - great feel for spacing on and off ball - really solid ball handling for his size / had some good moments getting a rebound and pushing the ball up the floor - a lot better finishing through traffic than actually finishing through contact - not really going to be able to create his own shot at any point / it’s either catch and shoot or catch pump fake and drive or catch and finish Defense - Hard for him to get back in position when hedging screens because of the weight - ^ piggy backing off this, thought he had the foot speed and length to hang with guys on the perimeter (Mega Superbet just had really small guards so they had to run this drop to keep them out of bad switches) - is not a big that’s going to excel in drop coverage - wouldn’t classify him as a 5. He’s definitely a 4 - doesn’t offer much rim protection at all - doesn’t offer much help side defense - was bullied down low fighting for rebounds / even when in position he was easily pushed out the way

Today’s Episode on being a prayerful full-house husband who takes care of the home. Yesterday, while my wife was trekking 15 miles home from work, she suddenly developed a running stomach. Before she knew it, she pooed on her gown. And because provision is her shield and I would starve if she doesn’t drop money for food, she left it for me to wash and I washed it. Maybe because it was already cold by the time she got home, I didn’t really enjoy the Jendol’s bread she bought yesterday. And I don’t want to call her to buy Bokku bread and Suya on her way back from work. Now, I have to rack my brains for what we have to eat for dinner, unlike my wife that’s simply just dealing with clients and pressures for deadlines. This thinking of what to cook, putting clothes in the washing machine, cleaning the house and actually taking care of the home remains the most difficult job on earth. I’m also beginning to feel dissatisfied with my provider wife, and even she provides for this home I don’t praise her for it because that’s the bare minimum. I don’t like that she’s not driven enough!!! Her mates are getting promoted at work every year but she’s remained in the same spot for 3 years. I’m sure my feelings are valid. It’s really not easy being the backbone of my successful wife. I pray for her, give her advice, take care of the home and make myself available to have a lot of sex with her. We full-time husbands who do the most difficult job on earth will someday get the praise we actually deserve for taking care of the home.

I lost some of my faith in people yesterday. Do you all remember this story of the woman we found on the road carrying a dead child? Around 3pm yesterday while I was at the hospital, I got a call from Ope Ola Grace. She sounded really confused. I asked what’s wrong then she said she saw this woman at Lafenwa begging for alms among the beggars. I told her to wait there and make sure she doesn’t leave, that I am on my way to confirm with my eyes because it can’t be possible. I got there with Seeker of Truth and it was indeed true. I couldn’t believe what I saw. How’s this possible?? We set up a business worth around N300k for her last December, gave her money, gave her husband extra money to keep. Enrolled her kids (all 3 of them) in school, supplied all needed school materials for one year. Bought at least 3 months worth of food supply for them as well. The Hon Commissioner for women affairs Hon. Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye also sent delegates to her with lots of needed items; 25kg bags of rice twice in the last 5 months, 10 crates of soft drink for the wife in January. The commissioner also made sure that her husband was among the 100 beneficiaries of the N100,000 disability grant of the RHI shared on the 17th of April by First Lady Remi Tinubu in Abeokuta. He confirmed that he received the N100k the same day. I called her at the spot to show her the woman and she was confused too. Like, “Jack, what else could we have done?” I asked people there, they said she’s been begging with them for more than a month. When I explained in details all the help we have provided for her in the last 5 months, they got angry, saying she should leave. That’s not even the worst part of this story. The worst, I fear, is she appears pregnant again. However she insisted she’s not, that she just ate eba, that’s why her stomach is big. We took her back home, the husband (visually impaired as I stated then) said he was not aware that she has been begging, and he can’t see, so no way to confirm if she’s pregnant. Everyone in her community said she goes out for 3-4hours everyday when the kids have gone to school to get ‘supplies’ for their mini-stall. They said some other troubling things about her that I won’t want to share here. I am confused on what to do next.

Pramila Jayapal, the Democratic congresswoman from Seattle recently led a congressional trip to Cuba, met with officials there, and then at a public briefing in Seattle a couple days ago, she openly said she’d been in conversations with ambassadors from Mexico and other Latin American countries about getting oil to Cuba. She’s been very critical of the U.S. sanctions—calls them “economic bombing” that’s causing blackouts and a humanitarian crisis. Trump ramped up pressure this year with executive orders threatening tariffs on any country sending oil to Cuba, especially after Venezuelan shipments got cut off. Only a little Russian oil has been getting through. Republicans are furious, calling it a violation of the Logan Act—which bars unauthorized U.S. citizens from negotiating with foreign governments in disputes with the U.S.—and some are throwing around words like treason. But the Logan Act has basically never been used successfully, and past legal opinions have said it doesn’t apply the same way to members of Congress doing oversight or fact-finding. Whether her talks crossed into actual coordination or just listening is the gray area. Bottom line: she admitted to engaging foreign diplomats on this while criticizing current U.S. policy. It’s a real flashpoint right now. What will it actually take to convict these anti American members of Congress? Do you believe she intentionally committed treason?

Pramila Jayapal, the Democratic congresswoman from Seattle recently led a congressional trip to Cuba, met with officials there, and then at a public briefing in Seattle a couple days ago, she openly said she’d been in conversations with ambassadors from Mexico and other Latin American countries about getting oil to Cuba. She’s been very critical of the U.S. sanctions—calls them “economic bombing” that’s causing blackouts and a humanitarian crisis.

ELLE: Why did the director say, “If there’s Emi, there must be Bonnie”? EMI:It’s probably because I’m the type who forgets continuity! Like, in one take, I’d hug on the right side, and then when they switch the camera angle, I’d accidentally hug from the left. I just go with the flow of the emotion. But Bonnie is super detailed—she remembers everything about continuity. So the director said, “If there’s Emi, there must be Bonnie.” Also, our personalities and preferences are completely different. Like, when we eat tom yum soup, I eat the meat, Bonnie eats only the mushrooms. If we eat avocado-salmon toast, she eats the avocado and salmon, I eat the bread. We’re total opposites but we work together so well. At first, I thought Pam was such a distant role, but the more I played her, the more I thought, “Wait, this actually feels familiar.” There was one improvised scene where I said, “If I didn’t have (Dok)rak, how would I go on?” But in my head, I was actually thinking, “If I didn’t have Bonnie, how would I go on?” And then I just cried super emotional! (laughs) Maybe it’s because I usually don’t express my feelings. I tend to take care of myself, handle things fine alone. Strength is kind of my way of protecting myself. But when I’m with Bonnie, I feel like I can be vulnerable, soft. It’s such a strange feeling. Maybe it’s because I’ve never met someone like Bonnie before. BONNIE:When I see Emi, I just want to take care of her. She has this dependable, older-sister, almost motherly vibe, but also a childlike side. Deep down, she’s super sensitive. On the surface, you’d see her as someone who’s bold and outspoken. But when she’s under stress or pressure, she shuts down, becomes quiet. I, on the other hand, usually don’t express emotions much but when the pressure gets high, I actually become the stronger one. I’ll step up to protect or support Emi. We’re different in ways that complete each other. And honestly, if it wasn’t Emi, I’m not sure I could’ve become Dokrak. But with Emi, I felt totally comfortable, like I could be myself. She never judges me, no matter what I do.

Sorry, I’m drunk: We don’t have many “little steps” left to take or make. We won’t be together much longer. She will be taken; though I’ve known it for years, it doesn’t hurt less. She shined in an incredible way – a supernova. I was black-pilled after a terrible divorce complete w/ false accusations & later this woman came along; I was slow to trust & bitter but she made the world bright again. She made me smile. She gave me hope & something to come home to. I think that’s what most men aspire to…something to come home to, some family unit to serve & sacrifice for. I put my own life below my children’s, and below my wife or partner. I will suffer whatever I must for their benefit, and I’ll take satisfaction in doing it. In a weird way, it will make me happy. She is far more than I deserve & now she is wasting away…and I can’t do anything about it, no matter how much I work or suffer. Part of me – maybe a large part – will go with her. I will soldier on for the kids, but she was so beautiful & bright…that light will be gone & I’m not sure what’s left. Now she struggles to get out of bed. Can’t eat besides a bag of liquids hooked to a pump & tube, either. Which is only one of three tubes & bags. Cancer is devouring her. She weighs 80 pounds. She’s still beautiful. I will be lost without her; no purpose or rudder. I was going to show her the world & how to have spontaneous adventures…she’d started learning to non-rev & we made good use of it, but it’s not to be. I’ll carry on for the kids, but I just don’t see anything for me, and I’m tired of being the good soldier & sucking up all the bad shit. So, so tired of “you’ll survive”. I’m sorry. Like I said, I’m drunk. I need to let this stuff out sometimes. Bobby Brown had a great sentiment & my GF danced to it in the video: “Every little step I take, you will be there Every little step I make, we’ll be together” I was against commitments when we met, then skeptical, then hoped & lived for it. I rejoiced in finding a partner like her – she’s just so good. Then I was robbed of it. More importantly, she was robbed of everything. I already mourn for her, and part of that is mourning for all that could have been for her. The world is losing an amazing woman. Just a zombie at this point. Not feeling much of anything. Sorry, drunk musings as I go through my phone. I try not to talk about this, and I am really good when she’s unloading on me, but I don’t have anyone else to share that with & sometimes it builds up. I’m not a threat to anyone or myself; my job actually gives me some joy…but I’m just hurting at home now.

YESTERDAY WAS THAT DAY 😊😊😊 A DAY WITH THE Bolajiogunmolatv 🫶🏽 Have your fav decided to fly all the way just to surprise you? NOOO! So shift back 🤣🤭 I was shocked. It’s very hard to surprise me cos I will always pick up a clue or my instinct will kick in but this time I was legit shocked.. And the fact that she didn’t post in real time for 12 hours so I won’t suspect sealed everything. I was shaking for more than 5 mins. Like how? What! My head wan blow 🤯🤯🤯 When she said “I just came to see you. I came to Abuja for you”… I thought she was whining me but this woman came to my place straight from the airport, spent the day with me and my sisters and left first thing this morning. She didn’t even tell her Abuja friends she was coming just so we can enjoy the day together 🥹🥹. Don’t tell me not to feel special, it’s too late. I AM ALREADY FEELING EXTREMELY SPECIAL 🥰 MY HEAD WAN BURST 🥹🤣 -She came with her brother and was intentional about coming to help me Make content for my brand. His work rate >>>>.. In her words “you gave me your time and that is very important to me”… if you know me, you will know the easiest way to finish me is by supporting my brand 😭🙏🏽🫶🏽 -I have been asking her to send in her measurements for months. Well she came for physical measurements. 💅🏽 -She is such a vibe and holds the best conversation. We were gisting for hours like we knew each other for years.😊 -I got sneak peak of our next YouTube movie and y’all better be ready. Another banger dropping soon 🎉🎉 -Oh! And did I tell you how KIND she is. KIND, GRACEFUL,THOUGHTFUL,HER PRESENCE IS SO SOOTHING AND HER MIND IS BRILLIANT.. She came bearing gifts too. I didn’t even open it cos I was too excited to see her. Will go and open it later today… -SHE IS SOOO PRETTY. OMG! Camera is not doing any justice abeg. Too beautiful and portable. TV definitely makes them look bigger. -Gave her a tour of our 80% done fashion space and she wanted to use hype to finish me. Advised, prayed and encouraged me. -Then we went to watch AJOSEPO the gathering for the 5th time with her. She brought my own personal premiere to me 💅🏽 -Funfact; This was something she didn’t have to do but she did just to show me love. She already messaged me to thank me several times and even chatted on video call and it was very okay. I was always telling her the “Thank you” was enough so you see how this was such a big deal. THANK YOU SO MUCH WIFEY. Yesterday was super special because of you 🫶🏽.. One of the edits her amazing brother did on the spot. 👇🏽👇🏽. He is too good 👍

Sometimes people make comments like "Those poor service dogs; all they do is work. They never get to just be a dog and play." Comments like that are far from true. I have lots of play time, lots of nap time, and lots of time for shenanigans. Us dogs don't view work the way humans do. To us, most of our work is made up of play or games. Like push the button with a paw or nose, retrieve the item, or even odor detection which is basically true or false with your sniffer. A good portion of being service dog is simply being there. We're not working every moment of the day. It's basically a paid on call position. I'm ready anytime she needs me to lend a paw. But I still have time to play with my baby brother, watch my favorite TV shows, go for walks or to the park, have social visits, and do dog sports! What I don't have is long periods of time at home alone. There's actually Chesnyy alone time that's scheduled, like when my brother goes for walks, so that I have some me time and don't develop separation anxiety. Basically I get to go pretty much everywhere with my best friend and I get paid to play games. I think I am super lucky to have this job. But just like humans, us dogs need work life balance too. #ServiceDogs #WorkLifeBalamce

🚨 "THE BEST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD": Erika Kirk’s Secret Past Exposed. 🚨 The internet just unearthed a massive treasure trove of old Instagram posts between Erika Kirk and a woman named Sydney, and the receipts are undeniable. We already know Erika treats her life like a movie role ("Hourly Baby Rentals," anyone?), but new evidence suggests her marriage to Charlie Kirk might have been the biggest "gig" of her career. Was the "Trad Wife" persona just an act? Because these receipts prove she was playing for the other team long before she met Charlie. THE SMOKING GUN: In a resurfaced photo of Erika crowning her friend Sydney, the caption explicitly says: 👑 "Disclaimer: we are not actually dating but she’s the best boyfriend I’ve ever had." "Best Boyfriend"? It gets wilder. Erika’s comments to Sydney are thirstier than anything she ever said to her husband. THE LEAKED COMMENTS: 👮‍♀️ "Cuff me or nah?" (When Sydney replies "5 years to life," Erika says: "Good thing I submitted my application 6 years ago.") 🛑 "All those curves, and me with no brakes." 👁️ "You sure look pretty through the peep hole." (Creepy or flirtatious? You decide). 👔 "Your shirt looks a lot like my thoughts, tied up with you." 🏰 "Just building our kingdom Bae." THE AESTHETIC: Look at the photos. The "heart hands" over the city skyline. The "cuff me" poses. This was the peak "closet lesbian" aesthetic of the era. And The Video... The flannel shirts, How they embrace when Erika surprised her. They look like star crossed lovers, this is sick. THE THEORY: Critics are saying that Marrying Charlie was just a gig—a role she accepted to further her mission and secure the bag. She wasn't looking for a husband; she was looking for a co-star. Her real chemistry? It was clearly reserved for "Bae" and the "curves" she had "no brakes" for. She wasn't a Trad Wife. She was the "Best Boyfriend." Tag Candace Owens and RT to expose the truth. The internet is forever. 👇 Credit to MIA for this Awesome Find. FOLLOW Her!

Instead of just talking about it, I wanted to go through it and really break it down to figure out the exact reason for the difference in Jalen Duren's play between the regular season and the playoffs. *LONG BREAKDOWN COMING* First, lets list how much the difference was: Iso in RS: 82nd %ile Iso in PS: 21st %ile Post-ups in RS: 88th %ile Post-ups in PS: 59th %ile PPP on drives in RS: 1.18 ppp PPP on drives in PS: 0.80 Layups in RS: 79th %ile Layups in PS: 19th %ile It was a staggering drop off. Shocking to many of us who watched him all season. So, what happened? Well, #1 I think mentally he was letting his struggles get to him and he started to play out of control. Something that suggests this to me is this stat: He started to figure some things out himself in isolation over the last 2 games against the Cavs. He had six isolation possessions in the final two games against the Cavs; he scored on five of those possessions and drew a foul on the other. Game 6 he started to look confident and really made them pay out of isolation. I really think a ton of it was he got hit with a punch early against ORL and really struggled to handle the pressure and struggles after, and just kept stacking and stacking. So, him being in his own head is #1 for me. #2: His handle got exposed quite a bit. In the regular season, he only had a 4.2 TO% in isolation, which is incredible. In the playoffs, though, that spiked to 20 TO%. On drives in the RS, he had a TO% of 4%. In the PS, it jumped to 13.3%. The first clip below shows how the right-to-left cross he loved doing all season was really taken away from him. Too loose of a handle, and he often got his pocket picked trying this exact move over and over. I think having his go-to move taken from him shook him a bit and left him scrambling a bit in his head to find a counter. The second clip shows, imo, him starting to lose trust in his handle. He immediately turns his back to the defender, which is what you do when you're worried about losing the ball. But, even then, he loses control of the handle and it ends up in a turnover. If I'm the Pistons, I'm showing all his turnovers due to his handle and working with him on tightening his handle and also helping him get comfortable with a counter/second move so defenders don't just sit on the right-to-left cross. #3: I think he really struggled to adjust to the playoff whistle. In the regular season, he drew free throws on 21% of his isolations and 31% of his post-ups. In the PS, it dropped to 14% and 11%, respectively. There were many possessions where in the RS he would've got free throws, but did not in the PS and he was frustrated. In the third clip, you'll see how physical he was being played by Mobley (which we all want physicality in the game). But, in the RS, he probably is getting FTA's here. There are many examples of this where it felt like a lot of his value during the RS was being able to draw FTA's on his drives, and in the PS, refs just allowed more physicality, and he struggled to deal with it. #4: Ausar-Duren duo. I believe in this duo, and I do not think this was the main reason Duren struggled. However, I am not blind to the fact that there were obviously some possessions that hurt Duren. In the regular season, Duen actually got less efficient when Ausar wasn't on the floor. However, in the playoffs, Duren went from 51 TS% with Ausar on the floor (302 minutes) to 64 TS% with Ausar off the floor (121 minutes). In the 4th clip, you really see how the lack of spacing caused a tough shot from Duren. He gets a step on WCJ going right, and probably would prefer to then just use his strength to create spearation. However, he sees Suggs sitting in the right gap off of Ausar, which forces him to spin left. Once he spins left, Paolo is completely leaving Tobias open. This is one of the reasons I really think DET needs a spacing 4 because this should be an easy kickout from Duren to a shooter. He still should've made this pass to Tobias, but a legit shooting 4 I think would relocate to the corner and make an easier outlet/easier to see for Duren. But, he still coulda made the pass, tbf. Either way, you see how the lack of spacing from both Ausar and Tobias forced Duren into a really awkward drive where he was forced into an extremely tough shot. I think if the passing returned from Duren, some of these situations wouldn't happen. Hitting Ausar early as he cuts into the space would work, or hitting Tobias (who again shoulda be making himself more available) beyond the arc results in better offense. But, also, having better spacing probably allows Duren to just get to his original move once he beats WCJ off the dribble. and lastly #5: He really just didn't play well. I can't include any more clips (I'll put some in the immediate thread reply to display), but he really just didn't play well. Missed *a lot* of looks we're used to him making. His touch around the rim left him, looked like he really felt rushed in the paint. He was struggling to secure rebounds after dominating the glass all season (during the RS, he averaged 4.3 second chance points a game, in the PS it dropped to 2.3). During RS, he had a 22.0 DREB%, which dropped to 16.0% in the playoffs. So, I think a lot of factors played into why he struggled so much in the playoffs. My takeaway is I don't think these things are unfixable; actually, I think they're very fixable. Experience of dealing with what playoff physicality is I think is going to help moving forward. All young players have to adjust to that--I think Cade really learned that from NY series to this playoff run. Tightening his handle and just having a second move to go to is not something that should be considered impossible. I'd like to believe it's pretty likely with how much he works and the raw skill he already has with his handle. Pistons adding a legit spacer at the four I think solves a lot and will make Duren's life a lot easier. The most concerning part is mental. And we won't know an answer to that until the next playoffs. Did this experience help him on his journey towards becoming mentally strong and prepared enough to move forward? Did this run help him find a routine that helps him lock in mentally, as many players have said they had to discover? Or will the pressure from struggling last postseason get to him this upcoming postseason? Will he let mistakes get into his head, compound them, and start playing rashly? I don't think the second option will be the case, but no one will know until the next postseason. Honestly, I'm more concerned and critical of his defense in the playoffs (which at times was pretty good and at other times was an incredible struggle), but that would require its own thread. My ending thoughts: I still very much believe in Duren. This playoff run showed he has areas he must sharpen up and learn from, but at 22 that shouldn't be a shocker. He is incredibly talented and made a large jump during the RS. The PS posed challenges he didn't quite have answers to yet. But another run of experience, another offseason of training, and another year older should lead him down a good path. I am fully supportive of paying Duren and extending him. I am not at close to 50 million dollars. 35-40 million is where I think they'll settle on, and I'm fine with that. But, he's gotta learn from these playoffs! Every offseason he's gotten better, I don't have a reason to believe Jalen Duren won't learn and improve again this summer. He's only 22.

Shocking to many of us who watched him all season. So, what happened? Well, #1 I think mentally he was letting his struggles get to him and he started to play out of control. Something that suggests this to me is this stat: He started to figure some things out himself in isolation over the last 2 games against the Cavs. He had six isolation possessions in the final two games against the Cavs; he scored on five of those possessions and drew a foul on the other. Game 6 he started to look confident and really made them pay out of isolation. I really think a ton of it was he got hit with a punch early against ORL and really struggled to handle the pressure and struggles after, and just kept stacking and stacking. So, him being in his own head is #1 for me. #2: His handle got exposed quite a bit. In the regular season, he only had a 4.2 TO% in isolation, which is incredible. In the playoffs, though, that spiked to 20 TO%. On drives in the RS, he had a TO% of 4%. In the PS, it jumped to 13.3%. The first clip below shows how the right-to-left cross he loved doing all season was really taken away from him. Too loose of a handle, and he often got his pocket picked trying this exact move over and over. I think having his go-to move taken from him shook him a bit and left him scrambling a bit in his head to find a counter. The second clip shows, imo, him starting to lose trust in his handle. He immediately turns his back to the defender, which is what you do when you're worried about losing the ball. But, even then, he loses control of the handle and it ends up in a turnover. If I'm the Pistons, I'm showing all his turnovers due to his handle and working with him on tightening his handle and also helping him get comfortable with a counter/second move so defenders don't just sit on the right-to-left cross. #3: I think he really struggled to adjust to the playoff whistle. In the regular season, he drew free throws on 21% of his isolations and 31% of his post-ups. In the PS, it dropped to 14% and 11%, respectively. There were many possessions where in the RS he would've got free throws, but did not in the PS and he was frustrated. In the third clip, you'll see how physical he was being played by Mobley (which we all want physicality in the game). But, in the RS, he probably is getting FTA's here. There are many examples of this where it felt like a lot of his value during the RS was being able to draw FTA's on his drives, and in the PS, refs just allowed more physicality, and he struggled to deal with it. #4: Ausar-Duren duo. I believe in this duo, and I do not think this was the main reason Duren struggled. However, I am not blind to the fact that there were obviously some possessions that hurt Duren. In the regular season, Duen actually got less efficient when Ausar wasn't on the floor. However, in the playoffs, Duren went from 51 TS% with Ausar on the floor (302 minutes) to 64 TS% with Ausar off the floor (121 minutes). In the 4th clip, you really see how the lack of spacing caused a tough shot from Duren. He gets a step on WCJ going right, and probably would prefer to then just use his strength to create spearation. However, he sees Suggs sitting in the right gap off of Ausar, which forces him to spin left. Once he spins left, Paolo is completely leaving Tobias open. This is one of the reasons I really think DET needs a spacing 4 because this should be an easy kickout from Duren to a shooter. He still should've made this pass to Tobias, but a legit shooting 4 I think would relocate to the corner and make an easier outlet/easier to see for Duren. But, he still coulda made the pass, tbf. Either way, you see how the lack of spacing from both Ausar and Tobias forced Duren into a really awkward drive where he was forced into an extremely tough shot. I think if the passing returned from Duren, some of these situations wouldn't happen. Hitting Ausar early as he cuts into the space would work, or hitting Tobias (who again shoulda be making himself more available) beyond the arc results in better offense. But, also, having better spacing probably allows Duren to just get to his original move once he beats WCJ off the dribble. and lastly #5: He really just didn't play well. I can't include any more clips (I'll put some in the immediate thread reply to display), but he really just didn't play well. Missed a lot of looks we're used to him making. His touch around the rim left him, looked like he really felt rushed in the paint. He was struggling to secure rebounds after dominating the glass all season (during the RS, he averaged 4.3 second chance points a game, in the PS it dropped to 2.3). During RS, he had a 22.0 DREB%, which dropped to 16.0% in the playoffs. So, I think a lot of factors played into why he struggled so much in the playoffs. My takeaway is I don't think these things are unfixable; actually, I think they're very fixable. Experience of dealing with what playoff physicality is I think is going to help moving forward. All young players have to adjust to that--I think Cade really learned that from NY series to this playoff run. Tightening his handle and just having a second move to go to is not something that should be considered impossible. I'd like to believe it's pretty likely with how much he works and the raw skill he already has with his handle. Pistons adding a legit spacer at the four I think solves a lot and will make Duren's life a lot easier. The most concerning part is mental. And we won't know an answer to that until the next playoffs. Did this experience help him on his journey towards becoming mentally strong and prepared enough to move forward? Did this run help him find a routine that helps him lock in mentally, as many players have said they had to discover? Or will the pressure from struggling last postseason get to him this upcoming postseason? Will he let mistakes get into his head, compound them, and start playing rashly? I don't think the second option will be the case, but no one will know until the next postseason. Honestly, I'm more concerned and critical of his defense in the playoffs (which at times was pretty good and at other times was an incredible struggle), but that would require its own thread. My ending thoughts: I still very much believe in Duren. This playoff run showed he has areas he must sharpen up and learn from, but at 22 that shouldn't be a shocker. He is incredibly talented and made a large jump during the RS. The PS posed challenges he didn't quite have answers to yet. But another run of experience, another offseason of training, and another year older should lead him down a good path. I am fully supportive of paying Duren and extending him. I am not at close to 50 million dollars. 35-40 million is where I think they'll settle on, and I'm fine with that. But, he's gotta learn from these playoffs! Every offseason he's gotten better, I don't have a reason to believe Jalen Duren won't learn and improve again this summer. He's only 22.
