These were my main reactions second by second:

Hunting for Unicorns

"What do we mean by that?"

Google it for an alternative meaning.


Do you need a big man who can shoot outside and play make? They say no, but of course it helps. Any great player helps. Ok...

Shaq this, that... 1/3rd done and not much really...

Context matters... ok, thanks. 2/3rds done...

Lots of 3ptrs here to stay? Uh, yeah.

What's too much data? Don't overdo it in the regular season. Use video. Wearables. Player knowledge.

And it is over. No wonder why almost nothing was reported. No discussion of lineup management as was billed as intended.

Will I totally ignore the panel in future as seems warranted? I dunno. Maybe. Especially if same panelists linger.

One could I guess say it was ok, if you were ok with average chit chat.
