How athletes translate mere physicality into phenomenal performance and tremendous plasticity — how they are so astoundingly improvable — is a beautiful mystery of temporal processing.

“Adams was not inclined to believe mankind improvable, but was certain it was important that human nature be understood.”

They’re so weakly sporadic on offense, overly reliant on a bendable defense to force turnovers, and strafed by injuries that you can be pardoned for wondering if they’re even improvable at this point of the season, much less capable of a surge.

The scale of that change would be the subject of intense debate in an indyref2 campaign, with the opposing sides doubtless coming up with radically different yet equally improvable estimates.
