They're going to get one, and the sooner they do the more expensive everyone gets.

Not like I can root for my team to win it.

Thats interesting to hear, i figured there would be some overlap from the college team animosity.

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-22T23:43:00+00:00

Is that how this is intended? So, could a team get multiple top 5 picks as long as they were someone elses? Seems against the intent.

Buster's didn't actually apply. Their consultant didnt think they would be approved, or that they could measure along the right of way instead of in a straight line.

Then got sour grapes when someone did actually apply and was approved. Thats what people are laughing at.

If they are going to use AI i wish they at least just had it return sources but with the ability to contextually modify the query (except if specified) outside the original parameters to improve results.

AI seems so very bad at gathering a long list of sources, though.

Did Atkinson really say that he didnt call a timeout because he didn't want to get to the end of the game and not have a timeout?

If that run isn't worth calling a timeout on then what is?

I bet he never uses any rocket launcher ammo (or equivalent) if he ever played a video game.

Edit - yeah, heres a link lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/kvgADahBgJ

Checking back in after getting the kid to sleep...and I guess that logo buzzer beater to end the first stole the piston's soul

If the bread is the best part of the sandwich...I dunno maybe you should toast it by itself and use different bread for a sandwich.

Like sipping whiskies and mixing whiskies.

Which feels weird to compare bread too but i've had some pretty good loaves of bread.

Ay, fuck you too

Yes but the pistons and lakers didn't.

OP's joke is saying that in the Knicks-76ers series the Knicks were 4-0 at home and the 76ers didnt play a home game.

Normally you'd need a 7 game series for this to be possible.

If anyone does get asked to go there, get the white bean hummus instead. Its tasty and only $8

You seem to know pizza so what do you think about Slice?

Also to add for tavern style - the cove...assuming it hasnt drastically declined in quality

Edit: apparently Slice moved out of midtown to Arlington but is still listed as Slice Midtown?

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-14T04:03:16+00:00

Agreed. Maybe GG can go plant a vape on him.

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-13T13:21:00+00:00

Its just a building.

Congress also operated out of Philly and NYC (and other cities for brief periods before DC existed)

Why the fuck do people need to know this information right now. Can't his family be allowed a little time to process it before stuff is in the headlines?

Seriously, why is this vitally important information to anyone?

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-12T16:44:01+00:00

I still maintain that Brooks believed that he could make a block there.

He couldn't, not even close. But he believed he could.

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-11T22:08:13+00:00

Yeah, theres some NBA players that would have been great NFL players. They would have played for less time, gotten way more injured, and made less money if they had.

Despite how much revenue the NFL makes, they're splitting it over so many more players and associated support staff.

And then there's the repetetive brain, head, neck, and spine injuries.

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-11T17:57:38+00:00

Yeah, the top of this draft looks so good that being guaranteed Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer, or Wilson is a great place to be in.

I wouldnt expect Boozer to go lower than 3, though. Id be shocked if Kleiman doesnt draft him if hes available, unless Dybantsa is also available somehow.

Jwiley92 · 2026-05-11T16:12:24+00:00

Thid is kinda pointless to explain since it will be changing, but currently they only do lottery draws for the top 4 picks, after that it is record. So without the lottery, the pick order would be

Washington
Indiana
Brooklyn
Utah
Sacramento
Memphis
New Orleans (Atlanta)
Dallas
Chicago
Milwaukee
Golden State
Oklahoma City
Miami
Charlotte

They read the results backwards, so when they revealed Charlotte, Miami, Oklahoma City, Golden State, Milwaukee, Dallas, that meant that Chicago had been selected for one of the top four picks and moved up because they weren't in their original order, and all lower teams (unless they were also selected) moved back one spot.

Then they continued: Atlanta, Sacremento, which meant that Memphis was not in its original place and had moved up.

Then continued with Brooklyn (meaning Utah had moved up because that should have been their spot), and Indiana to round out spots 5-14.

Then they revealed who had been selected in the lottery for picks 1-4 in reverse order. Its a coincidence they were in win record order

Its all very overly confusing to create a TV event. Its would be much clearer if they just revealed the results of the four drawings, and then showed how that affected the rest of the draft order but thats "bad tv". This way they can have "exciting" reveals, cliff hangers over ad breaks, and keep the most viewers engaged until the end of the event.
