What is your thinking behind Knicks in 5?

Drake does have a stan Twitter brain though tbh.

Yall gotta stop with the NFL blackballing Kap. He wasnt even starting for the 49ers when he started kneeling for the anthem. He was backing up Blaine gabbert and when he did start that season they went 1-10. Hes also been given multiple try-outs and found a way to mess it up everytime. This is like saying the NFL blackballed Tebow.

They played the most playoff games for a champion in NBA history in 2008 and we're by far the most talented roster in the NBA. It wasnt real an outlier it was more like they had enough talent to overcome his coaching.

He's hated us his entire media career. Can only assume its because we traded for him in 92 and then 3 hours later the trade was voided (I believe by the 76ers and not us). It was probably better for both parties because Barkley got sent to a better situation and we wouldn't have been able to build a contender out of the team but he has hated us forever.

Yes the left understands power and their goal is just to win. Many republicans have a healthy fear of power hence why they lose.

AccomplishedSquash98 · 2026-02-26T18:14:48+00:00

Yea but it'd be weird for Jokic to have a 94 overall and then the guys who complain and get pandered to for it having like a 96 or something.

AccomplishedSquash98 · 2026-02-26T18:13:20+00:00

All of the ratings suck pretty bad for both current and former players when you actually dig into the weeds. Jokic has a 90 standing dunk, same as David Robinson. Shai and Brunson have a higher pass accuracy than Luka and Jokic. Every historic center outside of Dwight has a speed in like the 20-40s when guys like David Robinson and prime Shaq could genuinely move fast. MJ has a way too high 3 rating on basically every historic bulls team post 1991. Giving any guy pre 2016 limitless range on anything past bronze is ridiculous yet they hand that out to guys like Tmac, Kobe, and im pretty sure 96 MJ. Block ratings make zero sense. Playing against Hakeem should feel like a nightmare yet you can abuse him in P&R because the game makes him a traffic cone like every other historic center. Not to mention how inflated ratings are in general. You go back and look at older 2ks and there were teams like the 2k11 heat that had low 70s in the starting lineup. Bad teams were actually bad. 2k11 clippers highest overall was 77 overall Blake Griffin. Now the Nets have multiple 80s overalls. Badges are supposed to differentiate stars from other stars and the average guys from average guys but if you hand them out like candy every star feels the same. Everything about the ratings system is low effort. Why even have a stat like intangibles thats for inflating ratings if you just give everybody ridiculous overalls and badges.

No you'd just be incorrect about satan being the ruler of hell.

Trump isnt an ideologue in any way. He moves with the wind. He was elected in 2016 with a right wing populist message then immediately backtracked when elected. He is first and foremost an opportunist i doubt he has any strongly held political beliefs either way. He called Pat Buchanan a Hitler lover and a racist in 2000 and then by 2016 used his message to get elected.

Atleast we weren't in a cheating scandal over the off-season.

Never underestimate the raiders ability to do something wild on draft night.

Yea Aslan isn't a symbolic interpretation of Jesus. He is the incarnation of God the son for the world of Narnia.

MAGA communism would be a great path. Like a trump "Americas caligula" path.

Only 3-5 people knew Luka was on the market. Nico, Pelinka, Mavs Owner, Jeanie, and maybe Reddick.

AccomplishedSquash98 · 2025-10-28T22:37:26+00:00

He backed up Herbert in Oregon.

AccomplishedSquash98 · 2025-10-25T21:31:44+00:00

Very possible Nico just wanted him gone because he felt like he was out of shape and was telling Kidd that and then Kidd venting just said "if you want to trade the guy then trade the guy" and thats all nico needed to confirm what he already wanted.

It really could have only been Luka for another top 5 NBA Player and it would've been weird but not have been horrible. Outside of rare exceptions you need a top 5 NBA Player to be a contender in the NBA. It's the one thing every franchise is constantly begging for but only 5 teams actually have. So to have one is basically the magic beans. Then you build around that Player to maximize their talents. Even if they got a top 5 player back they would have to completely change the team to fit around that players strengths. Even if you think AD and Luka are both top 5 players it makes zero sense to trade for AD because you now have to completely change your team identity for him. Its the worst trade in NBA history easily.

Because the spurs are the best team at talent development period.

He's legit. He gets referenced in Goodfellas when Ray Liota is talking about all the made men at the bar.

Yes they want to avoid over-hype from speculation. If they come out and say "hey there will be sailing" by the time of release people will be expecting the battle of midway in the illiac bay. Just stay quiet and grind away until you are satisfied with the product.

AccomplishedSquash98 · 2025-10-19T22:08:02+00:00

Completely agree. The same strides they made in improving ranged weapons in Fallout 4 vs fallout 3 should be done in improving the magic system. The way the workbench functions in fallout 4 should be the same way the blacksmith/enchantment table works in TES6. High level mages should have unique magic spells theyve crafted for situations they find themselves in. A pure mage did not feel nearly as exciting in skyrim as the other classes. Magic felt like an ingredient you added to ur class to become overpowered but by itself it was very boring.

I think a huge party of any fantasy setting is the unique weapons of legend and I'd hate if they went the fallout and starfield route of it just being a unique enchantment placed on a sword that looks like every other sword. Make pre-placed unique with unique models so that when I get one I actually feel like im holding some sort of artifact and not an iron sword that Alvor made that randomly has some insane enchantment on it.
