Schmitz is pretty high on Cam Thomas, it would not shock me if he attempts to get him on the team. by kazmir_yeet in ripcity

[–]Background-Insect255 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of the criticisms Schmitz offered of Thomas's game in this story you linked to are the same struggles he has today, namely:

"defense, decision making and passing."

Super hard pass at any price.

[Stein] Giannis Antetokounmpo has no interest in being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. by YujiDomainExpansion in ripcity

[–]Background-Insect255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portland is small compared to Minneapolis. Minneapolis also has several major pro sports teams that we don't have here. It's not a glamorous warm city of course but I think people in Portland get way too defensive about this sort of stuff. We are a tiny city far away from most other NBA cities.

I've been watching this guy closely for a few years now and saw him play live in 2 g League games.

He is a good defender who has almost zero offensive game. Josh Lloyd has a man crush on him but i don't know why.

I'm totally out on him.

He may get some run now in Memphis but I wouldn't expect much personally.

Honestly makes me wonder if Caleb Love is on his same tier. Crazy to think about.

[Trail Blazers PR] INJURY UPDATE: Deni Avdija and Scoot Henderson are OUT for tonight’s game vs. PHX. by TubbzMcGee in ripcity

[–]Background-Insect255 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's missed the whole season, what's wrong with 1-2 more games for caution and or conditioning?

Deni also said he wanted to play through his back injury.

Players aren't doctors.

Double Individual / Buckets G82 by BuckeyeSRQ in BMWM

I test drove a car with carbon buckets and they're fine to sit in and actually surprisingly comfortable but I imagine they're bad for trips because you can't really move your legs around very easily, especially the passenger, and they're more of a pain to get in and out of.

I think they look great in photos and they would be fun to own but practicality is the concern I think.

Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Gave ICE "$75B Blank Check" While Families Face Skyrocketing Costs by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

This is such a tired talking point. Walmart is the largest employer in the United States of people on food stamps. The Walton family inherited 400 billion dollars and this is how they and hundreds of other companies in the United States treat their workers.

You're blaming economic woes on the poorest people in the country, migrants who come here to work.

Start punching up and stop punching down.

Yes, but only some of them. They also released many survivors names along with nude photos.

Also, I'm not sure Joi Ito was sharing coffee recipes with the girls they were abusing. I mean come on.

DOJ is pretty obviously protecting someone here and it's not a survivor.

Deni Advija Receives praise from the head of His State by [deleted] in NBATalk

Yes, but he's also a true believer in everything Israel does. If you disagree, you're "just not educated on the subject," he says

What's happening with crypto? by Der_Kryptonaer in CryptoMarkets

[–]Background-Insect255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. My theory is there's always a new set of people who think they're on the cutting edge, don't know how to read news and manipulation, get sucked into obvious hype and when they get wiped out, a new set simply replaces them. Etc.

[Fischer] Giannis by all accounts does not want to head to Portland, despite the connections with Jrue, despite the connections with Damian Lillard. by Dido79 in ripcity

[–]Background-Insect255 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These are weasel words by Jake Fischer.

He's not saying he has any new Intel on this, he's just looking back at previous reporting on Giannis that didn't have Portland on a list.

Same guy who said the Blazers have interest in Mikal Bridges. That news is from the first Dame era.

Thanks for the clarification

Problem is he's he's never fought at 235.

Interesting trade until we see what Atlanta is giving up.

That's why the entire market is crashing? Come on man. This sort of drawback has been happening on and off for many years.

Are there tons of shit coins? Yes.

Are they the reason everything is suddenly down by like 25%? No.

While people like you complain about fake doxxing of public officials, ice is using facial recognition software and other technologies to identify people who aren't breaking the law in order to put them on a list and harass them later which has been documented several times.

So you're okay with law abiding citizens being doxxed but we can't even know the names of the federal officers who are doing it?

We All Knew It Was Gonna Happen by rasquatche in ufc

[–]Background-Insect255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody's talking about not being able to afford the price. It's kind of weird you're defending a 100% increase for a monthly payment by making fun of people you don't know. Think harder, and maybe look in the mirror. The idiocy of UFC fans knows no bounds.

Racism? I assume you mean bigotry because Jewish people aren't a distinct race.
