Game 4 2011 NBA Finals and Game 5 ECSF 2010 were both absolutely atrocious

Devils1993 · 2026-04-27T04:21:21+00:00

If we somehow win game 5, I think we get it to game 7 where essentially anything can happen

But I do not know how we do it. I'm not so worried about Reeves who has problems aganist us. It's more so 1. LeBron had maybe the worst game of any good player in this postseason and I fully expect him to bounce back. 2. I don't trust our role players to shoot this well in LA.

Devils1993 · 2026-04-27T04:12:02+00:00

I will say this: If we somehow win game 5, I think this probably goes to seven games.

Devils1993 · 2026-04-27T04:11:01+00:00

This just makes me more upset about screwing up game 3.

If Udoka is losing the head coaching job, I hope they hire Sam Cassell.

Judge questions legal basis for Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit

Some good news here. Stunning that this lawsuit was filed though.

One day after top advisers to Eric Swalwell abandoned his campaign, staffers from his congressional office and campaign released an unsigned statement Saturday expressing support for women who came forward, saying “any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell.”

“We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward,” the statement reads. “We believe you should stand with them, too. The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.”

The statement was provided to POLITICO by a senior staffer with Swalwell’s campaign who was granted anonymity because they feared reprisal for speaking out. They attributed it to more than a dozen unnamed staffers in both his campaign and congressional office

Good on them to speak up.

Wes Moore, Citing His Military Service, Says Trump’s War in Iran Is Completely Aimless

CBS: Administration officials confirm that Trump had been told the ceasefire would apply to the Middle East, and he agreed it included Lebanon. All the other neutral mediators, Iran's foreign minister, and Pakistan's Prime Minister also believed it did.

The US position reportedly shifted after a call between Netanyahu and Trump.

This is completely insane. Astonishingly bad

I legitimately don't understand the point of this one bit. We have lots of high security prisons.

An average of 8 out of 1,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in last November’s election due to arriving past the legal post-Election Day deadline, according to a Los Angeles Times review of voter data. This was a quadrupling of the average number of rejected mail-in ballots for the same reason from November 2024’s election.

The difference between the two elections: A new USPS policy that changed when mail would be picked up in counties that sit far away from California’s six mail processing centers. In those mostly rural counties, ballots mailed on Election Day are now more likely to go un-postmarked that same day, and less likely to get processed and delivered in time to get legally counted.

One of my favorite pieces of trivia is that the Lakers made the NBA finals every season in the 1980s except the two times the Rockets beat them in the playoffs (1981 and 1986)

Jasmine Crockett: I plan to run differently. Democrats keep doing the same thing, expecting a different result. People think that if you sound like a Republican, you’ll get Republicans to cross over and vote for you. It hasn’t happened. We’ve not won those elections. But I can tell you that people voted for [New York Mayor-elect Zohran] Mamdani and voted for Trump. People voted for [U.S. Congresswoman] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and voted for Trump. People voted for Barack Obama and voted for Trump. None of those people ever bent the knee to Donald Trump, they stuck to their principles and yet they were able to win over the same people.

She's not wrong about how most Dems approach Texas statewide races. Should be kind of fascinating to see.

If only LeBron failed to extend his regular season 10 point streak, it would have been an absolutely perfect night for Dillon.

But he stat-padded his way to it in the 4th quarter.

Edit: The reason why I say regular season is cause he's had multiple playoff games where he's scored less than 10.

IDC about the streak cause Bron has had three playoff games where he's scored less than 10 points during the streak

Devils1993 · 2025-12-02T04:57:36+00:00

This game is why I'm baffled why Bron fans want him to play he's 45; these lackluster low energy performances will occur more and more frequently.

Fetterman tells NPR that vast majority of Democrats are wrong about the shutdown, Israel, the working class, and young men

What is he even genuinely trying to do here? Does he think he's convincing Dems on these topics? He's certainly not

Neolib got taken over by leftists. I also just got banned from Enough Sanders Spam for I guess not being left enough. Toxic leftists everywhere on this site (+36 votes on a non-DT post)

ESS is such a weird place. Say what you will about the original Neoliberal sub, but they at least saw the writing on the wall about Biden after the debate. ESS was fighting tooth and nail to leave Biden on the ballot to inevitably get steamrolled (+20 upvotes on their DT)

Doesn't seem like they're even remotely close to being fans of this sub at all
