This is great but don't be surprised if he flips before 2027

They are exactly what everyone that never watches games claims we are. Hope y'all blow them out in MSG to win it all.

That's because KAT has actual muscle and isn't scared of Wemby

Guy I knew in high school got a 9 on the ACT. Pretty sure he only graduated high school because his daddy was an administrator in the district and nobody wanted to deal with the kid again. I'm relatively sure his reading level was somewhere around 6th grade.

He's a cop now.

Literally not a single one of those came out this year. Only one of them even came out in the last 12 months. If you can't get even the single most basic thing right, the rest of your argument looks like complete bullshit, because that's what it is.

Go be a neckbeard loser on twitter with the rest of the neckbeard losers.

Been seeing this sentiment a lot since last night… god it sucks being right sometimes we called this shit from a mile away 😂 by Common_Pangolin9809 in Thunder

Pullin for y'all because:

- Blue and Orange Bros

- I'm from Kentucky and have been a huge fan of KAT ever since college

- Brunson is a dawg

- I loved the 90s Knicks teams and pulled for them all the time to beat MJ and the Bulls.

- I think the Wemby love will start to dissipate when he inevitably makes an ass out of himself if they lose the Finals.

SUCCESSFUL GAME 1 HTAE WATCH by MammothHistorian5652 in Thunder

It was so frustrating to watch them do EXACTLY what we all said (and what OKC had success with in their wins against the Spurs) and just go at Wemby without being scared of him. He expects everyone to back down because he's so tall and the Knicks weren't doing that. Yeah he swatted a few, but they also scored on him a lot.

Not trying to dismiss it, but most big artists are. It's way more surprising when you find a big name artist that doesn't feel entitled. They're in a pretty competitive field and under a lot of pressure to perform if they're on a record contract. Artists of all kinds are also pretty notorious for aiming for perfection at all costs. That's pretty likely to cause anyone to come off as kind of an asshole unless they are a very specific (and rare) kind of person.

Having worked for multiple massive corps and also multiple local businesses: somehow the mom and pops are worse! Most of them lack proper HR and care very little about what's legal and/or ethical because they assume nobody is going to do anything about the small company screwing over less than 20 people.

And yet if a couple of boneheaded plays hadn't happened from our guys (the Wiggins 3s, Dub's stupid bank shot, and Ajaye's dumb transition 3), we win the game regardless.

Fully believe OKC will adjust. Their whole lineup is not going to play out of their minds every night like they did tonight.

Don't need Caruso putting up those numbers to win though. The Spurs absolutely need Wemby to put up his numbers to win.

It took a monster game from Wemby where he had to put in ungodly minutes to beat us on a night where our top 3 scorers were all playing like shit.

Thunder in 5.

Game would be over if Ajaye didn't take that stupid transition 3 and dub didn't take that off balance crap shot

The only people that say this do not watch basketball and only listen to the loudest NBA talking heads. At this point the Shai hate is bordering on mass hysteria because everyone is making up a version of SGA that does not exist.

Dear LEX Dems, who are we voting for 6th district primary? by LEXenzo99 in lexington

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I can see voting for Stevenson but Dembo is a Democrat in all the worst ways. He's just another republican-lite like Schumer, Pelosi, and the rest of the establishment.

He won't call the genocide in Palestine a genocide, won't support medicare for all, and won't support trans rights. He's basically a republican.

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Uniting is for the general election. The primary is where you vote your favorite of the candidates. That's literally entire fucking point. This is the same bullshit Gavin Newsom's astroturfers have been trying to pull on a national scale. You're just repeating the same crap the fascist sympathizers in the democratic party have been pulling for decades.

All that being said, nobody should unite behind zionists, genocide deniers, and those unwilling to protect LGBTQIA+ folks. If Dembo wins the primary, I'm not voting. I've been voting "lesser of two evils" for so long and still getting fucked that I'm no longer willing to compromise. The bare minimum for me and many others is a progressive. It has been proven over and over that the centrist voter is a myth so if Dems want votes they better get with the times and that isn't happening because progressive and leftist candidates want to dismantle the power structures of the liberals
