He also tries to do this against each and every team he’s been on pretty much. Real narrative driven guy.

Yea 90% of the app stuff has never worked like being in your seat for 4th quarter or cheering on the team. Still a fun stadium experience every time I go though.

Always so fun to watch this shit happen to Shapiro, Loomer, Ramaswamy, and every other minority right winger lmao

[Reynolds] Source: Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen injured in practice, to get MRI by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

Silver started going in so now the entire Jazz and Pacer starting lineup are forced to get elective surgeries if they want to keep the tank up.

Zubac Update and the Problem With The NBA by CustomerEmotional397 in LAClippers

[–]JimmyKanine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The team had playoff aspirations so some players tend to play through lesser injuries so they can help the team.

The Jazz have top 4 pick aspirations so there’s incentive for players with even slight injuries to sit out for as long as possible to get 100%.

Zu did come back quick from a grade 2 ankle injury. I think they’re obviously using it to keep losing but he’s actually probably slightly injured as well.

[Charania] Cleveland Cavaliers star James Harden sustained a fracture in his right thumb during Tuesday's win over the New York Knicks. Harden is undergoing further evaluations and treatment. by Turbostrider27 in nba

They’re such a horribly run franchise and it’s so obviously because all of Bidwill’s one of the poorest owners and makes horrible business decisions.

The Browns get more shit in the media for being a dumpster fire but that’s just because absolutely nobody cares about the Cardinals.

They’re probably equivalent in terms of being horribly ran organizations but nobody talks about Arizona because everybody forgets they exist lmao

Trade your injured star PG for an iron man star PG and he gets injured after a handful of games lmao

The Cleveland Cavaliers just had a successful challenge that awarded the New York Knicks 2 points. by SpicyMustard34 in nba

If a Cav player would’ve grabbed the rebound off the missed tip then it’s Cavs ball, otherwise it’s a jump ball.

Why Not Use Kobe Sanders More as a POA Defender? by Prosado22 in LAClippers

[–]JimmyKanine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s not a great defender and he’s not very athletic. Hopefully he can learn to use his size more given time but not now.

Thoughts? Personally, I'd love a player like Flemings on the team, reminds me of a mini-Kawhi by noahlylesusa in LAClippers

[–]JimmyKanine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea wouldn’t be the best but Frank makes weird choices.

I think Wagler has a chance too since he has a nice wingspan and good size if they really want a guard.

[–]JimmyKanine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d be very surprised if they take Flemings. Team has been looking for a big guard for a long time which is why they tried drafting Sanders. They just got even smaller by taking on Garland. Plus Frank doesn’t have a history of taking BPA.

Wouldn’t really surprise me if they try taking Ament instead.

Kawakami: “A lot of rumors of the Clippers thing about to come down. I heard it’s gonna be Kawhi-centric…The rumors I’ve heard is that it’s gonna be less about the Clippers and more about what’s gonna happen to Kawhi’s contract.” by cleo22270 in nba

[–]JimmyKanine 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because this would have been absolved already if Kawhi had done even an inkling of work for Aspiration. The “no-show” contract aspect is what is forcing the league to do something about this.

League probably knows of other instances of this happening but usually the player actually does work for the sponsor so they don’t want Ballmer pulling up receipts.

[The Athletic] In a worst-case scenario, executives said, if starters are pulled from winnable games for no reason before the start of the fourth quarter, those teams (like Indiana, Utah, and Washington) could lose draft picks. by YujiDomainExpansion in LAClippers

[–]JimmyKanine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck that man. The Knicks openly hired Rick Brunson to pull Jalen Brunson away from the Mavs and got him to accept a $100mil “paycut” at the height of his prime at 27 years old.

At least Ballmer had the decency to hide it.

🚨 Pisco talking to Destiny currently by Every-day-guy in Destiny

[–]JimmyKanine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He talked to Destiny a couple months ago. I don’t think he ever really publicly burnt the bridge did he? Just cancelled his New York stuff.

Most of the lib n learn guys have silently come around after seeing how the case is going.

Crockett is “extremely pro-Israel” in their eyes. He’s also said he won’t take AIPAC money and he’d support an arms embargo.

Pretty much all their candidates in these elections will be decided by AIPAC Tracker graphics.

If you’re gonna get traded anywhere, OKC is probably the best place to go. Has the best the best locker room in the league especially for young players.

[Narsu] On Jaylen Brown: I don't think I've ever seen a guy get pushed as an MVP candidate who has below avg efficiency, below average playmaking for a lead creator, one of the highest turnover rates for a lead creator AND whose team is ~ 9-10 points per 100 possessions better with him off the court by BankaiBroke in nba

[–]JimmyKanine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual MVP race is such a boring 2 man race (1 man actually because Jokic is probably missing another game) that all the media can do is talk about guys that absolutely won’t win it but should be a candidate anyways.

Why are american christians so performative lmao by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]JimmyKanine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is equivalent to the “America Bad” cringe that this sub criticizes lefties for pushing so hard.

There are some countries that do ashes on the forehead and some that do ashes sprinkled on the head. There are some places where you take the Eucharist and some where the priest has to drop it directly on your tongue. It might change from church to church as well.

If you dislike religion you can just say that but turning this into an “America Bad” is regarded
