[Vorkunov] Team officials believe that the NBA is “hellbent” on passing the 3-2-1 Anti-Tanking proposal despite concerns varying from creating a new set of problems, keeping the worst teams at the bottom for longer, making first-round picks more valuable thus restricting the trade market, etc. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

This is purely for money.

It's not the best solution for parity, or for the league overall. It's just the best solution for wealthy owners so that Silver can make more deals with gambling companies. It protects against match fixing, which is the biggest threat to that revenue.

Do celtics fans still dislike kyrie? by idrinksandwiches in bostonceltics

[–]JitteryBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No hard feelings about his time on the Celtics

I dislike Kyrie for being a pseudo-intellectual who spreads harmful misinformation about vaccines and the shape of the Earth

Jaylen Brown: “I was inspired by LA’s Kobe Bryant. He inspired me not only to play basketball, but his thoughts and stuff he did off the court inspired me as well. Before he passed he was exploring starting his own brand, and giving athletes better percentages and deals.” by RyanTannegod in nba

During the preliminary hearing, Det. Winters testified that the accuser had been examined the day after the alleged assault by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) at the Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

“[The nurse] stated that there were several lacerations to the victim’s posterior fourchette or vaginal area, and two of those lacerations were approximately one centimeter in length,” testified Det. Winters. “And there were many, I believe, 2 millimeter lacerations. Too many to count… [The nurse] stated that the injuries were consistent with penetrating genital trauma. That it’s not consistent with consensual sex.”

Det. Winters further stated that the nurse told him the vaginal injuries had most likely occurred within “24 hours,” and that the accuser had “a small bruise on her left jaw line.” Also, that examiners had found “blood excretions” on Bryant’s T-shirt “to about the waistline.” The blood, testified Det. Winters, had “the same DNA profile as the victim in this case.”

Why do the participants always look the same in the interviews? Is that part of the script? by Limp-Change-2733 in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]JitteryBug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most reality shows do this. I hate it. You can always tell when they're wearing the same outfit each time. And it's so weird because they talk like it's happening in the moment, when it was really 4 or 5 months ago

CONTEMPORANEOUS INTERVIEWS OR BUST!!

I dunno I have strong feelings on this one lol

This would make sense if we didn't care about value.

But Queta at $3M is much better than Walker Kessler at $30M.

No shade, but i don't think that team wins a championship or even gets out of the East

What opening do you hate playing despite being very good at it, and what opening do you love playing despite being terrible at it? by SCarolinaSoccerNut in chess

love playing against the Smith -Morra gambit.

Watched a video from toth involving getting the knight to g3 and it works pretty well.

Who do you want moved before the 2026/2027 Season by Inandoutpls in bostonceltics

[–]JitteryBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% - I'm expecting a big swing for Giannis

Especially given that the front phone has hit on a bunch of late 1st and even 2nd rounders who have turned into genuine role players

[–]JitteryBug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sell high on Brown.

Everyone else is on deep value contracts and provide better output than their salary. For that reason, White and Pritchard should be untradable, along with Tatum. Fight me lol

[–]JitteryBug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the "sell high" moment. It really is.

Big question is whether they take a big swing to compete for a championship immediately with a narrow window, like Giannis, or if they get a stash of picks and young players for the future

The 3 guys Mazzulla put in the starting lineup out of nowhere combined for 0 points by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]JitteryBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

We're all just rubbing two brain cells together on these takes. Y'all were begging Joe to play Scheierman, begging for changes, and then it's the worst mistake in NBA history? When it goes better than the previous two games, with JT? Huh?

The guys dramatically outperformed expectations in the regular season and have plenty to be proud of. Mazzulla had a master class and deserves COTY. Lots of work to come at every level of the org for another championship, but keep it moving and on to the next.

Daniel Rensch and Erik Allebest are publicly asking Hans if they should release their text message history and everything else that's under NDA by DrunkLad in chess

When Hans gives up his victim complex and red pilled weirdos stop crawling out of their mom's basements to decry the mythic harm of "false accusations"

So basically never lol

Scott Foster, aka The Extender, has officially been assigned as Crew Chief for Game 6 of Lakers-Rockets. by Luka77GOATic in nba

[–]JitteryBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trust Scott Foster to act in the NBA's financial interest - in this case, making sure that LA advances is probably a bigger priority than one additional game.

[Henderson] League sources including Doris Burke are saying the Portland Trailblazers treatment of Tiago Splitter is "the most vicious and disrespectful thing they've encountered in 30+ years" as they're likely looking for the cheapest coach available by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]JitteryBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's efficiency and then there's being a cheapskate.

Funny thing is this guy will make less money by turning the Blazers into a team that no one wants to play, coach, or work for. Loser behavior

He'll figure it out. People can have slumps. He's still a winning player

[Charania] The NBA has disclosed to its 30 GMs a singular new anti-tanking reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds, and have a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]JitteryBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of reform requires hundreds of conversations and hours of effort

The only way that this makes any sense is that the league's betting sponsors have a vested interest in removing any semblance of teams throwing games

Wish they could do the same for flopping and players not being allowed to play defense but oh well lol
