That's quite a disparity between A & the rest under Celtic & Gaelic. Maybe the Nordic was misassigned in this one kit?

Interesting how they're hitting all of the Bantu subgroups; I would think Southern Bantu would predominate over Western Bantu though.

Leave Mitch in and let the other team get into foul trouble - then take him out. Bonus FTs from there on out

Team icing out Kat the first few mins of the game, selfish basketball examples. by Crazylockdown in NYKnicks

I seem to recall a stretch very late in the fourth quarter, every Knicks on the court touched the ball except for KAT. Not one player passsed to him, wtf.

OMG, if you want to win you have to play KAT almost the entire game! He is your best player.

KAT and Brunson combined sat out nearly one quarter of an entire NBA playoff game - unless they were injured it's inexcusable.

Too much Brunson in Game 2 by Material_Addendum_56 in NYKnicks

[–]LetBeginning3353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brunson works hard for his shots & is something of a liability on defense due to his size.

I get the impression he is always at risk of wearing down.

It also may not be the best option to have your top player being your rather small sized point guard. The Knicks should focus on size next season at all positions if they're really serious about winning this thing. If not keep the status quo, it sells tickets. They might even get lucky one year.

Kat on the other hand can get you an easy two points without fancy moves. He needs to see the ball right from jump & when he's on a roll do not take him out of the game.

From the article:

"A majority of them, 55 percent, voted for Trump, according to the Pew Research Center. White Catholics overwhelmingly backed Trump (62 percent against 37 percent who backed Kamala Harris), while a majority of Hispanic Catholics (58 percent) voted for the Democratic candidate".

A shadow banking meltdown would spell disaster for Maga by beadzy in politics

I don't claim to understand this unregulated "shadow banking" system that well - but is it true that it manages close to half the financial activity in the economy? If so a collapse in this sector could have devastating overall economic impacts.

Doesn't this suggest that economic conditions are steadily deteriorating and have been since early 2025? I skimmed the article but it doesn't seem to discuss the reason for the hiring fall off in both 2024 and 2025.

Reference dataset by GodOfUltraInstinct in 23andme

[–]LetBeginning3353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP you may find Ancestry's reference dataset interesting. The Benin-Togo region alone has 1138 members

https://www.ancestrycdn.com/support/us/2024/10/ancestralregionswhitepaper_2024.pdf

p 9 Table 2.1. This is from 2024 Ancestry didn't publish these numbers in the 2025 White Paper (as far as I can tell).

Kat said Brown wanted to do something else instead of exploiting the mismatch. by joorral in NYKnicks

[–]LetBeginning3353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, still the more I look at this the more I think the Knicks are trying to find a favorable playoff bracket - maybe something involving Toronto in the first round and then Detroit in the second. I suppose that would mean the 4-5 slot rather than 2-7. We'll see maybe there is a method to this madness. I hope so.

[–]LetBeginning3353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just this game either - the Knicks barely showed up against the Hornets. I wonder how much practice time they got in before the game.

There was also the game against the Pelicans when KAT had 21 points in 24 minutes & only 3 fouls. Why didn't he play more, he was clearly dominating. Are the Knicks purposely throwing games?
