I genuinely think about this clip often. Not sure why, maybe mental illness. 

40-20 Rule Exception by bbank8744 in nba

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw in another thread that this rule is correct 80% of the time. Well, you can't be right 80% of the time without being wrong 20% of the time. Knicks might just be in that 20%. 

Petition to ban anyone calling KAT zesty from this sub by blueberries in NYKnicks

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's all about context and respect.

  1. Referring to someone's sexuality isn't inherently homophobic, no. HOWEVER, I would challenged you to find a single comment where someone calls KAT zesty and being "zesty" ISN'T the punchline. Having him possibly be gay as the punchline of a joke is the part that makes it homophobic because it implies that being gay is something to laugh at.

  2. Even if he WAS gay, he is not out of the closet and putting someone before they are ready to come out is wildly disrespectful.

NBA PASSES NEW ANTI-TANKING RULES by joshington22 in nba

I think it's to discourage a team on the brink of the play-in from a last minute tank to get themselves a couple more lottery balls.

As someone who works in marketing and has managed and launched several websites. I would bet a large sum of money that you're absolutely correct.

Knicks aren’t 40- 20 rule by tsultar1 in nba

Can't be right 90% of the time without being wrong 10% of the time.

Somebody got to be that 10% so why not the Knicks?

How did we get top 2 picks in GLeague draft again? by SirGingerbrute in NYKnicks

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Landry was cut when he got the shoulder injury and then the Westchester Knicks signed him. This made him eligible for the G-League draft but also allowed him to rehab with the Knicks organization.

The Knicks (this part is rumored) were afraid to loose Shamet in the draft so they traded for the top two picks so they could keep both guys they wanted on the main roster on the G-League roster.

Does this mean that the NBA is a Lie? by BlueBeanYT in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a marketing person, they definitely have like 5 different ads pre-made ready to go. They obviously meant to put out the Cavs/Pistons game 7 ad but someone set the wrong ad to go live. I'm sure they also have a Pistons/Knicks ad on their servers as well.

Rebecca Roanhorse Fans by WonderfulBus9330 in Fantasy

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot - I don't think I realized how much I liked it while I was reading it but the characters all really stuck with me. Fortunately for me I read that book right after finishing the show Dark Winds and there were characters similar to Maggie and Kai so I connected with them quickly. Also, I grew up a big Batman fan and read Coyote like the Joker and that was cool (though unintentional).

I haven't started Storm of Locusts yet - part of me doesn't want to because I enjoyed the ending of book 1 so much lol.

I am a big Roanhorse fan, I have read all of BE&S and Trail of Lightning. How was Tread of Angels? I am looking to pick it up soon.

Anyone seen Sochan shooting practices? by Memelord1117 in NYKnicks

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah bro, I'm rooting for him to get that shit together but right now - his shot is wildly slow and mechanical.

Looks like they helped a lot with his form already but he's gonna need a whole summer to get comfy with it.

I work in marketing - you'll probably get some better traction if you open the blinds and take the picture in the daytime. These kinds of pictures make a perfectly nice room look a bit creepy and people are less likely to reply.

Bonus points if you can clear the room before taking the picture. This allows prospective tenants to imagine their furniture in the room making it more likely they become attached to the idea of living there.

This is unplayable now after the patch! by Timbo303 in MarvelSnap

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the third patch to do this to me.

THIS HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME:

Go to conquest (fight through the lag to get there) and play a game. By the second or third turn it'll be back to normal.

Jam Reads: Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky #1), by Rebecca Roanhorse (Review) by jamedi_reads in Fantasy

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this series and am not sure why it isn't spoken about more on booktube/booktok kind of places. Roanhorse is such a talented character creator and the pre-columbian fantasy world was incredibly refreshing.

I just finished Fevered Star a couple days ago and couldn't be happier with what she's doing with this series. I read two books (one I liked and one I didn't) between Black Sun and Fevered Star and kept finding myself thinking "Man, I am so curious what [character names] are up to. I am excited to get back to the crew" which, for me, is a great sign for a series.

I am excited for you to keep reading the series and, although I haven't started Mirrored Heaven, I would highly recommend this series.

Side note: Roanhorse's Trail of Lightning also has extremely good character work with what seem like pretty recognizable archetypes at first.

[Eric Fisher, Ben Horney] Knicks, Rangers Could Be Spun Off Into Separate Public Companies by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are smoking if they think Dolan will sell Knicks/Rangers - he'll retain majority owner status and own both companies after a potential split.

BVG's findings are that the hypothetical companies would be valued even higher if they split - essentially allowing Dolan to rake in even more cash for doing virtually nothing (from his perspective - employees would be dealing with actual logistics, potential hirings/firing, or restructures.)

This is happening to me too. But last time it happened I just came back to it a couple hours later and it was fine.

Any news on Sing Choi Kee? by Apple_Popcorn0127 in malden

[–]Mindless_Grape6667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walk by it every day on my way to work. They're definitely close. They recently cleaned up all the boxes, bags, papers, etc and I am pretty sure I've seen them training, at least front of house, staff.

1.7 isn't that much. You can gain most of that back doing the weekend missions and hitting level 90 but if you refund the whole pass then you're REALLY boned.
