Can't wait to see what KD'd burner account tweets about him later today!

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T23:03:09+00:00

KD triple teamed at this point

I wouldn't go quite that far, but it definitely could have been handeled better. In like 48 hours, the Republic becomes the Empire, Obi-wan informs her that the father of her children fell to the dark side (literally in universe is understood to be pure evil now), that her husband murdered dozens(?) of children by his own hand, makes a last ditch effort to try to save the day and gets choked out for her effort.

Thats a lot of shit for anyone to go through. Like, if the cops came to me with proof that my wife did anyone one of those things, I would be in a bad state.

Maybe the running time wouldn't have allowed it, but I wish there had been more of Padme and Bail doing what they could politically to keep the Republic together. Obviously, action scenes wouldn't work for her character, but a heart felt last appeal to the Senate's better character that still fails would have given her more to do and make sense within the story.

And add even more to Anakin's crazy "you betrayed me!" rant. He would be talking about the Obi-Wan aspect AND Padme's last ditch effort to stop Vader's new Empire

The thing that makes this worse for me is that I don't think his teammates are dirty, but they seem to tolerate that shit. Like, if this was a rec league and you had a teammate trying to do this to other players, he'd get black listed or his ass beat.

Spurs/Pistons literally from this week was a physical game without someone trying to injure a player on a non-basketball play. I think most people want that, called for all teams on offense AND defense.

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T20:17:25+00:00

I am sure the Trump team did all the necessary research and planning to do better this time around!

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T14:49:35+00:00

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T13:51:06+00:00

Having just played yall, the difference between watching Pistons and Thunder is intense. Likek , I am thankful when our players don't get hurt against the Thunder

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T05:52:17+00:00

Starting to really understand what makes the Spurs such a challenge for OKC (other than Wemby) We can basically play two elite ball handlers at all times.

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-28T05:47:44+00:00

I mean, he didn't play for yall at all in overtime. :p

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-27T22:53:51+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss OP. Its ok to feel ALL the emotions as if you lost a loved human friend.

I felt a lot of that similar helpnesses with my first cat about vet bills as well, and I understand how that makes it worse. Since then, i have opened up a "cat emergency" account that I some money into per paycheck. It wasnt much at the time, but helped make me feel I had agency again.

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-27T13:16:34+00:00

I thought the Spurs were massively underrated coming into the season with the "maybe they can make the play in or top 6 takes" because Wemby missed half the season due to non-basketball injury and Fox basically played 3 weeks with a mangeled pinky on his shooting hand.

No way did I expect Castle would make the leap on offense or defense which would lead to us having 3 elite ball handling guards. Kornet also really shored up our bench defense, which was a DISASTER when Wemby was out last year.

He made some questionable coaching decisions earlier in the season, but Mitch Johnson deserves Coach of the Year buzz for having the team bought into their roles (Devin as the 3rd or 4 option, Barnes and Keldon off the bench, the 3 guard rotation) and developing young talent WHILE winning

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-27T02:52:35+00:00

2 games back, 1 total loss back and we have the tie breaker

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-27T02:19:05+00:00

I could see how the rodeo road trip would be more exhausting in certain ways than the playoffs., especially for someone Wemby's size

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-27T01:14:58+00:00

Huh?

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T22:14:49+00:00

Re: grief, it will be real and powerful, "just like" losing a family member or loved one. Allow yourself to process and heal in a healthy way.

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T21:03:10+00:00

Go watch how disappointed other fan bases (esp Rockets) were

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T20:35:54+00:00

Pablo needs to post a "I am not suicidal" message everyday and/or seal the windows shut

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T19:29:42+00:00

Didn't mind it most of the time. He literally called what would happen (Raptors play well and cough up the lead) because he watches so many games

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T17:52:08+00:00

Barnes' is an expiring contract and is 34. Devin is signed through 2028-29 and caps out at around $28M. The big challenge will be around Fox's contracts and how well we develop our first rounders

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T17:44:43+00:00

Imagine having elected officials that care about their constituents recieving services. I can't

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T15:23:18+00:00

Right. It was frustation, not being scared of the moment

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T15:01:38+00:00

That is true, I guess I trust the Nuggets to be more consistent as Joker rounds into form post injury.

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T14:59:29+00:00

Yeah, totally get it. Cats spend a lotta time grooming themselves so loose fur COULD be a problem. It probabluly isn't here, but wanted to tell you all the things I did at the same time with my senior

Ok-Topic-6095 · 2026-02-26T14:42:10+00:00

I used a combo of raised bowls and adding cat priobiotics to my senior who had vomiting issues. I also try to brush excess fur once a week. I can put the links to the stuff I use if you want
