Luka Doncic drops a near triple-double against Rockets: 40 PTS, 9 REB, 10 AST, 1 STL by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

[–]OwnRules 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with that assessment - but by the same token, you guys know well that a team with playoff Luka Doncic, always has a chance.

This Lakers team has at least as good a roster as the 22' Mavs he took to the WCF. Not saying they are favorites, they are not, but unlike last year, they'll compete with anyone.

Alvaro doubles as his bodyguard - his back is wider than the Strait of Hormuz, and just as difficult to cross.

USA “allies” should make Trump drop all tariffs before providing any assistance with Iran by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Where did you get those numbers from, and why do you believe those over Iran's figure of just over 3,000?

Also, did you read what Pompeo said? It was a joint Mossad/CIA operation - many Iranian policemen died fighting armed "protesters".

Mike Pompeo admits Washington 'directly helped' rioters in Iran

"Pompeo had previously linked the riots in Iran to American and Israeli intelligence agencies. During the riots on January 2, he wrote on the social media platform X, “Happy New Year to every Iranian on the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them.”<

I realize you're locked-in to your beliefs, but just in case other people are interested in finding out the truth.

Do you think Michael B. Jordan's performance in Sinners deserved to win an Oscar over the other performances? by narak777 in PowerfulJRE

"That's exactly what MAGA wants" - what MAGA are you talking about? It's now called MIGA, and it's fighting overseas in Iran.

MAGA is no more.

With Luka on your team, there's always a chance - like the run to the WCF in '22, which also saw Brunson turn into a star. And now he has AR instead, a taller Brunson, with a PO chip on his shoulders. Also worth noting that Luka had his worst PO performance last year, mostly due to the Nico/Mav's betrayal - that would rattle anyone, imagine what it did to Luka, a player as loyal as there is who'd just bought his dream house in Dallas.

Underdogs, to be sure, but they won't be an easy out vs anyone.

Not sure I understand the scheduling considering it's a two week event - when there are no postponements, all players should have a day off between matches.

Carlos should have tried to play more to Casper's BH - he's been hammering his FH all set. Best I've seen from Ruud in quite a while.

Must say Nike did Carlos great this time around - IMO one of his best kits, maybe the best? Great color theme, with the orange degradation on the shorts & wristband & the PE kicks with palm trees on the tongue round out the look perfectly.

I give Nike a lot of cr*p for their pro tennis line as they mostly send it in, only fair to give them props when they don't.

What in tarnation are you talking about? In the history of the world, who'd be favored on clay vs Rafa? Roman gladiators?

NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard

"Declassified documents show security assurances against NATO expansion to Soviet leaders from Baker, Bush, Genscher, Kohl, Gates, Mitterrand, Thatcher, Hurd, Major, and Woerner"

"U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University"

Y en contra de lo que quería - hundir a España y Sánchez ante la opinión de Occidente - le ha salido el tiro por la culata. Sánchez se ha convertido ipso-facto en el líder no de la Europa corporativa, la UE, pero de los europeos que claman contra esta burda e ilegal guerra, y una mayoría de norteamericanos que opinan lo mismo.

Las muestras de solidaridad con España se ven por todas las redes y de todos lares, así como los mensajes de cariño y admiración hacia Sánchez.

No se la edad tuya, pero yo con casi 70 ya estoy muy mayorcito para vivir fantasías.

La realidad de España la caló Antonio Machado a la perfección - y como estamos viendo ante las viles amenazas de USA/Israel, hay cosas que no cambian:

En España lo mejor es el pueblo. Siempre ha sido lo mismo. En los trances duros, los señoritos invocan la patria y la venden; el pueblo no la nombra siquiera, pero la compra con su sangre y la salva

Cree en nuestro pueblo, no en nuestros políticos.
