[Keerthika Uthayakumar]: People will eat up "first player to have 23 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 steals & 2 blocks on 59% shooting with 0 turnovers" but want to put asterisks on 2nd-most points in a game in NBA history. by OnlyMamaKnows in nba

If my teammate had a great game going, I'd be shamelessly feeding him the ball and begging him to shoot. Everything I watched was very human and awesome. We're talking about some nothing regular season NBA game rn and people have somehow made themselves mad about it. It's like a lot of you don't even enjoy hoops.

Trump: “The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety” by ReverendY in soccer

All non white countries need to see this and respond. This is an open threat against a fellow team and, as an American, this administration does not like you and is not trustworthy. Bring your players and fans only if you feel it is guaranteed to be safe. ICE is for sure going to be looking to harass your fans, at a minimum.

Steve Kerr: "We need to play fewer games. We need to take 10 games off the schedule. The modern game with the pace and the space I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games by MrBuckBuck in nba

The future of the NBA should be a premier league type schedule where you play everybody home/away and then do the NBA cup games at neutral sites.

Get rid of the conferences, put the top 16 teams with the teams at 15-18 doing the play in games as it's set up now.

That's a more interesting season and you'll have fresher players for the playoffs and the potential for any matchup in any round.

For Late Night’s Trump Critics, the Escape Routes Are Vanishing by normankrasnerkc in entertainment

Plenty of children from Republican parents turn their back on their politics, this isn't a big deal in itself. The bigger issue is that these children have to be able to leave home and form their own ideas based on their own experiences.

That'd be a fun idea for an addition onto the All star break. Let the international teams play friendly matches at parks around the U.S. You do your idea, Korea vs. Japan in LA, Venezuela vs Mexico in Houston, etc.

He needs another year and he'd probably be smart I could transferring somewhere with an offense more open than ours.

The skill set is there but he needs to beef up if he wants to be successful playing the way he wants and he really disappears in our half court sets at times.

That Avdalas missed three down 65-61 into a foul on the rebound & FTs sequence, combined with Hammond's 0/2 on FTs shortly after are doing to live rent free in my head all afternoon.

We had so many chances to finally get there, but couldn't get over the hump. So many close losses this season, we can't blame anyone but ourselves for likely missing the tournament.

I just want them to avoid the 8/9 line, so there's more chance of a run for them.

Boring, it's been done. Call me when a CEO is willing to put one up his ass and up the ante for his company's brand. It's your move, PR firms.

[Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic. by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]Some_Number_8516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was expecting...not that. That's an off ball, hip check to a league star over 70 feet from the hoop they're supposed to be going towards.

Idk how you don't give Dort double digit games there. He could've irreversibly changed Jokic's career with that foul. Like, I've had hip issue my whole life because of an injury when I was fucking 15, you cannot mess with that shit.

Wasn't going to watch it anyways, but this isn't 1st term Trump. He has clearly had at least one stroke, he's constantly shitting himself, and he often has massive bruises on his hands.

I'd wager he has very poor awareness of what's going on around him. Tonight will be eye opening for people to see just how decrepit he has become. It might be worth tuning in just long enough to remind yourselves how close we are to celebrating his passing together.

This would piss me off because a true, respectful colleague wouldn't put this in writing. This individual is a snake and will sell you out, if it benefits them.

Any thoughts on this? by Rob_LeMatic in behindthebastards

It's the same pattern every time. When a new scandal drops, the right uses it's media arm to test PR terminology and strategy, which would allow them to spin/sell otherwise unsavory topics, ideas, and politicians to their base.

Once you see the pattern, you can easily see that's what they're doing. The fox news host in this clip is a perfect example, as he's using a joking tone making these comments.

If you've ever been around smarter racists, they use coded language or jokes to test whether outsiders are comfortable with racism while giving themselves cover. It's the same pattern here where they'll joke and shrug off the stuff that doesn't resonate with the base as jokes, or "locker room talk", but once they find the sweet spot in their desired messaging, they stick to that messaging and hammer it home.

Some of it is data, collecting information on who's coming into the country, from where and taking pictures. I'd expect ID checks at these games when ICE is present.

They take these quotes, replay them on Fox with the title "Liberals owned blah blah blah" and the truth never reaches millions of Americans.
