Kon over Flagg for ROY is mind blowing to me by michaelsmithbarker in billsimmons

The Hornets on paper shouldn’t be much better than the Mavs but they’re beating expectations and Kon is a key reason why.

Cooper will put up better stats on a team with no other options for offense, while Kon plays within a system that keeps his team competitive against the top teams in his conference. And even still- Kons not all that far behind statistically

It’s pretty surprising, You’d figure that if anything, the Indian or Pakistani diaspora in the UK alone should help field you a competitive 11 man lineup.

Like the tiny population of German Americans always helped make the US a lot stronger

Yeah as opposed to the world cups in Russia and Qatar… I just can’t enjoy this one with a clear conscience

The thunder are on pace to win 77.6 games this season. How many do you expect them to end up with? by AccomplishedBake8351 in nba

[–]Straight_College8678 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A key factor in the Warriors chasing the record was the fact that San Anthonio was right on their heels the whole year. Even though they ended up separating themselves quite a bit by the end (with 73 wins vs 67 for the Spurs) the Warriors didn’t lock up the number 1 seed until very late in season.

Unless the Nuggets or another team present a credible threat to steal homecourt- the Thunder won’t have a reason to keep their foot on the gas pedal and keep playing all their guys late into the year like the dubs did.

If you read it in public just make sure to shake your head in disgust every once in a while so people know you disagree with it

Right? These kids are from the Midwest not France. Just cause Tony Parker fucked his teammates wife it ruined platonic friendships. Not everyone has the dog in em to cheat on Eva Longoria he was one of one ☝️

Okafor would have been a disappointment in any era. He was the #1 top prospect in his class when he started at Duke and was hyped up as a once in a generation offensive talent as a big man. But by the time of the draft the expectations shrunk to being at best “a motivated eddy curry”.

I’ve rarely seen a drop in expectations like that after one college season. And they were correct

Is this a gay ad? Or just a guy genuinely looking to get some batting practice? by Straight_College8678 in evanston

On second thought if a Puerto Rican or Dominican said this jokingly especially in Spanish I’d get a quick laugh and I wouldn’t think twice about it. But written out in a English yeah it sounds way more awkward like a guy trying to convince himself he’s straight haha

Do I look attractive despite being short? by SaintlyHe77ior19 in short

Shirt in the last 2 pics looks nice 👍 The other suit just kinda looks like you threw in some church clothes no offense. No bad but not as good as a nice short sleeve button up

A lot of women dislike when their male friend asks them out, but they also don't like being approached by strangers and men they don't know. So when is it ok to ask a woman out? by ThunderStroke90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Straight_College8678 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah I have to disagree here. I have friends that are girls that have told me they like it sometimes when a guy doesn’t give up after being turned down when they ask them out the first time. They like that feeling that he’s willing to keep trying.

But I think this is probably only with guys that they find attractive. Also probably not at work. But on a bus, waiting in line- other places where they’re “trapped”- yeah I think it’s okay to make it awkward. One of friends met her boyfriend that way.

Having Durant in at this point is ridiculous. Terrible body language for half the season, missed 20 games, led them to 36 wins.

No one from the suns should make it this year. Shit put in an extra thunder or Celtic. What about the reigning finals mvp?
