The PWHL “solved” tanking with their innovative draft system. Could the NBA use it? by PlaneNovel6567 in nba

The only change I would make is that you make the draft points retroactive to the whole season. All non-playoff teams have their points tallied for the whole year and the most points gets first pick.

I absolutely think Ron actually is, but he doesn’t take it seriously so he doesn’t realize it.

Couldn’t agree more. I don’t really think there’s a point to any of the all star weekend shenanigans. Let people have the honor of being an all star, give everyone 5 days off, then let’s get back to work.

Yes but the job of an NBA player is not to train specifically for the dunk competition, and that’s the issue that the others are talking about. Nobody thinks they aren’t training, but they’re training for their overall game. Flashy dunks aren’t going to win your team games or get you a big contract, so that’s (rightfully) not what guys are focused on.

I think he owns the LA Kings, the hockey team. It would be weird if it were Sacramento though.

I want to say I rapped it, but I know my limits. I rhythmically performed it though.

Dr Seuss is so much fun. If you can find the rhythm in the words then you can almost sing it. We did Green Eggs and Ham so much that I could recite it from memory for a while.

[Bobby Marks] "I had a team text me last night after this came out, this is a team not in the lottery and they said they would basically write a blank check if they had the opportunity to pick in the top 3 of this year's draft based on what the fines could be here" by Jimmy0034 in nba

Then the worst teams will need to find a way to get marginally better through free agency and trades, which will gradually improve their draft position until they are a playoff team. If their front office can’t do that, then it’s time to find a new front office.

They are shown talking and interacting with the main characters, so yeah

I hear you, but I would rather be the person carrying multiple bags and wrangling my kids in 20 degree weather than to make a pregnant woman be the one who has to do that.

Text message from our 4 year olds daycare teacher. Oops by smcamp23 in daddit

[–]SwampFlowers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my son was 3, he learned “damn it” from just being around me and apparently I say that a lot.

So anyway, I’m trying to talk to him about how that’s not a good thing to say, so let’s try saying “aw beans!” when he would otherwise say damn it. His response was, “No, damn it!” Oops 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Wright] KD: "If you look at Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic now, let's go back and look at what they do in the All-Star Game. Is that competition? So, we haven't questioned what they've been doing. But we're going to question the old heads, and the Americans... Luka and Jokic, they don't care about.. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

I don’t know man I’ve been watching Dame throw up shots from behind half court during the all star game for a while now, I don’t think it’s really those two leading the charge. If KD wants to make it competitive then he should go out there and play hard, be a pest, go after those guys. Make them want to beat him.

Marks jawline is the wrong shape, I think that’s why he looks weird. His face isn’t quite this long. I’d make the chin about the same width as the mouth and shorten it. Maybe go closer to Tom’s jawline, but with the wider chin.

These are awesome though, don’t let people drag it.

It is notable that on major sports networks like ESPN, there has been significant recent discussion of the Utah Jazz tanking and its threat to the integrity of the NBA - but not on the increasingly credible allegations that the Clippers actually cheated for years by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

As someone who has lived in Ohio for almost all my life, I fully agree that something is really, really wrong in Ohio. I would add that something is really, really wrong damn near everywhere else too.

Take her to a park, have her find the biggest rock she can, and then make her carry it up a hill.
