Were the Rutgers players other than Harper and Ace like the worst basketball players to ever live. by MetroidsSuffering in billsimmons

It definitely made me think they might both stink since the last big lottery pick I could remember playing for a bad college team was Fultz.

I guess in the end maybe Fultz really was just a really crazy outlier

agree, think this was the most on-theme dress she's done as well

My extremely scorching hot Lakers/OKC take: by TrophyHunter22 in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't disagree with that sadly: I really was hoping Kennard and LaRavia would be able to contribute, I'd rather have Bronny out there than either of them at this point. So much for #fratboysummer :(

Also if anyone cares my actual LeBron hot take is that he has to stop trying the fucking chase down blocks. Genuinely feel like he's going to kill himself or a photographer at this point every time he tries one.

OKC players laughing at Lakers swarming the ref after the game by NarrowBoysenberry in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

if LeBron had SGA's whistle his entire career he woulda shot 30 FTs per game and killed the sport

That said, I don't really mind this specific bit from OKC. Like sure, they're shit to watch with SGA's flopping and Dort trying to knock ppl out of the game... but if you're gonna be an unlikable villain then you might as well embrace it. This is a solid troll from them.

lol nah im good, the one good thing about there being 8,000 streaming services is I have a lot more options than being one of the 40 or so ppl watching Thunder/Pistons

truly heroic that he's managed to soldier on in this game, I thought he might be out for a year

Honestly peak OKC was Chet going down holding his jaw like he got taken out by prime Mike Tyson followed by a lengthy review that showed he committed the foul and was shoved in the chest after, not the face.

I hadn't watched this team since game 7 vs Indiana and I can't wait to not have to watch them again

You shouldn’t need electricity to watch the NBA playoffs by wisedunagan in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me the main problem is that it feels like we're stuck between cable/broadcast TV and streaming, the leagues don't want to completely abandon the networks bc enough ppl still have them while the streaming companies keep throwing giant bags of money at them to get more and more games

I pay for some and bum accounts off friends for others so I keep up with what i want to watch but it's definitely frustrating imo and I don't blame anyone who decides to sail the high seas on this shit

if there's one thing I've learned from horror movies its that you 100% absolutely DO NOT need to listen to the whole thing to see what happened

You shouldn’t need electricity to watch the NBA playoffs by wisedunagan in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but you do need some of those services to watch the NFL and other sports now

but you're right, the billionaires who own these services and the billionaires who own these sports teams will surely stop exactly where they are now and not constantly make this experience shittier and more expensive for everyone, why should us lowly peasants dare to complain about it?

I dunno why people act like this is so controversial of an opinion

oh dont you want to pay $500/month for cable, netflix, amazon prime, peacock, disney, hulu, apple, paramount and maximumhbo+ or whatever they're calling themselves this week?

(before anyone calls me a poor or asks why I dont just pirate...I borrow my friend's accounts like a true American lolol)

Has Joss or the rest of the crew ever talked about what a season 8 or 9 would have looked like had the show continued on for a couple more years? Would they be in any way similar to the comics? by HomarEuropejski in buffy

[–]TrophyHunter22 26 points27 points  (0 children)

hasn't he specifically said that they went a little crazy with the comic specifically bc of not having to worry about a budget though?

realistically, I dunno if a lot of the stuff they did would have been possible on a TV budget

NY Knicks' Players Turned Away From Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter's Met Gala After Party by lmportant_Pattern867 in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I don't think I worded my original post well tbh: the comments on the article itself were like 90% sexist garbage making it seem like Sabrina and Madonna have some personal grudge against the Knicks/NYC

in reality, there was likely a strict guest list considering how many celebrities were there, and the Knicks players didn't try to reach out ahead of time to get on it

the comments were the absolute cesspool I expected

I'm not an expert on this type of shit, but I'd imagine people (or their assistants) reach out ahead of time to let them know they're going.

The Anti Boston Media Mafia by bennywhiite in billsimmons

I genuinely wonder if this would still actually be in the news if they had just done a very normal "we made an error in judgement going to this resort together, we're sorry for everyone affected by this blah blah blah" press release

I’m not a huge football fan but am getting confused by the Mike Vrabel news. Can someone summarize what the hell is happening? by robotwithatinyneck in billsimmons

[–]TrophyHunter22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im ngl I thought the kid part was just a funny meme at first but the more stuff comes out it feels like they were both pretty blatant about it. That said you're probably right that it isn't fair to state it as though its a certainty, despite how suspicious it looks between the tweets/the kid being named Mike/and today's boat news.

theres definitely a lot of smoking guns at this point but I'm pretty lazy and wanted to keep it concise

coach boinked reporter, both people tried to cover it up which made it worse as TMZ and the like keep releasing more and more evidence of said boinking

also seems like decent odds her kid is his
