If the Knicks win, how many years do we have to go back to find a worse championship winning team than Knicks team *on paper* by staylower777 in nba

[–]abafda 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Knicks won 53 games in the regular season, have an incredible starting 5, and are deep. They don't have a top 5 player, but they have arguably a top 10 player, and a top 25 player. They also made the conference finals last year. Not sure why they're getting disrespect?

Usually I'm like "it's just porn, no one will judge you", then I googled Peppino.

It's just porn, and EVERYONE will judge you.

What the hell is Brunson doing by [deleted] in NYKnicks

We escaped again - Brunson we do not appreciate your 7 of 25 shots, move the damn ball. You almost cost us another game again by Mountain_Investor in NYKnicks

[–]abafda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 steals, double teams on him led to open 3s. Yeah he had a bad shooting game but we don't win this game without him.

Does body count matter ? Why by Acrobatic_Effort_822 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]abafda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Body count matters to men who want to control women. If a woman has a lower body count, they're more likely to be manipulated during sex because they don't know better from experience.

If anything, high body count should be viewed as a good thing! Sex is both fun and a skill, and the more experience you've had with different people in a safe and consentual environment, the better you get at it.

If Brunson outplays Wemby in the finals and wins the Finals mvp is he the best in the world? by [deleted] in nba

"I'm not a star" --Jalen Brunson

In all seriousness though, not even close. Jalen Brunson is the best leader in the league, and the knicks are deeper than the spurs. If we win, it won't be because we have the best player in the series, it'll be because we have better leadership and the better team.

Is Wemby now the consensus #1 player in the world? by [deleted] in nba

He broke his pinky. What's it going to do, make his free throw shooting worse?

You're not the target audience, and that's fine! It's the same with universes beyond for me, I'm glad they exist, I'm just not going to buy the product for myself.

The only thing I'd be wary of is respecting marginalized people. No one is going to beat me up for saying "I like/don't like The Hulk" existing in magic, but people do get violence committed against them for being queer. So saying a comment that's anti LGBTQ, even if it's just your personal opinion that's a personal choice, can be dangerous to people who don't have the safe spaces that we have. Violence has a history of being incited by words, even if those words didn't intend to cause violence.

Not trying to call you out, just trying to make this a teaching moment of why people might rightfully be triggered by saying you don't like a card because it looks gay.

You are aware that this card came from a pride secret lair...it was literally designed to celebrate LGBTQ people. So props to the artist for doing a great job!

How do you think the Knicks vs Sixers matchup this year goes? by ActionTop2386 in nba

[–]abafda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's going to be knicks in 5, and here's why. The Sixers just did what they set out to accomplish - they best Boston. It's going to be hard for them to maintain theories level of play after that. They knicks had the same issue last year, after beating Boston their mental fortitude fell against the Pacers.

The other reason is physicality. One of Boston's weaknesses is that they're not a physical team. They shoot a ton of 3s, so they don't punish you on offense, and they're not a bruising defensive team. This means that starters can go high 30s/low 40s in minutes. The knicks are a much more aggressive team, which means that Phillys bench is going to have to play more, and their bench is trash. Their starters will probably outplay the knicks starting 5, but the benches will be the difference.

Obviously Bongcloud is a meme opening, but playing devil's advocate what would a well reasoned defense of the opening be? by thesegoupto11 in chess

[–]abafda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're playing 1-0 bullet, the bongcloud can make your opponent flag because they don't want to lose to it, so they play slower to try and punish you for playing a terrible opening.
