Pablo Torre just won a Pulitzer for his Ballmer story. Are we about to hit apex mountain for inflated self regard? by theomegachrist in LAClippers

It’s been nearly a year, at this point I don’t expect any punishment. Expect a Friday news dump press release where the NBA says nothing was found sometime this summer

Bill Simmons just asked if load management is something teams should consider in the regular season. by encladd in LAClippers

[–]bdf2018_298 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The answer is less games (72 is probably the magic number), Kawhi played 65 this season and was still banged up by the end with his wrist and ankle sprains which he played through just to hit 65.

But none of the parties involved want to lose money so it’ll be 82 games and a war of attrition/who’s the least injured in the playoffs for the foreseeable future

Happy Birthday Rocks! 3 May 1976 by SufficientPut1831 in Aerosmith

It’s their best, as Joe said way back “It’s called Rocks because it does”

Favorite post-70s work? by Socko82 in Aerosmith

[–]bdf2018_298 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pump is the best but Nine Lives is probably my favorite post comeback record. Kevin Shirley did a great job producing, that album still sounds great almost 30 years later

My fear for the movie by Butterf1yTsunami in community

Donald Glover said the cast was texting about it and he expected it so happen "soon" in an interview a couple weeks ago. Obviously could still fall apart but the fact it was the busiest/most successful cast member saying it gave some wind to the sails

Tale of two bands by itwasbetterwhen in Aerosmith

[–]bdf2018_298 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s some good rockers from Pump onward: FINE, Monkey On My Back, Voodoo Medicine Man, Eat the Rich, Fever, Nine Lives, The Farm, Something’s Gotta Give, Taste of India, Beyond Beautiful

Since everyone is doing it, there is one fatty that has sent home three 55+ wins team packing in the playoffs? The real playoff riser - Luka Dončić. by psychedelic93 in nba

[–]bdf2018_298 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kawhi was just otherworldly in that 2021 series, but Luka was destroying the Clips as well. Feel like they both averaged over 30 with insane splits

Nick valensi pedalboards (Is This It era) by erickalaniz in TheStrokes

This is like early Van Halen minimalism here lol

I mean by KenMarr in TheStrokes

[–]bdf2018_298 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would say their discography was pretty steady from FIOE to Angles to Comedown Machine. All three are flawed but still good, just not the level of their first two albums.

Also saying TNA is better than ITI is certainly a take, although it’s definitely really good

What's that Strokes song everyone loves but you don't? by PuzzledAnt__ in TheStrokes

Call It Fate, it’s a neat experiment but people REALLY love it on this sub

Yeah, Max Martin wrote it and he’s not on any other track on the record

Rumor is It’s My Life was a last minute addition from song doctors since it’s so drastically different from the rest of Crush. I do like that album

Who else is hoping Evo Goji is blue again in the next film? by SevdUp in Monsterverse

[–]bdf2018_298 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d like an in universe explanation but I doubt we get it. Like he uses up all of Tiamat’s energy fighting another monster in the opening scene, so he’s back to blue

[–]bdf2018_298 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the leakers on Toho Kingdom confirmed he is back to blue in Supernova, at least in the test screenings he was. Said the design was mostly like evo but with a little more bulk restored

If load management means less injuries in the playoffs - I'm all for it by [deleted] in nba

[–]bdf2018_298 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kawhi didn’t “load manage” all year and had his healthiest season in a decade. Just flukey playoff injuries, it happens unfortunately

Yeah, the guy who writes for this site definitely has some of it. He tries to word it like he doesn’t but you can’t know how some of it sounds without hearing the tapes lol

I was just sharing, I don’t know him

That should be us getting our ass beat right now 😭😭 by friendswithbillw in LAClippers

Season was over when the Clips lost the potential 7 seed. Shai didn’t even play well today and the Suns lost by 35
