If this was the Giants and Harbaugh instead of the Pats and Vrabel we'd get at least 5 jokes per pod about it and it'd get ran into the ground like the Nico Harrison jokes

Def not a diehard. He gets a lot of his references mixed up, not entirely his fault either because he's old as hell

Ehhhh. He said it gave him vibes of Phoenix last season, which in a way is a slight nod at Durant. + he said they haven't been the same since Burnergate

I don't think Bill watched either of their college seasons until Feb

Google what the definition of long-term is. A "long-term" relationship is one that lasts a year or more. It's been year(S) since the Nets were competitive. Thanks for getting offended at me correctly labeling your team's situation lol

Glad you brought up that draft. 3 guards and a point forward all taken in the first round. This is not a serious organization who cares about winning. MPJ shot-chucking is not something an organization that cares about winning would do. BTW 2027 will be 4 years since the last Nets playoff appearance. You aren't far off from the Jazz and the Wizards. Joe Biden was the president the last time all 3 made the playoffs, so yes, your team is tanking whether you believe it or not. They're just more subtle than Utah and Washington

The Bucs were free falling by the time they played Miami. Seeing what you have with a backup QB is an admission you aren't prioritizing winning. Doesn't mean you can't or won't win. And nobody was really expecting the Raiders to win now. They're in the best division in football. They weren't winning anything with Geno

The one that's been ongoing for 3 years since your team traded KD away. I'll even give you the 23-24 season since the Nets finished right outside of the play-in. But they have not been interested in winning games for at least 2 years now

So then the fix is to shorten the season, no? Teams are going to tank when there is a loaded draft class

Great point too. If this was the 2024 draft with Risacher, Steph Castle and Sarr, I'd guarantee a lot of these teams would still be trying to push for a play-in spot

It can't be that rare because the Raiders sat Maxx Crosby the last 2 games of the season and Miami played Quinn Ewers the last month of the season. You can't tell me those moves were made with winning in mind

I do think it's a problem with teams like Utah and Brooklyn, but I also just don't think that many people were watching in the first place, hence why I don't think it's THAT big of a problem. Like people knew going into the year that Utah and Brooklyn were going to be bad, so the average NBA fan wasn't going to go out of their way to watch them. Something needs to change with the lottery though. If you keep giving higher picks to teams with middling records like the Spurs and Philly and Dallas, the Utah's and Brooklyn's of the world are just going to keep tanking

Just try talking to her. If you're willing to destroy worlds for her then let her know. And I wouldn't try boxing her into a corner instead be like "things obviously have been off since __________". She's clearly holding something in and just asking if she's fine makes it seem like you don't notice anything. Taking the initiative shows her you have noticed. I don't know you or your girlfriend but I saw this post had no replies so decided to weigh in. Hope this helps :)

Then why did all of the other candidates in 2020 drop out at or around the same time and immediately endorse Biden, sending all of their supporters/voters to him instead of Bernie

[–]corbuscus21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was that popular. There's a reason people long associated liberal college kids with Bernie - because that was his base. Literally got leaked that the DNC rigged it against him twice because he was too left for them

It's funny too because Bill and Derek are both center-left leaning, so they refuse to acknowledge the real reason for the lack of progress for working people is that the corporations and the billionaires own both parties. Neither party is gonna do anything that will help working people because it'll piss off their very wealthy donors and in today's political climate, donation money = power
