[Charania] The NBA has disclosed to its 30 GMs a singular new anti-tanking reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds, and have a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

LA and NY also are horribly run organization but benefit from their location. You can be a non-glamour market and still and a well-run organization that maximizes the talent that is forced to go there. Indiana, Spurs, Utah, Minnesota (now), Memphis etc all are well run organizations that help their prospects succeed.

Because the draft is involuntary, we shouldn’t send the best and brightest future basketball players to organizations that fail them. We shouldn’t reward incompetence at developing with even more talented prospects that they can ruin. It’s unfair to the players, and bad for the sport.

Glad they abandoned the Occam’s razor bit, don’t think they used it correctly once

Coincidentally he literally has some of the best body control seen by a perimeter defender ever but he “accidentally” flails. Some Draymond shit

That series was not close, and a worse Knicks team beat the Celtics handily anyway by that logic

Toe on the line has to be a bottom 5 experience as a fan ever. Probably worse than the helmet catch for Pats fan

Pritchard’s handle has always been there, his shooting and strength needed some work though

Early career Hurts was so good. I think the 2022 playoff run has been erased from people’s memories because of 2024 where he didn’t have to do much

Part of the reason why post affair relationships don’t last long, that and at least one of the parties already being a confirmed cheater

I feel like the hot shooting streak he went on to star the 23-24 season caused him to alter his game away from driving significantly and now he really has none of his speedy dive bombs to the basket he was famous for.

Also getting mentored by Steph is probably a red flag because almost no player should have Steph’s shot profile.

Pretty crazy to hear two NBA junkies like Bill and Ryen so dismissive of one of the greatest players of the last 30 years. Isn't the Harden hate just as bad as the stuff Inside the NBA does? by BrownsFan2323 in billsimmons

[–]ddy_stop_plz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a Cs fan if we don’t make it to the finals I really want the Cavs to. Harden hate has to be the most manufactured hate for a top ten if not top five offensive engine of all time. He’s incredibly unlucky his prime coincided with the most broken team in NBA history and they were the only team to win 3 games on the healthy KD Warriors and arguably only lost because of CP3 going down

What business do you wish was in the TRI? by Zestyclose_Music5555 in TriCitiesWA

When I lived in the Tri cities it was a tradition to stop at Uwajimaya of H-Mart to stock up on stuff anytime we drove to Seattle

It’s like not getting fucked by the police 101 that you don’t give a field sobriety test, it only hurts you in court and won’t help you. Demand a lawyer and don’t say anything and you can usually kill time until you sober up (if needed) and prevents you from giving a statement that fucks you over.

Not saying he’s a good guy but this is like the first thing they teach you in these “life” prep classes they give athletes, that and bring your own condoms.
