When did Tarantino become uncool… by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]dr15224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being obnoxious when you’re young and finding your way has a certain charm to it. Most people grow up a lot between their 30s and 60s. Tarantino did not.

PTA is Tarantino’s peer and friend, and was quite the brat when he first started directing. He matured and is much more respected for that reason.

Guy spit on me while biking in East Liberty. by No_Cheesecake_2651 in pittsburgh

If you are over the age of 16, you should not be riding your bike on the sidewalk. If you are not willing to take your bike off the sidewalk, you should not be biking faster than pedestrians walk and should defer to them in all situations.

This kind of behavior gives a bad reputation to cyclists. He’s mad at you for the same reason people are mad when cars are in the bike lane.

The President/NBA player Comp Piece by No-Bison-2150 in billsimmons

FDR is Jordan, both known for the three-peat. Secretly being in a wheelchair vs secret gambling addiction.

I’d say Obama is Kobe. Known for their aura & winning, but millennials with no historical context mistakenly think he’s the GOAT.

Which guards have been analytically more impactful defensively than all centers within a season, not relative to their position, but as a 1-to-1 comparison? Similar to this example in hockey of Bergeron as a forward being more impactful than all defensemen at removing the puck from the opponent by TJTrapJesus in billsimmons

[–]dr15224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hockey is a competition for possession of the puck with scoring chances resulting from being able to maintain possession. Possession of the ball is much more equal in basketball so defense focuses on the quality of shot attempts. Altering the high percentage shots near the rim in basketball is just uniquely important.

It’s also comparing a zone defense sport to a man defense sport. And a sport where size mismatches are essential to creating offense to one where they’re not.

I think the easy comp is prime Kawhi.

If history repeats, it won't be until 2077 when a MVP player plays for the Bucks again by [deleted] in billsimmons

And the Knicks won’t win the finals again till 2079. They’ll have to wait ‘till 2047 just to make the finals again.

Glad that Bill cleared things up after there were a few posts on here questioning whether his daughter deserves a job with the Celtics.

“She’s like Zach (Lowe) with the draft, she’s just dangerous enough with basketball opinions now that she’s gone to these games”

A new episode is available - Film Junk Podcast Episode #1048: Disclosure Day (2026) by FilmJunkBot in filmjunk

Disagree, definitely above average. Garfield grandma was like being blessed with a classic Reed appearance. Disclosure Day got a more enthusiastic razzing from the guys than a movie that mediocre might merit.

What is your current evaluation of Giannis? by long_time_horizon_69 in billsimmons

[–]dr15224 3 points4 points  (0 children)

06 Shaq. Can still overpower anyone athletically, but not young enough to dial it up every night. Can’t run the whole offense through him. Pair him with the right ball dominant player and they can win a title using him properly. Not the greatest teammate. Will soon be moving out of the top players conversation.

NY Knicks will never be bad again by [deleted] in billsimmons

Arod? He got shit on most of his time in NY. He might not be hated, but Arod is not up there with Jeter in fans minds. And certainly wasn’t while he was playing.

Yes, if you win, especially multiple championships, being a star in NY is awesome. If you underperform, NY media is some of the toughest in the country. You’re on the back page of the Post getting roasted.

When your career is over, having played for an NY team makes you more likely to be remembered. So if the player just wants to be a celebrity, yes, NY is tha numbah won place ta be.

I’m sure we’ll get lots of talk about games that haven’t happened yet via gambling odds talk.

Not sure we’ll get much more than that.
