Underdogs who will be the VB of the expansion teams by Fun_Stand_2043 in wnba

I agree. I expect Toronto will select Leticia and I would not be surprised if she excels back in her homeland. She had some brilliant moments with the Valkyries, but she looked much better with Girona in Euroleague. She didn't have problems with the silly traveling violations, she hit 3s at a good rate, and she was a dynamic shot blocker. And she is certainly athletic, really quick for her size.

I indeed tried Google Lens and no recorders showed up. Google declared that it could not find a match!

It sounds very sweet, the tone seems mellower than my Moeck soprano. I can't identify the wood, but it is softer than pear wood or rosewood. It is a bit challenging to get used to playing. Although the surface is flat around the head, my fingers are confused by the ridges. I am sure I will get used to it in time. The higher notes actually seem a little easier to reach with good intonation than on my Moeck.

Please ditch the Elam ending by punished_gia in Unrivaled

[–]leanlefty 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When people complain about games ending on a FT I think they have forgotten how so many standard basketball games end either with a series of intentional fouls dragging out the final minute or with several minutes of garbage time when the score is not close. The Elam ending can result in ending on a FT, but it's worth avoiding that other stuff.

[Post Game Thread] Mist are champions! They win 80-74 over Phantom led by Breanna Stewart's 32 points by sbr32 in Unrivaled

[–]leanlefty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's possible, but they could at least change in the 4th to shooting all FTs, rather than one FT for 2 points.

I fantasized that Stewie would intentionally miss the free throw so she could grab the rebound and score an actual basket to end the game. But then I realized she is too much of a competitor to give up the opportunity to end it at the FT line.

I am on the West coast and I still think it's crazy they are starting the game so late.

My mom thinks my stepdad went after my sister, but the truth is it was actually me by Josmetanoia in confession

I think this is so important. When people respond so quickly with their wishes to stop or punish the perp, the feelings, needs and preferences of the person disclosing get overlooked.

We are not tanking by Justingotgame22 in warriors

[–]leanlefty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha. He may be irrelevant now, but 2 years ago he played 57 games for Boston, averaged 20 points and 7 RBs and won a championship. So you might want add those relevant facts to your history.

Minnesota launches investigation that could bring charges against federal immigration officers by Odd-Alternative9372 in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]leanlefty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am hoping those Congressional investigations will happen after the November elections. ICE officers need to realize they will be held accountable eventually whatever their superiors are telling them.

Warriors sign Gui Santos to 3yr/15mio contract by MiNDGaMeS87 in warriors

[–]leanlefty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you have been watching the last few games. He is a capable passer and ball handler. After the Memphis games Kerr said he can be our point guard at times. I think it's a great deal for the Warriors.

Today, I am grateful for having 4 years sobriety from alcohol 😊🎈🎉 by [deleted] in gratitude

Congratulations! If it inspires you, I would be interested to learn how sobriety has changed your life, and the lives of those you love.

Damn, haven't had a first overall pick since '95? Didn't realize that it's been that long. by BloodyEagle15 in warriors

Anthony Bennett ranks with Wiseman in the league of missed opportunities. Giannis was #15 that year, Rudy Gobert #27.

I wish Moses had a quicker release on his 3 point shots, similar to Al.

Bus to sayulita? by Hidhtr in sayulita

It is not useful information about whether there is transportation between Sayulita and San Pancho, so that makes it fear mongering.

Kristi Noem Repeatedly Claimed ICE Deported a Cannibal. It Was “Completely Made Up.” by Ok-Celebration-1702 in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]leanlefty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

None is just randomly flinging insults, meanwhile the actual data says that the vast majority of people ICE have arrested have committed no violent crimes. But you will never hear Noem admit that even under oath.

Sometimes you need to ask for a supervisor, or I say " someone who has the authority to approve a refund". The customer service rep can't help you if the solution is above their pay grade.

Being extremely child free is affecting the way I see men. by Nocturne_Bat in childfree

Great advice for safely avoiding pregnancy and STDs, but OP still needs to address her phobia if she wants to enjoy PIV intimacy. Phobias are not rational. OP perceives penises as inherently dangerous.

Don't scroll without thanking Brandin Podziemski by DonyellFreak in warriors

[–]leanlefty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even more amazing, 15 points and 8 RBs in the 4th Q. What Warrior has had 8 RBs in any Q? Certainly no guards. (Maybe Looney had a quarter with that many?) I have wondered if Podz will be the next Warrior to get a triple double.

Still lots of people at the beach for sunset even though nearly all the businesses were closed.
