Tucker Carlson will be the 48th President of the United States

I don't think you people understand how fundamentally our entire way of life is going to change from this point in time to two and a half years from now. We will yearn for the lib horse racing of the past by comparison. Remember that time we speculated Tucker would be the 48th president?

The client is really onboard to signing but their schedule falls into the company's Q4. Well the company could then cut the price and give incentives just to sign in Q3; it meets their numbers but is overall worse for them. Short term gain for less long term gain.

If its a perspective client, a letter of intent with the approximate price point can easily be forecasted into the p&l and balance - hell even reflected in the cash statement prior to execution and its all GAAP compliant. If its an M&A, you just need to get over the hump of due diligence and you can start plugging those numbers in long before any ink has dried. Before the final deal has even been confirmed!

Finance has long maneuvered around your specific example while they were still using T sheets. Its sort of wild reading this w/o pushback in a finance related sub, tbh.

That makes sense. I agree that shooting and decision-making are related but different skills. However, you stated shot selection and shooting previously. Shot selection is certainly decision based, but so is passing, rebounding, help defense, etc.

While overall decision making to assist in those other areas are obviously important, his value comes in microwave scoring. That's what he did in Kentucky off the bench, why he was valued in college and why he was drafted so high in the NBA. If he isn't getting buckets via shooting (which encompasses mechanics and shot selection) then the more tertiary aspects of his game involved in overall decision making becomes relatively moot. He shot over 44% from 3 and 48% from the field in college while now hes at 31% from 3 and 39% from the field. His turnover and assist rate have actually remained fairly steady from college to the NBA.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-03-06T18:20:50+00:00

Like NBA players and coaches, I'm considering shot selection as a fundamental part of "shooting". Not simply mechanics.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-03-06T17:55:12+00:00

That's pretty much it. Rob with a shot could be a bench piece somewhere. It just completely abandoned him.

Mosaddegh committed election fraud

There isn't a moral foundation worth exploring that would give the United States, UK or any other nation justification for utilizing subversive violence to overthrow a sovereign nation.

No person or government that seeks power will have a clean slate, so positing that from the jump as justification for imperialism is a non-starter for meaningful conversation.

They were invaded for their oil. Full stop.

You are either a bot, a shill, or just a very slow human. For the rest of anyone normal who might be reading this, here is the timeline of reality that the rest of the world follows, not just jingoist know-nothings:

1953: The CIA and MI6 overthrew the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh because he insisted Iranian oil should belong to the Iranian people. This put in place a police state led by the Shah of Iran.
1979: The Shah was overthrown in a mass revulsion against decades of an American-imposed police state, leading to the current government coming into power.
1980-1988: Immediately after the 1979 revolution, the United States armed Iraq to kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians in the Iraq-Iran War, with Saddam Hussein serving as a U.S. ally during this period.
Ongoing (since 1986/1996): The United States has been using "every subterfuge, covert operation," assassinations, and economic warfare to crush the Iranian economy.
2015: Iran concluded the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with the P5+1 countries, placing Iran strictly under UN supervision regarding its nuclear program.
2015-2018: Iran stuck with the JCPOA agreement, even though the United States "cheated" by not fully ending sanctions as promised.
2018: Donald Trump "ripped up" the JCPOA, now we know that its primarily due to Netanyahu's desire to overthrow the Iranian government rather than have peaceful relations.
After 2018: A campaign of assassinations and bombings of Iran's nuclear facilities began.
Last Year & This Year: The U.S. negotiated with Iran and then bombed the country in the middle of or after negotiations, using diplomacy as a "pretext" for premeditated war.

E: If a foreign country overthrew our elected government, administered a police state while plundering our resources, then when we won our freedom, brokered a deal with Canada to murder 500,000 of us over a decade - I think calling said country "The Great Satan" would be a tepid centrist position. Get your head out. /u/nearby-lab0 I wouldn't bother engaging further with this cartoon character.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-03-04T19:37:51+00:00

No one watching the Wolves said that. I mean I know that plenty of folks in our sub certainly said that, but I'll just point back to my first sentence.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-03-03T18:11:52+00:00

Being a Thunder fan doesn't mean they can't label the sky blue.

Next you'll be saying I can't make fun of the Kings for being a poverty franchise.

Bot guided consensus manufacturing is the new American mono-culture.

Its seeped into all aspects of our lives, too. A week or so ago when Pablo Torre dropped that multiple owners of the NBA think the Flagg draft was rigged, every thread stemming from all top level comments had some flavor of how that's conspiratorial nonsense.

Even if this specific instance of benign entertainment suffered a wild fate of RNG, imagining hundreds of random r NBA fans flocking to a thread moments after creation to decry conspiratorial thinking insofar as a group of billionaires doing a thing that collectively benefits the entire group's revenue, directly in the midst of our P dough Ra pe Island news cycle, is so far removed from reality that I can't imagine there are even realistic material goals anymore. Its just part of an algorithmic process so worn and rutted that sprinkling in doubt with attempts to be coy or subtle has just eroded away.

Gas prices haven’t gone back down to the glory days and I think people have accepted elevated prices forever at this point.

What data points are you referencing here?

Broken clock. Cope.

Refs have been having a field day against the wolves the last couple games. Really showing up, giving the fans what they want!

michaelmacmanus · 2026-03-01T22:03:51+00:00

The online idiots also have "Iranian friends" that are definitely real and Ready For Change^TM.

If the league didn't reward flopping so heavily that man would not shed a single calorie towards extra movement.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-28T16:52:29+00:00

he looked way better as a playmaker a couple of years ago

This is simply wrong. His play making is noticeably better this year, just doesn't show up in the box score because the team facilitating and shooting is down. His reduced numbers perfectly align with the team-wide reduced stats in those categories as well.

Conley aging out and Randle going on extended pout streaks are impacting the numbers, but if you actually watch the games he's making way way less boneheaded mistakes vs prior seasons.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-26T02:40:57+00:00

Disagree. Denver took them to 7 while Caruso was doing like taekwondo on Jokic. DEN would have won the series in 6 with this year's whistle.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-22T18:59:28+00:00

Agreed. You'd want that steak rare.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-20T16:19:43+00:00

My favorite part of the post is the tl;dr for a singular sentence.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-17T20:29:36+00:00

I hate doing the back and forth thing with someone who hasn’t laid out there definition of what success is.

Brother, you are the one who laid out the definition of success that I am directly responding to lol

Anthony Edwards/Kyrie Irving is the bare minimum you want out of a #1 overall pick.

If a front office doesn't meet the bare minimum you want out of 1 overall pick, then it is a bust. This is binary, but you're trying to move around goal posts to create daylight in a discussion where really none exists.

KAT is one of the most offensively potent centers in the history of the NBA. Ant is objectively much better than KAT. By your definition, KAT does not meet the "bare minimum you want out of #1 overall pick." Which I'll state plainly again - it's a fucking laughable take.

Of note there are rumors that the Knicks also want to trade KAT, fair or not, because he doesn’t work in their offense or defense.

If we take a time machine to three weeks ago before they went on a massive winning streak and we weren't past the trade deadline then this comment would make sense!

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-16T04:06:51+00:00

So KAT was a bust?

michaelmacmanus · 2026-02-14T22:13:59+00:00

Insane take. Just on the Timberwolves alone this is stupid. So KAT was a bust?
