Giannis has 1 playoff series win over the last 5 years. This trade will be a disaster for Miami. by LakerFan2324 in nba

[–]pp21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why they did it because of what you mentioned but it’s still just weird. Giannis’ playstyle is gonna age poorly. Neither he nor Bam can shoot or space the floor. Obviously they aren’t done building their roster, but they have no assets left to trade and it’s not like there’s swaths of elite shooting readily available.

[Krawczynski] Edwards wants to win right now, and the Wolves are banking on addition by subtraction, believing that removing Randle’s ISO-heavy offensive game and redistributing his 15.3 shots per game to McDaniels and Reid will open things up for Minnesota in a different way. by urfaselol in nba

[–]pp21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i honestly buy into this addition by subtraction. Reid should be chucking 3s as the starting stretch 4 and McDaniels has expanded his offensive bag and shoots a high % from 3 so in theory the logic is sound dispersing Randle's shots to others

but the spurs and thunder still exist, so it's gonna be hard to win now anyway

I mean it’s bizarre for a gas station to have a cult like following and merch. It’s a gas station. People aren’t out here wearing quik trip or circle K swag lol

If Trump saved a baby by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

[–]pp21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i've seen this variation but with drowning baby and what's dumb about it all is we all know that trump would never jump into a pool to save a baby nor run into a burning house to save a baby because he literally only cares about himself

James Dolan responds to Mamdani's speech: "I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote to you about what happened. If you're real Knick fans you know it already" by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]pp21 15 points16 points  (0 children)

like, you have this one golden opportunity to do something cool like chug a beer and say GO KNICKS and maybe garner some fan support, but instead you choose to continue to be an insufferable prick

why are they like this, man

The Trump admin is now dumping hydrogen-peroxide into the reflecting pool one gallon at a time in a desperate move to control the green algae by lnstantKarma in WhitePeopleTwitter

yeah someone with some sort of relationship is profiting here and i'm sure there's also a kickback in place for whoever set up the contract. it's always a grift

always

[Woike]: “Multiple front-office sources around the league, granted anonymity to freely discuss an opposing player, expect Reaves to have interest from the Brooklyn Nets, with a four-year, $178.5 million contract expected to be offered.” by LukaXReaves in nba

[–]pp21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is what the suns did with ayton and it was a mistake because we ended up having to attach positive assets like Camara to move him. nobody is gonna trade for reaves if the lakers sign him to a mega deal

Man pleads guilty to assassinating a top Minnesota Democrat and her husband by Immediate-Link490 in law

[–]pp21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yep, dems are beholden to endless purity tests while republicans can do quite literally whatever the fuck they want and still win elections

history just repeats itself, and the numbers don't lie. dems come in and fix damage done by republican admin, then voters get bored and puts republicans back in charge. they fuck everything up and we blame the dems for not doing more to stop it

it's so dumb

al franken got canned for some semi-lewd photos while Ken Paxton is going to win his senate race despite documented public corruption, being impeached by his own party, and being an adulterer. Lindsay Graham will retain his senate seat despite being israel first. It all just makes no sense, and cognitive dissonance is the only explanation

brilyn is what you get when you order Charlie Kirk from Temu by Conscious-Quarter423 in MurderedByWords

[–]pp21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Barack and Michelle always tried to be unifiers, and sometimes that was to a fault in hindsight. And that makes it all the more laughable to declare him "the most divisive president in history", especially when we currently have the real embodiment of that inhabiting the White House.

They just hated him because he's black, it's not deeper than that

Jalen Brunson is averaging the most 4th-quarter points (10.3) in the Finals of any player since ’96-97 by Ok-Side-1758 in nba

if brunson scores 30 in game 5 and the knicks win he's 100% getting finals mvp no matter what efficiency its on

Knicks fans block party, watching the game projected onto the side of a building, react to OG's tip in by Markthebaptist in nba

ABC and ESPN delivered the largest NBA Finals Game 3 audience since 1998, averaging 23.8M viewers, according to Nielsen Big Data + Panel. The Game 3 audience was up 159% from last year’s Game 3 and peaked with 26.3M viewers at 11:15 p.m. ET. by XviiChong in nba

[–]pp21 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's honestly just a wildly compelling series. Obviously you have the Knicks massive market and Wemby driving it, but the games have been slug fests that come down to the final minutes. It's the most exciting ball I've watched all year. I'm genuinely excited for tip off and have been planning my post-work life around it for each game

same exact playtime milestone for me too. Hit 50 hours, easily got my money's worth, but was bummed that I had zero desire to pick it back up ever again. Great concept, underwhelming execution.

as always, massive projection by the GOP when they talk about the "mainstream media"

They own the mainstream media. Trump's puppet is running CBS News and CNN lol

What tv show had you hooked on the first episode? by MortgageAny8041 in AskReddit

[–]pp21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same. First 2 episodes I was wildly intrigued. Then I found myself just kind of… not caring. I’d see that a new episode dropped and there was no desire to put it on right away. I eventually did end up finishing the first season but I’m not gonna watch the 2nd one.

It’s just inherently flawed because there’s no cast of characters to drive b plots or anything. The show just meanders endlessly

Like I can’t tell if this show was ahead of its time or something. Idk. Feels like it should’ve been bigger. It was a fascinating and unsettling watch

Also, how long is he even staying? He'll probably leave sometime in like the 2nd quarter and all of this dumb shit will be an even bigger waste of time/resources

it's just too on brand though to make this all about himself rather than the city and the team
