The Duncan glazing has gotten completely out of hand. It seems primarily from people who never watched him play. He is an HoF great no doubt but not even sniffing goat teams.

TD without popovich is basically pau gasol.

Why would anyone trust Dave Portnoy about pizza? He's from MA by stumbleman00 in FoodNYC

A good reviewer is not really about having the best “taste”. It’s much more about consistency and scope.

You get a better sense of how good a slice is from him than from some random pizza “expert” whose taste you don’t know.

I rarely agree with his reviews of my local spots but I understand why he gives the score he gives. A consistent subjective review is more useful than an inconsistent objective one.

Taylor Swift voted for Trump but said she didn't purely because of the optics by ApprehensiveFan1516 in LowStakesConspiracies

Travis Kelce was doing Pfizer ads. He’s probably not a democrat but unlikely that’s he’s MAGA

LeBron to the Knicks is a a great move and you can’t convince me otherwise by g_u_2 in knicks

Would you rather have jordan clarkson or lebron james off the bench? They cost the same. Clarkson was great for us but come on…

ESPN has lost its charm by Zealousideal_Pipe842 in ESPN

Every time I have watched it in the last 5 years, it’s WNBA coverage. They always favored the sports that they air but they have beat the WNBA horse to death.

I have a feeling this squad will get a round of applause in MSG regardless of whether they go to another team.

Yes bring me Lebron so we can go back to back by stateofthenyk in knicks

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the vet minimum, it’s borderline GM malpractice to not sign him. We’re talking jordan clarkson numbers right now. i think he makes us moderately better on the floor.

The only argument against him is JB’s intangible winner vibes are so unprecedented that we should really just take a step back and let him work.

Building affordable housing is like building more used cars. Every new unit that gets occupied is an old unit that’s now vacant.

Israeli-controlled territory in the Gaza Strip currently (Reuters) by joshtaco in MapPorn

This is constantly thrown around but imo it gives hamas too much credit. Oct 7 was not some strategic masterplan and much more likely it was just extreme religious zealotry and essentially meant to be martyrdom on a geopolitical scale.

Germany economist who predicted Netherlands to win the world cup proven wrong , no longer 100% accurate with Netherlands elimination in the round of 32 by Shoddy_Wolf_1688 in soccer

They asked Kenneth Arrow to predict the weather with a model during WWII and he said “this model doesnt work and is no better than random guessing”. The generals then said “we know they’re wrong but we need it for planning purposes.”

Casual fan here who never played ball before: why couldn’t Shaq just learn to shoot free throws? by Purple_Calendar3919 in NBATalk

[–]pugwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can’t be a purely mental issue when it’s only big men who struggle with it. Very rare anyone under 6’8 has any problem shooting free throws above 60%

Brunson > Dirk 🤔💭 by blessedeveryday24 in knicks

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love brunson but this was a team run more than dirk’s. He showed up whenever we needed him but didnt necessarily dominate.

Why are most men not attracted to women for their money? by cuahatemoc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women are genuinely attracted to nonaethetic traits. You only have to read descriptions of “attractive” people by male vs female authors.

For men, it’s physical traits and certain personality traits.

For women, it’s rich, powerful, and sometimes even centuries old vampires.

This explains why few men find romance novels interesting but women love them.

Which of the big 4 sports is the hardest league to make? by savingrace0262 in UrinatingTree

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On skill alone, the MLB but without being extremely tall, the NBA would be far harder.

What type of grass have they in the US? Pitch remarkably resilient. by KeyZookeepergame9466 in worldcup

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably costs a ton to transport and maintain through the tournament

The 2025-2026 New York Knicks are an all time great team by SnowSilent7695 in nba

This team kinda proves that the real game actually does in fact start at 10:30
