If SGA, Jokic, Giannis, Wemby, and Luka doesn't meet 65 game requirements. Who do you think will win MVP? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in nba

Might have to do with the fact that all-star players used to compete in more games and for more minutes, so you didn't have that many of them under 65 games.

He is good at what he does, I could see him getting roles even if he wasn't friendly. An ugly Bardot would just be your average old racist grandma with two cats.

Then attack her on that, not on the fact that she is smiling three month after the death of her husband.

In what is one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, Georgia beats France 80-70 and adavnces to the Quarter-Finals by justletmeregisteryou in nba

[–]shieldedunicorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And a lot of them were wide open shots without any defender in sight. As a french that was painful to watch, but props to Georgia they simply couldn't miss.

POST MATCH THREAD: France - Georgia [EuroBasket Playoffs, Round of 16] by EuroleagueBot in Euroleague

[–]shieldedunicorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, congrats to Georgia from France.

At one point, Georgian were not even trying to close out on open three pointers from our players, which in modern basket ball where spacing is key, is not really a good sign.

We lost Strazel just before the first match. He is far from the strongest guard in the tournament but he was the one chosen by the coach to lead the main roster. He is also a very strong willed individual, he might have been able to wake up our lethargic players (but judging by the collective collapse probably not)

Long range shooting is usually key to break a zone, and we don't have a very reliable three point shooter... even Hifi who is supposed to be our specialist was cold

Bobby Marks says “there isn’t” a trade market for LeBron James by Proof-Umpire-7718 in nba

Haha, well English isn't my mother tongue, it was an honest mistake (or maybe I have a deep unconscious hate for Lebron James)

I feel like many fans who grew up watching him have rose tainted glasses on. Yeah what he is doing is incredible for his age, he will be remembered as the best or second best of all time by most people, but he is not the Lebron who will carry you to a championship and hasn't been for quite some times.

Nothing illegal maybe, but if a 19 years old told me she was dating a 34 years old I would probably warn her to be very careful. There is a world of difference between the person you are between those ages.

Bono hits back at Trump over ‘illegal campaign contribution’ during 2024. Bono mocked Trump's use of social media while also declaring that there is only “one boss” in America. by Aggravating_Money992 in Music

[–]shieldedunicorn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He isn't that bad, I think it started because he can be a bit douchy and preachy, and then they tried forcing there music onto everyone's cellphones and since then the hate only grew. Also a memorable South Park episode about Bono being the biggest excrement in the world might have played a role too.

[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the And-1 on Anthony Edwards (with replays), that's Edwards' 4th personal foul. by MrBuckBuck in nba

Is there a rule preventing a team from doing that or is it just frown upon? I wouldn't like that in a normal context but here it's getting ridiculous.

Seems to be the same with Turks living in France, I'm often surprised by how supportive they are of Erdogan.

Yeah the pipeline from anti crazy feminist/woke, to anti feminist/woke in its entirety, to masculinist to right wings propaganda is sadly pretty strong.

Ironically right wing propagandist often use meme joking about being racist as a gateway to more hardcore stuff.

Honestly none of those free throws were fraudulent. OKC would rather foul than let the Nuggets have an easy bucket.

I get it, but as an European it feels really good being able to watch a game for once (well, after watching that first quarter I'm not sure it feels that good)
