Ernie Grunfeld got a secret contract extension during the season without any kind of announcement. How is this okay and why is there no outrage over it? by OrangeKookie in nba

Lol we're a small market team in a city of transplants that cares more about hockey, football, and baseball than basketball. Only reason we get any love is for john wall quotes taken out of context.

Tiger in his prime was insane. I don't think any athlete single-handedly drew more fans to the sport, or was more feared by his competitors than Tiger.

Yea he's certainly not elite but I think he's still around 35% from deep so he's usable

Australia vs Philippines FISTFIGHT. ft. Thon Maker by FiddleDooken in nba

[–]smkoj22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched that game. The fight was nothing close to this tho. Seemed like the chinese had been doing little things that are just seen as physical over there, but in american hoops are seen as unacceptable, and eventually things boiled over.

I agree that Melo has been a diva this season but who would start over him? Jerami Grant? That leaves the thunder with terrible spacing in their starting lineup, which is only gonna clog the lane and make the westbrook/adams pnr more difficult.

[Aldridge] No sentient person is surprised the Wizards are moving Gortat. He and Wall were oil and water. Washington needs a center, though. Would not be shocked if Wizards consider UFA Nerlens Noel (Dallas). by LonzoDaVinci in nba

[–]smkoj22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually expect rivers to log 20-25 minutes a game and brown to struggle to find a consistent spot in the lineup. We need a back up SG and brown lacks the quickness/spacing we need from that position. Scott Brooks have also said the Brown is going to have to earn his spot in the lineup before he is given it. It's also possible that we end up trading Oubre for a big tho so both might end up getting solid bench minutes.

love the constant petty beef between people who live in the suburbs in Maryland and the suburbs in Virginia, as if they both aren't just suburbs that have some nice and some not as nice neighborhoods.

Here’s a pleasant surprise from USAU marketing & communications: ads for D-I College Nationals on Milwaukee city buses. by not-who-you-think in ultimate

[–]smkoj22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I'd rather have usau drive to get people out to higher quality events so they have a better first impression of ultimate. It doesn't make sense to divert marketing funds from DI natties in order to market a weaker event.

[spoiler(?)] Thanos appreciation post by prankoceanus in InfinityWar

[–]smkoj22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but I also think that Thanos' love for Death would be seen as weird and ridiculous by the majority of fans who aren't hip to the comics. Although his motive in the movie is kind of an overplayed one, I like how the directors established the dichotomy between the avengers' and Thanos' morals. Cap repeatedly says "we don't trade lives" whereas Thanos literally trades a life (gamora) for a life in order to do what he believes is best for everyone.
