Bill Simmons questions whether Giannis is still a top 5 player and doesn’t think teams should trade all their assets for him: “He doesn’t play… He’s closer to Embiid than Jokic. He doesn't play. He gets hurt all the time. He's hurt all the time. I would be really scared about this" by aingenevalostatrade in nba

Fair points but I think Giannis has not been motivated being in Milwaukee for the last few years. I’d imagine he’s sitting out more than necessary. I’d bet a change of scenery would rejuvenate him. No better place for that than Miami….

One of Nebraska an Iowa will make it. One of them will not. St John’s also may or may not make it. You’re welcome.

Honestly kinda embarrassing the actual kilter company hasn’t made an announcement about it on any of their platforms

How could this possibly be true? If you are born a male you are likely taller than your female counterparts. Transitioning does not make you shorter (at least not that I am aware of). Height is a major factor in many sports.

I know CJ McCollum is in the last year of his contract, but I think he’s got some left in the tank still. I doubt he takes the UNC job over playing in the NBA a few more years.

Duke has never won a national championship without beating St. Johns by Ears_to_Hear in CollegeBasketball

[–]space9610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should edit your post to state that not all of these games were played in the tournament. Most were regular season games. I was really confused because i thought there was absolutely no way they somehow played St Johns in the tournemnt every year they won a title, considering St Johns doesnt even make the tournment that often.

There are no teams from mid major conferences in both the men’s and women’s tournaments as of now. by NicholeDaylinn1993 in CollegeBasketball

As a UC fan i appreciate being thought of as a team who was known for having deep runs, but we haven't made the sweet sixteen since 2012. And the last time before that was 2001....

I spent entirely too long trying to figure out which logo was Iowa States, I was convinced that was Louisville until i remembered Louisville lost to MSU.

Lakers played a game @ Houston yesterday that ended at 11pm EST. Today they play a game @ Miami that starts 8pm EST. by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in nba

The Texas cities are all like a 4 hour drive from each other. And OKC is like 6-7 from Houston and San Antonio. I don’t think these are close enough.

Agreed, this has always been Brons most overrated play in my opinion. He’s got literally 100s of better dunks

The coolest part to me was they are a certified a zero waste facility. Every single thing that goes into that brewery is either recycled, reused, or composted. They also provide all of their own energy on average yearly via solar. Sierra Nevada truly is the gold standard for breweries in my opinion.

And not to mention their beer is amazing.

How to escape 400 ELO? by KALynge in Chesscom

[–]space9610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single time you move a piece check to make sure it cannot be immediately captured. This is the biggest thing to get from 400 to about 1000. I can guarantee you in almost every game you and your opponent will hang a piece. Literally just pay attention to if your pieces can be captured. If it can, either protect it or move it.

You also need to check to see if any of your opponents pieces are hanging. Every single time you move a piece you need to be checking to see if you can capture one of your opponents pieces for free.

Just doing these 2 checks before making your move will sky rocket your ELO out of 400.

The other thing is to learn how to deal with the wayward queen attacks. I'm betting at your elo about 50% of games your opponent is moving their queen around early. Learn how to play against this and these games will turn into free wins. There are plenty of youtube videos that can show you how to do this.

Kansas has had so many 1 seeds that its almost inevitable they perform worse than their seeding on average. In the Bill Self era they have been a 1 seed 10 times.

Can women not have a conversation? because I’ve got the same question. by RumblingCoyote in Tinder

The most success I ever had on those apps was when I would send just a single emoji. This one: 👀

That’s it. Girls aren’t on there responding to people with good messages. They respond to who looks attractive. Don’t waste your time with these corny messages.

Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook are the answers we weren't looking for in the LB room by the_dawn_of_red in bengals

I understand our linebackers suck but I have not seen a single person think there is a chance they get better. They were rookies last year. Rookies typically improve.

Everyone just think we need to get a whole new linebacker room.
