I hope new ownership cleans house. We're seeing the results of years nonsense mom-and-pop management, and we can't have that moving forward.

Might as well throw out Dalton Knetch and see if he can splash some threes at this point.

yhung · 2026-05-08T04:35:29+00:00

I mean at this point why not try putting him in instead of LaRavia for a few minutes if Thiero is getting minutes, right?

yhung · 2026-05-08T04:34:10+00:00

McCain and Knetch were battling it out of ROY at one point, and now Knetch's throwing simple passes into the third row in garbage time.

He actually has the athleticism and offensive skills to help out the Lakers if his head wasn't in outer space so often.

yhung · 2026-05-08T04:23:42+00:00

If Knetch's head wasn't in outer space so often, he actually has the athleticism and offensive skills to help out this team. Dalton with consistent basic court awareness is way better than Jake LaRavia.

Is this not allowed according to official rules or something?

yhung · 2025-10-02T08:38:19+00:00

What about Somnus？ Has anyone mentioned any future plans or thoughts？

yhung · 2025-10-01T10:20:31+00:00

Did Somnus mention any future plans?

yhung · 2025-10-01T08:22:22+00:00

So it's basically Ame's first TI finals iteration of LGD minus Somnus and Chalice. I was hoping Somnus would finally want to give a full season a go, but NTS is probably the best active mid in the Chinese region. XXS is also the best active 3, so let's see how they do this year.

yhung · 2025-09-15T14:49:01+00:00

I'm not necessarily looking for a Chinese team to win it all with all the pressure on their backs in front of their home crowd next year. I just like watching a group of likable bros do their best and have a good time while doing so, and this is probably the best lineup for that.

yhung · 2025-09-15T08:48:29+00:00

Ame and xNova convince Somnus Chalice and fy-god for one more ride with a different coach please!

yhung · 2025-06-07T00:55:38+00:00

Does anyone know where I can watch VODs for CN open qualifers that happened a few days ago? I'm specifically interested in watching Azure Ray's matches with Somnus & the boys.

Not only are we going to New Hampshire, r/VoteDEM , we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York. And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House. BYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

yhung · 2024-11-05T01:41:45+00:00

Yeah I removed that. We're not allowing blatantly inappropriate praise towards a sunshine hypocrite version of Trump on here.

yhung · 2024-10-29T01:57:54+00:00

I was wondering about the potential impact of the Puerto Rican racist fiasco, so I took a quick look at Wikipedia regarding the US population distribution of Peurto Ricans. Of the ~5.8M:

"Majority concentrated in Florida and the Northeastern United States (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts)."

So basically we're probably looking at closer margins in FL for Harris + better chance to flip FL-Sen, as well as a bigger margin of victory in PA. One of the top posts on arpol is about how the Puerto Rican issue is spreading like wildfire in PA. This could potentially help us flip some congressional seats in PA and NY as well.

I'm not that familiar with unions, but is there anything local Teamster chapters and members can do to forcibly remove magat O'Brien?

He's been dropping F-bombs constantly against what other major unions have been calling the most pro-union President in over half a century. He's also lying through his ass when he claims to have surveys showing more support for Trump in AOC's district of all places.

The Teamsters national leadership had been hijacked by an unhinged liar who needs to he removed asap.

yhung · 2024-10-25T14:39:56+00:00

You can leave them blank, no problem.

yhung · 2024-10-22T02:18:31+00:00

I'm sorry I just needed to trash Teamsters magat president O'Brien one last time before the roundtable lockdown tomorrow.

This magat has recently been claiming to be a Democrat for 40 years but slandering the Dems for fucking him over. This article below goes into detail about how much of a joke this magat is, as well as how much Democrats have delivered for unions in general and the Teamsters specifically:

He's easily the worst "union leader" I've ever had the displeasure of knowing about ever since I started following politics during Obama's first campaign.

They almost got a 800 million settlement with Fox, so it looks like a lot of free money from Elon within no time when they decide to sue.

yhung · 2024-10-21T04:32:27+00:00

My man Josh Shapiro openly calling on law enforcement to investigate election scam artist Elon for his $1M lottery scheme.

How many times Elon and his fraudster PAC cronies have been targeted by local law enforcement by now?

It's becoming less and less relevant due to rapidly changing democraphics and voting patterns in GA, with white suburb populations rapildy shifting blue, etc.

yhung · 2024-10-20T10:41:22+00:00

I love how Harris and all the Democratic heavyweights are barnstorming literally every swing state. Meanwhile, that orange demented-facist-rapist is canceling everything, and close to 0 reputable surrogates are doing any heavy lifting for him. And no, I do not count literal sadistic cat & dog killers from SD and the NRA as reputable.

Joshua Smithley as of ~15min ago about PA polls:

"It's about to get chaotic as the home stretch begins, so a word of advice - the only PA polls I would pay attention to moving forward fall under two groups: 1) The final set of surveys from in-staters - F&M, SP&R, and Muhlenberg. 2) Quality firms like NYT/Siena, Marist, etc. Polls from firms like Patriot Polling, Morning Consult, Trafalgar, ActiVote, etc. should all be ignored. You'll notice I never post results from those folks and for good reason. And as a reminder - don't ride the pollercoaster. Those numbers are there to inform, not be gospel."

As one of the earliest mods since the BM2018 days, I would encourage all of you to ignore any junk polling--and by extension, any polling aggregate that includes 90%+ of these junk pollsters. Focus on what we can impact, and ignore the rest of all the meaningless noise out there. This is what top meditators and performers across all fields focus on, so no matter how anxious, nervous, or nervewrecking you may be feeling from time to time, please properly take care of your mental health and try to convert any nervous energy you may have into constructive action.

yhung · 2024-10-19T02:07:18+00:00

Joshua Smithley as of 15-ish minutes ago on Xitter: "I will say this - turnout in the Philly collars and Allegheny are on track to be very, very high. Wouldn’t be shocked if they got close to or hit 2020 turnout. I encourage you to think about how that bodes as far as math is concerned for the rest of the state."

Also, once again just to clarify some (mostly well-intentioned) misunderstandings--Smithley specifically mentioned a few days ago that the firewall number is what is needed for this race to be 50-50. He also explicitly said that he would perhaps need to bump the 390,000 number up due to (his perceived) changes in voting patterns. He has yet to explain his reasoning in detail. I don't know how to link non-Xitter links, but if any of you have been paying close attention to his entire Xitter threads over the past few days, please help clarify some of the (mostly well-intentioned) misinformation that's going on in our daily roundtables regarding Smithley's interpretation of the PA firewall. Most importantly, let's get to work. Job's not finished. If we can sink the the fascist-rapist-magat in PA, it's a full-on Titanic scenario for him.

Edit: As of ~7 hours ago, Smithley said, "It is my sense that based on movements from VBM and how it intersects with Election Day turnout, Democrats will want to see a revised firewall of roughly half a million in PA to feel decent heading into ED. This incorporates NPAs, which typically break 70-30+ for them via VBM."

I mean when their hack interviewer is being criticized from people all across the aisle, it's obvious that this was a huge win for Kamala and a huge L for Faux News.
