Love NBA basketball. Liberal at heart but it's complicated.

This stat is very misleading. It doesn't take into account defensive schemes that sometimes deter players from shooting 3s and brings them to the paint vs schemes that crowd the paint with bodies and give up more midrange and threes. Switching vs drop-down makes a difference as well.

I remember guarding my older brother like this when I was 11 and he was 14.

I think 'science' always hurts argument. Most gender definitions are constructed by society anyways. That's why the "what's a woman" dude gets to gloat watching confused 18 year olds. It's a clear moral question: Do we all deserve dignity and equality? Do we get to identify ourselves?

By their logic a dangerous predator wants to assault someone, they can't control their impulse yet a second before they enter a secluded area they're stopped by a sign with an icon of a stick figure in a dress. Oh gosh darn it. I can't pass through that door sign. Wrong gender!

NBA cup Lakers, Game-6 Klay and up 3-1 Doc Rivers leads. I love the game within the game

Her: Does he still love me? Me: Do GMs actually think Doc Rivers is a good coach or he's just a fun dude to hang out with for a year or two

It's not what I mean by echo chamber. If we all played basketball and one of us has a great handle, another is a great shooter and the third is a great defender. It makes for a better more open exciting game.We complement each other. If someone comes to play with a blowtorch they ain't playing.

Yeah. That's the point unfortunately.

For 2 reasons. Tuning out people entirely can create limited thinking and also give unchecked power to those 'reporting' about the other 'side'. It doesn't mean you need to religiously follow extremist propaganda. But to not automatically close the window and listen to it straight from the source

Am I a masochist? A 90s product? Or is it just fun watching the Orlando Magic play defense? Just got around to watching the Orlando vs 76ers game. That thing was a brickfest. And I loved every second of it.

Can you elaborate on what makes it a good legal decision?

Exactly I don't mind discussing or arguing about values or policies. It's treading dangerous conspiracy theories and pure Nazi Ideology.

I am very open minded. I've watched tons of hours of you, JP and many other conservative/libertarian thinkers. It ain't that. Just take a look at the many comments you got for your cabinet picks on X. It ain't about big/small government or conservative values. Pure open 1930s racism.

Bad albums with amazing cover art was my kryptonite in the 90s.

The cycle of bad leadership. The system is rigged for x type people. So let's change system. Can't. It's rigged. So let's bring people who are x type but claim wanting change, and they'll open the door from within. They don't. Once they're in they feel cosy and forget. After all they are x type.

Have you ever had 2 friends who were dating and you loved them both individually but they just weren't good for each other and you secretly wished they'd break-up? Jonathan Kuminga should not be a Warrior. It's a bad fit for both sides. He's playing well which is a perfect time #nba #warriors

What does the Spurs starting 5 look like in 2 yearS? I like Castle, Vassell, (some crazy explosive wing),Sochan and Wemby.

It's a numbers game. It's like a rebuilding team. Draft players into the app, let them cook enough, and it will happen. I remember r/nba on Reddit had 1 million. Now it's at 13 million users.

Having Giannis Antetokounmpo coached by Doc and Ham is like... can't find a good analogy but it feels wrong. #nba #Bucks

@madsey.bsky.social what's more impressive, the Pistons ability to create big leads with great defense or their ability to lose those leads and play to the wire. Whichever it is, I can't keep my eyes off this team #Pistons #nba

I think we need to stop using the term stupid. I think it's "scared". If you do it well enough you can scare people into terrible ideas. The "tougher" and less educated people need to present themselves, the more insecure and scared they are. Cult leaders are just very good at latching on to this.

The "worse nba rookie class since 2013" just needs reps and opportunities. Jared McCain is fire. Anyone who's seen him play knows. It's not always about extrapolating stats to per 36. Real minutes matter. #nba

I love everything but the court colors. Come on, an ADHD nightmare. I miss those clean boring courts from the bubble.

It's so obvious that the Blazers tried really hard to display DeAndre Ayton to sell high and ship him somewhere else and hid Clingan. Clingan is everything they expected early on and it's hard to hold him off any longer.

The Rockets defense with Amen and Tari is incredible. It's tough because Brooks has been nothing but great. But Bari needs to regain his confidence and Brooks is great but ain't the future. #NBA #Rockets

I'll never forget he was considered a defensive guard coming out of the draft. His body control is out worldly
