Destino

I don’t know if this is the right conspiracy thread but I need to share and this is the one I found. @PleaseBlitz you might enjoy this. feds are marrying conservatives to derail their lives!

We call that the Ben Simmons.

I’m going to say something controversial today. The whole analytics only shoot a three or at the rim thing, leads to a lot of bad shots in the playoffs. Watching guys dribble into a waiting crowd of defenders at the rim when they could have launched a 5 foot wide open pull up is not good basketball. We’ve created a situation where low post players shoot from further away from the rim than guards (when not attempting a three)

Brunson came back and the pacers wilted immediately. Gilbert’s post NBA career can be described like this: say the dumbest **** you’ve ever heard for attention.

Slow walking this certainly helped Trumps delay tactics. None of this is hindsight, everyone knew before the charges that Trump would attempt this. The fact that they failed to account for it is a mistake they must own.

Fanni…. You had a chance to be great.

OKC has 22 free throws in the first half. Not sure if Dallas is fouling too much or if the refs are a little trigger happy, but too much of this game has been spent at the free throw line.

The fact that this is a negotiation is absurd. Hamas has no standing to negotiate anything, they’re beaten. I’d understand this process if Hamas still had the means of exacting a heavy toll on Israel if the conflict continues, but they don’t.

We discussed years ago that Trumps only tactic would be delay delay delay and he’s succeeding again. Blame the Biden admin for this, they dragged their feet getting started and I sincerely doubt there’s a real possibility of a verdict before the election. After which this matters little.

Much is being made by how physical the refs are allowing Minnesota to play defense. Reminds me of when the refs pretended not to see the Cavs grabbing the warriors off ball players that one year. We’ve seen this sort of uneven officiating between games and series before. But this right here requires explanation from league offices I have never seen refs work harder not to give a team techs than last night. Mike Mallone was all the way on the court screaming like a man possessed and not only did he avoid getting thrown out. He didn’t even get T’d up once. Then Murray completely lost his composure and again, nothing. The wolves aren’t making a big deal of it because they won by a million, but this was too egregious to slide by without comment.

Murray ends the game with 8 points on 18 shots. Incredible.

Denver is not running an offense. It’s kind of crazy. They haven’t run a play in a while. It’s all one pass and try to score. they should bench the starters at this point. Why risk injury? This one is ovah.

I love Shaq. If you want serious basketball talk hit up the Lebron and JJ reddick podcast.

I may have been charitable saying the nuggets would only lose by 30. also, this game is doing nothing to convince me Rudy Gobert isn’t as over rated as I think he is. I just don’t like defensive centers with no offense. I think they should not exist in the game anymore. They’re relics.

I said Murray should have a tech. Really he should be out of the game too. Crowd is booing the home team.

And the refs are refusing to T them up. They should be playing without their head coach and Murray and KCP should both have techs. Wolves defense has broken them.

long defenders in the nba do not shut down stars, that’s not a thing that exists. Can they frustrate them? Sure. Usually though what they do is reduce their scoring output a bit and reduce their efficiency. whats happening to Murray is bizarre. He’s having a meltdown on the floor right now, fouling guys for no reason while yelling at refs. Wolves have him rattled. And Mike Malone too, who should have been tossed. They might lose this game by 30.

Murray seems to be losing his composure. Timberwolves have invaded his head.

Murray zero points after one quarter. The nuggets two man game has become a one man game. One man isn’t beating the wolves. Again I’ll say it, either he finds his stuff or this series is over.

Doing this in a playoff game is great.

Every time I watch Myles Turner play I’m unable to understand why he’s so unproductive. He’s very good. Why doesn’t he do more?

Indy is hard to beat when they’re shooting at their averages. They play at a furious pace, the highest of any playoff team. If the Knicks, who had the slowest pace in the nba this season, can slow the game down they should have an easy time. If they try to run with them we’ll have a much more enjoyable series. No telling who wins it though.

did I miss OKC Dallas game one or are Wolves nuggets playing game two before them other guys play their first?

What are they buying is a good question. The new CEO of NPR has a degree, as you’d expect, in a relevant field to radio and journalism: Arab and Islamic studies from NYU. The same NYU that’s being reported to having received massive amounts of funding from the Arab world over the last 30 years. What our prestigious universities teach to tomorrow’s leaders is not a trivial issue. Especially if universities are listing their programs for sale to foreign money.
