Destino

Protestors are making it too easy. They’re protesting the wrong organizations and rather than consistently demanding peace, a large number of them seem more upset by who is winning. No way to know how many that represents. Are they peace protestors, or are they in line with Hamas’ goals of destroying Israel. That depends on who you ask, and that is a messaging problem. this movement seems to be well funded but lacks clarity of purpose. It clearly has national level organization but lacks visible national leadership. Students claim to want schools to divest, but how many of us can say that we know exactly what those investments are? Why don’t we? If that’s what they’re using for justification shouldn’t that be in the forefront?

They could collectively take a literal **** in a park and cause a tremendous disturbance and inconvenience, would we argue this a success? It would certainly meet the standard of disruption. When people complain that they can no longer use the park, as it is now a toilet, would we accept “protests are not meant to be convenient” as a reasonable answer? The issue I have with these protests is how disconnected they are from reality. These campuses have no influence on the conflict. No power to change anything that will matter. The demand that college divest, when their arguable investments are minor to begin with, feels like the flimsiest of rationals for doing this. Rather than target those institutions that can make these decisions they’ve, metaphorically, chosen to take a **** in a park.

Antman is absurd. He’s a light out defender too. If it wasn’t for Wemby I’d say it was about to be his league for a while.

I think it was. Looked real familiar too. You saying Denver is a one star team?

Wolves are definitely winning this game. Murray never showed up.

Gordon is so strong. Naz and KAT have both lowered a shoulder into him, and both hit a wall. Antman is ridiculous.

I don’t understand the foul on KCP when Naz ran down the floor and directly into him. KCP was defending the ball in transition, and Naz just ran directly into him. How is that not an illegal screen? Only reliable scorer they’re missing is Naz. They don’t have a lot of reliable scoring role players. They’ve won a lot of games this season despite being a middle of the pack scoring team. they were never as good offensively as they looked against the suns.

Nuggets are up despite Murray doing absolutely nothing. That won’t last. If Murray doesn’t wake up, the wolves will win tonight. Like I said against the suns, the wolves defense is great… but their offense isn’t. They can be slowed by a team that brings effort. The suns didn’t.

If I were the clipper I’d seriously consider playing kawhi half a season. Just sit out most of the first 32 games and the final ten games. I’d try anything to get him into the playoffs healthy. They have no assets and the team is old. They have to get whatever they can out of him before his knee turns to dust. and who would have though his best years were over in that raptors championship? You really can never be sure of anything.

Look at this little guy strut around with his chest out like he wish you would.

They’re also playing without their third leading scorer, Tim Hardaway Jr. Sounds like they expect him back soon though.

Mavericks look good. I didn’t really believe they had picked it up on defense, but they’ve certainly shown in this series. OKC might be in for a fight.

I’ve been married so long I don’t even know what that means anymore. There is no such thing as my money. There’s just our finances and with my wife being an accountant, she’s claimed this as her territory.

This dude shouldn’t be left home alone without supervision. Maybe put in those baby safe plugs in the electrical outlets too.

Classy **** here. Just casually hitting a girl in the head with the ball. Then throwing it at another fan.

Bucks started off on the wrong foot by hiring a nobody to be head coach that ownership clearly didn’t trust. They shouldn’t have fired coach Bud. Ultimately though, yeah the injuries killed them. No team is the same with their MVP caliber player.

I can see his position, that Suns roster should have done better in the post season with everyone healthy. They wildly underachieved. Makes me think there’s a locker room issue.

lol the Celtics are up and down, and they did get shelled by a very injured Miami team. Their uneven nature will be apparent in the finals, assuming they play a healthy opponent. No one in the east has a chance to give them much trouble unless the bucks survive and get healthy. Which is extremely unlikely.

Chatter? Did some Miami fans think they had a chance? lol Eastern playoffs are all injuries. Bucks, 76ers, and Heat all have their best players hurt. im ready for SGA vs Luka. Jokic Murray vs Antman KAT. 2nd round looks great in the west.

Mavs are handling their business in LA tonight. Mavericks Thunder sounds like a good series to me.

Horseshoe theory in action.

I’m not sure the students deserve so much heat. I think the schools need to examine who on their staff is encouraging these protests. Young people are impressionable. They want to save the world. When you’ve got Marxist language flying all over the place on campus framing everything in simplistic oppressor and oppressed terms and urging students to fight for a liberated future, it feels off to then punish students when they act along those ideals. If you don’t want extreme left protests on your campus, stop hiring people that preach it from positions of authority.

Philly refuses to die! in other news Porzingas is out for a few weeks.

You guys feel much more highly about Gobert than I do. I think he’s wildly overpaid and in close fought contests, a liability to have in the floor.

Jokic’s averages for the lakers series. 28.2pts (59.1fg%) - 16.2reb - 9.8ast Now we’ll see if Rudy Gobert is really as good a defender as his awards would indicate.
