    Ah yes, Dallas fans clearly have a more measured approach to sports success and quality of titles what all of the recent titles from the Cowboys, Stars, and Rangers. You play to win the game. The bubble title was legit - any of the teams who would have won that would be happy to have that in their trophy room and the fans would have loved the parade. If you have a chance to get that ring then you take it. You think Georgia was happy with being in the college football playoffs before they just won?

    He only cares because he has a weird fetish for defending any and all things Ohio on this board.

    I wouldn't know because the got damn letters are so big I can't even see the big fucking titties. [/non-trivial things that make me surly]

    Maybe if had played or practiced with a team for literally a single time in the last year but if you're Nash how could you possibly insert him unless things are going badly for you? Even if a player wasn't a complete liability on offense and didn't have a history of flaking out I don't think you can play him in the playoffs if it's been a year since he even practiced with any team, let alone a new one.

    Wait you're still talking about things that make the Nets worse, right?
  8. Serak The Preparer
    I'm not so sure that teams are going to go to such extremes to avoid playing the Nets. Clearly they are talented and can put up ridiculous points but they still needed a big 2nd half just to put away the Knicks. Their defense is really bad for a title contender.

    I agree with you. I pretty strongly suspect that @TreatyOak didn't start out trying to figure out how to avoid teaching POC history and denying them entrance to college. But when the outcome is the same as if he started with that goal then it means you don't just get to claim "Let’s get the disenfranchised on the right track, get things evened up, and move forward." Sometimes seemingly good ideas lead to bad outcomes. This should lead to a re-evaluation of the idea, not dismissing and ignoring observations of the bad outcomes.

    Lol you want to accomplish this through raising taxes on poor people so let's not pretend that the methodology of accomplishing goals doesn't matter.
  11. Serak The Preparer
    Eh. context matters. @TreatyOak was asked by at least four posters if he understood the implication that his ideal plan would eliminate teaching of history to POC and deny them entrance into universities. He ignored this every time, instead challenging others to explain what they did for POC, implying that he was above criticism. Now he is certainly under no legal, moral, or ethical obligation to answer questions. But to follow this up with martyrdom, claiming he's being called a racist when there were no such claims, then trying to buttress his claim with a school that does not do what he wants it do to (eliminate all liberal arts), all while saying how willing he is to debate, and it looks like pretty bad-faith posting. I didn't neg rep this to be sure but again, this post is not in a vacuum.

    I think Dell Curry's kids have shown some potential to contribute to NBA teams but yeah, does seem baseball takes the cake. Even more so adding in three of the best young players in the game with Bichette, Tatis Jr., and Guerrero Jr. What really blows my mind is how there aren't like 8 Kemp Jr's in the NBA. Just playing the odds seems like that should be a starting 5 at least.
  13. Serak The Preparer
    Yes - and he certainly has a proven track record of listening to such sage advice and not putting himself in further precarious situations.

    Saying you dislike someone is now "openly denigrating them" and deserving of a pink slip. Boy @clapclapclap and @52-80 sure are snowflakes.

    Always interesting to see when people use the drool reaction. NTTAWT @TwiceHorn!

    What a crock of shit. We selectively berate people all the time. Sometimes it's warranted and sometimes it's not. A theatre berating someone for bringing a box of junior mints is an asshole. The same theatre berating someone for bringing in a full meal is not an asshole. Someone wearing a mask when it is not required has absolutely zero impact on anyone else. Someone not wearing a mask when it is required does have an impact on other people.

    Is the suggestion that Twitter code had remained unchanged for a year, and is now changing because Musk bought into it? It seems laughable to me to suggest that the Twitter code base hasn't changed. I have no idea if they push daily updates, weekly, monthly, etc., but there is no way that it was a static monolith. That comparison makes no sense at all.

    That was way more enjoyable than it had any right to be. I chortled at Harden's gut.
  20. Serak The Preparer
    At the risk of being wooshed, I believe that is just your user name backwards. Also good memory on the 9-11 truther bullshit. I just think of hagbard as the asshole who likes to talk about "nips", always good to remember that people are rarely just assholes in a single way (myself certainly not excluded).

    Hah, I just looked this up after reading his post. At least in NYC, it is illegal to grow poison ivy on any property. I don't know how common that legislation is, but it is at least a thing.
  22. Serak The Preparer
    How many people have accused you of being racist? You are imagining attacks that aren't there. That said, you have also failed to respond to the implication that the end goal of your desired education plan is that POC do not learn history / liberal arts and are also denied entry to universities in favor of trade schools. I suspect that you didn't start thinking about this end state as your goal, but it also seems that you aren't particularly concerned that is the natural consequence of your desired educational system.
  23. Serak The Preparer
    Same - although I don't know how you can beat "This is one of a kind as biglots sold out of them several years ago.". - One of a kind, you know, except for all of the other ones sold in the same big box store.
  24. Serak The Preparer
    Is one of them more valuable than the others, and if so will you tell me which one?

    Take it to the shart thread, this is for basketball talk.
