    I don’t get it. 

    centel posts something that’s BS, wnba fans, not being familiar with centel, fall for it and get upset by the tens of thousands. earlier this week they made a post about two players getting fined $10 apiece for gossiping on the court and people fell for it.

    something else i’ve noticed about the most overly/undeservedly privileged league in the world is that the announcers are never critical of the players or the play on the court. you watch nba broadcasts and there isn’t a single game where bone headed plays, lazy defense, or too much three point shooting doesn’t get criticized. then you watch angel reese miss five bunnies in 15 seconds without even considering kicking the ball out to someone who’s actually talented, and the announcers are all, “Angel Reese will not give up!! Heart of a champion!!!” regardless of what they say, they do not have any desire to be treated equally to the men. they just want more money and attention.

    Indiana -OKC would be a great finals. Indy don't give a fuck and just pushes pace the entire time. As great as the thunder defense is, the Pacers just make you play differently. Obviously some work left to do for both squads, but I think the  Pacers will give them a series. 

    believe it or not, michael wilbon not only picked okc to win it all preseason and has stuck with that, but beyond that he’s been banging the indiana pacers drum for a long time now. wilbon, who’s pretty famous for hating the analytics trend that has everyone seemingly trying to play the same way, has been praising rick carlisle and his offense all year, pointing out how it’s a different look than what teams are used to in the modern nba. people these days mostly think of him (and kornheiser) as just another pair of yelling heads on espn, but they both covered the nba for a long time (still do) and wilbon has been all over this.

    The best part is he's such a dumbass he can't even defeat a bunch of incredibly annoying reddit atheists. His only tactic is to try his best to never be pinned down on any issue. He wouldn't even admit he was a Christian even though anyone who has even tangentially followed him at all would know that.

    and then the one time he pinned himself down to an issue it was, “if you believe something it means you’re willing to die for it”, which of course was a battle he lost in embarrassing fashion.

    people forget, but like 5-6 years ago he was nowhere near this bad. some time prior to that he even had a lot of useful shit to share with impressionable young men. his descension into this hypomanic, easily agitated idiot needs to be studied. his regression makes joe rogan’s regression look minor.

  5. i’m remembering now that i’ve had this once before and i really like it. not really my jam for this time of year, which is fine because i can just save the other three for fall/winter. i’m normally more into ipa’s, but i see why this is rated so highly. i only really drink ipa’s, scotch, and bourbon, and i enjoy sipping slowly, so this is probably as good as it gets for me beer wise without being an ipa. in fact i like this a lot more than many of my go-to ipa’s, but this obviously isn’t something i’m trying to drink very often. good shit though. imo.

  6. let’s do an arteta check-in in this thread. as i recall, pretty much all of y’all wanted him fired after 18-24 months. i was the only one who still supported him and said that he just needed more time, and to get his own players in. since then, the “arteta out” talk has calmed down, but i haven’t exactly seen any real support or belief in arteta outside of my own posts in here.

    so do y’all still believe in him, or are y’all on that bullshit that everyone else in this forum is on, where you’re unimpressed with what he’s done, and you think we should blow up the entire thing and start over if we don’t win the league this year?

    i think it’s pretty obvious where i stand: we have one of the best managers in europe; he’s turned this club around from being old, poorly put together, and uncompetitive, to a young, world class roster that’s been super competitive, despite the board to this point not bringing in any of the strikers that arteta has wanted since gabi jesus. we’ve gone from getting blown the fuck out damn near every time we play the top teams, to being undefeated against the rest of the big six for 2-3 years in league play. only pep and klopp have been better than arteta during his time here, and only a fool would try to downplay or dismiss any of that.

    thats where im at. where y’all at?
