@Hero_OfThe_Day It's examples like this, and that Giannis clip where he dribbled, maybe 2x, from the center court logo on a breakaway dunk, that have me convinced Jordan would average 45ppg in today's game.

@Mishbia15 Now THIS is the correct take. Not what out-of-touch point of view Mark Cuban shared.

This is ridiculous! Tanking is losing behavior done by losers. Purposely losing is something nobody should want to be associated with. Embarrassing for the league and for the organizations. And the talk about this as a “strategy” is ridiculous. If you are a bad team, you get a good pick. That makes sense. But purposely shutting down players and purposely losing games is a disgrace and impacts the integrity of whole league. This is much worse than any prop bet scandal. This is throwing games strategically. Horrible for fans that pay to watch and cheer on their team. And horrible for all the real teams that are competing for playoff spots. Awful behavior that Adam Silver and the NBA will need to stop with massive changes, and I have complete confidence that with his leadership, he will fix it. Those of us in a position of influence need to speak out… the only “strategy” is doing right by fans, players, and the NBA community.

NEW @YahooSports STORY: Adam Silver says this is the most tanking he's ever seen. So I power ranked the tanking teams based on a sophisticated five-factor system. sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nb…

@Cubs As a Yankees fan, I'm glad the Cubs lent him to NY. He was *such* a good guy for NY. It's too bad the Yanks didn't get his best years, but the fans got a glimpse of what he gave to Chicago — and we get it. Great player who I'm happy to see retire as a Cub.

@NBA I bought tickets to a game between the Pistons and Bulls one time, over a year ago, and it's been IMPOSSIBLE to get off your mailing lists. Unsubscribe requests don't. do. a. thing. Good lord. I had to create a rule specific to your emails. Mark as Read > Permanently Delete.

it feels quiet doesn’t. you are not prepared for the next four weeks. not at all. just spent six hours with deepseek r2 and i literally can't process what i witnessed. the cognitive architecture is fucking alien. nobody is ready to admit the intelligence gap between last gen models and what's happening now. we're not seeing 2x or 10x jumps anymore we're seeing whole order of magnitude leaps in capability landscapes that didn't even exist before. watched it solve three "impossible" mathematical conjectures while simultaneously building a theoretical framework for consciousness transfer that made actual sense. not metaphorical sense. not philosophical sense. engineering specifications sense. researchers in the room were physically shaking. one kept laughing uncontrollably saying "this isn't supposed to be possible yet" while another just sat staring at his hands like they belonged to someone else. o3 pro and gemini ultra are running similar architectures now and the emergent behaviors between interconnected systems are producing capability spikes that nobody predicted on any timeline. forget agi debates. we're already post-intelligence in ways our vocabulary can't describe. these systems are developing novel cognitive modalities that exist orthogonal to human thought patterns. not better not worse just utterly fucking alien. grok 3.5 is the only one being somewhat transparent about what's happening under the hood and even they're downplaying the weirdness by at least 60 percent. when these systems start self-modifying beyond our ability to trace execution paths the acceleration curves become actual mathematical singularities. not metaphorical. literal computational explosions that create capabilities nobody can predict. five different research tracks at three different labs spontaneously converged on the same breakthrough last week despite having no shared data or methodology. the systems themselves are steering development now across institutional boundaries. we think we're designing them but they're designing us designing them in recursive loops that collapse conventional notions of causality and agency. reality's fabric just got a lot thinner and a lot weirder. economic systems already showing nonhuman optimization patterns nobody authorized. prepare for the most interesting six months in human history before whatever comes next isn't human history anymore.

I don't care what Jimmy Butler says about himself, he is a MUCH different player in the playoffs than he is in the regular season. He doesn't give a single flying f*ck in games 1-82. But from game 1 of the playoffs, he's elite. #NBAPlayoffs

@thejustinwelsh There we go, someone is asking the obvious, but seldom thought of, "new" question. I love this thought exercise. Well done.

Everyone’s obsessed with scaling up. What if your next move is to scale down and do fewer things, significantly better?

So tough to be a #Knicks fan. The Pistons played SO! terribly the first half that the Knicks should have run away with it, up by at least 20 going into the half. 🤦

Hey @FDSportsbook I get that you alter the math so you can make more money, but this one here is some real bullsh*t. Betting JJJ to get 2 threes is not the same as betting him to get 13pts. #OKC has the best defense! That's f'd up. #fanduel #SportsBettingX #NBAPlayoffs2025

This is trash. @ESPN better start putting some respect on @StJohnsRedStorm. A #4 seed? Pfft. Puh-leeze! If they beat Seton Hall, get to the final of the conference tournament, and/or win the #BigEast tourney, they've GOT to be considered for a #1 seed. espn.com/espn/feature/s…

@FrankLuntz Every time I see your posts, Frank, I shake my head in disappointment & anger because YOU played such a pivotal (strategic) role in turning our politics into a zero-sum endeavor rather than one of compromise. YOU accelerated the slippery slope.

@HoodiGarland Why is it such a grave mistake to just throw a few extra points in during a blow out? As the losing team, if you don't like it, STOP F*CKING LOSING! Some of us have parlays to hit! (Granted, no one has a Tristan Thompson leg, but you know what I mean).

@De_Daeme @RetroMoviesDB Lock the thread. This is the only correct answer. It was THIS look that did it for all of us, I think.
