Only thing consistent this season is every coach crashing out over the preferential treatment of the @okcthunder truly devastating what silver has done to the integrity of the @NBA

Okay Thunder Fans. What’s the nickname gonna be? Continental Coliseum is a sick name, don’t get me wrong, but eight syllables is a lot for radio.
OKC THUNDER@okcthunder
We’re proud to announce Continental Coliseum, a 15-year signature partnership with Continental Resources for the new state-of-the-art arena rising in downtown OKC and set to open in 2028.

@ruka_mikami lol it means the Thunder are up by so much because of him that he can sit.

@nocontextcfb We all know that those cans weren’t all just Red Bull…

“Continental Coliseum” sounds pretty cool… but it’s a bit of a mouthful.
We’ve already got “The Coliseum” down the road (OG&E Coliseum).
So what’s the play here? What are the fans going to end up calling this bad boy?
OKC THUNDER@okcthunder
The future new home of the Thunder has a name! Thunder and Continental Resources team up for a long-term arena partnership 🏟️

@BuffalOKstate What if we just put of these together up and down Hall of Fame and Duck?

Mason Home Builder@bankertobuilder
Home Depot sells this house for just $43k After buying land, paying for labor to assemble it, getting utilities hooked up, pulling permits, pouring the driveway, setting up plumbing and electrical systems, landscaping, and property taxes, it only costs $497,000 to own your own home Why aren’t more people doing this?

@ShaiMuse_2 @dwachs2006 lol imagine being so good that winning championships in the G league was a thing.

BREAKING: Iran built a subway system for ballistic missiles inside a granite mountain south of Yazd. Automated rails move warheads and transporter-erector-launchers between assembly halls, storage vaults, and three to ten blast-door exits carved into the mountainside at depths reaching 500 metres. A TEL rides the tracks to an exit, surfaces, fires, and retreats underground before the strike aircraft can respond. The mountain has been under construction for two decades. The IRGC did not build a bunker. It built a weapons factory with its own internal railway, buried deeper than any conventional bomb can reach.
The United States and Israel have struck Yazd Imam Hussein on March 1st, March 6th and March 17th and even earlier today!
Satellite imagery shows collapsed portals, cratered ventilation shafts, and destroyed surface infrastructure. The visible damage is real. The invisible infrastructure is intact. On March 20, a long-range ballistic missile launched from the Yazd complex, failed during boost phase, and crashed near Kohistan Park inside Yazd City itself. The launch failed. The fact that it happened at all is the proof. Three weeks of precision strikes on the portals did not stop the railway behind them from delivering a missile to a surviving exit.
The engineering is simple in concept and devastating in practice. Each blast door is a separate exit point. When one is destroyed, the rail system reroutes to another. When that door is struck, it is backfilled with soil and concrete by the IRGC from inside, then re-excavated when the bombing pauses. CNN satellite analysis confirmed the rail layouts. Alma Research mapped the tunnel networks. The IDF acknowledged that approximately 60 percent of launch infrastructure has been destroyed. The US estimated 50 percent of capacity remains. That remaining 50 percent rides underground rails that no bomb in the American or Israeli arsenal can reach at 500 metres through granite.
The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the largest bunker-buster ever built, penetrates approximately 60 metres of reinforced concrete or roughly 40 metres of moderate rock. Granite is harder than moderate rock. Five hundred metres is more than twelve times the weapon’s maximum penetration depth. The gap between the bomb and the tunnel is not a margin of error. It is a physical impossibility. The mountain does not care how many sorties are flown above it. The railway does not care how many portals are sealed. The geology is the defence, and the geology has been there for 300 million years.
This is why the war continues. Every missile that hits Arad, Dimona, or central Israel was assembled underground, moved on rails to an exit, and fired from a door that may have been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times since February 28. The persistence of Iranian missile fire despite three weeks of intensive strikes is not resilience. It is infrastructure. The IRGC did not prepare for this war by building rockets. It prepared by building railways inside mountains. The rockets are replaceable. The railways are permanent. And the granite that protects them was formed before mammals existed.
The strait is 21 miles wide. The mountain is 500 metres deep. And the railway inside it is still delivering missiles to the surface.

The United States bombed Iran’s Imam Hussein missile base south of Yazd on March 1st, March 6th, and March 17th. On March 20th, a missile launched from the same complex, failed during boost phase, and crashed near Kohistan Park in Yazd City itself. The base is still launching. The missiles are failing. And when they fail, they fall on Iranian civilians. Three strikes on the same base in three weeks and the base is not dead. It is degraded. The difference matters. The answer is underneath 500 metres of granite. Iran’s missile bases are not buildings. They are mountains. The IRGC spent two decades carving tunnel networks into ranges south of Yazd, east of Tehran at Khojir and Parchin, and across Shahrud and Isfahan. CNN satellite analysis confirmed automated internal rail systems that move missiles like train wagons between multiple blast-door exits without surfacing. The US bombs an entrance. The missile exits a different door. The rail moves the launcher to a third. Each complex has between three and ten exits. Many have been backfilled with soil and concrete to absorb strikes, then re-excavated from inside. The tunnel depth is the variable that no amount of precision munitions can overcome. Five hundred metres of granite is beyond the penetration capability of every conventional weapon in the American arsenal. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the largest bunker-buster ever built, penetrates approximately 60 metres of reinforced concrete or 40 metres of moderately hard rock. Against hard granite it penetrates far less. The deepest sections of Iran’s missile cities sit at least ten times beyond that. The strikes destroy what is visible: ventilation shafts, portal frames, surface infrastructure, vehicles caught outside. They do not reach the rail networks, the assembly halls, or the storage chambers buried inside the mountain. The failed launch proves the system is degraded but not destroyed. The missile reached boost phase and then fell back onto Iranian territory near a civilian park. That is not a success for Iran. But it is not the elimination of capability either. IDF estimates suggest 60 percent of Iran’s national launcher stockpile has been eliminated. US officials place the figure closer to 50 percent remaining. The difference is the underground inventory that satellite imagery cannot see and bunker-busters cannot reach. Mobile transporter-erector-launchers mounted on eight-wheel trucks exit the tunnels, fire, and retract or reposition within minutes. The doctrine is called shoot-and-scoot. It was developed during the Iran-Iraq War when Saddam’s air force hunted Iranian Scud launchers across the western desert. The IRGC learned that mobility is cheaper than armour. A truck that moves after firing survives. A silo that stays still does not. Production facilities at Khojir, Parchin, and Shahrud have suffered 60 to 70 percent damage. But missiles built before the war and stored inside mountains before the first bomb fell are still there. The rail moves them. The blast doors open. The TEL rolls out. The missile fires. The TEL retreats. The entrance is bombed again. Inside the mountain, the next launcher is already moving to the next exit. Natanz taught the world that you cannot bomb an equation. Yazd is teaching the world that you cannot bomb a geology. The physics of fission survived five strikes because knowledge is immortal. The missiles of Yazd survived three strikes because granite is harder than any warhead designed to penetrate it. Both lessons will outlast this war. The mountain does not need orders. The rail does not need a supreme leader. And the next exit is already open. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Lmao they will say anything. Quiet when Wemby won all of February

the Oklahoma City Thunder are the only team left undefeated in the month of March. winning matters when it comes to MVP.

@HoodiDavis That would mean you haven’t watched any of his games…

Son, I never saw Luka Doncic do this 😭😭😭😭
Vexx@WeLuvVexx
Name a bigger foul baiter than Luka… I’ll wait

@statmuse People will look at his last 9 game stat line and still say "SGA MVP." Meanwhile OKC roster is 3x better than the Lakers and it's a 41 year old LeBron and Luka 2v9 every night

I find these so hilarious, because every time y’all do this he goes for 30+ lmfao

Oh yeah wrap it up bro

@LarryFishburger @pastaravioli If you aren’t playing grab ass in the frozen food aisle, are you even married. Bonus if your kids see you and are horrified.
English
@pastaravioli Mfs just be marrying people they can’t actually stand being around and then are baffled how normal relationships can just spend the day at Costco and VIBE.
English
Radical thought here but some people marry someone they enjoy being around and actually love hanging out with their kids.
Murray Hill Guy@MurrayHillGuy1
How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?
