@ArashMarkazi Why is it framed this way when people already had to pay for cable? The about of games on NBC + ABC is more free over the air games than ever.

Thoughts on the NBA Playoff games only available on streaming services this postseason:

@scottierbarner4 @Fr4noTO Way off. Kyrie is literally a hotep

@Fr4noTO Dallas is wayyyyy to racist to let that happen that’s why they love kyrie the whitest black man alive

Hes gonna surround Cooper with a bunch of 6’9 africans

@ForecasterEnten Psyop

Trump's GOP is holding on to the generational gains they made with Black voters in the 2024 election. The GOP has gained 12 pts on the Dems on party id with African Americans vs. Trump term 1 at this point. Trump's approval with Black voters is higher than it was in term 1.

@DarrellColema20 Game 7 on the Wolves as well

Game 3 in Detroit Game 3 in Indiana Game 4 in Atlanta KAT is building up a big time, road resume in the playoffs for the Knicks.

@BrickCenter_ Make America Basketball Again

Offensive foul on Devin Booker vs free throws for SGA 🤔🤔🤔

@TheLukaVerse @notthefakeSVP @_SVPod Make America Basketball Again

Scott Van Pelt isn’t even being subtle anymore about SGA 💀 “Not a ton of fun… auto whistle.” At this point it’s just out in the open.

@bansky Its a mess. Its against the spirit of the rule and the just completely let it happen

My grumpiest boomer basketball take is the gather step has to go

@Kazeem @pamsson Jumped the shark and ran its course at least a season ago

Can i say something?

@walls_edward This doesn't even make sense. Every year a bunch of playoff games were on NBA TV which most people dont have and TNT which is cable.

I think having the NBA on Prime/Peacock is more damaging to the league than 8 teams tanking to improve their team through the draft. Ensuring fewer people see the most pivotal games especially in social settings is just terrible

@olumidetheeel @sportsrapport Cable is over this is not the NBA or any other sports leagues fault

@sportsrapport Also random bars. Not sports bars. Ten years ago, I could stroll into any random bar in America and between ESPN, TNT, big 4 channels, and the RSNs on cable, there was a 90% chance the game would be on.

Sports are gonna have to solve the watch big streaming games on your hotel TV issue

@dawest76 @MoneyMirCEO You had to have a subscription to watch before it was called cable. TNT was never free and cost more.

@MoneyMirCEO I have Prime lol. More so speaking about people who don't and have to pay the subscription to watch the games

All of these NBA playoff games being on Amazon Prime is wack

@DietBeginsMon Team made the playoffs twice in like 20 years prior its definitely a success

3/4 seasons with a seed of 6 or worse and still owing picks when Rudy is 37….the trade has had *ok* results in real time and is likely gonna age terribly right Multiple things can be true, we don’t have to live in a pass/fail world with everything the wolves do

@KokuKojuto @MikeChaseYT @SpikeEskin Product is better but the game is worse.

@MikeChaseYT @SpikeEskin The product is the best it has ever been. Current players run laps around what players were doing 20-30 years ago. You just need to watch and get the nostalgia goggles off

Nike is in trouble basically because the NBA has lost cultural relevance and Nike depended on the NBA. houseofstrauss.com/p/ubs-report-n…

@Rachel__Nichols They need to set expectations better. After teams are eliminated from competition there needs to be a young player deadline where veteran players can be sat down and its expected. March onwards. Expanded regular rosters. 18 guys and they all play a certain amount. Understudies.

Oh I definitely agree we need to fix this. I just don’t think tying this to the awards ever made any sense. So instead of debating 65 games, let’s ask - why did this happen last night? 1) teams resting guys for playoffs 2) tanking teams 3) players who are legit injured As for 1… this is really only a problem for about five days of the NBA season. I think we could all live with it, if we also weren’t dealing with #2 and #3. As for 2…the answer is not “just penalize teams that are tanking.” The answer is to figure out WHY they’re tanking and fix THAT problem, so tanking is no longer an attractive solution. (personally, I don’t think the current system gives bad teams enough avenues to get better. So tanking is all they’ve got. Solve the problem and you’ll get less tanking. (If you just penalize tankers *without* solving the problem, you have an NBA with a lot of endlessly crappy teams, which helps no one.) As for 3…we need to keep looking for WHY it feels like more injuries are happening. I know players in the ‘90s played all 82 games, blah, blah blah, but obviously players’ increased size, and how much they run during a game, is vastly different than it used to be. Star players are also staying in the league until they are much older than their predecessors, which means we have more big names who are prone to getting hurt. Would a smaller number of games, spread out over more time, help here? Something else? The answers aren’t super easy to figure out, but for me, it has always been a matter of at least asking the right questions, as opposed to throwing out a bunch of penalties on behavior you don’t like.

@bigsnugga They got it in Canada lol

i dont want to speak for the diaspora nor will i ever claim to but are there any other former slave states where there's a movement among the descendants to pretend the slave trade never happened or is that just a CIA thing here like is there an FBA brazil

@PlastiqSoldier @gtconway3d Because they're also racist

@gtconway3d Why is someone who thinks like that even a Republican?

"'There is a divide between the young and old in the party,' said Aiden Hoffses, 19, who had traveled from Maine to attend his first CPAC. … 'I feel like I have closer views with liberals than more conservatives at this point.' "Those views, Mr. Hoffses noted, revolved around issues such as education and health care. 'It’s not fair for someone to graduate college and have $100,000 of debt,' he said. 'We’re sending billions of dollars to other countries. Why can’t we help our own people?'"

@sharma_views Is Medhi a journalist?

🚨 MEHDI: You’re not a professor. JIANG: People call me that. MEHDI: Your channel says it. JIANG: Someone calls himself The God online. MEHDI: No one believes he’s God. But people believe you’re a professor. THAT’S WHERE MEHDI HASAN STANDS OUT.

@mcuban Why are school loans the first thing on this post about Healthcare and the onus on students when the schools are charging obscene amount? Come on man.

Let me help rephrase for you Bernie. Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it. Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment ! Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ? You are on your own 😤 Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation. You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency. If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ? And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now. Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?

@MartinShkreli You cant be trusted clearly

10 years ago i offered NYC $5m to fix basketball courts around the city -- they declined as all fixes would have to go through their unions and $5m might fix a few courts at most.

@Timodc @MacrodosingPod @BarstoolChief @ConnerHKnapp No its not this was obvious take some responsibility

@MacrodosingPod @BarstoolChief @ConnerHKnapp it’s ok to admit the Trump critics were right about him and not endorse the alternative it’s all good! i thought brian kelly was gonna work in BR we all make mistakes

.@BarstoolChief and @ConnerHKnapp voice their disappointment on Trump's presidency and the lack of candidates to vote for in the future
