@KnicksCentral Think you took this one the wrong way... he was putting "knicks killer" in quotes saying they should relish chance to beat detroit

Hart throws a lob to Mitch and Embiid called for the foul -- same as earlier, Embiid throwing his body into Robinson's legs. Dangerous play every time.

@RBPhillyTake Forgot how whiny this entire fan base is… really matches the team

@fulknA @KFCBarstool #1 in drives to hoop and like 13th in FTAs this playoffs. You are all just sheep repeating a narrative that isn’t reality
English
@KFCBarstool He probably has to stop flopping and also mix in just a hint of defense.

Honestly, what will it take for the Jalen Brunson INSANITY that has overcome the basketball world to stop? Is it a ring? Does it have to be a championship? An MVP? Both? What will make people move on from the mental illness that is hating on that man
kang@jaycaspiankang
I accept Brunson is a good basketball player but I do not accept the conditions and the methods that make him good.
English
@BenRitholtzNBA Even the end of the bench guys are just throwing themselves into defenders. Wild
English
How is every single 76er trained in shooting only to get fouled?
English
@ryenarussillo Maxey and Embiid get the whistle people think Brunson gets

@KornblumKorner @rBillSimmonsPod Bill has spent 7x more time talking about scoot Henderson this season than every Knick/the team combined
English
@rBillSimmonsPod Bill hates the Knicks. I listened to the pod today for the first time in a few weeks because the Knicks won and Cs lost😄
English
Bill Simmons on Jalen Brunson after he signed with the Knicks:
"He's not gonna be a 'Come see Brunson score 38 in a game' guy”

@WR4NYGov @_ZachFoster @theallinpod @chamath @Jason @DavidSacks @friedberg You are objectively wrong. Say you don’t care but facts are facts. Andy McCarthy: “You’d have to add two digits to the sum of Biden abuses of power, foreign entanglements, and corruption alleged in the report to get near what Trump has raked in just from the UAE.” Just one grift
English
@_ZachFoster @theallinpod @chamath @Jason @DavidSacks @friedberg “the most corrupt president in US American history by an order of magnitude”
They don’t believe that. Many of us agree.
Trump ain’t perfect. His pardons have been disturbing.
He’s not close to the corruption of team Biden.
English
The @theallinpod is the most influential podcast in the tech world.
They are obsessed with talking about government grift & corruption. Utterly obsessed. All 4 of them: @chamath, @jason, @davidsacks & @friedberg
Their blood boils talking about how California state employees abuse the state pension system. Hardly a show goes by without a rant on how corrupt California's and San Francisco's governments are.
Yet they worship at the feet of the most corrupt president in US American history by an order of magnitude. Yet they are true Trump sycophants.
How do they manage the cognitive dissonance?
English
@Based_Otto @Shackleford412 @Timodc Biden family pardons were gross. But doesn’t change how small time their corruption wise in comparison. Trump has been running a cash for pardon grift. Whole cottage industry. You don’t care cause you slurp those orange balls
English
@bgranNJ @Shackleford412 @Timodc Let me know when Trump pardons his son for any and all crimes for an entire decade.
English
I would argue that a fundamentally bad person who tried to overthrow our democratic system and is running the biggest corruption racket in the history of the presidency should be opposed on all counts not just “when appropriate.” So call me a Nicene Creed Never Trumper i guess.
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
@charlescwcooke The difference between the Bulwark and the Dispatch I think is this: The Dispatch treats Trump as a bad president who should be opposed when appropriate. The Bulwark treats him as the Satan of a Catholic Baptism, where you're morally bound to reject all his works and promises.
English
@Shackleford412 @Timodc Does an acceptance of overt fraud and corruption as standard practice have any impact on our lives? Assume you consumed lots of lead growing up.

English
@Shackleford412 @Timodc Andy McCarthy: “You’d have to add two digits to the sum of Biden abuses of power, foreign entanglements, and corruption alleged in the report to get near what Trump has raked in just from the UAE.” Just one grift of many
English
@Timodc Yeah so a businessman becomes president, he and his family continue to make money, and somehow that’s “corruption” that inexplicably justifies expanding the Supreme Court? Luckily for you there’s a deranged outfit that would hire an idiot who worked for Jeb!
English
Incomprehensible. You had one job as a coach on that possession. Do not allow CJ to work in his comfort zone. Coaching failure.
DJ Zullo@DJAceNBA
You do everything necessary to keep Hart onto McCollum. Hart on McCollum was a GOOD coaching adjustment and wasn't one you go away from with the game on the line. McCollum doesn't feel McBride.
English
@CPTheFanchise Coach is a clown. This is why you don’t fire thibs without a plan. You end up with this bozo getting clowned in playoffs.
English
Wing defense has been good all series. Last defensive sequence and Mike Brown goes back to a shorter guard to guard CJ who has been cooking shorter guards the entire series. Puts his best defender on Okongwu, best big man defender on the bench. Not even Hart on CJ. Why?
English
@shwinnypooh Just embarrassing from the coach. And his comments have been even more absurd.
English
Lineup to start the 4th w Alvarado had never played a single second prior to tonight and the lineup w Clarkson had played 4 minutes.
Mike Brown is having a total meltdown and getting rings ran around him by Quinn Snyder that's only matched by whatever this has been from Bridges.
English
@Steven_Hyden I learned of them through you… didn’t connect like a Ryan Davis or Florry for me. IMO their ubiquity seemed to outpace the merits (so this plays to my priors). Thanks for acknowledging the unseemliness of these tactics (even if necessary) versus the “of course this happens, duh”
English
I wrote a big essay about a quirky band I just heard on TikTok called Geese! Other topics: marketers marketing marketers, constructed "relevance" vs. personal taste, REO Speedwagon vs. The Clash and whether shady PR in service of great music is justifiable tinyurl.com/3b8ruv8b

How does it cost $48 million for 8 games? The train line to Meadowlands already exists.
Does it cost that much for Jets/Giants games?
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

@grace_roso Astroturfing sucks full stop.. in politics, Hollywood or music. Many PR firms have rules against it in their codes of conduct. That so many music writers and industry adjacents are defending the practice is very odd to me
English
Wrote about Geese, Chaotic Good, the sanctity of “indie,” and how we got to this weird place where fans are posting like marketing coordinators and marketing coordinators are posting like fans pastemagazine.com/music/geese/co…
English
The Geese story seems to be they had real momentum and then put fuel on the fire by hiring, drumroll please, a marketing company. Everyone who is acting like they are some astroturfed frauds who are taking away opportunity from others is glad for the chance to be a hater. Cmon.
