@spaceheater20 @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl I don’t think I said what you seem to be implying that I said

@wise_au @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl Blocking the merger may not have been the right call, but how is it socialism? I thought socialism was when the state owns the means of production (like Donald Trump proposed in this case, and like he’s already done with Intel).

Dear Parents Please sit your children down and explain how Capitalism works, how we are the richest country in the world and that this is the land of opportunity. Democratic socialists like Sen Warren don't understand or believe how Gov't can assist or destroy the private sector

@KentuckyRoots @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl Did you get all the anger out with that one or do you need to strawman and miss the point some more first?

@wise_au @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl Government blocks mutually voluntary transactions called collective bargaining agreements every second of every day and DIPSHITS LIKE YOU celebrate it Hit the fucking reset button we are absolutely fucking cooked

@Dutchman567 @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl But that wasn’t the question The question was whether this was capitalism working, and it obviously was intervention having a negative effect, which is the exact opposite The anti trust arguments were short sighted at best. Now there is one less competitor as a result.

@wise_au @itsmejono @coachbrucepearl Anti-trust laws exist

@itsmejono @coachbrucepearl Government blocked a mutually voluntary transaction, so no.

@coachbrucepearl Didn’t capitalism and free market work in this case?

@LevAkabas If this is an offensive foul, Shai should foul out in the first half of every game. There was zero arm extension and the defender wasn't set. I just want a clear, defined rule to be stated by the league and for it to be enforced equally on everyone.

This "legal guarding position" nonsense needs to end This was an offensive foul (or a no call) for the first 70 years of the NBA An offensive player can now plow into a defender's stomach simply because he's not standing 100% perfectly still?

@BantonesRojas09 @FIREPOLEsnow @jtz115 But its not really a valid point because if they got the same whistle the turnovers for Jokic would have decreased and the margin of victory would have increased

@FIREPOLEsnow @jtz115 Even if he was stupid this doesn't make any sense when he makes a valid point.

Shai Gilgeous had 17 free throws Nikola Jokic had 1 They scored the same amount of points

@bigbamabur27351 @_JHokanson @On3 @JoeTipton @AuburnOn3 @nnarsix_ Its extremely different from the Bediako situation unless the NCAA rules him ineligible and then Auburn plays him anyway and gets a restraining order against the NCAA filed from a judge who is an Auburn booster

@_JHokanson @On3 @JoeTipton @AuburnOn3 @nnarsix_ This is a problem. Not just because it’s Auburn. It’s legal so I don’t blame Auburn for doing it. But this is no different than the bediako situation. I get the whole he left college argument. Both played in pro leagues, some of these leagues are better than the g league.

BREAKING: Auburn has signed French 7-footer Narcisse Ngoy. Ngoy, who turns 22 in July, averaged 10.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.0 assist in France last season. Details: on3.com/teams/auburn-t…

@blockboi_4eva @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology I’m not saying that, all the numbers and analytics say it. You’re the one disagreeing with the metrics.

@wise_au @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology You're the won leading wit emotions to even suggest Auburn should be in 🤣🤨

Closing thought on why I had Auburn in the field: -6 of 7 Auburn metrics were <= 44 (#44 was the last at-large team selected) -Auburn is the first team to ever miss the field (NET era, since 2018-19 season) with every metric <= 46 as of Selection Sunday -Excluding teams that won 3+ conference tournament games, Auburn is the 1st Power Conference school to ever miss the field with both a NET and resume avg < 45.0 -Auburn is the first team to ever miss the field with a resume average < 50.0 and a true road win at a 1 seed -Auburn had three notable elite wins over SEC regular season champ Florida (A), SEC Tournament Champ Arkansas (H), and Big East double champ St. John's (N) -Auburn alone had six wins vs the at-large field. SMU, NC State and Miami OH combined had seven wins vs the at-large field -Auburn played an extremely difficult schedule, #4 overall/ #15 Non Conference SOS, and the metrics account for this Obviously, I could have gone with consensus and had Auburn out. But consensus also had West Virginia in last year... The Committee tends to throw us at least one curveball at the bubble. I took a shot, I was wrong. I can live with that.

@blockboi_4eva @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology Again, that’s already baked into the metrics and analytic sites which said we should be in. So just emotions then

@wise_au @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology 🙄 "wiTH dAtA and nUmbErs" Don't need that to see a 16 loss team that only has 3 wins in their last 12 games shouldn't be in the Feild! Period.

@blockboi_4eva @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology Do you have an argument with data and numbers or just some emotions? Do you have specific arguments against the methodology of the analytics?

@wise_au @NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology AU shouldn't be anywhere near the Tournament!

@NoIncomeTax @JBRBracketology That's already baked into every other metric, which said we should be in.

@JBRBracketology They had one terrible metric that could not be overlooked—a record of 17-16.

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel You keep running away from your arguments because you realize they are bad. Another common trend among the haters. If we scheduled a cupcake noncon we're comfortably in.

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel "We are out because we scheduled hard" but you have to play the sec teams just like the other sec schools do. How come 10 others made it in? Oh yeah, cuz they didn't lose 16 times. Can't beat them, maybe Auburn should move to the Sunbelt.

Can't expand the NCAA tourney fast enough if 19-15 Oklahoma and 17-16 Auburn are getting left out. (Said absolutely no one.)

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel "But fail to mention they played 3 of the 1 and 2 seeds and and lost by avg of 29" So the truth is we played 5 games against the top seeds and lost by an average of 15.8, like almost the entire field would. So you weren't even close. Bad math is the uniting trait of the haters.

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel Not talking about their conference schedule. They don't get a say in scheduling those teams. Unless of course you want to talk about their conference losses too.

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel Still wrong. Care for one more try? Missing any teams maybe?

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel Oh yeah. Good work. 22 points. Put em in the tourney!!!

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel So the good news is you admit you were wrong. The bad news is your math is still extremely wrong at 25. You shouldn’t be bragging about your education at this point.

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel Avg of 29 against purdue, mich, and zona. If you'd like to include losing to Houston then fine it brings the average down to just under 25. Be Proud! And yes that's an average. I didn't get my degree from a 4 year juco

@sorry_charlie25 @BabysitterBari Wait do people actually think this is what happened? Wild

@BabysitterBari He was deemed illegible that’s why he played. When he was deemed ineligible, he stopped playing. Congrats on the #1 seed in the NIT though 🔥

Something about a team playing an ineligible NBA player after being told not to making the tournament while other teams who abided by the rules don’t just rubs me the wrong way.

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel Also your math is either wrong or you don’t know what an average means

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel No I don't think Auburn is good or deserving. The argument that they would wipe the floor is outrageous. They beat Bethune cookman in ot. That's not a good win. Also, you all talk about their wins. But fail to mention they played 3 of the 1 and 2 seeds and and lost by avg of 29

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel Yea they have bad losses. They also have great wins. Those are all baked into their analytics. All the analytics sites have them in the 30s. They would be favorites against a large portion of the tourney field.

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel Sound like you didn’t believe your previous argument since you already shifted away from it. We are out because we scheduled hard and one of our opponents cheated and didn’t suffer any consequences. If we scheduled all cupcakes we are in comfortably.

@wise_au @Roq44 @slmandel Dang they beat someone? That's cool. And they lost to 16.

@Kevin76795864 @Roq44 @slmandel You mean like Auburn did to Arkansas?

@Roq44 @slmandel Like auburn did to Bethune cookman
