Allowing a massive drug addict to cut and gut entire government departments that resulted in millions of deaths and massive cultural instability (without USAID) and halting life saving research is so unbelievably shameful.

Dante is a SG, not a PG. That’s looking to be a fatal flaw on an otherwise Championship team.

The NBA is rigged. I’m sure they did all of this as a response to the >10% ratings drop at the beginning of the year but this could backfire. It’s so obviously rigged, people could easily be more turned off by that.

The NBA needs to change. I’m bringing my 7 year old to his first game today to see the Bucks Pistons. Nearly all starters are sitting, except Cade (who is saving the day!). These last games of the season need to be priced differently.
“When I played, you didn’t have to run out to 30 feet to cover a shooter. Now, you do. Back then, you played the game at a very small circumference. Now, it’s a big, wide circle, and you have to cover the entire court. Everyone is playing faster.”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr thinks an 82-game NBA regular season is too much
“I’m concerned about the product because I think we are asking way too much of our players,” Kerr said.

Porter Jr was a great pickup for the Bucks, on the court at least, but he looks easily baited into a costly foul or two when the game is on the line. I’d be shocked if their playoff matchups don’t take advantage of that.

The ending of the Final Four shows how the NBA is just head and shoulders higher quality play. Nearly every NBA guard would have done a head fake so the defender fouls or goes past for a wide open shot. That’s a lot to ask a kid to be composed in that situation though.

I once was asked what the most consequential human invention was in the past 200 years. I said the scientific method. It resulted in the most consequential impact: the doubling of a human’s life expectancy. Long live the scientific method.
