I'm a Sochan believer but you simply cannot bench Diawara the way he's been playing, #51 is legit

I'm almost sad Thibs isn't here for this because Jose/Deuce/Hart feels like his basketball fever dream πŸ˜‚

I might need to get a Jose Alvarado jersey

Absolutely zero chance Netanyahu and Trump have any plan for what comes next. Do they think the Iranians are gonna overthrow Khamenei and have Reza Pahlavi return as the Shah?

A shame Cheney/Rumsfeld didn't survive to see this day. Venezuela + Cuba + Iran in a few months was the neo-con fantasy

Yeah not afraid, they just don't seem like a no-stress 1st round matchup. Though if Mitch is healthy that could be fun

In moments like this, I can't help but think about what might've been if we'd elected Elizabeth Warren instead of Joe Biden. Not sure there's any other Dem with status that's been more concerned about going after these monopolies

We have Trump running around trying to cosplay as Viktor OrbΓ‘n and an actual Democrat congressman is like, "yeah let's let him start a war with Iran without Congressional approval."

Is Gottheimer smoking dust? Or is the AIPAC money just more important than human lives and American democracy?

I am *NOT* usually one of those "we have to primary everybody who isn't a perfect Democrat" type people, but this is INSANE. When is Gottheimer up for re-election? He has to be primaried, this is absolutely unacceptable from a (D) congressman at this point in time with these stakes.

I low key don't love that lol. Not that I think Philly is better (they aren't) but Maxey + Edgecombe are scrappy and have infinite energy and there's always a *chance* that Embiid is relatively healthy.

That just feels like one of those "ugh this is round 1" type series lol

Oh I agree for sure, I'm just saying it seems iffy based on how they've reported it. I'm hoping I'm wrong though, that Deuce/Jose tandem would have opposing backcourts in hell

Yeah but what are the odds he's back 100% as soon as the playoffs start? I haven't seen any optimistic reports saying he'll be ready for the postseason

Bummed about Deuce news, I was looking forward to seeing him and Jose press teams together fullcourt in the playoffs

Macri caught flak for it but he was right, this team isn't likeable at all lmao

Alvarado has way more juice in the P&R than I thought he did

KAT blowing it with a defensive lapse is just too perfect lmao

The sad reality is that we are mostly a selfish society. They don’t care add long as it don’t affect them personally. It really got truly exposed with Covid as half the country refused to cooperate on safety measures to stop the spread.

Man you're speaking the sad truth there. The craziest part is that pretty much every single American who has found any form of success, found it because of the system that they're now trying to dismantle

100%, they intentionally targeted vulnerable groups with that disinfo as well (like the MN Somali community). I don't wanna say it was a plan to wipe out vulnerable communities but it sure as hell looks like one now

It's still so wild to me that people CHOSE this. Like are that many people really so afraid of a black president and healthcare, that they'd rather have fascism and the destruction of the international system?

Agreed. The only problem is, that requires a spine and a sense of moral clarity.

Instead the Dem establishment is more concerned with progressives winning, aid to Israel, and maintaining the illusion of "bipartisanship."

This whole administration is an embarrassment. Every single one of them is a disgrace smh

NEVER. There is only one person on the roster who has contributed to more Knicks wins over time. Even if we counted Randle, Hart is still up there
