I’m an atheist, I’m not involved in theology issues but I did like Francis much more than his last predecessors, probably because he was a reknown commie 😀
Parolin compared to the “conservative” (read: bigot) names floating around would be fine although he’s just a laburist 😉
Anyway we’re running toward extinction, so who cares?

Whooops, my first political post in months! Sorry guys

Back to basketball, any game that Dillon Brooks lose is a win for the good people of the world, go Dubs and Let’s Go Knicks!

Are the Miami players rioting against Riley/Spo or are they so bad at basketball that not even Heat Culture can make them decent players?

P.S. The Cavs are a steamroller

Zach Lowe is too classy to call Thibs out by name but he is murdering the way we play on offense in this series, specifically how disinterested we are in running KAT-Brunson pnr and the terrible spacing. The fact that Bickerstaff has been the worst coach in the playoffs shouldn’t overshadow the fact that Thibs has been awful.

Looks like there are going to be three games on at once for chunks at a time today. Two aren’t even nationally televised. (Knicks preempt the Celtics, that’s kind of a win in-and-of itself, no?)

From what I can tell betting has become our new national religion. I have no stake in the outcome of the Conclave but that doesn’t mean it’s not fascinating.

Feels strange the Knicks are playing tonight. But I guess it sets up better for a Saturday Game 7 or Game 1.

Craziest fact I’ve read is the Knicks haven’t closed out a playoff series at home since Game 6 of the 1999 Conference Finals.

all four games are nationally televised bucks pacers and magic celtics on nbatv and istons knicks clippers nuggets on tnt far as i can telll every single playoffgame has been on national tv that is why the first game begins at 6 not 7

The way the L2M describes Harris’ plain foul on Hart while calling it a correct no call is pretty wild:

Comment:Harris (DET) and Hart (NYK) briefly engage and disengage during the rebound.

Uh, ok. I guess Hart just briefly engaged with Hardaway, too?

What a ridiculous way to describe a pretty clear foul.

Agree Hubert. Easiest loose ball foul call I have seen in a while.

I watched a lot of Dallas basketball during their run to the finals that was fueled largely by Luka Doncic. He certainly has his flaws but that’s hardly some kind of contrarian opinion They Don’t Let You Say. He ranges from the best player in the sport on his best day to maybe the 10th on his worst. I love Brunson dearly, but the Knicks have still not had such a “flawed” player during my lifetime.

Almost everyone recognizes that Doncic is not a good defender, but they don’t recognize the extent to which his bad defense offsets his stellar offense when he’s playing lazy and arguing with refs. That’s why Zach Lowe brought it up.

On offense, people see all the assists, great lobs and kickouts that make limited players better, but they don’t recognize how his extreme ball dominance can limit other players (like Brunson, KP) that can do more than just dunk or shoot spot up 3s because you can’t measure it in a tangible way until they get away from Doncic.

I don’t want to be too harsh on the guy because he one of the most talented offensive players ever and he’s better than he used to be, but I think he’s still overrated.

Brunson has some of the same positives and flaws. The difference is Brunson is in shape, tries hard on defense and gives up his body in the paint. He doesn’t give up “x” points per game just from arguing with the refs during play. Where he has to improve is in moving the ball and getting other players involved and then taking over when we really need a basket or at the end.

not sure that brunson is in tiptop shape by prof athlete standards but never seems to tire and is certainly in better shape than luka so what you are saying comes out the same

Uh, ok. I guess Hart just briefly engaged with Hardaway, too?

What a ridiculous way to describe a pretty clear foul.

All anyone wants is consistency.

Towns get mugged going to the basket several times every game and doesn’t get a whistle and then everyone is in an uproar over mild contact with an acting job to enhance the visual.

I know better than to pay attention to anything 95% of the media says about anything. I’ll just have to put the NBA L2M on my list.

All that said, Hart is way too prone to doing some of the dumbest shit you are every going to see. We are very lucky it didn’t cost us.
