PG: Knicks vs Hornets: 12-5-24

[thebuzzardman]

on this topic - one of my smarter friends explained determinism to me. sht ruined the next hour of my life until I realized if I continued to sit on it that sht it would send me into a deep depression, so I actively tried forgetting the whole conversation. she didn't set out to ruin my life by telling me it - it was to have more compassion for people. smarter and better than me. she stays ruining my days

It's tough in the beginning but it's completely liberating after the initial phase. It also makes it easier to connect with people on a genuine, less self-centric way.

can I please read the essay on this one

It involves True Living %

always fck the raptors

Spoiler:

and the guy we tanked a whole season for who ended up playing the most boring selfish brand of basketball.

Rather would’ve been stuck with Zion playing 20 games a season than watching rj for 4 years

We would prolly still be waiting on zion to buy into counting calories. Im just glad leon hustled Masai for OG.

Rather buy into fake hope than watch rj self destruct the team for 4 years that was torture

thibs defenders out here using the space/time continuum to justify his recklessness

"Yes, his leg may have fallen off, but who is to say the 68 minutes straight of quadruple overtime are to blame? If the multi-verse theory is correct, there's a version of Mikal that played all 68 minutes and was perfectly fine. So in essence we can say Thibs was right to play him 68 minutes, because time is just an illusion, as the future and past are unchangeable and will play out as they were meant"


- Knick fans defending obscene minutes load, even though we haven't had a single healthy playoff run with the BloodGod Tom.

People actually draw the wrong conclusions from determinism about agency but it's too complicated of an explanation for here. I will spell it out in simple form : conditions create the environment that produce our experience + there is ultimately one actual outcome = you have no choice. This is incorrect conclusion because they have left out the one element that allowed for the universe to exist in the first place, variability.

Without variability generating probability there would be only the original state and nothing else which would never have produced the physical reality we exist in. Of course this variability lead to mutation in the physical world so ultimately causes our death and the death of the physical existence altogether through entropy. That was the simple explanation, imagine what the more complex one is. woof

This is why I was cool with bringing in zion. His "if" had legitimate hope. I couldn't see that sht at all with rj. Plus he was just a really boring player to watch hoop. Which should be a crime.

Crazy how the one season where we tanked we ended up getting the most boring player you can ever ask for.

[Capn'O]

Mitch should play PG.

[stuporman]

I was thinking there would be some upgrade in Mitch's status of a more moderate degree, I would be surprised if it went from 0 to 100 that quick. I think we would have heard about him stair stepping his activity level up in the injury reports, this must be a mistake.

I knew Brunson fell hard on his back, you could see it in the replay. Yea, I know it's 'just the Pistons' coming up but the last thing the Knicks need is the ghost of Timmay revenge game ruining the immaculate vibes on this forum...or as immaculate vibes as you miserable wretches get.

And we thought coach was just wisening up and giving the cap more rest with a big lead.

But we might have lucked out cause I like where were at more than the other 2 franchises.

Love watching Ja hoop but I'd much rather have Brunson

Explains the decreased minutes last game. Deuce should start. Hopefully Cam is ready to go or Mikal and Hart playing 48.

Leon the don probably would’ve figured out a way to build a contender around Ja tbh but yeah would rather have Brunson. Just wish we cut loose from RJ sooner. Wasted some good years from Brunson and Randle with RJ fking it up.

[stuporman]

Wait...the Knicks are up by 20+ points about 20% of the time which is tops in the league and almost double the amount of time the next most team is? Huh...wow.

Also the Mavs and Cavs have never been down 20 points or is it that the graphic doesn't display how little they have been down that much quite clearly? Knicks been down 20 points like 5% of the time, hm.

for sure but turning rj into og is like turning swamp water into wine - it was worth the wait.

added bonus pawing him off on a division rival, too.
