Hey @NBA, I figured how to fix the lottery, and make y’all a boatload of money in the process. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼 A thread 🧵

1- scrap the play-in games.
2- the top 16 teams make the playoffs, regardless of conference.
3- rank playoffs teams by record, regardless of conference.

(🧵 1/?)

@toko_fitted @Latterdaytruth Where, in the world, have you seen Jews recently…? They’re only two tribes, and they’re everywhere. Is it really that hard for you to believe that the other ten got around, too?

Beyond that, tho, ancient Israelites believed you could be adopted into the house of Israel. 💁🏻‍♂️

@tiffanee_dawn From a filmmaking standpoint, Henry’s movies’ story arcs were better constructed.

David’s movie was a bit more uneven. It felt overall more true to the character, but then had stupid things like Lex Luthor directing combat with Supes from a situation room in real time. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@tiffanee_dawn You’re not allowed to say stuff like this, Tiffanee. If you’re not excited for Supergirl, you’re an incel. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. 😩

Jk. I loved both Henry and David’s take on the character. Henry felt more mature and powerful. David felt more innocent and pure.

@JeffBiesinger I get it. To me, Brice and Zay are just the most easily replaceable player types, who still have value. Skilled offensive 7-footers are so rare that I don’t see any value in moving on before seeing whether he can reach his ceiling in a season where we’re actually trying to win.

Welcome to Utah and the @utahjazz family, @Darryn_P1 ! Stoked to have you joining us. Loved how you embraced the team and the fans in your interviews and everything post-draft. Can’t wait to see you on the court in a Jazz uniform! #takenote

@DylanLister88 @DschlopesIsBack Damn. Touchè. Well played. I don’t know Australia well enough to have a comeback for that one… I don’t think I’ve ever been as embarrassed of the state of our nation as I was that day. 😩

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@tiffanee_dawn I’d be good with it. There are a number of guys around the industry that have Boozer over DP as a prospect. I think it’s similar to Dylan Harper vs Kon Knueppel… Dylan had a higher ceiling, but Kon came into the league ready to ball, and is more likely to reach his ceiling. 💁🏻‍♂️

Hey @ThatSunil …is this you in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes…? 👀👀 If you’re not getting paid for this, you should be 😝

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@Latterdaytruth Yes and no. Spirit matter is spirit matter; they certainly could be in the same place. I don’t think they are, though, for the most part. When Jesus died, he went to preach to those in prison, then said he hadn’t yet ascended to His Father- with whom we lived before this life. 💁🏻‍♂️

@johnsmithy1996 @BasedMikeLee So you believe that the standard of Christianity was determined by *checking* a group of men several hundred years after Christ’s ministry who *checking again* were summoned by a quasi-Christian Roman emperor, to determine by popular vote what would be accepted as doctrine? 🤔🧐

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@Sqzbearmom @BasedMikeLee …and how, exactly, do you believe God’s word (the Bible) came to be…? 🧐😅 At what point was adding to it finished?

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@5StarAccount1 @JeffBiesinger The Lakers would do that in a heartbeat.

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@TochukwuAchebe The fact that I, as a genuine basketball fan, don’t know who you’re talking about when you say “AR” without doing a google search says everything you need to know here 😂 Austin is a great player, but no one who’s not smoking Lakers ganja would ever make that trade. Ever.

Ever.

@ThisMomSaid We can’t let others’ weaknesses distract us from the covenants we make. And to the best of our abilities, we try to follow Christ’s example by asking God to “forgive them, for they know not what they do,” and ask God to forgive us as we forgive them.

Sending huge hugs, sis! 💙

[Benjamin Phillips @CharlieKnight27]

@ThisMomSaid Probably the best parallel to your situation is when Peter, who was out as a missionary, stopped eating w/ the gentile converts because he heard that the elders from the Jews were on their way to visit. Paul had to call him out and tell him he was messing up.
