@KushagraSi63415@neomarioism@rieszspieces do you want to wager - will the knicks have a better defensive rating with KAT on or KAT off in finals? I will take KAT off if you wish to take me up on it
@KushagraSi63415@neomarioism@rieszspieces to make a more clear point: not every player in a good defensive team is good defensively (e.g., brunson )
and he just is not good rim protector. he averages 0.5 a block a game and opponents only shoot 2.8% worse at the rim when he’s there (poor for a center)
@KushagraSi63415@neomarioism@rieszspieces he was effective against the nuggets bc playing two bigs is effective bs the nuggets. but he did do a good job.
He was also less bad defensively playing next to Gobert when he didn’t have to be the primary rim protector. as a primary rim protector he is still awful
@KushagraSi63415@neomarioism@rieszspieces the wolves defense was good with Gobert bc they had Gobert who is a walking top 10 defense. It’s not like wolves fans are on twitter bemoaning the lack of Town’s defense
@neomarioism@rieszspieces i don’t think a graph encompassing a 14 game sample is dispositive at all. He’s been one of the worst defensive centers in the league his entire career (at least among starters). He can’t switch or protect the rim and he’s massively error prone
@JewishWonk what this is missing is that 1) President is very different than Senate. A senator is much more of a partisan fill-in with less responsibility and less discretion and 2) Trump is the president, and Platner will oppose him better than Collins. I hate the guy but still hope he wins
@jonfavs “because he and his wife chose not to share that they went through marriage counseling to deal with infidelity”
Yes ppl are upset that they chose to conceal the marriage counseling how estute
@showmeopie collins got 51% of the vote in RCV. Basically all of the third party votes would’ve gone to Gideon, so the it’s more likely dems were ~2 pts from flipping the seat, not 8
@Mike_from_PA@mistergeezy “50/51” 43 states were basically free spaces, and the swing states were likely to all go in the same direction
this ridiculous self glaze
