    theyre not taking a hit now because of the product, why would they give up the revenue? people go see teams when theyre winning, not because they love to see well played basketball. and your last part is the real truth. players arent going to suddenly be available more if they schedule less games, they'll take more time off. the salaries are so high that they dont need to play. theyre guaranteed. plus these guys are their own brand names now, they lose out if they get injured, what's the best way not to get injured? dont play. the teams have invested so much money in them they the teams dont want them injured either. the teams want them ready for the playoffs, when they make more coin. as long as they can make the playoffs, they dont care. the regular season games dont matter. i dont know how you change that. its not like that in baseball for the most part. its not like that in hockey. they both play huge regular seasons. nfl isnt comparable. why is the nba different? why do nba players beg out of games so regularly why hockey and baseball players dont? why do nba teams allow it - and likely encourage it - and other leagues dont?

    do steve kerr and the players want to take a pay cut to make up for that missed revenue?

    The knicks - without kat - beat the bulls by 40. the great josh giddey had more turnovers than made baskets.

    well cade is actually hurt, unlike a lot of stars on other teams who just sit out certain games.

    that's the initial question the court will address. if they stop the analysis there and rule that the government cannot amend the law in thia fashion, they are likely to get an 8-1 or 9-0 decision.

    lawyers answer "perhaps" questions all the time at oral argument. especially at the supreme court. i understand what youre saying, but this particular administration cannot - and should not - be trusted on this issue. or any issue, really. in fact, if the SG had argued ONLY that the EO should be applied as a way to end "birth tourism" then they might have had a better chance. but they didnt. they went for the full "ark should be overturned" type analysis.

    come on now, were building a team that contends for the final playoff spot every year! who wouldnt want that kind of mediocrity?

    why do you do this to yourself? The sign outside LCA should read "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."
  12. buddha
    Maybe. The government is seeking only prospective relief, meaning that the EO is looking to end birthright citizenship for a particular class of persons moving forward. as you state. However, when the SG was asked at oral argument whether the administration would seek to apply its order retroactively, the SG refused to say that it would not. In other words, the government did not commit that it would not look to rescind the citizenship of US citizens who were naturalized under old laws. As Justice Sotomayor noted, the US has done this before when it rescinded citizenship for american indians. Given the cruel nature of this administration in regards to non-white immigrants, and the bipolar nature of donald trump, i dont think you can say with any certainty he would not look to deport as many brown people as his government agents could get their hands on. And if you disagree, why dont you ask stephen miller what he thinks.

    i'll be interested to see how teams guard wemby in the playoffs. i suspect they'll just try to beat the **** out him.

    detroit is in first place this year by a mile and theyre probably the 3rd or 4th favorite to come out of the east. next year they will likely be lower unless they make a big move this summer. boston and cleveland are the two favorites for sure. detroit is probably behind thw knicms because people overrate the knicks. same thing for philly.

    i'd be willing to be that new orleans would give up a lot for stew. like...maybe another unprotected first?

    nyah. yaxel can play. big who can guard 2-3-4. can shoot, pass, and is a willing teammate. can take over a game when they need it. he's been the best player in the tournament. only downside is his age but the pistons are built to win in cade's prime, which is coming up. morez johnson is another one they could take. defensive forward like stewart.
  19. buddha
    hope its yaxel.
  20. buddha
    depends what kind of opinion they write too. if they make it broad, they might lose thomas, alito, kavanaugh, and maybe gorsuch. if its just about the EO, maybe they only lose thomas and possibly alito, maybe kavanaugh? the questioning was pretty favorable to the aclu, even from alito.

    My liberal Michigan grad mother would have a heart attack if my daughter went to Bama.
  22. buddha
    Bama has a very different vibe to it. VERY southern. much moreso than kentucky or even georgia. at bama, our tour guides were all dressed in formal red dresses, pearls, and heels. lots of blonde hair! the sorority house tour was with another girl dressed in a formal dress and heels. lots of yes sir and no sir. my kid isnt white, so the environment would be a concern. i thought the historical plaques for the brave alabama boys of 1860 defending the university were interesting. athens is a lot more her speed than bama. but bama is easier to get into than georgia and offers quite a bit of cash. so does kentucky. georgia not so much. its hard to get into georgia OOS nowadays.

    We just got back from georgia and alabama. Alabama's dorms are amazing. everything about that camous is brand new. its massive. we did a sorority house tour too. it was...interesting. Georgia wasnt as nice as i thought it would be and they didnt show us the dorms which likely means they suck. but she really liked georgia. its georgia and kentucky for her right now. maybe indiana too.

    jokic, doncic, and wembanyama. are the three best players in the league europeans?
  25. buddha
    We were there in January for a tour. its a very pretty campus. We didnt do the dorm tour because we were on our way to Kentucky, so report back on that. 😉
