Fun to watch and glad to see Levy win! I enjoy his YouTube walkthroughs of openings more than any others I’ve found.

Crazy ending to the game, not sure how the Nuggets lost that one.

Oh I agree, not saying Booth is without fault by any means.

The saric deal is not looking good so far.

I agree that they should’ve pushed a bit more on the MPJ deal, while it wasn’t a true max since a lot of it was incentives based I feel like the market wasn’t huge back then given his back injuries they could’ve squeezed some more. He hasn’t made the improvements he needed to be worth it so I honestly think he’s the most likely to get moved if they do something since Murray at least has had the highs and has great chemistry with Jokic.

Given the ownership doesn’t like to spend a ton I think Booth was kind of forced to go young given that restriction.

Still think KCP was worth the 2nd apron tho because Braun could help the bench then and it keeps the starting 5 that won the title. It’s not like they have a lot of options for an upgrade either with that 7 year out pick they have available now that they’re under it except maybe they can use Nnaji stupid contact with it at the deadline.

Picked him up as a stream for today in a 8CAT (no TO) league where I’m punting FG so FT was the only place he could hurt me lol

[-] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Wish they didn’t need OT in either but I’ll take the wins lol

Westbrook 10/10 from the line was an unexpected fantasy bump too lol

[-] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

I thought the same, such wasted potential!

[-] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

West finals rematch, definitely going to try to catch this one!

Oh yeah it wasn’t by design, more just meant they still got the L which will ultimately help them. Yeah if Scottie was still in they might’ve pulled of the win

[-] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

They pulled out the L for Flagg at the end.

This years designs are below organized by the groups, what does everyone think?

Link since the pic with all of them isn’t the easiest to see some of them.

With the season just starting thought it would be fun to post some predictions for the season for us to look back on at the end and see how they turned out.

Who’s going to have a breakout year?

Dark horse candidates for awards?

Surprises and upsets for the playoffs?

Anything else you want to throw out there is fine too!

I think having this post isn't a great idea because you are just assuming the websites bias are legit. At the very least there needs to be a lot of warnings in the bots post about the websites biases and the methodology they use so the reader can come to their own conclusion.

Just looking over the methodlogy it's clear that it has it's own biases:

American Bias

The website itself says it’s distinctions of left and right are US based which is very skewed from the rest of the world. There should be a disclaimer or it shouldn't be used in any world news communities.

Centrist Bias

The website follows the idea of “enlightened centrism” since if it determines a website has a left/right lean (again arbitrary) it affects the factual ratings of the sources.

Examples of this are: FAIR only getting the 2nd highest rating despite never having failed a fact check.

The Intercept getting only a “mostly factual” rating (3rd highest) despite their admittance it has never failed a fact check.

Despite my personal opinions on the pointlessness of using a US based left/right bias criteria I'd feel better if it was at least kept it it's own section but when you allow it to affect the factual rating of the source it's just outright wrong. The factual accuracy of the website should be the sole thing that affects this rating.

Questionable Fact Checking

Even just checking some of their ratings raises doubts on the websites credibility.

The ADL is rated as high (2nd highest) and wasn’t found to fail any fact checks.

The ADL was found to be so unreliable on it's reporting of the Israel-Palestine conflict it is considered an unreliable source by Wikipedia.

“Wikipedia’s editors declared that the Anti-Defamation League cannot be trusted to give reliable information on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and they overwhelmingly said the ADL is an unreliable source on antisemitism.”

Maybe Wikipedia editors are a good arbiter of truth and maybe they aren’t but as people can see there isn’t a consensus and so by choosing Media Bias/Fact Check you’re explicitly choosing to align your “truth” with this websites biases.
