The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday.

The new concept would create three teams of eight All-Stars each, as well as a fourth team coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game. The teams would then face each other in a bracket competition.

The report documents how Israel’s extensive bombing campaign in Gaza has decimated essential services and unleashed an environmental catastrophe that will have lasting health impacts. By early 2024, over 25,000 tons of explosives—equivalent to two nuclear bombs—had been dropped on Gaza, causing massive destruction and the collapse of water and sanitation systems, agricultural devastation, and toxic pollution.

I knew it was a lot but the equivalent of 2 nukes really puts it into perspective.

Biden has had literally all the evidence you could need to trigger the Leahy Laws and stop the arms shipments but has been complicit in this the entire time.

Yeah it made early game feel a little pointless since like you said an early lead built up on multiple good plays could get completely wiped by 1 death.

Really happy the dev team has been tweaking things as much as they are and pretty quick to listen to feedback. Even when a buff is a bit strong in one patch I don’t get too annoyed about it since I know they’ll have a fix out pretty quick.

 

50/6/2/1/3 on .621 FG% and 6/9 from the line tonight.

 

No Dame, Middleton, or Portis tonight so the Bucks needed every bit of it to pull out a win.

59 is the highest of the season for a player so far.

59/14/7/2/3 on .618 FG% and 16/17 from the line.

Think the soul sharing is gonna be in a near perfect spot after this. Good to see some more Yamato nerfs too.

Pelicans going to have to start having fans play pretty soon here.

 

Can’t imagine it stays that way but pretty shocking when we’re 10+ games into the season already and only the Cavs and Celtics have winning records in the East.

They thankfully have less b2b later in the season. Hopefully they can rest him a bit more in games too but Murray has to be out of his funk before that happens more I think.

100/100 was too much and made the incentives kind of weird even though I liked the overall change. Feels better after this update but probably need more of a reduction still to even things out and allow counterplay.

[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah probably will but I get making a quick tweak and then seeing how things play out between now and the next major update. Glad they didn’t wait 2 weeks to make some kind of nerf.

- Yamato: Shadow Transformation Heal reduced from 30% to 25%

- Paradox: Paradoxical Swap time increased by 0.1s (to help with camera)

Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Think if it wasn’t one of the defenders may get a hand on it depending on how quick they react but hard to say for sure.

[–] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah saw that, RIP first item removed from the game. Wonder if it was just too difficult to balance around.

They’re young and hungry too so its unlikely they take the foot of the gas lol

No Murray and no Gordon, this will be rough

Robert F Kennedy and Chase Oliver voters are peeling off votes from Trump not Harris.

If you look at the count of the RFK/ Oliver/ Libertarian voters they more or less cancel out the Green and socialist candidate/party voters
