Honor your favorite tank today on old.reddit.com/r/nba today!

Entire season the mods can't get the standings, schedule, game threads and scores working properly.
But they can pull this stupid shit.

Don't know but it's a better use of your time than the norm, so I guess that's a benefit.

I love when mods pin their content on the top of the sub to seem important. Like no buddy you’re just like the rest of us but you’re a Reddit mod for free lmao

u/MelonElbows Lakers Apr 02 '23
Didn't they explain this? The thing is tied to NBA.com so when the source broke, this broke. The mods would have to reprogram the whole sub to follow another site's play by play stats and I don't think that's an easy endeavor.

Honestly though, despite the downvotes you're 100% right and I'll die on this hill with you. I didn't foresee Wehraboo loli fetish content becoming a genre but the 21st century is just a constant stream of little surprises.

u/NenPame Apr 01 '23
Getting down voted on reddit cause I think upskirt shots of underage girls is kinda creepy.... I'm surprised that I'm not more surprised by this fact

u/MojoPinSin Apr 01 '23
There's a few subgenres in anime that are disgusting. Their cult-like fanbases are filled with people with "questionable" tastes that pretend to watch it ironically, but they go to bat hard if anyone calls them out.
It's a pretty gross situation.

u/MelonElbows Lakers Apr 02 '23
Wait, are there actually upskirts in that anime? I thought it was mostly about girls and tanks.

I live in NC about an hour or so away from Charlotte, so naturally they are my favorite tank. The two wins over Dallas were fucking incredible, and we must never forget how elite they spoiled Dallas’ playoffs hopes.

Quick everyone name your commander

u/elLugubre [SAS] Tim Duncan Apr 01 '23
Pop. He's the best tank commander ever - we got two decades of excellence and 5 rings out of a single, perfectly executed tank.
This year, hopefully, history repeats itself.

To be fair, we’ve played some pretty entertaining basketball as of late and we still have the fourth worst odds. Not a bad tank imo.

Sir, I regret to report that we were unsuccessful in the tank wars vs. the Pistons and suffered many casualties.

Pistons need lottery luck. The tank ends this season please get rid of tank leader Casey this summer.

Does anyone remember back to like 2016 when this subreddit got hijacked and we had some random German pop singer on the header and sidebar for like an hour?
That shit was hilarious, we had way over a million subs and had that stay up for so goddamn long lmao.

u/Dsod23 Apr 02 '23
Looks like your team is getting their pick, crazy to think that pick ended up getting protected. No one thought the Mavs were gonna be a top 10 worst team. This is 80s Bulls all over again except Doncic isn’t gonna MJ them out of this.

Who would of thought the Mavs would be so bad the Knicks would lose out on a top 10 protected pick from a few years ago when they had Doncic and KP and eventually Kyrie.

Frank the Tank currently plays for the Houston Rockets.
