Without opening a discussion about the conflict itself or justifying anything in the article, I will say that as someone who's been on the receiving end of an adult throwing 5-10 pounds rocks at full strength at them, I truly think you're underestimating the deadly damage it can cause.
This isn't a toddler throwing pebbles, such a rock hitting a human will break bones on contact and can absolutely kill of it hits someone's head

My comment from another community:
Oh wow, I was there a few days ago and we could barely stay outside the car for more than 5 mins to take a few pictures. The heat was absolutely unbearable and at every corner there were warning signs literally saying "no hiking, you will die". I can't imagine someone going on a physically intensive activity like hiking there...

Thanks for the reply. I really like that option - it's a good balance between having a place to discuss every single game and not creating a post for each. It should also be pretty straight forward to port from the existing implementation :) I'll play with it in the next months and see how it goes.
Thanks again for the feedback.

(disclaimer - I'm the mod that created the bot)
First of all, I really want to thank you and everyone in the comments for taking the time and sharing your thoughts and feedback. I don't take that lightly and truly appreciate it. I myself had similar concerns and thoughts and I would love for this to be a discussion towards the best solution for this community.
When I started working on the bot, I didn't have any "uber plan", I simply saw a few game threads created manually, a few post game threads and decided it could be a cool addition to the community if we could automate these. What I realized quickly were two aspects - One was that trying out the bot can only happen, well, when games are being played and that if I don't try it out before the summer league ends, I won't be able to test it until mid Oct-ish when the league starts. The 2nd one was that Summer League is a surprisingly busy period from a schedule pov, with about 6-8 games a day, every day. That meant that the bot will create quite a lot of activity ("noise") in its first days, in a mostly (the most?) quit time of the year. Today's actually the last day of games in the next few months so either way you won't see too much from the bot for the next 2-3 months.
Taking that into account, I decided to continue working on the bot mainly so we (the mods) could get your opinions and your feedback. I wanted to see what works, and what doesn't. What folks like, and what isn't great. In a few days, we found a bunch of issues and made many tweaks to how it works. It's much better today that only a week ago. As an aside, I've gotten quite a few asks to share the code with other communities, so I think all in all it was the right decision.
Having said all that, your key point I feel stands strong - we're not as big as r/nba and shouldn't try to mimic what's working there. I suggest that when the season starts in a few months, we re-evaluate how we want the bot to work - as it is now, in a limited capacity (single daily discussion thread?), or not at all. The ultimate goal is to encourage discussions, and if we, as a community feel the bot is not driving that (even holding it back), there's absolutely no reason for it to exist.
Hope this kind if makes sense? please share you thoughts as well
First of all, LOVE the app! I'm wondering if there are plans to add push notifications on reply/DM? it'll be awesome not to need to check the app every time just to see if someone replied to my DM?

I've thought about it but there are two issues - one is that Twitter (Elon...) just locked their API so the bot would need to use some hack to scrape the twitter pages (not impossible though). The other is that like you said, we don't want to post every Woj/Shams tweet but by the time the important ones reach 10k likes (or a similar filter), someone probably would post them here already so we'd be posting stake tweets...
not sure I have a solution for the 2nd problem, happy to hear opinions :)
Edit: so looks like there was an issue in the daily transition and the bot went crazy spamming the same daily index post over & over 😞 we apologize for that, and we're already working on a fix --- Hi everyone, Happy to share that over the last days we have been working on a new *Lemmy-native* NBA Game Day Bot for this community, and today we activated it 🎉 Currently, our bot knows how to: * **Create a Daily Discussion + Game Thread Index** with a list of today's games, start date, status and links to the Game Thread & Post-Game Thread (when available). * **Create a Daily Game Thread** for every game starting 15min before game start, keeping overall score and quarterly breakdown by team updated every minute, and when the game ends it adds the final score to the title. * **Create a Post Game Thread** for every game that ends with a detailed breakdown of team & player statistics. You can see a few examples for these below, check them out. We would also love to hear your feedback and suggestions, so feel free to post suggestions here or [PM the bot directly](https://lemmy.world/create_private_message/98250) We hope you enjoy it!

They'll "Strive", no one said they'll succeed...
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1028959 > **Article pasted below:** > > The Celtics continue to go through a slow start to the offseason, a wild card possibility looms. > > What if — second apron be damned — they are still on the hunt for another core piece? The idea might seem crazy because of the long-term salary cap implications of such a move, but the team still controls most of its first-round picks moving forward (San Antonio could choose to swap with Boston in 2028) plus the Warriors’ 2024 first-round selection. That’s enough draft capital to put the Celtics in the mix for another blockbuster trade should Brad Stevens decide to put all of his chips on the table. > > Does that sound like a long shot? Sure. The Celtics are already committed to a high-priced core that is only set to become more expensive over the next three seasons as possible supermax extensions for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum kick in. The new collective bargaining agreement includes harsh punishments for teams that exceed the second apron. The Celtics would be headed for that level and beyond if they keep their current nucleus while adding another costly long-term piece. The impact of the CBA has already been evident early in the offseason. For better or worse, the new rules are more threatening than the old ones, at least when it comes to keeping great teams together or adding to them. > > But what if the Celtics decide to toss caution into the Charles River? What if they decide now is the time to strike, while most of the league is afraid of putting a superteam together and the front office has a window to add another star as Tatum and Brown hit their primes? After falling short too many times deep in the playoffs, what if Stevens and the ownership group just go for it — really go for it? > > Could the Celtics get involved in talks for Damian Lillard? Based on all of the reporting, including a great story by our own Sam Amick, Lillard has made it clear he wants to go to Miami. Still, the Blazers are under no obligation to send him where he wants. Joe Cronin’s statement on the situation, which said he intends to do “what’s best for the team,” suggests he won’t prioritize Lillard’s wish list above all else. Stars can often direct themselves where they want to go, but Cronin’s tone sounded like bad news for the Heat and an open invitation for other teams to load up better offers for Lillard. Even without putting Brown onto the table, the Celtics could offer a package built around Malcolm Brogdon and Robert Williams plus several picks and pick swaps. If that’s not enough, Boston could include Derrick White in the offer and try to recruit a third team to the trade since the Blazers already have two young guards to build around. That still might not be enough to win the sweepstakes, especially if Lillard is against joining Boston, as reporting from TNT’s Chris Haynes has suggested. But the Celtics could build a competitive offer. > > That would go for other potential targets, too. The Raptors just lost Fred VanVleet to free agency. Could they consider moving Pascal Siakam or O.G. Anunoby, each of whom will enter the coming season on an expiring contract? James Harden wants out of Philadelphia. It’s only a matter of time before another star demands a trade, too. In the NBA, the next disgruntled player is always around the corner. Even if the aforementioned players don’t make sense for one reason or another, another big swing by Boston this summer would be fascinating. The Celtics have gone on deep playoff runs a number of times now, but have not pushed themselves over the top. The Kristaps Porziņģis trade shifted the team’s formula, but also came with substantial risk, such as his long injury history. Boston’s title window is open now and those rarely seem to last as long as people think. > > The Celtics don’t need to cash in on their trade assets now. The finances would give them reason enough to avoid another big-name acquisition. They are already headed for a significant luxury tax bill for the coming season. If they sign Brown to a supermax extension, they would have about $180 million in salary committed for the 2024-25 season — and that’s the year before Tatum’s potential supermax extension would kick in. Adding another fat long-term salary like Lillard’s could leave Boston with an unsustainable roster moving forward. The new CBA will shovel more challenges on top of teams looking to spend their way to a championship. The idea of moving assets for a possible rental, like either of the Raptors wings, could convince the Celtics front office to pass for other reasons. And if Boston would consider including Brown in some sort of trade offer, well, that would come with its own set of issues. Using the Lillard situation just as an example, it’s easy to guess Brown wouldn’t want to commit to the Blazers long term, sapping much of his value to Portland. If the Celtics could find a third team for Brown, the exchange of him for Lillard would change the team’s entire identity. They have built very good teams over the last couple of years around a stable of perimeter players with enough size and versatility to be well-rounded on both sides of the court. Lillard would add in other areas but detract from that vision. Plus, he is 32, six years older than Brown. > > With any version of a major trade, going all-in or close to it now would be a huge risk — and maybe an ill-advised one. Acquiring the wrong star can be destructive. Even the opportunity cost of future star pursuits should be considered. If the 76ers can only retrieve pennies on the dollar for Harden, will Joel Embiid eventually ask out too? If the Kyrie Irving re-signing ends badly in Dallas, will Luka Dončić demand a trade from the Mavericks one day? It could seem crazy now to think about the Celtics making a run at Embiid or Dončić, but front offices around the league see those situations heading for possible implosions. Tatum, heading toward his prime, should be a draw for other stars if the situation remains stable around him. Any big trade now for Boston could hinder one or prevent one later. > > The Celtics could be mostly done with their roster for the coming season. They still have business to take care of with Brown, who is eligible to sign that supermax, and Grant Williams, who is a restricted free agent. Even if they plan to pass on keeping Williams, they are already near the second apron and could decide to just fill out the rest of the roster with veteran’s minimum contracts. They don’t necessarily need to make another big move. The odds are always against one, anyway. > > But the Celtics do have enough assets to at least be thinking about one. If not now, then later. That’s all I’m saying.
