The NBA Finals tip off tonight.

The New York Knickerbockers have a shot at winning their first championship since

1973 if they can defeat the 7.5 foot Frenchman Victor Wembeyanma and his San Antonio Spurs.

Nowhere to be seen, though, last year's champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder,

undeniably elite, but also hated on in just about any city outside Oklahoma because of flops.

For those of you who aren't familiar, flopping in the NBA is basically taking a dive.

You put up a shot and then on your way back down, you fall to the ground in hopes that the ref calls a foul

and gives you the opportunity to score a few extra points.

And in this particular regard,

the Oklahoma City Thunder have a lot in common

with the President of the United States at the moment.

Not only had they both taken some huge Ls in recent weeks,

but on today explained from Vox,

Donald Trump has officially entered his flop era.

Recommendations can't be amazing.

I mean, maybe someone recommended that TV show you've been obsessed with lately.

But when it comes to home projects, it's different.

If you don't like a show, you might lose a few minutes.

If you hire a friend of a friend of a friend to fix a leaky ceiling,

you could end up with a flooded kitchen.

Maybe I know a guy just isn't enough for your home.

That's why Thumbtack works so well.
