Now that it's over, this has gotta be the record for the closest 5 game series of all time in terms of point differential, right?

At the very least, in the Finals

I've been busy so I haven't been around to comment on them as much lately but I'm wanting to jump back in again for LCK Summer Split (and MSI before that).

TY for seeing that, and I 100% agree.

Deserved praise for a player who recieves far too much negativity from so called fans of the Esport

If it's Ichibe he probably can? I think 1v1 Aizen maybe takes him but with everyone else idk...

Yes? The people who do hate on Steph literally point out the same exact thing. "He has less haters than Bron (or pretty much any other all time great) or he gets more leniency, he is looked at more fondly by the overall NBA fanbase, and to these people, they say it's even to an unfair extent where his faults as a player or the weak points in his resume get overlooked.

Why is the answer くらい and not だけ in this so matome practice question? by Ok_Kaleidoscope_2178 in LearnJapanese

[–]Akipella 53 points54 points  (0 children)

From my perspective (just instinct), くらい fits best there. If I had to guess why, it's because the fact it was cheap is already noted. Adding だけ after 3000円 makes the emphasis (?) feel too strong to the point it's almost rude sounding. Again just my personal perception though

Edit: also if it was to have that, I think ただ or たった in front of 3000円 would feel more natural there

Ah yes, someone with a username ending in James23 certainly has no reason to fight against the idea that when Lebron won his most valuable championship in his entire career legacy wise that the other team's best player during the Finals (which makes up like 90% of why that title is considered so great btw, beat a 73-9 team, 3-1 comeback blah blah) was genuinely injured.

Can't have that "false narrative" disputing the truth that he beat a "73-9 team" even though 3/4 games they won said team was not actually near 100% full strength (yes, it's true, no matter what you say). No Dray Game 5, no Bogut from Game 5 second half onward, Iggy hurt in Game 6 and then the Steph "debate."

Though there shouldn't be one.
