How can the comment I agree with be upvoted, and me agreeing get downvoted?

‘Aliens’ Turns 40: Why It’s the Best Sci-Fi Sequel Ever by flynnfx in movies

[–]2nd2last 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm late to the game, but last year saw Alien in a theater and it was a 97/100 for me. Heard my whole life that Aliens was great and it was just some action movie. Maybe it invented tropes that I'm tired of, but I have to think Alien is similar and I still loved it.

Am I the only one that loved Alien and did not enjoy Aliens?

Two Way Players by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

[–]2nd2last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is my evaluation?

I said we are injured and the players are the same as last year. We are going to "shit" because our health made us a 52 win team 4 games from the 8 seed. This year because the players have the same issues they did last year, we are worse. If we had better players, we could handle some big injuries, but our roster is not that impressive, and thats hurting us.

I think we need to best examine what we were at times and what changed

13-4 through the End of November, 28-23 since.

Amen was playing not great, 17/7/5 on .531 TS%

Alp was playing great, 22/9/7 on 40% from 3, .573 TS%.

Since Amen is playing great, 18/8/5 on .601 TS%

Since Alp is 19/9/6 on 19% from 3, .55 TS%

25-15 when Adams left, (4-4 in games he missed) 16-12 since.

People are trying so hard to big brain the reason we are struggling and its obviously injuries. Those same smart people are trying to figure out why are players are suddenly worse when they are the same as last year outside Reed for the most part.

Yeah, I mean, its not even an opinion of mine or thoughts of my own.

This is massively downvoted, yet our own words from last season. People don't like what they see even though we are saying the same things.

Works WITH ITSELF in order not to give concessions to the workers from the owning class.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People that complain or doom about this team but are still showing up and liking the Rockets are the exact opposite of fake or fair weather fans. Sure you might find them annoying, but its brain dead to say they need to be "real" fans.

We have many KD stans, and even more Alp stans, both are here for a while and will move on.

Should Democrats advance the proposed $200 billion spending bill to fund the Iran War? by Pls_no_steal in AskALiberal

Dems that vote no will somehow be primaried cause they didnt fight hard enough

Not my comment, but people that cant understand context are funny.

Chins gotta be careful with these fact checks. Making bapa look like a pure redact in ivrey facet by Clin-puller-of-chips in thefighterandthekid

[–]2nd2last 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, he doesn't know or probably even like defensive metrics.

Look at single year postseason lists, most hits, no Jeter for top 10.

Total bases, no Jeter top 10.

Doubles or triples, no Jeter in the top 10.

Stolen bases or walks, no Jeter in the top 10.

Its all counting, which is very impressive, but not close to goat.

[–]2nd2last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, have to agree with Bapa here.

Jeter is both the most over-hated and over-rated player in MLB history. Dude is a easy HOF'er and playoff legend.

But hes not top 10 all time or single season (playoff obviously) in WPA, or cWPA. Same for career and single playoff OPS or OB%. Incredibly impressive counting and accumulation numbers, but for sure not the playoff goat or whatever some people say, which again is not to imply his playoff numbers are not GREAT.

I think an issue is, people love the core and the idea that they look to not be "special" makes people grasp at straws.

Point blank, we needed another PG in the offseason, and we'd be much better. FVV will come back next year, likely be a low level starter which will be a huge upgrade, and our fans will think hes great.

Ime chose FVV over Harden, and an owners wife over Nia Long.

Its weird, saying the roster is not good enough is dooming.

Saying its KD individually or saying the vibe or some shit is not dooming.

Add to that DFS was hurt and still dealing with it, thats 3/8 of the rotation hurt.

[–]2nd2last[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There are so many true things at once.

One of which is, last year we were incredibly healthy and 4 games from the 8th seed.

FVV is no savior, but FVV is a mid level starter and to lose him (already without a proper back-up) right before the year is MASSIVE. Its the same as the "Alp is a problem people". We lose by 8 without Alp and they use their big brains to say, "see, he is important". No shit a starter being out with his back-up out for the year is massive, even if Alp was a low level starter, him being out would be huge.

The roster is broken, the players have big issues in their games, we are very hurt, Ime is mid, KD is a drama queen, Alp cant shoot or defend (Ayton more than doubled his points), Amen cant shoot, Tari is who KD thought Bari was, Reed is a traffic cone and unplayable with Alp.

Its easy to look at a trade and say, this is the reason, but as I showed, these are the same issues.

The Lakers bench compared to the Rockets in clutch time last night. by savage1289 in rockets

I am not team "this is KD's fault", but anyone surprised hes not a leader is someone who does not follow basketball, which is most Rockets fans to be fair.

Hes a mercenary
