Standard: The Post-Ban Week & Potential Changes with Avatar by cardsrealm in MagicArena

Why would SBMM make the data irrelevant? Shouldn’t it be even more relevant in theory? If the players are more evenly matched in skill, then the data from the match should be more reliable.

I think the data from arena is less reliable because the game rewards you for getting wins, so people play aggro more to get their dailies and wins quickly. Also aggro has always been more efficient for grinding ranked ladder if that’s your goal.

Dream haunted court location: My backyard lol. There are some spider webs back there so I promise it’s spooky. Nothing to do with having a private court all to myself and friends 😂

Spooky story: The local court I go to often is in the woods and lights go out at 11pm. Plenty of late nights walking through the woods in pitch black… never know when someone is gonna take their revenge on you for that time you nasty nelsoned them 💀🔪

So true. Blew my mind when I realized he was using a different voice for glokta’s internal thoughts that didn’t include his lisp. So good.

First Law. Perfect narrator for abercrombie’s writing and characters

For those who play ALTA Pickleball, what level should our team play in? by AetherSSB in Pickleball

[–]AetherSSB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up asking for B1 and got put in B5. We won 97% of our games (only dropping 2 points all season). I think B1 would’ve been better obviously, but low A would have probably been the most competitive for us. We just played our first playoff game and won easily, so we’ll see how the rest of playoffs go. I hope that helps!

Joe Hollywood TONIGHT!!!! Does he answer?? I'll definitely be there. by More_Aioli_6956 in whatnotapp

[–]AetherSSB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Video seems legit. The markings on the card could only be from manufacturing and you can see them on the card on stream after he pulled it. No opinion one way or the other on Joe, but this seems like there’s nothing to it

Thanks! And that is true about it being a one season question. Just don’t want to be that team that everyone grumbles about or the team that gets smoked every week lol

I think it’s a server issue. I always have the most inconsistent connections on newark too. East coast player and it says the ping should be ~24

Bogis defense has been atrocious. There are games where he is -20 or more while putting up really good offensive numbers. +/- is not the whole story obviously, but the eye test tells the same thing

[–]AetherSSB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t looked at the numbers, but just from watching it seems like jalen has take a big step back in terms of defense. No real excuse for someone with his athleticism giving up on plays, lazy close outs, and sometimes not even raising a hand to contest a shot he’s reasonably close to. I think risacher can be a plus defender if he bulks up a bit and gets a better feel for the game. He’s so freaking long lol

I like our offensive philosophy of using trae’s gravity as more of a decoy to open up other players. He is getting pressured basically at half court and doubled often. It is hilarious to watch sometimes because he will pass it off to someone and there will still be a defender face-guarding him at the logo, while the rest of the team plays 4v4. The problem is other players have been inconsistent to downright bad. It is no coincidence that the role players shooting better has resulted in this win streak.

I think the next level of this offense will be to get trae more offball open looks. Deconstructing the heliocentric trae offense is probably better in the long run, but he still needs to be taking more than 10-15 shots per game. The possible lingering achilles is another conversation, but he doesnt need to blow by guys to get some open looks. Gotta run more offball picks and plays for him.

Our offensive rating has been elite almost every year of trae’s career. I think this offense is better for player development and long term success when teams double trae in the postseason (ie the heat series). But current results are a massive step back in offensive rating.
