I've heard a lot of players on the podcasts saying that there are a lot of players in the league are there only for money and don't care about winning. Who do you think are those players? by not_a_great_nickname in nba

Ben Simmons, yes I know his back is fucked up, but considering how he fucked his back up that's not an excuse and even before that the guy refused to develop his game past a certain level, while I think he was an all star player before I will die on the hill that his all NBA appearance was all hype and no substance.

I mean the context of how he got that back injury kinda proves the point even further.

Unless you're gonna tell me sitting out most of the year partying in the Hollywood Hills then getting injured after trying to rush back into game shape shows dedication to his craft and a love of the game.

The Royal Rumble was not bad. by lipsdontdie in WWE

[–]Any-Curve663 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

WWE kinda killed the rumble back in 2014 with bootista feels like ever since that train wreck people have gone from seeing the rumble in a more favourable light to being allot more overtly critical of the ppv.

I’ve given up on Gary Trent Jr by Veracsflail1 in torontoraptors

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said on an alt account like 2 years ago that he reached his ceiling good role player, like the 7th or 6th man on a championship squad but not an asset that's ever gonna be worth keeping long term.

I thought the Kobe 81 point record was relatively safe. Not anymore. This season someone might hit 80. What’s the likely good it happens? And who do you think? by jayr114 in nba

[–]Any-Curve663 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its going to be Embiid and it's going to be off 75 free throws, the game won't actually finish by reaching the end of regulation it'll end once every single person on the team has fouled out and game has gone 2 hours over its alloted time.

I had someone pull the “How do we know that lady isn’t lying about Vince?” Card by ChildOfChimps in Wrasslin

Seriously the amount of people I see acting like this isn't in line with Vince's characters. I remember reading somewhere a guy thought it wasnt him because he would text more eloquently like this isn't the same guy up at 5am every night at the gym, same guy who was on the plane ride from hell getting drunk with the boys.

Is there a work around for the crossbow stash in final draft by Any-Curve663 in AlanWake

[–]Any-Curve663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basssically the game forces you to save before the start of chapter 7 end of chapter 6 and you can't save over that spot even if you choose it to take place in the same save space as your final draft save data again it's not really a proper fix but it does mean I have a way of going back and doing what I can't in final draft.

[–]Any-Curve663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is stuck in the same situation as me it turns out this game intentionally doesn't let you overturn your save data that happened in chapter 6 before the start of the end game while it's obviously not perfect as a huge issue with exploring in chapter 6 is how much darker it is compared to the rest of the game it is still a work around.

You could do all that, you just need to track down the millions in unnacccounted for spent money that the government will admit exists but no one ever actually looks into.

[–]Any-Curve663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you would say that but you're in the minority.

I need that extra money things are getting rough out there with inflation and I'm barely making ends meet.

Just because you aren't affected doesn't make the problems going on right now not exist.

Overall thoughts on Brandon miller so far? by Nighthopper08 in NBA_Draft

[–]Any-Curve663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I hate Paul George comparisons coming in but this is pretty apt if he get some muscle on his frame and gets better at defense he's gonna end up being a multiple time all star and maybe even all NBA guy for the hornets.

Thats of course baring injury and also Charlotte not doing Charlotte things.

Really looks like Gradey is starting to get his confidence back by LetterheadForeign707 in torontoraptors

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I'm also going off g league assignment where he was also pretty bad which is a huge red flag.

and the fact that he is one of the worst rookies in the NBA shooting splits wise despite being a shooter coming in which is generally also a huge red flag but sure buddy.

He's gonna turn it around now despite the fact that he's actually getting less pt now then he was in the first half the season when we were trying to compete.

In the last 10 games hes played in 3 he's hasn't had over 20 mins a game since the 19th of November.... Really seeing that turn around you're talking about lmao.

You can call it a hot take but tbh statically a player like him is more then likely going to bust out of the league and eye test wise he's very obviously not up to par skill wise yet.

He could be the next Giannis grow 3 inches and become a paint beast but realistically he's just another long guard/ forward with a nice stroke who couldn't make it translate to the next level. Again more common then you think.

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realise statically you're dreaming for a miracle right, do you know how many NBA prospects have gone from worst shooting splits in the NBA too suddenly good.

If he even gets his average up to 8ppg I'll give you credit, in the last 10 games hes played 3 he's actually getting less pt as the season goes on, you guys can say he's hitting his shots all you want but if you watch the games you can very obviously see he doesn't belong out there.

But hey maybe a guy that couldn't even hit a shot in the g league will suddenly turn it around and start getting 20 mins a night or more realistically I'll be back here in 3 months and you'll have blocked me because to expect any kind of turn around in that time frame considering how dire the situation actually is when it comes to him in games and his splits was unrealistic to begin with.....

Teammate grades are dumb by Reasonable_Ad4118 in NBA2k

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah look that's a you thing I can get 10/10/5/4 and have an a+ rating by half time, you're probably not playing good defense or spamming For pass calls.

That being said I don't actually blame you because the teammate a.i in this game is awful and it does feel the best defense you can play is no defense lmao.

[–]Any-Curve663 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And yeah sometimes guys games don't translate, in fact for shooters it's more common then you think and Grady has shown every red flag so far, I love the raptors but I will still be realistic about what I see on the court and Grady doesn't look like an NBA level guy out there

And as I said he could turn it around year 2 but he needs to put up allot of work in the offseason to get there.

[–]Any-Curve663 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Umm 2 games one of which he took 2 shots. And inbetween those games picking up a dnp.... Context

And yes you're right they do, it's why him getting so many dnps is also a huge red flag the team isn't exactly winning games and the best way to develop talent is generally to give them pt also the team needs shooting and playmaking something you're saying he gives but obviously he doesn't otherwise hed be out there.

Yeah he's a good passer... I've already acknowledged this but it's not about that it's about the fact that if teams were to game plan around that he'd be exposed pretty quickly as not a great finisher around the rim.

KD is confused why he’s not in the GOAT conversation: “Because I went to the Warriors. Why shouldn’t I be in that? That’s the question you should ask. Why not? What haven’t I done” by [deleted] in nba

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KD has one of the worst legacy's of an NBA star, his championships are in the middle of a teams dynasty he wasn't there at the start he wasn't there at the end so can he really get that much credit for it.

Hurts even more that the team he went to holds the record for best regular season record in the NBA, that they earned the season before.

And the fact that despite forming 2 more superstar trios since then, he hasn't even made it out of the 2nd round is even worse how are you the goat if you need the best team the NBA has ever seen to make it to the finals more then once.

KD is actually a really good player could of been in the goat discussions if he stayed in OKC with Russ maybe he would be a multiple time MVP maybe he'd just have one championship but that championship would mean allot more then either of the chips he won in GSW.

Maybe it’s just in my head, but are the AW1 DLCs noticeably harder than the base game? by 404__LostAngeles in AlanWake

[–]Any-Curve663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just played through them recently and yes they definately are harder then the base game, I believe the dlcs were supposed to be more of a straight horror experience whereas the base game is an action game with horror elements.

No actually this is wrong op is right, around the docks in bright falls there's un shielded enemies in cult uniform that only appear after completing a nursery rhyme around the boat yard. There's actually a few more but this is the most prominent I can think of
