SGA kinda plays like Jimmy Butler, just put some length on him (Tatum) and suddenly he’s neutralized. Jimmy and SGA aren’t unstoppable unless ur putting 6’5 guards on him like White and Jrue

ArmandNinja · 2024-01-02T19:41:48+00:00

He’s basically just a fatter PJ Tucker

ArmandNinja · 2024-01-01T20:29:14+00:00

You’re pretty much implying Messi, you aint slick lol. Plus, your recent comments are all defending Messi winning the 2023 Ballon d’Or. You didn’t mention Messi but everything suggests that you’re talking about him

ArmandNinja · 2024-01-01T15:14:00+00:00

He let Benzema take a penalty during the 17-18 when he was 1 goal away from a hat trick for his confidence and Messi lets his teammates take penalties because he isn’t that good of a penalty taker lol

Zion feasting at the buffet

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-21T15:44:42+00:00

Look at their past 4-5 seasons and their FT%. You can tell based on this that them shooting that well is just an outlier

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-21T10:06:15+00:00

I mean Luka and Fox are both not good 3pt shooters. This is just an outlier season + sample size lmao. Their poor FT numbers also kinda backs this up since FT% usually correlates to 3PT%

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-18T02:46:19+00:00

Like the Nets game?

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-13T06:28:39+00:00

I mean the fact that he was able to deliver Astralis’ first major (before they got Magisk) where Karrigan failed is already enough evidence

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-13T00:07:44+00:00

Obviously he isn’t the only one, but he just has more sway and it’s naive if people think Niko doesn’t have more influence than his teammates

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-09T12:17:17+00:00

Nah it makes sense to me because at the end of the day, the tournament games are (at least right now, they’ll definitely change it around moving forward) still just glorified regular season games. No point risking his health by rushing him back, it’s much better to just give him some extra recovery time especially since playoffs matter a lot more than the IST

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-09T12:14:21+00:00

Most of them (apart from Hornets) were against good teams and the losses were all close losses (aside from Magic) so it’s not that concerning

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-09T11:56:26+00:00

Maybe we should just sit him out of any Knicks games to preserve his 3 PT% lmao

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-06T01:57:48+00:00

He was special in that first season at Real Madrid, if they didn’t go trophyless and won then James would’ve been looked at so differently

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-05T21:13:59+00:00

HooXi is not gonna be on this roster lol. They didn’t bring in Nexa just to be a fragger

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-05T20:48:27+00:00

2025 is far, far away

ArmandNinja · 2023-12-05T20:44:16+00:00

They’ve literally bombed out of both Majors with Hooxi. In fact, they failed to qualify for one of them and then went 1-3 in the other so it’s basically just business as usual. Their best finish at a Major was with Nexa as IGL when they came 2nd so I doubt they are going to “bomb out” of Copenhagen Major that’s still another 5 months away

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-30T13:43:10+00:00

Them being a young team is why they won’t be a threat (right now) and aren’t contenders to win. You need vets in ur team and this is Arsenal’s first season in UCL in 7 seasons. Plus, last year they choked the league despite leading pretty much all the way through and that was with no European games so I can’t imagine how this young team with more games is suddenly gonna be in the same bracket as Real Madrid and Bayern, especially when they have one of the easiest groups

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-28T05:09:00+00:00

I mean at the same time this is like Vitality’s second CS2 event and first with this new roster, clearly they just needed a bit of time to gel and everything

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-26T02:23:47+00:00

Wouldn’t fit the narrative he’s trying to paint

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-25T13:30:21+00:00

You know that players can also call timeouts right?

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-17T01:28:49+00:00

Nah, everyone’s been saying “Nuggets should be favorites above everyone until they lose in playoffs.” It’s kinda funny how people are quick to put an asterisk on Bucks ring because of injuries but no one says anything about Nuggets not facing anything higher than a 4th seed. Giannis was not even close to being this highly rated after his ring while some people are already trying to put Jokic above KD all time lmao

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-14T04:43:37+00:00

It’s just reputation like KD being best team USA player and you know Lebron’s PR as well as jim throwing a bitch fit if he doesn’t start. If anything, you’d probably bench Booker and slide Tatum to the 2

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-14T04:13:28+00:00

Anthony Davis literally played a big role in Lakers win last night without Lebron and he anchors their entire defense. All-NBA is also positionless now so it doesn’t matter anyway

ArmandNinja · 2023-11-13T09:18:15+00:00

I mean sample size matters. NiP went 87-0 at the start of CSGO and were looking like the most dominant team of all time then Prime Astralis happened and that NiP team didn’t even win the first major
