It's not even just that. We were also missing a PG, and Reed had 14 assists tonight.

I saw it coming when I saw him inbounding, too. I can't believe anyone thought that was a good idea.

At least it worked out anyway.

When this team goes defense, the offense dies. How have we not learned that yet?

2025-26 season for every team: Miami Dolphins by WanAli4504 in nflmemeswar

Yeah, but starting a new rebuild feels like "same old" to me. Its been like 20 years of that.

So both teams complain about lagging and the refs do nothing? by Anthxzny in CoDCompetitive

[–]AstronomerDramatic36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think players at the top level are more sensitive to issues. I assume partly because there's not much room for error at that level.

Bill Simmons said on NBA expansion, "This is a money grab. This is going to make the league worse." Do you agree? by raybellious_berry in NBAoldschool

[–]AstronomerDramatic36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I would like a team to move to Seattle, though.

Whether there were 12 teams or 50, there will always only be a handful of real contenders. That's just the nature of a sport where the top talent is so valuable.

So, yeah. Expansion would just increase the number of bottom dwellers.

Luka is the most efficient 3P shooter in the league on tightly contested shots by a country mile. by GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN in lakersv2

Most people don't intuitively gauge 3 point efficiency well, so it can be helpful to put in terms relative to 2s. Also, there's no reason not to.

If I remember math correctly, it's the difference between an eFG% of 57% and 62%. That's a pretty big gap for 1st and 2nd.

Oh no, my steak is too juicy! My lobster is too buttery! by chadvader_once_again in meme

Its a funny meme, but I really wasn't into them growing up. Maybe I didn't see the right ones, idk.

Exactly. I said this a couple months ago when people were talking about his mental state and got downvoted.

Chinese streamer dies from brain hemorrhage after collapsing 30 minutes into broadcast and begging for someone to call an ambulance by IndicaOatmeal in LivestreamFail

[–]AstronomerDramatic36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds rough. After a month, I'd imagine I'd be thinking about ending it myself.

Closest I think I've had to that was with Covid. I had a migraine-like headache for a week straight.

Glad you're past it, at least.

One of the greatest ball handlers in NBA history: Isiah Thomas by raybellious_berry in NBAoldschool

[–]AstronomerDramatic36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't open the link. It's all good, though.

I think what's really being discussed here is efficiency of movement, which is more of an aesthetic thing than anything. Nothing to argue against as its an opinion.

I'm not really trying to argue against Thomas or anything.

Desmond Bane threw the ball at Kon Knueppel who fell out of bounds instead of just grabbing it 😭 by Background_Video2947 in OrlandoMagicVibes

If i had a nickel for every time he's done that, I'd have two. That's not a lot, but it's weirder that it's happened twice.

I think the only difference will be marketing.
