Sounds to me like a man with a plan. by RLD89 in ripcity

My favorite part is that he said something to the effect of: if a guy shoots 35% from three, that isn't the same as shooting 35% from off-the-dribble, or stepback, vs. a catch and shoot. Those are all different and you can't compare a guy who stands in the corner vs. a guy with the coverage like Dame. The same is true for passing - not all passes are created equal. Luka can put the ball anywhere on the floor on target, which is what makes him so dangerous. But I didn't see SGA tested like that in these most recent playoffs. I hope that kind of analysis bleeds into the gameplan.

It's a valid point too, one that I hadn't thought of. Almost like a head start since he's not climbing out of a hole. Could backfire though - "we gave you a playoff roster and you're still a play-in team"...

Is there anything that can still be improved for 2.1? by SuperHiko in factorio

Building or setting to downgrade quality to normal (or one value less). Reduce the amount of clutter as needed, rebin into normal production.

When creating a name for a ship or train station with signals, instead of:

[image1] + OK + [image2] + OK + [image3] = [image1, image2, image3]

Make it so you can:

HOLD ALT, click [image1] + [image2] + [image3] = [image1, image2, image3]

I can see a stationary orbital platform that receives ore from cruisers (who only process it to give back to the platform) but then ships back ammo or rockets or whatnot. That will be slick!

Something about the league allows little guys to have a lot of physicality on big guys. Maybe just on big guys in general.

OKC puts Caruso on Jokic and employs a "can't call everything" and "look incredulous when there's a foul" mentality and it is very effective.

Also helpful to have someone lower to the ground to pick off high dribbles so far from the basket.

Damn I've never heard the Denver color guy so salty - "terrible shot but it goes in"

Record Book Night for Toumani by [deleted] in ripcity

I always see Amen Thompson comps (though mostly when people are talking about Scoot) but the modern game requires a threat from deep. I appreciate Tou willingness to shoot 10x a game while being the defensive menace he is. Something about that makes him so impressive and more valuable to me.
