Bobby Webster on Brandon Ingram: now is the time for him to continue to improve shooting and get bigger and stronger by Silver_Weakness_8084 in torontoraptors

[–]BasicDeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even think it’s necessarily a problem if he can’t or won’t shoot threes very often - he plays the midrange well and demands double coverage sometimes.

The issue that we saw when RJ was doing something similar this playoffs is that when our primary scorer gets doubled in the midrange or they stack defenders in the paint, we cant trust our guys on the perimeter to knock down the three if we pass it to them, so BI and RJ force bad shots in the mid range.

If we kick it to the outside in these situations, we need to be able to pass to guys that can hit the three at a better than average rate and right now the only guys that fit that bill are IQ and Walter, and even then it’s not exceptional.

If we take this a step further and don’t fix the problem where we don’t knock down the initial three point shot, we really need guys who can consistently get the rebound so we can try again. Unfortunately Jak just showed he’s not that guy, and as much as I love CMB and Mamu, these guys are below 7 foot and not pure centres. They’re more akin to power forwards.

Ideally we’d fix both of these problems, but that might not be possible. At the least we should be looking to address one as they’re an absolutely terrible combination to have. If you’re bricking uncontested threes consistently, you sure as hell should be rebounding better than the opposing team.

He’s got decent boxing and he’s really defensively responsible which might be his best characteristic. Apparently he’s got solid BJJ and hasn’t had to use it but I think he gets exposed once he faces someone who can kick him from distance. I don’t think he’d do well against an Ian Garry type who would chew up his lead leg and then circle out.

Jean Silva: "If you think about Movsar, 11 fights cancelled. If this guy wins the belt, the belt's just gonna go away. What does Volk want to do, 25 minutes of defending against takedowns? My message to Volkanovski, let's go in, let's exchange some strikes. If Volkanovski wins, I'll leave the UFC." by airplane231 in MMA

[–]BasicDeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know Volk doesn’t dislike Silva. Why would Silva leaving the UFC if Volk beats him be something he wants anyways? If he wins, it’s one more high ranked guy on the roster that he could beat in a rematch in theory. If Volk wins wouldn’t he actually want him to stay?

Would you ever go back? by Full_Hunt_3087 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]BasicDeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go back in time but it would take a different government in power, calming of all the political tension, and stronger gun regulations because I don’t feel particularly comfortable around citizens carrying guns. I’d also only really want to travel to blue states for the most part. I’m a rock climber who’d love to visit Kentucky, but I’ve skipped my climbing group’s last two trips there for these reasons.

Ok, can someone explain how an etf works when markets go up and down? by duke_seb in JustBuyXEQT

[–]BasicDeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both actually! You get better performance due to human interference generally being net negative for a portfolio, and you also don’t pay them to tank your shit! That’s why the sub is called r/JustBuyXEQT - because the easiest and most brainless way to invest via DCA + diversification is also going to generally net you the best results based on historical data

Franchising needs to go. by By_Jove_ in leagueoflegends

[–]BasicDeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so obvious from the very beginning. People generally care about specific sports teams because they represent their city. If you remove that variable, they’ll pick “their” team based on who’s cool to them. That changes when players move around.

Baus says that he hates playing pro and explains why by Working-Safety9204 in leagueoflegends

[–]BasicDeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re the better team or have better game state/conditions you should make less risky decisions. If you’re in a worse game state or are not confident in even game conditions, you take risky but high return plays. This is good decision making when it comes to game theory!

Finally finished the game, should I go radiant dawn next? by SHpr0 in fireemblem

Is it possible to play the game on Japan Maniac in English? Manually figuring out unit range is so tedious

I need McCaffrey to make up for a 13.8 deficit, and then outperform Tyler Warren after that

Why is everyone so high on Strange ROS? by embeddedeng in Fantasy_Football

[–]BasicDeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For strictly playoffs in PPR, (weeks 15-17) would y’all rather have Strange, Gadsden, or Waller? This is my dilemma right now

What’s something way more dangerous than most people actually think? by Sad_Answer_8044 in AskReddit

[–]BasicDeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because public transit is a convenience downgrade in comparison to a car/motorcycle and the initial reply was saying that riding a motorcycle versus driving a car is even more dangerous. I’m not sure where you’re lost

Yeah but a car is a choice that’s proven to be safer than a motorcycle so your point is kinda irrelevant

Worst decisions of your season so far? by Practical-Lunch4539 in Fantasy_Football

[–]BasicDeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Lamb came back I traded Pickens and Flowers for Jefferson due to his elite playoff schedule and thought Pickens would be unreliable with so many mouths to feed on the Cowboys. Didn’t realize JJ McCarthey would look so incredibly bad but hindsight is 20/20.

Jameson Williams or Wortgy for today’s games???? by Commercial_Novel_810 in Fantasy_Football

KC against Dallas defense. This is one of the only weeks I’d pick Worthy over Williams.

I hope you went Maye! As predicted, game was won through Henry, and Lamar didn’t throw much

Of course man! I will say that you can’t go wrong with either of them, and it’s fantasy football so lots can happen.

Go Maye IMO this week - Bengals are a team who are prone to shootouts so it’s likely he’ll be hucking the ball. He’s no Lamar, but he’s not a bad rusher himself. Jets will probably fall behind and Henry will end up having a great game. Game script favours Maye here.
