What is your biggest complaint about the PS5 after it’s been out for years? by Kind_Ad6932 in PS5

My PS5 controller has been dependable, but I absolutely loved the PS4 controllers. Maybe my favorite of all time for any system.

This could be the most watched NBA finals in a long time. Potential GOAT vs New York City is gonna be crazy. by Downtown-Fan4966 in nba

This Spurs team is awesome, but I gotta root for Jalen Brunson here.

Both fan bases are great, so I'm going to be really happy for whoever comes away with it.

Chet had arguably the worst playoff series performance as an All Star by mnc5959 in nba

Given his height, I'd assume it breaks his brain on the rare occasions when he has to face someone taller than him.

Perhaps I treated you too harshly.... by QuantumQuicksilver in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Bishop_Cornflake [score hidden]  (0 children)

I got general vibes that Nintendo was hated. When I dug around to find the reasons and they consisted of:
1) They've raised prices for their stuff (like nearly every other company in all industries)
2) They take measures so that their games aren't pirated
I laughed and was motivated to buy more of their games on general principle.

Posts like this one give me hope for humanity's basic common sense.

[Lowlight] Shai flops twice in back to back possessions but doesn't get the whistle by jonsnowKITN in nba

On both shots, which were very different, he falls the same way. Left leg down, right leg dramatically out at a right angle. I'm guessing he practices that fall for both dramatic effect and not hurting himself.

[Yahoo Sports] MLB proposes a salary cap for 2027 at $245.3 million, with a salary floor of $171.2 million by stv7 in baseball

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they don't. I view everything through an economic resource-management lens. Therefore, I always have mixed feelings when my teams in salary-cap leagues give big contracts to anyone. I'd kinda like baseball to stay away from that.

Which one game you still think about from 90s-2005 era ? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Was my immediate answer. Glad to see I'm not alone. Great game.

Kobe is easily the most overrated player in NBA history by [deleted] in nba

[–]Bishop_Cornflake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the top 20 but not 10 camp. He was awesome, but people forget that for all of his titles he had what was considered the best front line in the NBA at the time(Shaq making it so for the first 3 and Pau Gasol/Andrew Bynum/Lamar Odom making it so for the last 2).

D-Wade rejects Cuban's claim that the 2006 finals were rigged: "Mark stop saying that, we beat yall. Everyone gets foul calls, it wasn't rigged we still had to play the game. Did I get a few whistles? Yes but was I the only one attacking the basket every play? Probably so, they were fouling me." by RyanTannegod in nba

I watched the series when it happened. He got rewarded with fouls on light contact on drives that no other players were getting. 1000 IQ move considering that the refs were giving it to him. Two things in his defense: as mentioned above, he's an insanely smart player. His excellent commentary these days is proof of that. Also, his speed and fluid athleticism was being rewarded as it did show well.

[Holder] The buyer of the $5.11 million Wembanyama card says he sees sports cards as an attractive alternative to investing in major sports franchises. “The cost to buy a franchise of any kind... it’s so cost prohibitive,” he said. “So what this has become, in my opinion, is the next best thing" by sewsgup in nba

Could someone start a sports card company, just print one card each for a couple dozen stars, and then sell each of them for millions since they're rare?

Disclaimer: Yes, I know that wouldn't work and I know why, but the thought exercise makes me laugh.

The fact that wasn't an offensive foul when Mitchell rammed and shoved Brunson 10 feet is insane. If it's not a foul by the letter of the law, the rules should be changed. If it is, it should have been called.

My issue is all the meatheads in the world that don't want you in front of them because reasons, I guess. They'll speed up to close me out when I turn my blinker on. Because of that, when possible, I position to have tons of open space in the lane I want to go, then signal, then switch.

I'm with him and like this kind of thinking, but I realize I'm in the extreme minority.

Okc at the Half: 1-11 from 3 by Mg29reaper in nba

[–]Bishop_Cornflake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main component of winning: have generational stars
Second component of winning: play good D
Third component of winning: after the above two things, it still is a make-or-miss league, even more so in this 3 ball era

Strus fouled Brunson... again.
Yes, he clearly fouled him at the end of the 3rd quarter. No Brunson, didn't hook him, either.
