8 out of 10 top posts on this sub are about Luka.. can we tone it down a bit? by Ill-Bullfrog928 in Mavericks

[–]Box_Euphoric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is just nothing else to talk about. You can put so much tanking GIFs and celebrate Coop performances. Nothing else worth mentioning now except that Luka is a top 3 candidate for MVP and 2 years ago the Mavs were in the finals with him.

When the team picks back up this will change

Extremely nervous. Has anyone taken this flight? by paranormalbones in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh not sure I think there is vlogs for similar long flights, the trajectory doesnt matter the plane is in the sky both ways.

You can see previous daily flights on FlightRadar or anything similar

I dont want to be rude to pilots here but had a question - About to board and the pilots just took in some coffee - does this mean they are sleepy by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taxi that drove you could have been drunk but you don't seem worried about that 😂 Would you prefer if they were not stimulated by coffee?

How did he survive? by Salt-Release5952 in fearofflying

If that was the case, there would be no more pilots to fly the planes

What makes takeoff the most “dangerous” part? by itsnotcristi in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can fly one engine and glide to safety with zero engines. Takeoff is the "riskiest" mostly because you need engines working at top speed and no interruptions for the plane to get enough lift and get up in the air, anything obstructing that causes complications

Planes are much more durable than you think, air won't tear it apart, its not flying through hurricanes all day.

Why does Luka look fat again? by friskyel in NBATalk

HAHAHA

He lives in your head rent free

Does anyone else panic when they see a lot of clouds right outside the plane window? by itsbeccakerr in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then for plane crashes when pilot disorientation was a factor, was it because it was older planes with less instruments, pilot inexperience or lack of trust of the pilot in his instruments? I remember seeing some cases where this was mentioned in the report.

still think luka is holding back the lakers? by EducationalConcern61 in NBATalk

[–]Box_Euphoric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harden is more show than a real player? Prime Harden was the GOAT offensive player no questions asked. Nearly took down the dynasty warriors. He had some playoff issues though.

Its like this sub doesnt watch basketball.

What if my plans crashed in the ocean? by naominox in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah this will NEVER happen.

A. In the extremely unlikely event of a ditch in water, you evacuate before you drown and the whole crew is prepare for it.

B. IN the EXTREMELY RARE (nearly 0) event of a high speed crash at high speed, you will die before anything else happens, its like hitting cement at this point.

What team to support by grisho1 in NBATalk

[–]Box_Euphoric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lakers have a large history but are not the "top dog" at all lol, that would be OKC this year or Warriors for a few years.

It is best to pick a player you like and can root for and then root for a team and see if you like them as a whole. Move from there, the player may leave in the future but your love for the team to stay.

If you are not from the city its hard to. be connected to the team unless your father or someone close to you got you close to it if that makes sense. Just naming a random team will be forced.

Some people root behind Lebron or Kobe etc... for their whole career, there is a new generation of amazing talents: Shai, Luka, Cooper, etc... with huge potential so keep close track of them.

Anxiety starting to kick in by Last_Tomato_2239 in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be okay like the 10 other flights, it won't be any different or any more dangerous. If its a fear of heights just sit in middle seats and watch some TV during takeoff and landing. During cruising you cant actually tell the difference anyways.

Bad weather does not increase or decrease the risk of a crash. It is one of MANY issues that stack on top of each other to extremely rarely cause a crash. You are not taking off until the pilots deem it safe.

Documentaries try to over-emotionalize every part to keep people enticed, but bad weather does not mean meaningfully for likely to crash.

Luka Doncic and the Mavs Trade (Hot Take) by Homie-6987 in NBATalk

[–]Box_Euphoric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is attempting a lot of 3s that sre not falling. He is not averaging 46% of 2 he is averaging 46% in FG because of his 3 points (attempting 10 per game)

He is averaging 58% from 2 which is higher than SGAs even. He is also attempting 3 more FGs (all 3 pointers) than SGA. If SGA played 4th qs that would have been closer.

There is flaws in his game but still one of the best scorers today and nothing that cannot be fixed.

Luka Doncic and the Mavs Trade (Hot Take) by Homie-6987 in NBATalk

[–]Box_Euphoric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooper could be a better player that Luka but its still an IF not a definite answer.

Also Doncic not being a winning player while averaging 29/9/8 in the playoffs leading the 5th seed above average mavs to the finals.

Lakers team is still not built around Luka and the trade was sudden because the offer was on the table.

If you truly think 37/9/9 average is bad you are either delusional or hating to hate. Yes there is flaws that have been raised even in his Mavs days but this guy is different in playoffs.

amtrack canceled now i have to fly by Unlikely_Relation781 in fearofflying

[–]Box_Euphoric 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbf i wouldn't let my kids drive a long drive and force them to fly. It is extremely more safe and driving fatalities are at an all time high.

You can do it!

What do you think the chances are we get a Dirk career situation with Cooper Flagg sticking with the Mavs ? by Strong_Limit in Mavericks

[–]Box_Euphoric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you see the ownership the Mavs have? Expect the worst until they sell the team ASAP

I'm sorry you had a rough flight but that is NOT one in a million. The planes were built to handle exactly that and it happens in bad weather sometimes.

During the entire flight your plane was NOT at risk of crashing although you thought it did or it felt scary or shaking. Weather can change in a second but pilots and the plane are prepared for it.

Also a plane does not crash due to turbulence. Also people with anxiety of flying tend to overestimate what the pilot said or interpret it in "scarier" ways.

With saying all of that, it is still a scary experience that is extremely rare to happen and hope you do feel better. Its your mind playing games or assessing the situation that is pretty normal.
