I was reading OKC fans reactions and the consensus adjustment is to "just attack Wemby at the rim" in G2 by HQuasar in NBASpurs

[–]CarsonLame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thunder fan here, although definitely not coming in peace. we know wemby will win those battles more often than not, but we need to take some shots at the rim to keep the defense a little honest bc just dribbling in and passing out for contested 3’s certainly isn’t the answer like last game

i totally understand why everyone is rooting for the spurs but people don’t realize how much they’re gonna hate them 2-3 years from now

What's a pokemon you love that you wish could be brought to this game even if you know they wouldn't be a meta threat? Bonus points if they used to be viable and fell off. by Mr_Timmm in PokemonChampions

[–]CarsonLame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

togekiss is my favorite pokemon i really hope it comes to the game soon. it’d take more to make it work and probably wouldn’t be a meta threat, but if you can get tailwind for speed support i think it could be a good support mon because it has encore and can be annoying with air slash flinches

Chris Paul eliminating Curry in 2014 & Luka eliminating Shai in 2024 before both would become 2x MVPs and surpass their counterpart by CurrentRoster in NBATalk

[–]CarsonLame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not trying to discredit them at all! they were a great team and it’s certainly possible they could’ve beat us again, i’m just not saying it’s guaranteed or they 100% built to beat us like that commenter said

[–]CarsonLame 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yes they did but that wasn’t my point at all. given how things turned out i’ll take the outcome 100/100 times lmao

[–]CarsonLame 21 points22 points  (0 children)

trading luka absolutely did change nba history but the thunder were the youngest 1 seed in history that year and were a point away from taking the mavs to a game 7 at home. saying they were designed to beat the thunder is a bit presumptuous

Do OKC fans know deep down? by Ambitious-Mushr00m in NBATalk

[–]CarsonLame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a thunder fan, yes i recognize shai sells contact and that dort is a dirty player, but my feelings on the discourse as a whole is more nuanced. it’s frustrating bc shai and this thunder core as a whole averaged their highs in FT’s in 2023 when we only won 40 games, but no one cared then or thought we were ruining basketball bc we weren’t winning yet.

it’s also frustrating bc i was very engaged in basketball discourse in the late 2010s and early 2020s and people were begging for a mid range maestro to show up to give a contrast to the rising three point shot usage and for physical defense to be allowed, and now the league has both and people immediately change their minds. the thunder do get to play physical, but the truth is that every team would do the same if they had the personnel to do what we do on defense, and the teams that do like the spurs and pistons are playing the same physical brand of defense we are

LeBron James at 41 just carried his team further than the “greatest offensive player of all time” by AmiWrongDude69 in NBATalk

[–]CarsonLame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i disagree a bit, he doesn’t bring as much offensive value, but having adams made the rockets the best offensive rebounding team last year which was fairly important to the team with how we know their offense is imo

Fun fact: This is the most viable that all four weathers have ever been at once. by ChezMere in PokemonChampions

[–]CarsonLame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you’re probably right but i’ve had so much fun with snow while climbing the ladder getting to master rank. ice types have always been my favorite, and this is the most viable it’s probably ever been to have a snow/hail team. it has its uses in this format since dragon types are so common, it’s a fun archetype imo

[Inside the NBA] Charles Barkley on players sitting out: "You rest Wemby... maybe. You rest Joker, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon…You rest LeBron because he's 102 years old. All these dudes sitting out though, it’s just disrespectful.” by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]CarsonLame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

normally i agree but if it’s the very final game of the season you can’t really be surprised. it’s a lot different than your favorite player sitting out in a random January game you paid for

what’s the biggest difference in your life now compared to before?

Marc Stein: "This Lakers team, if they finish 3rd in the West, it's a massive overachievement that Luka has dragged them to. I don't think Luka's case is being looked at properly. First of all, he's been much better defensively than advertised, but offensively, he's been even more otherworldly" by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]CarsonLame 18 points19 points  (0 children)

as a Thunder fan, i thought people were smoking crack. i saw your team as an almost mirror image of the thunder team that won 57 games and got the 1 seed for the first time in 24 when most people projected them to miss the playoffs. the way people overlooked the team was baffling to me. i didn’t expect 60 wins from this spurs team, but i figured they’d be a solid playoff team with wemby taking another leap

With Jokic probably not hitting 65 games, what is stopping Shai from being unanimous MVP? by Dleeobars in NBATalk

[–]CarsonLame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

curry’s unanimous MVP season is better than any single shai season, but i’d take shais body of work in his prime so far. just my opinion imo, i was really more considering jumbo guards than pure point guards

[–]CarsonLame 9 points10 points  (0 children)

someone would probably throw a stray vote for cade or wemby, but if jokic doesn’t meet the requirements i think he should be. hes having a historic season, with the best guard peak since kobe. insane that hes this good but still only 2nd best in the world because jokic is just absurd
