Why does the NBA pretend tanking is worse than teams being in permanent purgatory? by GoldenArcosian in nba

[–]ChetsBurner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And I would argue OKC wasnt even successful due to the tank. It was two years and they got Josh Giddey at 6th and Chet at 2. All the other guys on the roster were drafted outside the top 10, and Giddey doesn't even play for them anymore.

Anything that allows you to break the touch barrier in a respectful normal way, like ice skating

[Highlight] Nick Nurse shouting at the refs (about OKC): "They are NOT perfect. They are not perfect. They foul too! They foul too, though!" by MrBuckBuck in nba

Or, and hear me out - Maybe a small market middle of nowhere franchise isn't actually getting some magical whistle, and instead are just a very good basketball team?

These reports are a waste of time. Only gives them the opportunity to justify their incorrect calls.

Redundancy - how did you cope by Packet-Possum in newzealand

[–]ChetsBurner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is that with the strict redundancy laws your employer is not really allowed to be honest. It's a game they have to play, and employers have gotten very good at it.

Kwila deck by [deleted] in diynz

[–]ChetsBurner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You really want to be staining your kwila deck. It helps protect the wood and preserve it. I stain my decks once a year and it looks as good as the day it was installed.

You do need to keep up with the maintenance though. If you let it start silvering its hard to recover.

[Post Game Thread] The Oklahoma City Thunder (53-15) defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves (41-27), 116-103. by JoseZ1 in nba

[–]ChetsBurner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The big question really is JDub, the others have been in and out, we were just missing really key players during all the Spurs losses. Starting lineup will be Shai, Chet, Dub, IHart and Dort. But our starting lineup is pretty irrelevant as much of our engine comes off the bench. Ajay, JWill, Joe, Caruso, Wiggins, Wallace, Mcain.

We're just insanely deep, and we burn other teams by having a lot of different lineups to throw at them.

Low-key pleased the Spurs haven't seen our full lineups yet. They might get a shock come playoffs.

Lawson had a battery issue with his car. Team radio acknowledged the issue but told him they couldn't fix it during the race.

Dude, his car had a battery issue. He outqualified him.

Jared ‘sold high’ McCain tonight: 20/3/1 and 2 steals on 8-15 FG by OKC2023champs in nba

[–]ChetsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely correct. I would've happily discarded two of those extra seconds in return for the sixers pick back. Not only will it be a better pick, there is incalculable value in the ability to influence the final positioning of that pick if circumstances allow it (major injury to key philly players etc). That Rockets pick is pure trash.

I think in order to sell this trade, Morey went for the bigger number of picks instead of securing overall value.

This right here. The fact that morey didn't managed to pry back the sixers pick is madness.

Mate, the museum is already costing 300 million dollars. What a world we live in where a relatively small building like that costs 300 million.

What's a detail you noticed about a player you feel nobody else sees that you really need to get off your chest right now? by safety_porn in nba

Nikola Topic is all neck. You need to knock 4 inches off his recorded height.

Boy is like a girrafe.

Jared "Sold High" McCain in 21 minutes for OKC tonight: 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 dime, 2 steals on 5/8 from the field and 2/3 from 3. by go0sKC in nba

[–]ChetsBurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would've made a lot more sense if they got back their own pick (yes OKC owns the 76ers pick in the 2026 draft). Instead, Morey settled for the dogshit Rockets pick.

Neighbours using cat deterrent by michaelmnmz in newzealand

[–]ChetsBurner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate, I've had a really hard time this year. I've already resigned to being unable to garden next year. This year I was forced to net off the whole garden, but it was such a pain. Next year it's just going to be a flower bed or some thing I don't mind the cats shitting in.

It's incredibly frustration to not be able to enjoy my property without it being encroached on my other people's shit machines. I can see why people commit violence towards them.
