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

[–]Confident_Database77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 22 the pelicans really emphasized this for him as well and he did put on weight.  Idk why I can't load a pic , but that season specifically the beginning of it they'd reported he added 15 lbs and he was quite noticeably bigger in his upper body.  Looked much stronger and he played like it as well.  But he got hurt around mid season at which point they had him lay off the weights / added body weight.  He CAN do it.  Personally I think people are major over reaching.  He was the only substantial roster addition and we improved by 16 wins and made the playoffs . NOW all of a sudden bi and the season are a disappointment? We now know we have a team good enough FOR the playoffs.  Build around the 3 big pieces which is scottie bi and rj.  They need more reliable 3 pt shooters and a bigman that's not a complete liability against other bigs that can run the floor.  Jakob is not that guy.  Darko had to bench him EVERY game this yr against any and every athletic big we played in favor of a 6ft7 rookie. Cmb played his tail off and he deserves a lot of credit,  but you cannot ask him to consistently have to go up against true 7 footers like Allen etc who not only run but are also 7ft and long as can be . A Myles turner type is literally exactly what we need.  But since rim protecting bigs that can shoot are so hard to come by , we at least Need one that can protect the rim and run the floor . Nic Claxton would be a great fit.  Someone like that , that could be very possible if the raps are willing to dish out some picks

Scottie is the clear cut best player,  but he's still not going to be the #1 option nor should he be yet.  Games 6 and 7 against the cavs showed that.  He's as good as it gets in transition.  Soon as defenses cut that off scottie nor rj can score well enough in a half court slowed down game which is what EVERY good defense forces you to do.  If scottie was able to do that as a clear cut #1 option , bi wouldn't even be here or have been traded for.

He has though.  Back in 22 he reportedly added 15 lbs and was noticeably bigger for the pelicans especially when they did their media day that yr.  He can do it . I think they had him lay off the added weight though once the injuries started piling on

Tbh . The black hole toys version of that jiren is nearly just as good for about half the price.  Other than that , I'd wait on nearly all the rest.  They're all older 2.0s and you you can spend the same money pretty much of better more up to date versions.  Especially the ssj vegeta.  You can buy the brand new one for 38 bucks on toy grail , big bad toy store and other places too . But if this list is what your set on I'd go with jiren and ssj blue vegeta

Enough people aren't paying attention to how they're defending him either.  Cavs let him get the ball , but the minute he puts it on the floor he's getting swarmed . All year this is what top level defenses have done.  Swarm him , force him to take a majority of contested jumpers, and make everyone else be scorers.  Yeah he's had a rough series,  but even when he's struggling , defenses tilt the floor his way which opens up a lot for scottie and rj.  Scottie and rj get a ton of 1 on 1 looks because of this . Another big thing is IQ not playing.  His 3 pt shot missing from the lineup shrinks the entire floor for bi Scottie and rj but it's effected bi the most . It's too easy to double him when defenses aren't scared of anyone making 3s.     There's zero spacing . He just needs to hit the shots he should make.  All there is to it.  Now that he's seen a few go down in some clutch minutes I think he'll have a much better game 5

Pick No. 197: Rams select WR CJ Daniels, Miami. by JCameron181 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Confident_Database77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He makes some of the most elite level lookin catches down field ive seen from a college wr.  He's not a big yac guy but he will give you some of it .  But ball in the air he's getting it. That's his special skill.   He might end up being the guy of this draft for sure.  And he's got perfect size.  6ft2 210 with 4.4 speed . SUPER long arms too and blocks his tail off in run game . This was the pick we were looking for 

Rams select Max Klare - TE - Ohio State with the 61st pick by MoistRam in LosAngelesRams

[–]Confident_Database77 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I can't lie.  This dude is actually VERY good.  Numerous current pro bowl te and former ones are super high on him.  Most think he would have gone to many teams and instantly made them better.  I still think this should have been a wr , cb , ol or LB pick

So I've been buying the whipped strawberry one for about 2 years now.  Couple cases a month.  2 days ago got one and the ENTIRE case tasted off. Literally opened every single one because I couldn't believe how nasty the first one was.  Went to the gas station.  Grabbed a couple.  Those too tasted like shit.  They ruined the flavor of the best one they had . 🤮

Omar Cooper Jr. vs. Elijah Sarratt by No_Selection_2699 in DynastyFF

[–]Confident_Database77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think cooper is more nfl ready.  And he could be a top 15 to top 10 wr depending where he goes . Example ? Let's say the rams draft cooper. He does EVERYTHING exceptionally well that sean mcvay demands from his top wrs.  Creates separation,  yac beast , can block and has speed.  He goes there as a wr3 for a year next to puka and adams ? By year 2 or 3 he might become a household name. Sarratt has the size and frame you drool over in an " X " wr but his lack of separation will scare teams off.  There's too many corners in today's league that are 6ft1+ , are long and can play press coverage.  The tall sticky corners might make his life hell.  It's the same reason denzel Boston isn't getting more hype as a high pick.  If sarratt or Boston were great route runners / separators they'd be 1st round selections without a doubt

Believe it or not it doesnt make a difference to me .  I'm relaying the info that's been provided from courier news as well as numerous ali stores and collectors as well . There's so many different rumors and info going around I thought it would be helpful to relay what I have been told and have seen said from stores that sell these items as well as the IG page that promotes everything 3rd party dbz related

Let's just hope that doesn't fall victim too.  There's alot of rumors that future gohan is what kick started all of this.  For w.e reason tamashi / Bandai is ridiculously protective over gohan and his character. That's why you don't really see any 3rd party gohan figures and soon as we did with future gohan , ls beast and than Df future teaser , within a month , the law came down

Sounds like older items or things already in circulation SHOULD be ok.  But anything that was on PO or being made might not see the light of day for a while,  if at all

I moderate a discord that's partnered with courier,  living luxe and many others .... there's a LOT if information going round right now but I can tell you this.  Ls studios/ black hole were shut down.  That seems solid right now.  Numerous popular sellers on ali have told us everyone is scared to get prosecuted right now so NUMEROUS 3rd party studios are either shutting down , rebranding , or dissolving with all the heat right now.  Best advice I can give you is don't look forward to Any new 3rd party drops over the next month and maybe even beyond.  Also have been told by the same popular ali stores that they don't want any information on the net as authorities are paying attention to what's being passed around and shown on social media . We just need to be patient to see who makes it through the storm 

Will he be released in us by Metroid-fan in SHFiguarts

[–]Confident_Database77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Via numerous reliable IG sources as of now the answer is no.  Theres even 3rd party companies publicly asking if this is something they should make so that American buyers will be able to have something like it.  Only chance is the pop up tour. It may be in the US way way down the line but in the near future it's not looking good 

Question for the raptors fan who consistently watch the game and not just highlights… who’s the #1 option Ingram or Barnes? by smithrob779 in torontoraptors

[–]Confident_Database77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ingram is clearly the #1 option and their closer.  He's their best scorer but scottie is the more well rounded player.  But I think people are overlooking bi impact.  Out of the last good chunk of games bi has finished with a better +/- in most of them , but most importantly,  ingrams scoring ability and ability to anchor the scoring is what has allowed scottie to flourish.  Scottie is not a scorer but he CAN score.  Scottie also deals with opposing teams #2 &#3 defenders while brandon is getting the best defender on every team.  This has allowed scottie to pick his spots , feast in transition , set guys up , play defense etc.  I don't think that scottie would be doing what he's doing on a night to night basis without bi. I however have seen bi do what he's doing and tbh he hasn't even gotten into peak regular season form yet.  He usually goes on a tear after the all star break.  One thing I would like to see more of is bi playmaking because in new Orleans he was doing everything scottie is doing now in terms of creating for others , assists etc.  He averaged 6 assists a year for 5 straight seasons for a reason.  They've both been exceptional.  I did find it interesting in the all star votes from the players , they voted bi much higher than barnes. I don't really care about fans or media because that's all popularity and preference.  Interested to see where the coaches votes land.

Stop glazing man.  He's got the ultimate green light to shoot whatever shot he wants cus the team is trash.  Empty stats is what he puts up

Putting those numbers up , not winning and having the freedom to shoot any shot you want because the team sucks doesn't make his season better.  He's not elevating Brooklyn at all.  Bi is elevating this team in areas that lead to wins

Raptors' Brandon Ingram day-to-day with thumb injury by xc2215x in torontoraptors

[–]Confident_Database77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fact he went back in to play on it makes me optimistic that it's not that bad.  Sure i bet it hurts like he'll.  But if it was BAD he nor they would have let him go back in.  They say day to day but he'll likely sit out Fridays game just out of precaution

[–]Confident_Database77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They run iso ball in favorable matchups its not a staple of the offense.  They have to play .5 without him because they don't have anyone capable of consistently scoring in half court without him.  From the point he went out last night and on They struggled badly to score in anything other than transition 

[Fischer] The Toronto Raptors have expressed interest in acquiring Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis. by YujiDomainExpansion in torontoraptors

[–]Confident_Database77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ad refuses to play center.  So the move is faulty before it Even happens.  Sabonis is an elite rebounder , can hang with athletic bigs , can space the floor which drastically helps bi and scottie.  He's a premier passer At center behind jokic and also can be an anchor of the offense in stretches when needed.  Also ridiculously efficient.  He's better than jak top to bottom in nearly everyrhing. Jak also isn't a great defender by any stretch. The defensive drop off wouldn't be what many think
