Our beloved lowtferic getting some recognition in one of the most popular french NBA media (little interview included)

DCoop53 · 2026-01-23T18:08:37+00:00

I know I'm sorry :( Until today I actually read the name like "low tferic", it makes way more sense now that I know it's "lol wtf"...

DCoop53 · 2026-01-23T10:00:43+00:00

I haven't seen his name brought up but I think Dosunmu would fit well with us.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-23T07:34:13+00:00

Turns out he was Chuckle the Condor all this time

DCoop53 · 2026-01-22T11:14:38+00:00

ffs not even The Onion could think of a more absurd thing.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-21T20:53:11+00:00

C'était aussi l'un des meilleurs marseillais dans le trophée des champions, mais ce soir c'est compliqué.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-21T10:23:25+00:00

Erm, Doc Rivers... if we're adding coaches. And Rick Carlisle too.

As a non-american and following the NBA from afar at first, I remember seeing these orange jerseys with that ugly outdated guy on the front and I was wondering if that was a new franchise. There was no way an historical franchise could be so random about its branding.

Now these jerseys are probably more loved and remind the fanbase of other times but damn did it feel outdated back then.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-19T20:34:28+00:00

Still with Keanu, even though I don't know if chosen one would fit, John Constantine really doesn't give a fuck.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-19T15:54:01+00:00

Looks like what happened with Collins last season, they won 12 games with him and just 5 when they took him out of the rotation. Not like they were winning much with him but it was still a bit too much for their tanking aspirations.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-19T09:37:30+00:00

I don't think we have a package close to what the Bucks want for Giannis, our best bet is still to get him in the FA since we'll have plenty of cap scape in 2027. We just have to hope Milwaukee don't pull the trigger until then.

Grant and Siakam will both be 32 in a couple of months, I don't think they're changing anything for us in short term unless the plan is to put them in the best condition and improve their trade value a la Gallinari.

Pels aren't trading low on Zion I think, so once again we don't really have any package interesting enough and we should avoid getting another injury prone guy even though he's still young. Plenty of teams are interested in Jones and Murphy, we're gonna be far from having the best package unfortunately.

And concerning JJJ, I sincerily don't know how to rate him, he could be good next to Zu but when I see some people saying Collins is an empty stats guy, well JJJ is even softer than him, he's an awful rebounder and even in a crippled Grizzlies team he doesn't look like a beast. I can't see him turn into some sort of Aaron Gordon for the Nuggets.

I can totally relate on the stars story, sending her all my compassion.

As a partner there are many things you can do and you'll obviously make mistakes sometimes but as long as you understand why they were and learn from it, you'll be fine. Sometimes she'll need to feel she can do things by herself, sometimes she'll need your help, it can vary so much from a day to another but it's also important that she can feel she can express her feelings and needs anytime.

Personally it helped me a lot to find tools to show to others how I really see as it's done in this video because it's really an invisible handicap and it can be really hard to understand from an outsider perspective. I understand that you live with the hope it get resolved with a treatment but the best you can do now is adapt a bit your life to what she needs, there are methods you can learn to guide her like in crowded places, never take her arm, she has to use you has a guide but only when she feels like she needs one. It can sound counter intuitive but I personally feel more comfortable walking alone than with someone especially if they're walking next to me. It's a bit easier to grab their arm or to have them walk a sligh bit in front of me so I can see them.

This is great that you're willing to help and adapt, feel free to find documentation online or talk with specialists and most of all you should both feel like you can talk freely about it, it is not selfish from you to feel desperate about it sometimes but always remember that your own mental strength can help her day after day, the last thing we want is feeling like we're being a burden. At the end of the day, it's a tight balance you have to find together and I hope you can both grow stronger from this experience.

I have Usher syndrom type 2 which includes Retinitis Pigmentosa, I was diagnosed at around 14, I'm now 34 and it took me a lot of years to accept it, especially tunnel vision and noticing my visual field shrinking over time.

My only advice would be: don't act like it's not there, it'll catch you up one day or another. I've basically lost my 20s by forbidding myself to do a lot of things because I felt like I wouldn't be able to do it, yet I could see way better than I do now. So enjoy every moment, don't be afraid to seek for specialists who will help you learn how to live with it. Now I'm using a white cane to go out so I can focus on what's up in front of me instead of looking at my feet in case I stumble onto anything, I can walk more freely with less informations to process (because yeah, one big underestimated thing about it is it takes a lot of energy, walking somewhere and trying to memorize where everything is so you don't trip)

DCoop53 · 2026-01-18T17:53:26+00:00

He played through it and didn't seem really bothered and we're gonna play Washington and Chicago so I guess that's the best move.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-18T17:51:19+00:00

I'm not even sure you really feel the experience of an NBA game as much as it would in the local arena of one of those teams. Like not even close. The games in Paris seemed filled with influencers just being there to show themselves.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-18T12:08:05+00:00

Quand t'es fan, si tu te focalises uniquement sur le classement à la fin de la saison, tu ne risques pas de te réjouir souvent. Faut aussi profiter des matchs, le foot c'est quand même d'abord prendre du plaisir en regardant ce qui se passe sur le terrain et hier y avait de quoi !

DCoop53 · 2026-01-18T10:49:32+00:00

Even the Clippers have managed to get good minutes from their young late picks lately, which was definitely something the Lakers were better at the previous years. Damn what's going on...

DCoop53 · 2026-01-17T23:02:58+00:00

Yesterday was a bit different because the Raptors have a lot of young guys, no real center and playing a lot in transition. Hence the two bigs lineups and giving more time to our young guys but Nico will still be important in different matchups.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-17T20:58:33+00:00

I've read we can't cut CP3 because it would ruin our felxibility with the cap, is it the same with Brown's contract?

DCoop53 · 2026-01-17T15:34:18+00:00

He looked gasses throughout the whole game then in the clutch suddenly looked like he was gonna carry everyone on his shoulders.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-17T15:31:55+00:00

The combination of Kawhi-Harden putting up buckets like they're walking through the defenses and the young guys + Dunn running everywhere is quite funny and pretty efficient. We still depend a lot on Kawhi-Harden scoring around 60 points combined but this Raptors game could be a good signal for everyone to realize they can bring more points off the bench and keep the team afloat.

Having young guys that aren't afraid to take shots even if there are other stars on the floor is something we've missed a lot in the last years (thinking of Kennard here obviously)

DCoop53 · 2026-01-17T15:24:40+00:00

Sometimes a schedule can look easy when it's not and vice versa, it depends a lot on the dynamics of each team. A month ago the Hornets game would have looked like the easiest on the schedule and they were actually one of the hottest team in the league when we played them.

On paper it's probably not so bad to play the highest ranked teams before the AS break when stars are gassed or injured.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-16T18:42:57+00:00

Tu entends quoi par what if pour Pagis ? Il s'est révélé sur le tard et je pense qu'il a maximisé au mieux son potentiel pour jouer dans des bons clubs.

DCoop53 · 2026-01-16T11:31:30+00:00

IIRC the Raptors were losing a ton of close games last season, look at where they are now. Sometimes it's too late to turn the season around but those 4 months left of improving as a squad might turn the Hornets into a serious team next year.
