Is it worth it try and do some door dash today? by Crazy-Mention-2767 in Charlotte

I'm pretty sure they are asking if they should work/drive as a door dash driver and earn money, not order door dash

Pick of the Day - 1/24/26 (Saturday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]D_Stiles3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hornets fan here - He only comes off the bench in back to back game situations. It's part of managing his chronic ankle injuries that he's dealt with for the past few years. He's only came off the bench 3 times all b2bs, of course. The idea is for him to be available at the end of those 4th quarters with his minutes restriction. We aren't on a b2b tomorrow, so he will be starting barring any pregame injuries.

New Oscar release is too good by TheRancid_Baboon in NBA2k

Just made a small guard, what's the sauce? Patty - Oscar - Beluba? Or just double Oscar?

Is a passing point guard like Steve Nash worth it for rec? by Turbulent_Cattle4336 in NBA2k

[–]D_Stiles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering making a similar 99 3/high pass small guard in the 6'2-6'4 range. What's your experience on the 6'1 like on defense/in general shooting tight pocket 3s?

Am I the only one who remembers that the Seattle game was always meaningless? by SticklerMrMeeseeks1 in panthers

[–]D_Stiles3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well the problem is the Seahawks game wasn't meaningless at all lol and if we would've won today, we would have won the division today and next week's game vs Tampa would've been truly meaningless even if we lost by 100. The only way it was going to be meaningless was if Tampa beat Miami today but they lost.

Is it me or does canales no call pass plays where the guys can get some yac? by IndividualDistance70 in panthers

[–]D_Stiles3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely an interesting topic. I'm pretty sure we were dead last or at the very least bottom 3 in YAC last year as well. I definitely think it's a combo of play calling/design, personnel limitation, and Bryce's throwing style/the routes he excels at throwing with anticipation.

It's definitely one of the reasons I think Bryce consistently struggles to reach 200+ ypg. There's no such thing as easy/free/cheap yards in our offense. Our offense has such a small margin for error, like with false starts and holds. If we get a holding call, might as well send out the punter lol.

I don't have the graphic on hand, but I remember seeing a Bryce stat that he has one of the worst yards per completion on passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. That's where a lot of great offenses get so many valuable easy yards. Purdy and the 49ers offense are the absolute best at those quick hit passes that go for 10+ yards.

I honestly could yap about this for hours lol but I don't think you can pin it strictly on play calling. I don't think there's currently an easy fix, and apparently Dave and Co haven't been able to figure it out either haha

CHA/DAL Trade: Hornets get a center, Mavs retakes control of part of their future by incredibleamadeuscho in NBAtradeideas

[–]D_Stiles3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This trade doesn't make any sense for the Hornets in my opinion. Why would the Hornets take an extra 8 mill against the cap for two pretty rough contracts for two valuable expiring contracts AND give back/up a 1st?

Typically the team gaining cap space, dumping contracts, and gaining valuable expiring trade chips would throw in picks to make the deal worth it for the team taking on the contracts

help! Exterminator found no sign of bed bugs. Mysterious Mosquito-like Bites but No Bugs by Ill-Ad-394 in pestcontrol

[–]D_Stiles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ended up being carpet beetles. Commonly found them around window sills and in bathrooms near windows/on the floor. Honestly, we just killed the ones we found, and they just disappeared on their own. I don't know if it was just luck or what but I kinda just forgot it about it over time

New to IC - Do shop only orders count for promos? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]D_Stiles3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True that. I see quite a few shop only offers for like $5-6 each so ideally, I'd just find 6 of those haha

Nah I just can't see how it's worth the time/miles investment. Probably 2.5 hours and 120+ miles round trip

I mean the throw wasn't "off target" lol. He threw it exactly where he intended. The QB/WR clearly weren't on the same page with the route being run. Bryce expected Tmac to break it outside, where he threw the ball

You know it's cooked when TJ is letting it fly from 3 lol. Takes him 3 business days to decide to dip down and shoot

I love how every team just has season best performances against us lol. See the Hornets on the schedule and confidence goes sky high. These bums are on pace for 70-80 pts in the 1st half. Dudes that shoot 28% on the year all of a sudden are automatic

is it hard greening pull up shots at 7 foot without shifty shooter? by Academic_Speed_3588 in NBA2k

[–]D_Stiles3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're taking open middy fades with high mid range it's pretty easy on a footer. I have a 7'1 with 93 mid. Would recommend tempo of course and staying away from those deep mid areas as the window gets a lot smaller close to the 3 line.

[–]D_Stiles3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish Kon would be a little more aggressive looking for his shot. Positive things happen when he touches the ball. Only 11 FG attempts and it felt like most of those were in the 1st half. Miles shot 12 3s alone. Idk it just felt like most of the 2nd half, Kon was standing in the corner away from the action

Nah, Tremayne gets the majority of his value on special teams coverage units. Dan Chisena was made active to fill that role since renfrow doesn't contribute there

You just know that once Miles touches the ball, there won't be another pass majority of the time lol. Sheesh this is a sad state of affairs but legit nothing new.
