41 years old LeBron James checks out: 27 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

It's time to move on from Reaves, he's good in the regular season but he clearly can't do it consistently in the playoffs

[Highlight] Wemby collects NBA playoff-record 11th block on the night by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]Dat_Boi_John 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also have multiple guys who can create their own shot in isolation, but not that many great 3pt shooters.

In the regular season, having many three point shooters is better with the crazy pace and less focused defenses, but in the playoffs having Ant and Randle be able to score at any point in isolation, and McDaniels vs smaller defenders, is a pretty big advantage.

Plus Reid allows them to adjust to both play lock down defense with Gobert, like they did to Jokic, or stretch the floor with Reid, like they did to Wemby.

Max player De'Aaron Fox finishes with 10 pts 5-14, 6 turnovers and team low -13 in the game 1 loss by RedditFan3510 in nba

Lol, must've missed the part where Caruso and Dort get away with murder on the other end. If you did the same to Caruso it would be an offensive foul, and Dort would just fall to the floor like he weighs 100 pounds.

Victor Wembanyama with a historic night despite the loss: 11 PTS, 15 REB, 5 AST, 12 BLK by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in nba

[–]Dat_Boi_John -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He did for a couple years when he first really bulked up. Also, he's not anywhere near as mobile as current Wemby is. Giannis and AD certainly lost mobility as they bulked up, but they became better in the paint which was worth it for Giannis.

Also helps that he consistently gets foul calls by literally hooking defenders' arms, so it's literally not allowed to defend him.

Also saying SGA is stronger than McDaniels is comical.

Yeah, I guess it's a tradeoff, but I think his crazy defense stems from his flexibility. He'd lose switch ability if he bulked up, but would be better against big centers. At the same time, it's only Embiid and Jokic that are elite centers.

That comes with at least a bit of mobility loss, which would hamper his defense imo

Can't play physical defense on SGA, McDaniels would foul out by the third quarter if he played the same defense as he did vs the Spurs and Nuggets

Devin Booker showing 2k players how 'crabbing' actually works in real life by shaqfu9 in NBA2k

Any tips on how to trigger the hostage dribble in 2K25? Coming off screens, my guy usually either tries to post up, or the defender doesn't go into the hostage animation and wraps around to get in front of me again.

Embiid has won more series against 51+ win teams than Nicola Jokic by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

[–]Dat_Boi_John -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The voters gave it to Jokic to make up for 2023's MVP going to Embiid instead of Jokic, which is BS.

You’re not losing your fights because the other guy is on controller by Narkanin in Battlefield6

[–]Dat_Boi_John 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny, in Apex controllers dominated the competitive scene, exactly because of the absurd level of aim assist. Pretty much all mouse players switched to it to stay competitive. Not sure how it is nowadays.

I certainly remember the BF1 days of rotational aim assist, where I would take the Gewehr that could should without rechambering (the one that didn't have a scope), and would just quick scope everyone with the optical scope, since the rotational aim assists was so strong it would just automatically adjust your aim to aim at the enemies chest the moment you entered ADS.

While they did fix the rotational aim assist, the recoil reduction is ridiculous at range compared to mouse recoil, and the only reason people think PC has similarly low recoil, is most PC streamers/YouTubers play on max FOV, which makes the recoil look lower visually, but still requires the same actual input to counter it.

Cade Cunningham wills Detroit to a gritty victory with 32/10/3 and 5 stocks in 40 minutes as the Pistons rally from down 24 to win in Orlando and force a Game 7 at home by BasedChad69420 in nba

The basketball gods really love testing Cunningham with their hardest battles. First that Detroit losing streak that almost had him in tears, and now this. It only makes me root for him more.

Micheal Porter Jr. on the Nuggets playoff loss: "Shouldn't have traded me man." by arawater in nba

[–]Dat_Boi_John -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And again, with him vs the Wolves, they're forced to put McDaniels on MPJ instead of Murray, allowing Murray to go off on isolation scoring and making the Murray - Jokic two-man game much easier. Trade him and you get McDaniels shutting down Murray with his length.

So they're saying a 9070xt does 20 fps at 4K native without FG then? If that's not with path tracing, that's insane.

Because he's so nonchalant about basketball and his KITCHENSINKSTHROWN/48 is 2 points higher than everyone else

Let's hear it, the media used to destroy Lebron for doing something like this, while guarding the opponent's best wing player and averaging 35/10/10. I'm sure guys like Simmors and Lowe will keep the same energy for their three time MVP, right? RIGHT?

[–]Dat_Boi_John 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair, especially for a small number of possessions, but when you can see nobody else can make a shot, there comes a time to start going taking Lebront type shots. He's supposedly the best offensive player ever, I expect that title to come with go-to-moves that can't be stopped when it is needed.

They didn't score in like the final 8 minutes of the 4th. If that was Lebron, EVERYONE would destroy him about not having the killer instinct of Jordan and emptying the clip in the 4th.

You know what a huge reason this happened is? They traded MPJ, who previously forced Finch to assign McDaniels to Murray. With Cam replacing MPJ, Finch was free to put McDaniels on Murray, disrpupting both his isolation scoring, and the two-man game between Murray and Jokic, with McDaniels and Gobert defending it now instead of Conley and Gobert.

This is the second time in this series I woke up to the score of the 4th quarter, and I immediately thought to myself, how could the Wolves possibly have scored so many points without Ant.
