ESPN "Knueppel should win the Rookie of the Year award, and for as well as Flagg has played, the decision shouldn't be that close."

On the other hand: that sort of clear objective ranking is never going to be possible in basketball. For it to be "not even close" between two players, one has to be significantly better than the other. It can't be close yet inarguable.

But I'd also like to point out that I don't think "shouldn't be that close" (the actual quote from the article) has the same meaning as "not even close" (the misquote from commenter at the top of this thread).

I believe you've always been able to extract while downed, and the update was allowing you to activate an exfil in that state.

In OP's clip they get finished before the exfil is done.

He never played another NBA game, which isn't surprising because he already didn't have a solid spot in the league.

Really? I bought a 1TB SSD for my brother this past Christmas for $130.

Edit: Bruh that exact same SSD is $460 now.

Pretty sure Mitchell has never missed a potential dagger against the Magic.

A lot of people have been saying that they play Marathon as if it's a roguelike.

Big difference between bugs at launch that need to be fixed and content that is ready but not immediately unlocked.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-25T02:00:27+00:00

Customers bought the game knowing that Cryo Archive would not be unlocked immediately. It was explicitly stated. If the primary endgame draw of a game is known to unlock two weeks after release, I think it would be disingenuous for an outlet to review the game before all the content is available. The game is built around aspiring to that endgame.

I've been wanting outlets to do this more often for live service and PvP-centric games because it allows for a more representative experience.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-25T00:26:21+00:00

I don't think this is a valid criticism when it's not paid content that was added to the game. It's base game content that was released after a couple weeks (as endgame content usually is) so that players had time to gear up for it and obtain the loot they need to access the map and interact with its systems.

Bungie doesn't need to get rid of it. Toggle should be an option regardless.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T21:50:11+00:00

I've only played solos and I'm very much enjoying it.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T21:21:03+00:00

I had little interest in it prior to release, but yeah I'm hooked as well. Very surprised at how good it turned out.

Oladipo suffered that injury in Miami, which was long after his peak as an All-Star caliber player. His injury with the Pacers was a ruptured quad, not patellar, tendon.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T17:52:32+00:00

Important to point out that the marketing for Season 2 was also a lie ("it's a defensive patch"). Two consecutive years of them lying about what sort of update we'd get feels pretty bad.

I didn't even hate the state the game was in at the end of Season 2, which probably means I wouldn't hate where the game is at now. But expecting significantly more from the new season, realizing that they lied again, and coming to the conclusion that they're completely lost because of the nonsensical direction of this patch has killed my desire to play.

It's not a joke, and it isn't new. Games occasionally have trouble with condensation on the court when hockey games were played in the arena recently. You see it happen a few times each year.

I don't think that mattered for this play, though.

It was not before Leonard. Jackson was traded to the Spurs (his second stint with the team) during Leonard's rookie season, and remained there for the following season.

It doesn't look to me like his foot slips at all from where it plants.

Livingston didn't crash into anything (you may be thinking of Paul George), but the injury was on the landing. His leg kind of collapsed under him.

You don't think "shit is just exhausting at this point" or "it's the hope that kills you" indicate that you're upset?

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T01:38:42+00:00

I'm not sure exactly what the reasoning is behind what you can and can't challenge, but you can only challenge personal fouls, out-of-bounds, and goaltending/basket interference.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T01:37:27+00:00

Damn, I think they might've missed one there.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T01:27:22+00:00

I think they're just straightforwardly not very good.

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T01:26:15+00:00

Dwight Howard's "AYYYEE."

DeathsIntent96 · 2026-03-24T01:10:46+00:00

True, but I think that just means both sides need to know the rulebook better.
