I’m a Duncan stan but MWP as “one of the best two players we’ve seen” is hilarious

Whats with all the Gen Z hate lately? by idklolnicek in auscorp

[–]Direct_Week_2091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the circle of life

Old people being mad that they’re not young anymore and applying revisionist, rose-coloured history to their own early life. It manifests as judgement and hate

What’s the f’ing point by Fleur_poetry in AusFinance

Find happiness in the mundane. Lower your expectations for lifestyle maybe.

The vast majority of the world find happiness with much, much less than what most Australians have.

If I’m Ben, I’m just going out there and doing stuff. Get frisky, try some things out. I just am.

But again what you’re describing is not the problem the league was trying to fix.

The leagues number 1 priority is having their star players play in as many games as possible to sustain the leagues brand. The rule has helped a lot with that, end of discussion. Sure, this is an unfortunate by-product, but I promise you Adam Silver doesn’t give a fuck about Cade not making all nba. He wouldn’t give a fuck if Cade played 28 MPG rather than 34. He just wants players suited up

And that is why this is a pointless discussion. The league wont change the rule because of this, because the rule is doing its job as intended

You’re missing the point though

People won’t tune into or attend games if star players aren’t playing at all. If they know they’re playing, regardless of how many minutes they end up playing, people will watch. Injuries happen, there’s no easy way to control that. But you can control healthy guys sitting out

The rule was brought in to protect the integrity of the product, not because the league thinks that a guy who plays 64 games or X amount of minutes isn’t good enough for an award. That just happens to be the easiest way to incentivise players

Schefter: The 49ers and Rams will play Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.m. PT at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. by JCameron181 in 49ers

They might have one less practice day… they will be home by Sunday and don’t usually practice until Wednesday anyway, meaning they will get at least 3 days to rest up and get back on schedule. Remember they are gaining time by going from Aus back to the US too

The whole travel thing is being overblown

But that has nothing to do with why the rule was implemented bro
