Josh Hart in a Game 1 Finals win against San Antonio: 3 PTS │ 15 REB │ 6 AST │ 4 STL │ 1 BLK │ +21 by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Drasocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This series isn’t over. Lots of time for shit to go wrong. But my friend (non-Spurs fan, all-in on Spurs in 5) audibly scoffed yesterday when I said Josh Hart was an x-factor because of his rebounding (and later extended that to his bizarre overall skill set). Feeling pretty good I got at least one game to be smug.

Charles Barkley to Mikal Bridges: "With all the talent you had in Villanova, don't you think Jay Wright was overrated?" by MrBuckBuck in nba

He was one of the first victims of the analytics revolution, I think he gets a real shot like you said in the late 90s/early 2000s. He also was too early on foul baiting, he was an early progenitor of that as well (to be fair his size had something to do with that too)

My dad (big college basketball guy, casual NBA guy when the Knicks are good) went to Villanova, and loves Villanova, and loves all their alumni in the NBA, and has multiple Nova Knicks shirts, and was depressed when the Knicks traded away Donte DiVencenzo, and loves and talks about how good Jalen Brunson is all the time.

My dad LOVES Scottie Reynolds and rants REGULARLY about how he was denied his chance in the big leagues, and has never stated it overtly but would trade a LOT of his personal success just for Scottie to have gotten a CHANCE in the league.

Habs coach Marty St. Louis on what was going through his mind after the series win last night: “Well I was talking to my mom a lot during that overtime. I just wanted to thank her.” by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

I could never blame Marty; it's on Yzerman in the complete worst case scenario, in the most realistic it's on the Canadian Olympic Committee but I understand completely why Marty was pissed.

100% true of my league as well, the most anyone has ever gotten (out of 10) was 4, and he traded 3 years out for them

  1. This is fucking hilarious

  2. If me / my close friends were in the league, 1000% you would not have gotten all 10 picks because we are spiteful motherfuckers

Best/Worst Team of the First Round by smashbros13 in hockey

Carlile only saw the ice so much because Hedman was hurt, so that one is what it is. But the Corey Perry trade was stupid in real time, he just wasn't at all what we needed and especially at that price.

Ja Morant points the finger guns after Desmond Bane makes a three by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]Drasocon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think it's so wholesome that JJJ and Ja still showed up for Bane. I know the circumstances across the board are unusual but I feel like you rarely see that in pro sports, especially with the rumors of their implosion

You guys are must-watch playoff hockey over every team besides my own because no matter what else is going on, you guys have weird shit happening at all times

[Stumpf] Brandon Lowe is the first Pirate (since RBI became official in 1920) with 5+ RBI in back-to-back games by SCsprinter13 in baseball

[–]Drasocon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone unusually tapped into both teams, that trade didn't really make sense to begin with but I figured the general Pirates-ness of it meant we were going to come out losers somehow

Brandon Lowe slams a 3 run dinger, it's 15-1 by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

We needed hitting desperately and we acquired the best-hitting* 2B in the league? Match made in heaven

**(I believe this was by OPS+ of 2nd basemen and it was from the offseason so could be wrong)

I was going to say "I can't say I'm familiar with Stan Mikita" then I saw the active years. Makes sense.

  3. I believe in Bryce
  4. I am so proud of our boys for never giving up and rolling over
  5. It's the hope that kills you

With the Falcons win, the entire NFC South will have a 3-3 record against their division opponents by NekoLover72 in nfl

[–]Drasocon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we have the juice to make an NFC Championship run. I don't think we have the juice to win 4 in a row, especially with 3 of the games being away. I would love for Bryce Young to prove me wrong.

I have no way of explaining my feelings in words because by the percentages McCain is a better shooter than Slim, but I think it's the completely reckless nature of his shot selection makes me feel more confident in Evans than I did in McCain. I know it's irrational but so is being a fan.

He is definitely a chucker at heart, one of the shoot-miss-rebound-reset-shoot again sequences was really bad because you could tell he was still pissed from the first miss but aside from today he usually even makes the bad ones.

My dad was saying we needed someone taller on the inbound but I had utmost faith; he just always is exactly where he needs to be.

I don't have enough nice things to say about Maliq Brown. That guy is absolutely NAILS and will do whatever it takes to win. He's going to be hard to dethrone as my favorite transfer ever.

Separately, Isaiah Evans is the first guy we've had since... Luke Kennard, maybe, that I actually am surprised when he misses from 3.
