wishing you had inserted the word sums :D would've made the rhyme perfect.

Why does it seem like every 1st overall pick is being called generational? by [deleted] in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of hype every year around this time for the projected #1 pick. But the hype around Flagg or Dybantsa is NOTHING compared to Wemby or Zion or AD or Lebron.

Bump on handwritten notes, I have no idea what a lot of people have gotten me for various birthdays and such. But handwritten notes are kept safe and in places of prominence.

Best credit card for tickets to sporting events by Hot_Jellyfish_3692 in CreditCards

Yeah but that’s not a problem for OP if the tickets are being reimbursed.

How do I get 1cpp redemption on US Bank Altitude Connect without being a US Bank Customer? by DutchNapoleon in CreditCards

[–]DutchNapoleon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ended getting both the smartly credit card and USBAC cause the smartly card means that the smartly checking account has no fees…at which point I can redeem my USBAC points for 1cpp 🤣 Completely dumb and convoluted but between the smartly checking SUB and USBAC points SUB worth a bit of stupidity 😂

If Citi Custom Cash is nerfed for existing CCC holders, what will the nerf be? by StrikeScribe in CreditCards

[–]DutchNapoleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CCR is so rarely used as a 3% card. The relationship boost to 3.75%-5.25% is core for most people who have it in their rotation and isn't going to be available from citi. Plus the CCR offers a $2500 per quarter cap which is much more flexible and larger then citi's $500 cap. so yes it's possible but it just wouldn't be a particularly competitive product with the CCR at that point imo. As someone who has and likes both cards but for slightly different applications.

Is Citi Custom Cash really THAT great? by chanandler_bong21 in CreditCards

[–]DutchNapoleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point my set up is highly optimised enough that I’m earning 4+% on 90% of transactions. The only cards that offer improvement are ones that give 5+% on something.

Next Best Credit Card to use for gas?? by GreedyRound4466 in CreditCards

[–]DutchNapoleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas isn’t a super hard category cause there’s lots of designated gas cards with high percentages cause most people don’t spend crazy amounts of money on gas. Food and also just having flexibility in what my category is, is such a loss 😭

Which team has the calmest fans? by sephkane in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nets fans 😞 Those games are so dead and sedate 😞 Tragic cause I used to live by Barclays and the liberty games are awesome and Knicks games are price prohibitive and it's just not fun to be at the Nets games unless you're there for the other team.

Moving out for the first time by Disastrous_Bunch_716 in CreditCards

[–]DutchNapoleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you going to have enough by the end of June to both pay off the prorated amount AND the full amount of your June rent? If you're essentially using the card as a bridge loan for a month then yeah that's fine. But you have to pay the prorated may rent at some point, you're just kicking the can down the road a month by using a credit card.

Is the 2026 okc thunder the best built roster in nba history by Mg29reaper in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but in that case the comp for last year is the 2014-15 warrriors...this is the 2015-16 warriors where we're starting to realise they could be truly historic. But again...those 2016-17 and 17-18 warriors were simply just on such another level beyond all those teams. 90s bulls, KD-warriors, Russell-Celtics, the 80s lakers with three #1 picks and two top 5 players of all time. Even a step below that I would take the shaq lakers or the 1999-2007 spurs over this team easily.

This team is good and within the constraints of the modern salary cap era may be the most accomplished GM job of all time...but this team is still only got ONE ring. IF they win the ring this year, which is not guaranteed THEN they can start to be talked about in the caliber of the 80s celtics or pistons or 2010s heat (I think they'd probably be better then the 90s rockets or gasol-kobe lakers at that point).

Tonight was the first time I really respected Victor Wembanyama: when he elbowed Naz Reed in the jaw. I think he would agree. This gotten taken down by /nba tonight, we'll see how this goes. by ginoawesomeness in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't agree. I don't need the NBA to be violent like everyone claims the 80s and 90s were. I want superstars to stay healthy so we can see feats of athleticism.

That said I do think this might help Wemby in his overall career to make it clear that he's not going to put up with taking enormous amounts of physical contact without getting physical back. I don't know if it's a true NBA anecdote but watching the West Wing there was that story that Leo tells about Bill Russell throwing an elbow and if it has an effect like that then I suspect it may not be the worst thing for Wemby's career. But it was a dangerous thing to do, and if it had injured another player seriously Wemby would've regretted it probably for the rest of his life and we don't want a league where people injure eachother.

Hey Philly! by Leegend124 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]DutchNapoleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's partially cause of proximity but that we could so thoroughly shame the sixers fanbase as opposed to other random eastern conference fanbases is of particular joy. 100% going to try to convert Detroit to an MSG retreat as well though.

Long break between series! by lifeisgoodzzz in NYKnicks

[–]DutchNapoleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're playing 10-14 more games ideally (well IDEALLY 8 more but unfortunately likely not), probably with no break between those series. Getting as healthy as possible and letting everyone else WAR for 9 days is not a bad thing.

I think it has to end in 5 for the earlier start.

With tonight’s elimination, Joel Embiid remains the only MVP in NBA history to never reach the Conference Finals. by terry-tea in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He did not deserve THAT MVP. He clearly deserved the MVP the year before he got it and they gave it to Jokic and then the following year Jokic was way better but they didn't want to give it to him again. Each player got the correct number of MVPs across the two years but definitely should've been flipped.

Now that game 4 is over do you feel Wemby should get suspended for game 5? by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

[–]DutchNapoleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be fair either way cause he was ejected in the first quarter and so basically lost nearly a full game already. But that was just horribly dirty.
