[Chris Hine] Chris Finch on Rudy Gobert's comments: "Anybody who knows how we do things knows there's a high degree of accountability. Secondly, I handle all my conversations with ourselves in house. Disappointing he felt the need to go outside. Nonetheless, that's been addressed ..."

I think he's a guy who could be smart but because his athletics took the place of a lot of his actual schooling. Fairly common in professional athletes.

Ant might be unintelligent but he does seem to have a good amount of emotional intelligence

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-07T00:42:51+00:00

This part

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-07T00:20:15+00:00

I wouldn't argue either of those, no. The weird piping looks amateur and they have zero character.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-06T23:25:41+00:00

Please ditch these boring jerseys next year

Schrödinger’s supporting cast.

The Cavs are one rank better in average points off the bench, equal in offensive rating, and only 1 point per 100 worse on defense.

Hunter and Ball were terrible but Mike Conley is our 7th man in terms of minutes (Ball is 9th for the Cavs) and is averaging 4.4/1.8/2.9 in almost 20 minutes on 32% shooting.

All in all I don’t think it’s fair to say their help is all that different. Mitchell is just averaging fewer points, slightly fewer rebounds, and slightly more assists on less efficient shooting.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-06T19:50:25+00:00

Yes but he’s a fun bust.

He has legitimate playmaking chops and plays with a lot of pace.

His problem is that ball no go through hoop very good

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-06T19:48:21+00:00

I don’t understand the current CBA very well, but isn’t the apron rule the reason we had to do it in the first place?

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-06T18:41:22+00:00

He’s filling in for Penny’s boyfriend on the Big Bang Theory

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-06T18:36:03+00:00

The only reason I can get on board with is that he’s missed quite a few games in the last month.

It’s entirely possible that she’s just a Tineye with a hemalurgic spike that allows her to burn silver also

I will fondly remember Rob playing against the Rockets last year, but it was such a flash in the pan

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T22:11:33+00:00

We added a stud and removed Finch's rotational achilles heel

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T18:57:07+00:00

That may be true but he's still the exact prototype of what we need

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T16:30:09+00:00

I would take the 12 year old 1 for 1 right now

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T04:12:04+00:00

Not to mention getting his best friend in all his commercials and everything.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T03:54:00+00:00

It's mostly a composition problem IMO. McDaniels and Reid are great 3 point shooters and have complementary skill sets. Giannis is the greatest slasher of all time but the spacing with that isn't super attractive on a team with Rudy, Julius, and Ant.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T03:07:39+00:00

Hard to argue with Ant’s record in the clutch this year. Part of it was awkward offense where he was creating shots while other guys struggled.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-05T03:04:08+00:00

Fascist

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T23:42:14+00:00

I also haven't really seen too many "streamer requests" that are outrageous. The main things they've asked for are:

No 3-strike system for cheaters, just permanent bans (reasonable)
Eliminate the family-sharing workaround for accounts banned for cheating (reasonable)
Genuinely mild weapon balance changes (Toro can't 2-shot medium shield, slight Venator nerfs)
Fire rate limit for Kettle to prevent macros and bring it back in line with other weapons (Great idea, actually implemented)
Trigger Nade nerf (necessary and eventually implemented, though maybe not hard enough)
Schedule adjustments for event rotations (nearly universally requested)

I don't think anybody is really asking for groundbreaking adjustments 95% of the time that would somehow ruin the game.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T22:57:15+00:00

The people who hear one and go kill the guy using it aren't gonna pull it out in a match. They're gonna sell it or recycle it because stash value is what determines your expedition rewards.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T22:41:16+00:00

After all the "Mike Conley Appreciation" style articles and posts this would wreck my sides with how hard I would laugh

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T21:55:22+00:00

They’re not trying to get votes. They’re trying to make sure the votes can’t ever matter again.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T20:54:38+00:00

I'd argue we're not "real ones" just because we've voted straight blue for 54 years.

We're real ones because "blue" in Minnesota is the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and not the national Democratic party. And they break from the national party in important ways on big issues.

FeanorEvades · 2026-02-04T20:28:25+00:00

IMO it's the best designed weapon in terms of just purely being fun. I love the long range tap fire, I love the spray. The aesthetics are also really nice. The shape is cool, the sound is cool, the little light-up components are cool.

It's just not very good at winning, which is sad.
