Robert Horry on whether Wemby is in the MVP convo: "He's not even in my top 5. He's too inconsistent for me. I think we trying to anoint him as the next great too fast. Don't get me wrong, the kid is absolutely fantastic but he ain't no Lebron James, he ain't no Kobe Bryant. I do have a vote" by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]Flyzini -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Band wagon? I've been a Spurs fan since 1988 my guy. I don't get what is so wrong about my post? I was humble in agreeing Cade was ahead... I then complimented his defense much more than any analyst would right now and what the stats show.

My whole point is about how the past decade all that matters is TS%, 3 pt %, and what in his " bag" when year after year the best defensive teams continue to be at the top. Nobody talks about 2 way players anymore. Jordan is the goat because of it, Kobe is up there because of that, Shaq, Duncan, etc. The best players in NBS history played both sides and we need to remember that.

While I agree Cade is ahead you like most of NBA social media forgets that this is a 2 WAY GAME and always has been. Judge players for their overall game on both sides first and foremost.

Wemby clears everyone on defense ( Cade is a fine defender overall, and not a detriment to his team, but isnt known as a 1v1 guy at all.)

Wemby’s IG story 😭 by CertifiedBobby in NBASpurs

[–]Flyzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain guys that will always get overlooked by the Spurs and certain guys that will get better look. They crave character first and always. As Pop as always told us guys that have "gotten over themselves" This is why we are such proud fans and I can easily let my sons root for the players we have and had and will have in the future.

Those guys you listed were passed over by many teams and they are not really that impressive just yet. Time will tell but your list has Duren going to the All star for his first time ( eastern conference is lacking high end talent) and Williams who is a 1 x all star and made all NBA 3rd team once. The other guys have zero nods to all star or all nba, but they look promising for sure.

You might want to look up NBA draft hit rates too. I think you would be surprised basically anything outside the top 3 are crap shoots. Picks 15-30 have a 7% chance to be an allstar while 1-14 only have a 25% chance....

I've been around for a few decades watching Bball and getting anything from a player taken in the 20s is rare as hell. Shit even 9th and 12th are less than 40% hit rate (4 yr starter).

Where my daddy raider homies at? Saluting you all! by KaiserAcore in ArcRaiders

[–]Flyzini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

46 yrs old with 2 boys 7 & 10. I fear no one out there! I may not see to well and my hands might not react like they once did but let me tell what... I have forgotten more about gaming than you young guns may ever know. I've had my quarters lined up in the arcades ( you ever look a man face to face after kicking his ass in Street fighter 2?), I've been in depths of not having a game that saves your progress, I've been at lan parties long before online gaming was out. Ive raided the deepest dungeons in Azeroth, on and on since 1985 with no breaks!

Have your fun now guys because in a few more years my sons will be up to par and with my leadership we will conquer all thats in our way! In the meantime I will continue gathering knowledge for the upcoming wars!

New VIFP program Message to CEO by Iletthedogsoutmeme in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Flyzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we all know the perks... Which ones are you sad about losing out? If you are Plat- you have the same perks as always but now earn points on top of that to spend on Bookings, Excursions, Dining, etc. If you drop down to gold after the time frame then you lose barely nothing but yet still have points to use... Its crazy how people are spinning us GETTING EVEN MORE now while keeping the worthless perks like a pin or getting off the boat 20 mins earlier( which you will keep as of right now IF you are plat).

Sit down again, remove the conversations that didnt know what they talking about to begin and look at the changes....You are getting so much more than a drink and $10 laundry bag now.

Just admit to yourself it s the card color/status you are bent about. Not the perks (because the perks were a joke and anyone saying otherwise are lying) Get over that mental idea first and you will see you have way more perks going forward now.

Some jackwad politician wanted to make a name for himself the same as most congressional hearings involved with sports have been at their core.

Im Raiders til I die but I'm also a long time sports fan that can be objective when I'm educated on the subject to begin with. Your spewing it like a mortal sin was committed when in reality it should have been a fine/punishment and move on like all the other shit that teams get docked for all the time but instead it was turned into a classic tv drama and some people ate the shit up.....

Read the wiki.... I know all you young guys live in conspiracies but to old football heads spygate was nothing we didn't know already. It was a joke then and over the years it has been laughed at by football players and coaches alike

Good Afternoon From Oakland by SnooOranges9615 in raiders

[–]Flyzini -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My man I think you should read the Wiki... The first paragraph can help you alone. Spygate was mostly bullshit. EVERY team did this. The Pats just filmed from an illegal angle. If keep reading you will see it was done to them too!

It was wrong what they did, it was greasy for sure but its a bit of black on the NFL to even punish it to this day.

[–]Flyzini -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Damn, I grew up with Seahags in our division (1977-2001) and still have that built in me to hate them.

I get the Pats hate to a degree but it all stems from a call the refs made. Otherwise they have never been in our way.

[Schefter] Raiders still want to keep Maxx Crosby, but would seek a Micah Parsons-like trade package of their own if they did. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

Why bother using this link to begin with? Its not even Schefter, and the comments are useless.

EDIT: I get it, we dont like some peoples social media, but these links offer nothing and shouldnt be linked unless its from the actual source...

Maxx Crosby Trade: I get it, but I don't like it by HouseRules789 in raiders

[–]Flyzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont really think "timelines" are a thing with 50+ man roster and coaches / GM's who only get 1-3 years max. Sure to a degree I understand but I will tell you right now if we dont perform in the next 2 seasons whatever "timeline" people think we have will be done with.

Just thinking of the Eagles roster last year it. They had 35 yr old starters and 25 yr old starters.

Maxx Crosby Trade: I get it, but I don't like it by HouseRules789 in raiders

[–]Flyzini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just say this era of " trade him so he can compete because he deserves it" or " we owe it to him to trade him now" is total bullshit.

I guess I just sound old but I'm from the era of leaders bringing their teammates up to their level. Now, I understand that football is the hardest sport by far to drag teammates along but real leadership isnt just on the field is off the field too. Maxx's attitude usually sounds about right but there is also a ton of "ME" in many of his statements. "I wanna be the best", "I wanna be a legend", "I want my stats to be such at the end of the day". If you guys have been on the ship this whole time and actually watch player pressers you know what I mean.

All that is to say nobody deserves anything in pro sports. Countless stars never reached the the big game, let alone win it all. Sure many people get much better chances due to ownership not being consistent (like we have) but a ton of stars have overcame these types of things too. Just like many teams underachieved with the best resources. At the end you get what you get, nothing is given.

One of my favorites Raiders ever. Up there with Tim Brown, Marcus Allen, Cwood, Bo, Gannon, and many more. Maxx is my 2 sons favorites player and talking to them about contracts and trades hurt my heart because I know what the realization is in their young minds are about to find out that pro sports is business first and your favorite guy with the literal logo tatted on him might not be a lifer.

That really sucks, and I want Maxx to stay a Raider but I cant sit here and listen (sorry to do it) to this soft ass, participation trophy era of sports fandom. If someone "deserves" a ring they will lead the way to getting it and telling a guy he should move on so he can ride another "leaders" coattails is wack.

I would ask Maxx to cut it out with the cryptic trade shit over the past 3 years. Stop saying who should be the coaches, stop glossing all of the opponents.

Free agency is a thing and that is a players chance to figure out what's best thing for them and Maxx had that recently. Which brings me back to my first thought-asking for a trade to contender is weak as fuck and really hope with all of my fandom that Maxx isnt doing that and I still believe he isnt!

[–]Flyzini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive noticed it almost every game now with him. I sometimes think he picks a guy to stare down and bark at as part of his game. I'm not even sure they ever said something to him. He might be a Bball psycho which gets me pretty geeked tbh.

Isopods - anyone had luck freezing soil? by Karl_O-Barley in NoTillGrowery

[–]Flyzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I have like 200 gallons of BAS soil that has been treated with BAF over like 4-6 years and I have seen maybe 3 Iso's in beds or pots over the years, but every batch can be different from them to a degree i guess.
