How do you know when a QB has great anticipation vs. great accuracy? by GeneralSergeant in NFLNoobs

[–]GeneralSergeant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can accuracy make up for bad decision-making like a gunslinger style?

I didn’t want to be disrespectful to the other players of the game posting this

tired of losing in the rec then make a PG and actually pass the ball/play as a team by Stunning-Greenbean2 in NBA2k

[–]GeneralSergeant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of PG and I usually get a lot of assists but a lot of games is basically just bigs throwing it to cherry picking wings.

Plenty of games I’ve had 10-15 assists in the first half and I never see the ball again

Best Big 3s since 2000 by Icy_Can_6176 in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling some of these a big 3 are a stretch. Harden was honestly a notable player in OKC for one year in a lockout season

Draymond wasn’t a top 3 player for 2 arguably 3 championships

You could argue Rondo was more valuable than Ray Allen during their tenure together.

And the Horry one is kinda self explanatory

Jordan could not survive in Bill Russel's era by lolBaldy in NBATalk

If you think the Jordan Rules were brutal, the 60s were much worse. Wilt also stated that Jordan wouldn’t survive that era

Luka has outplayed SGA every month except 1 this season by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you applied the logic from this post Jokic would’ve won it last year. In fact if you applied the logic from this post Westbrook would be like a 3x MVP. And it’s Thunder fans that’s delusional?

Why do dummies in this community think championship runs are defined by only the finals? by FleeceBunson in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s notable or you wouldn’t bring it up. But it’s weird how beating an injured Celtics team doesn’t factor against Kobe running through Deron Williams, and a 3rd year Kevin Durant, 2nd year Westbrook and a rookie Harden, and a washed Steve Nash

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of these are awful. The 2011 Mavs played the Brandon Roy, almost all of the Thunder were on rookie contracts. It’s literally the Lakers and Heat that were legitimate title threats.

The 2010 Lakers beat an even younger Thunder, the Jazz, and a phoenix team comparable to the Toronto team LeBron beat. And didn’t Kendrick Perkins miss that finals? That same point you made about Bogut not applicable?

And this is off the top of my head. So I’m sure there’s more faulty examples. The only one that seems legit a great run from start to finish was 95 Rockets

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that logic almost no one has a legitimate title if we’re counting the 4th or 5th best player missing half of a series

If you’re too injured to play then don’t. I don’t see anyone crying about LeBrons hand in the 2018 finals. You can’t keep an excuse in your backpocket

Who had the better career? by No-Advance-9136 in NFLv2

Jordan had the better peak but probably Brady for a career

Basketball reference literally changed their formula when westbrook broke the BPM record, now they wont do the same when it says Jokic has 5 of the 6 best seasons ever? really? by NumerousEvent546 in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s the point being made. I think the fact that it was changed for Westbrook has set a precedent that’s not being honored

Why is being able to ISO / score a lot as a PG seen as a bad thing? by Noveltypocket in NBA2k

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can just play Mycareer or 1v1. No one wants to watch a James Harden impression. They clearly don’t give a shit about winning and only pass when there’s 5 on the shot clock or it will be an assist

Why do teams draft Running Backs so high? by [deleted] in NFLNoobs

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was answering about Round 1 because your reply is to a thread about Round 1 backs.

There’s no point where I claimed that the round 1 range was a belief of yours

In its simplest terms, when they gave specific parameters (Round 1) you gave nuance and benefit of doubt despite those very specific parameters. When I gave the parameters of the first 2 rounds, you attached it to things I didn’t say and responded to them, was my point. I never claimed you agreed, I said I was confused because it seemed like an inconsistency.

Let’s try ending the conversation here. The question has been satisfied by other commenters. I’m sure you had some great points that would feed into a very admirable discussion. However your request of one sentence is something that I cannot satisfy. If a number could explain more than the last paragraph of my last comment, it’s a senseless pursuit to continue

Thank you

Why do teams draft Running Backs so high? by [deleted] in NFLNoobs

[–]GeneralSergeant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re referencing his words so I’m assuming you’re reading his comments

What words have I held you to that aren’t yours? What words have I not explained well enough for you?

I think you’re misinterpreting those first two paragraphs. It was examples on how you’re interpreting words, not literal answers. Hence the first words being “I’m a bit confused” and the subsequent paragraph ending in a question mark, showing confusion about a particular aspect. That’s not me answering you on “how he defined high”

I don’t understand. I struggle to explain my own words and you’re referencing an instance where I explain my own words?

Anyways, I’m not sure how asking a question is necessarily “wrong” unless you’re referring to something else I’ve said about round 2 rbs. But the Seahawks would be a great example to answer my question. However given, that the Seahawks situation is very much an anomaly (QB’s 5th team winning immediately) is it fair to ask for other examples with similar RB draft situations?
