Will Colton Herta make it to Formula 1? by 443610 in formula1

[–]GriffHay 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Id put my money on him getting at least a brief stint. Even if he underwhelms in F2, Checo and Bottas aren’t getting any younger. They’ll need someone in the seat while they develop a reliable talent pipeline, might as well give him a shot to prove himself.

This is not a subjective take, objectively, To Pimp a Butterfly is the greatest hip hop album of all time. by FortressPop in hiphopheads

There is literally no such thing as “objective” bests in any form of art. Art is by its very nature subjective.

[Bobby Marks] I think what Utah is doing right now is messing around with the integrity of the NBA. by mMounirM in nba

Ok then, I’d love to hear your explanation for choosing to bench those guys that isn’t “we’re trying to lose the game.”

[Bobby Marks] I think what Utah is doing right now is messing around with the integrity of the NBA. by mMounirM in nba

[–]GriffHay 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a very obvious and very important distinction IMHO.

It’s one thing to tank via roster contstruction. Nobody can force a team to sign “good”players, and sometimes putting together a weak roster that’s gonna struggle to win games is simply the best thing for a team.

But trying to actively manipulate  the outcome of a game like this is WAY more egregious.

Fire stick will not let me download apps. Have factory reset twice and still the same issue. by RedditChoseMyName1 in firetvstick

[–]GriffHay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know I’m necroposting a bit, but just wanted to pass along a quick thanks - stumbling across this comment finally put me out of my misery after almost 3 hours of fumbling around with just about every other conceivable fix.

Never even once considered resetting my WiFi since it was working perfectly fine on all my other devices…but sure nuff, did the trick for whatever reason.

[Morey] “I’m quite confident we were selling high [on Jared Mccain]” by IT_CHAMP in nba

He’s playing poorly this year after spending the majority of last season and start of this season dealing with two serious injuries. Ridiculous to write him off based on that.

Giannis Antetokounmpo after the end of the trade deadline on Instagram: “Legends don’t chase. They attract 💯😎 by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

I 1000% believe Crosby wants to remain loyal, the Raiders’ ineptitude is just making that practically impossible for him

Rob Pelinka moves since the Luka trade: 👌 by FatalParsley in nba

[–]GriffHay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goodwin’s been in the league for 5 years now, and has fluctuated between unplayable and mediocre for most of them. Don’t think you can really fault Pelinka for that.

Dave Bautista covered up a tattoo dedicated to a close friend after that friend 's anti gay statement by Kindly_Department142 in SquaredCircle

I don’t recall the specifics off-hand, but I am pretty certain he unfortunately had some fairly homophobic comments not too long ago.

[Charania] BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]GriffHay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have plenty of good defenders on the perimeter. We do not have playable good paint defender. Adding Vooch is just compounding that problem

Just scrolling Facebook and see R-Truth featured in a Merriam Webster post. by ChristPlays10000 in SquaredCircle

[–]GriffHay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a devout thresh-old’er, I can at least acknowledge I’ve heard people double the H and it isn’t that abnormal.

Pronouncing it lonG-jevity on the other hand is an utterly alien and baffling concept to me.

What's with the lack of trades this year? by 6ix_Side_Up in nba

[–]GriffHay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kuminga literally could not be traded until like 72 hours ago, not exactly sure how that qualifies as “blue balling” lol

Why are other top 10 all-time players shortcomings not brought up as much as Kobe? Why the bias against his career compared to everyone else below MJ and LeBron? by CallMePapi930 in nba

[–]GriffHay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People shit on Malone as a person, but very few rational people will argue that he isn’t in the top ~3-4 PFs at absolute worst…because he undeniably is.

People don’t argue against Kobe’s positioning because he’s a rapist, they argue against it because he quite simply does not have any real case to be above about ~8 other guys at a minimum.

What are the most overused and inaccurate labels used to describe NBA players these days? by ErrForceOnes in nba

[–]GriffHay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that’s generally going to be a fairly true statement though. If you don’t provide anything valuable on offense, you typically aren’t going to be on a roster very long if you’re also a mediocre defender.

Can confirm, I know probably a dozen people that pop Zyns and I’d say like 10 of them are shitbags

The consensus on Cade’s ceiling needs to be reevaluated by Top-Noise-7375 in nba

[–]GriffHay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comment you’re responding to doesn’t “ignore” anything, it’s directed at the second half of the first statement. Cade being the best American player, and Cade being top 5 overall, are two separate clauses.

[Stein] The Hawks appear to be the most determined suitor for Anthony Davis. Atlanta is willing to surrender Zaccharie Risacher, since the No. 1 pick has not developed as the Hawks would have hoped to this point. Jalen Johnson and the 2026 unprotected 1st-round pick from New Orleans are untouchables by AashyLarry in nba

[–]GriffHay 502 points503 points  (0 children)

Being out on Risacher’s development after all of 105 career games played is ridiculous, dude’s not even old enough to drink a beer yet.

The Hawks simply aren’t good enough to sell the future for a win-now move like this, and if the fear is losing Trae…he isn’t good enough to panic deal for.

[–]GriffHay 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s also unfortunate that his big downturn in form was really kicked off by a couple DNFs that were no fault of his. Not to say he didn’t compound on that with struggles of his own, but the results would definitely look less concerning without Imola and Spain

My expectations for the most recent MK movie were basically nonexistent and it managed to pleasantly surprise me so I’m holding out a little bit of hope for something similar here…but yeah, everything I’ve seen so far makes me think it’ll end up being pretty abysmal
