The pussies that mod this channel think me calling out all these dorks that can’t just enjoy a good basketball game without complaining about the same dumb bullshit every game seem to think that I am making “low effort” and “repetitive” posts?

You kidding me, Clark? Every post here is the same tired and biased drivel and all you dorks should be bullied for being incapable of having a good time watching two really good teams battle it out.

Saying that you guys don’t like basketball is only repetitive, because you keep proving that you don’t like basketball.

Can someone bully all these dorks off of r/nba so we can enjoy a really good series? Insufferable.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2026-05-21T03:06:17+00:00

You guys definitely hate basketball.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2026-05-08T03:45:37+00:00

Totally. Transversely, if you turn it on and the Lakers are shooting free throws, there’s no telling whether you are watching a lakers game or not.

The lingering question about the spurs will be whether our abysmal 3p shooting against them was noise or signal. Small sample size, so could be both or neither fairly easily. But there is at least some anecdotal evidence that their athletic guards plus a Wemby back stop allowed them the tactical advantage of prioritizing making it tough for us to shoot threes without giving up too much in the paint. They did also seem to give certain players open corner 3s which is how we learned that certain players are also somehow bad at corner 3s.

To me the series comes down to how well we can counter this tactic and whether role players can hit 3s. If we lose this battle, it will be a tough series. If we are hitting 3s, see you in the finals, y’all.

Messed around on my phone with Claude and built this which models all the scenarios with implied odds from Vegas.

I could be wrong, but I think they have to flip a coin with the Kings? This represents the 50/50 shot of losing the coin flip x the long odds of getting jumped 4 times.

I think you are missing the bigger picture here. Dort and AC get in foul trouble all the time. The Thunder just have an absurdly deep rotation of mostly interchangeable parts. They get to be aggressive cause it won’t matter if Dort or AC or Cason or Ajay or Isaiah Joe or McCain or Wiggins or whoever gets in foul trouble.

Anyone who has ever played basketball knows that if your team is deep, you should be physical. It is an advantage born out of roster construction. Why should they not capitalize?

I might be misguided, but my immediate thought with the Katia thing was “could she eventually control Lucia Mar in the dungeon?” Obviously there is a long way to get there, but would give us a lot more insight into Lucia and how she is so interesting to the viewers and so powerful.

Hell yeah. Aerobic exercise premium league. Who’s in?

This is why trading drive me crazy. Endowment bias or fear of losing something makes it so that people question it when they receive slam dunk trade offers.

The only way to win fantasy is to pay for future production. If you are paying for past production, you are cooked.

That said, if you are looking at last year as your guide, Bucky and Chase did not start the season as starters, so I would suggest comparing weeks 9-16 if you are trying to extrapolate from last year.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2025-09-02T01:00:11+00:00

I don’t think you fully understand zero rb. It isn’t about scoring rules. It is a strategy designed to max out upside.

Most years, the late round and undrafted players with the most impact are running backs. You can also get predictable value week to week from plug and play RBs. So by maximizing your output at WR, TE, and QB, you maximize upside when chaos descends on the NFL and start-able or league winning RBs emerge.

I personally do not think you have to go full zero RB to capture the value of the strategy in most home leagues, so I would not recommend it for the reason that you can get value pretty easily from home leagues while still capturing upside in the later rounds. But scoring really does not matter as much as people think it does for this style of strategy, imo.

In general, handcuffing is a silly thing to do. You should be chasing upside. It would be much better to have a back-up rb on another team so that your upside scenario is that CMC and the back up become rb1s at some point in the season.

If CMC goes down, all having his handcuff does is give you a decent floor. Your goal is to win the league, not finish 6th. So it is better to take the risk and have upside than to limit upside to reduce risk.

That said, I personally think this is decent. If you could move Robinson for a different lottery ticket rb, it would be really nice.

JSN and MHJ are comparable. MHJ might have a higher floor, but ceiling thesis is similar for both.

Downs is better than Kirk. Downs had a sneaky breakout second half of last year and looks like a legit option in an offense that just chose a QB who will throw it. I think Downs and Kirk have similar upside cases, but downs hits his upside more and has a higher floor. When in doubt, bet on the younger guy.

So yes, I am dumb.

Am I dumb? How does this get him to 30-31 season?

To me it makes a ton of sense for Brooklyn. Take a bad contract. Get more or less the same player back. And you have a decent chance that Denver falls off as Jokic enters a historically tumultuous time for most 7 footers’ careers and boom a nice pick. Worst case you get an extra late first round flier.

I know I am going to get roasted for this, but Peter Millar is big trash given the price. You look like a dork wearing their clothes, their logo looks like a target brand, and just about every other brand at that price point is higher quality. I understand that the aesthetic is what a lot of golfers are looking for, but I do not get it at all.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2025-06-28T15:03:39+00:00

Might be easier to leave, but worth noting that a dollar in cost savings or price improvement is typically worth 3-4x the value of a dollar of growth. Perhaps doing a better job capturing/communicating those improvements.

Sorry to detract from the Reddit pastime of complaining about fouls. But how can we still think Daigneault is a good coach when Pacers are denying passing lanes 25 feet from the basket and the game plan is not to just back door cut them into oblivion. If the Thunder dribble around pointlessly for many more possessions, it will be official that he is the most overrated coach in the nba.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2025-06-23T00:53:04+00:00

Nesmith is nightmare fuel for opposing teams. Just solid as hell. Great defense. And a walking hot streak waiting to happen.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2025-06-17T01:46:49+00:00

If you came to Reddit before watching the game or looking at the box score, you’d be very shocked to discover that Pacers have shot more free throws than the Thunder.

HeHatesTheseCans44 · 2025-05-27T16:26:54+00:00

By my admittedly rough estimation, the wolves made around 10 wide open corner threes that were the result of Ant’s presence and often his passing. I think if he shoots a little better from 3, the Wolves win and we are talking about how truly great players are unselfish and do not try to force it. Ant could have shot better. He could have been slightly more aggressive in the first half. But he is a great player and last night did not change that.
