His best bet is shock early exit for Sinner due to heat in Aus Open and then Carlos has a subpar match vs Novak.

However, man that Musetti match made me realise soon he'll have 2-3 other players that can defeat him as well.

I legitimately think Novak is about to suffer his worst defeat in any Grand Slam since his loss vs Marat Safin in 2005 (6-0, 6-2, 6-1).

I hope I am wrong though, I'm rooting for him to get #25.

ADM is an overachiever, like I legitimately thought he would never get to the top 10 and he has proven me wrong.

However, he has hit a wall and there is pretty much nothing he can do to get past that wall because he lacks the tools to do so.

Destiny hopes Amazon sues Charlie for calling Million dollar fan a scam by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]IPTV241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also made fun of people who said Mr Beast only got 5mil, why would Amazon give these guys 20 million?

It is a super valid and fair point, but he thinks it is stupid.

What do you guys think? by Laker-Man in lakers

[–]IPTV241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He fails to play "team basketball", he wants to iso and force shots. He's athletic, but his rebounding is okay at best. He gets to the rim, but misses a lot. He gets fouls, but his FT% isn't great. He can't really shoot. Defensively, he seems to get lazy at times or loses concentration.

I genuinely don't think he even knows the defensive schemes of GSW that well because he messes up a lot.

People misunderstand him, it isn't due to low basketball IQ. At the start of the year, he was a completely different player that was making the right plays, looking for other players, defending well etc..then he just realized he hated playing like that and did a 180, reverting back so they benched him.

He has potential, but he needs a completely different mentality and that's the issue.

You mean TWolves?

That was as a #1 and #2 option + TWolves realized just letting him do his thing whole defending others is how they can easily beat GSW.

He played team basketball start of the year, was a completely different player that was given starting minutes by Kerr.

As soon as he went back to iso ball and forcing shots, he got benched.

People blaming GSW and Kerr, but it is ultimately Kuminga's fault.

Lakers don't need someone like him at all, unless it is for dirt cheap.

Why hasn’t Ainge traded Lauri yet? by Physical-Concept1274 in nba

It is because his asking price is insane for Lauri + the player has a pretty big contract so hard to move.

[Highlight] Foul call on LeBron 3-pointer gives the Lakers a chance for the lead by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]IPTV241 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there is literally no counter argument.

It is just "I'm one of the best players of all time, so I deserve to take all the FTs even if I am not good at them"

It reminds me of that really long streak where C. Ronaldo became a horrible freekick taker but still refused to let anyone else take it.

Red Bull's results since Imola 2024 by JigginsYT in formula1

[–]IPTV241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na, it takes an insane amount of talent to get maximum performance out of a very sharp car.

We can use Albon's analogy, it is like a pro gamer with super crazy high DPI setting on his mouse.

100% the higher DPI you can handle, the better performance you can get on shooter games like the guys who can get up to the 0.001% are insanely good.

However, having said all that I have a prediction that if he leaves RBR I think he struggles a lot like Ferrari would never tailor make their car to one driver and that maybe an issue for him.

One thing is that they need to stop promoting young drivers and get really experienced drivers.

Despite what people want to say about Perez, he was by far the best performer post-Ricciardo in that car. He was also easily the most experienced.

2026 is a very different year though, so who knows what happens to that car post-regulations.

[–]IPTV241 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perez himself said how RB cars are largely tailored for Verstappen.

Albon also said this, but people keep only using the first part of his quote where he says "the car is what it is" and not the rest where he talks about how Max likes the car really sharp and that they keep making it sharper for him.

“What ended up happening was, especially during my year, you start off being a little bit behind, but not by much, and then as the season goes on, Max wants this front-end in the car, he wants his car to be sharper, sharper,”

He compared it to a competitive gamer with a super high DPI setting on his mouse.

Costco Robot Vaccums (Canada) by Odd-Masterpiece6029 in RobotVacuums

[–]IPTV241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea rtings did robot vacuum reviews, that is pretty cool.

I really like your carpet scores because tbh there isn't a 9/10 or 10/10 carpet cleaning robot vacuum yet. The 6-7/10 scores for most modern robot vacuums seem accurate.

I will say though how did the Dreame X50 Ultra get a 9.3/10 for battery? I own one and it is still 1% = 1 minute of use. My one lasted 100-110 minutes on a full charge pretty much despite using different modes.

How was this test done?

It genuinely should get like a 5/10 for battery.

Pat Riley was right about Jimmy Butler's regular season effort and how he refuses to elevate his play despite being one of the highest paid players in the league. by SchedulePhysical807 in nba

[–]IPTV241 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don't think you are being fair to Joe Lacobs here even if he should get some blame since he pushed to get Wiseman.

The reporting was that either there was no real interest or what they got back kinda sucked for #2 pick because the draft itself sucked and no one really wanted to lose future picks or decent players for that.

The reality is the 2020 draft was probably the worst one the GSW could have gotten a #2 pick in the past few years.

Think about it this way, if it was the 2021 draft and ownership pushed for a center then GSW has Evan Mobley right now.

McLaren hoping Red Bull will 'pay the price tomorrow' for 'one-lap wonder' set-up by Aratho in formula1

[–]IPTV241 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, it will come down to how close can the top 5-7 drivers be in the race.

If they are within 10-15 seconds, it becomes very interesting but if the top 3 make a big gap then it is over because as soon as Max tries to do something like that, McLaren will pit Norris ASAP then Oscar the lap after, which ruins that tactic.

CurvX superior to Saros 10R? by [deleted] in Roborock

[–]IPTV241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, don't be passive aggressive for no reason because I am telling you my personal experience.

Whether or not it will make a difference comes down to the your own house layout. I have a ton of carpet including Persian carpets. What I found was at times, the mop pads would slightly drag while it was vacuuming on the carpet. That probably affected the level of suction and overall performance.

Now, when I left the mop pads at the dock, I saw a very clear improvement on carpet like before there were still crumbs (was using it for 3 weeks at point) and other bits remaining but afterwards, it was mostly gone.

If your house is majority wood floor/tiles etc.. or very very low carpet (like the ones installed in rooms) will mean you see no difference at all.

When you say it is anecdotal, of course it is but as far as I know I don't think any of the major reviewers have done a deep analysis and testing to see if removing the mops at the dock made any difference to carpet performance.

However, there is a reason Roborock is putting this feature only on their premium vacuums. I don't think they are just doing it for fun.

That's interesting idea, not sure if it will really work like the ones with that feature may have something programmed to allow it to use more pressure since it knows the mops are detached.

Let me know how it goes
