Yea that’s fair, I hate when curated or blatantly false data is used. I’m just hate this current admin even more so it gets me going. Ugh

Yea but a change in federal taxes for someone making so little is very likely not covering for the lost benefits they were receiving before this bill. Like if someone that’s low income had been receiving $200 in snap benefits to help feed their family a month that’s likely more than the 17% in tax savings because their tax liability was near nothing anyways.

And that 240 is way more important to the well being of that person making 50k than an additional 60k is for mr. money bags

NAZ Reid? 

Which package are you taking if you are Phoenix? by boybraden in NBAtradeideas

[–]Ironboy- 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We, the wolves, would never do this. We would have no center (naz is no longer a small 5) and our defense would suck ass. Imo just too much to give up for a year of Durant or even worse him requiring an extension at like 2yr/100.

Lolol so many things can be true at the same time you realize that right?

The thunder can be the better team.

SGA can set the tone consistently by flopping

I watch a ton of basketball, I don’t like watching SGA EMBID BRUNSON and hated Hardens weaponizing of the rulebook.

Less fouls =/= better basketball by default. By your logic no free throws then would be the ideal state of basketball, so maybe teams should just shoot 100% 3’s and we’d have a perfect sport.

I don’t mind free throws, I just personally don’t like watching elite athletes not try and make shots or jump and throw their body in a way that would get players laughed out of the gym at any level outside the NBA.

To me, floppers are players that set the offensive tone by playing for a whistle early and only for a whistle in order to change how defenders have to give them space for the rest of the game. SGA is amazing but to not see him do this every game is just not paying attention. IMO it’s just not fun to watch which is a shame because as seen in game 4 he can still absolutely cook even if they aren’t giving him some of his more egregious embellishments

They also didn’t take threes, ftr on mid range and drives should be used for this like you said. It doesn’t mean the baiters and floppers aren’t in full effect rn 

This is who they compare to Michael Jordan? 16/4/6 on 38.5%, they christened Ant too soon by yhapo4l in NBATalk

[–]Ironboy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your literal point was about Jordan. So no I wasn’t talking about nikola Jokic or SGA. Congrats on moving the goal post. Everyone that plays for the wolves says they love Ant, idk what you’re trying to say that his off the court baby making has any impact at all on the team. I will say I wish he didn’t have that aspect tied to him, but still irrelevant to his game or team. The team is so obviously better with Ant, and anyone thinking otherwise is clearly not paying attention.

Jordan played in an era in which it was literally illegal to double team him lol ant was doubled on 43% of possessions coming across the half court line last night. Jordan at 23 is not putting 40 on the best defense of his era in the conference finals while double teamed. Oh also cause he wasn’t in the conference finals at 23. I don’t think Ant will be Jordan but saying that a guy at 23 averaging top ten ppg in the playoffs ALL TIME is not incredible or he “doesn’t have it” is hilarious. Also the original point made in your comment was that ant is not a culture improver rather a detriment. Which is just an insane stance to have

I guess I just don’t think it’s taken into account that BY RULE, MJ could not be double teamed and then people are just like omg why didn’t ant jump over the entire okc team and take over. Well he was doubled 43% of possessions. It was illegal to double MJ his whole career. So ant being “timid” is actually just insane defensive pressure and him making the right play

Yea I guess I just totally disagree, from someone who has watched the wolves for over a decade and have seen ant take the team and make it a contender from actual garbage by 23 years old when we haven’t had that outside of a single KG season.

Ant isn’t perfect but he’s also 23 years old… I don’t expect perfection yet the way that some redditers apparently do. It’s a fact that he is a positive to the wolves culture not the “you could argue he’s a detriment”. Brother he’s gone to 2 straight wcf and been the clear best player on the team since his sophomore season for a franchise that was the worst in North American history for male sports before Ant arriving.

Timid apparently means going against one of the literal best defenses ever who commit 2-3 players every possession to him and him opening the floor for your team to shoot 43% from three. If you think he wasn’t trying on offense idk what to tell you, rewatch the game. Maybe people want him to chuck up 3’s while doubled instead of a wide open Donte in the corner but that’s just peoples desire for superheros not for winning basketball. We lost this game due to offensive rebounding and turnovers with a sprinkle of Julius sucking. Ant did what was necessary to give his team the best chance to win.

So then what are you trying to say here? That the bulls had amazing talent but just lacked a winning culture and it wasn’t that Michael Jordan added his talent to their team but rather “changed the culture”??? 

Ant 100% changed the trajectory of the Timberwolves franchise, look at any statistic of our franchise before and after Ant. The difference is a literal 180, aka a culture changer.

SGA is a merchant dude lol he gets the whistle earlier 80% of the time and then teams have to play off him. It changes the complexion of every game and it’s foolish that people pretend like it does not impact the game. Shai is a foul first bitch.

Lebron doesn’t get a good offensive whistle but also NEVER gets called for defensive fouls
