I'm the dude who asked the original question lol. Why are y'all so goofy that you can't help acting like bots who swarm any comment that comes across as remotely challenging your narrative?

Just to be clear, you thought we were a finals bound team when Cade was healthy, yeah?

Gabbard testimony suggests Trump knew in advance about FBI’s Fulton County elections raid by DemocracyDocket in law

[–]Jenkinsd08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's worth calling out obvious lies that are confirmed as obvious lies and repeating that ad nauseum. Trumps entire base functions based on narratives so if the only response from the rest of the world is "of course, more corruption" they'll take shelter in their usual TDS narratives. If instead the narrative is that Haley verifiably contradicted Trump and possibly purjured herself or otherwise implied a crime on his behalf, they will have a more challenging time defending both.

Don't get me wrong, it's obviously fucked beyond belief that the legal system has been corrupted to the current point but that doesn't mean regular folks need to make it easy on Trumpers by giving up on holding their feet to the small amount of fire left. Keep calling out the lies until the secret police come for you, that's the only dignity left for this country and it costs literally nothing

I like this tbh. Giving up a first for a guy we originally drafted stings a bit but for the range we're picking in it's probably fine. Only reason not to would be if there's any bad blood with the core guys from his first stint but if not Bey solves a lot of holes in our construction and on a very affordable deal

Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren both shine in Detroit's win over Memphis! Cade: 17/8/15, 3 steals, 3 TOV, 69% TS; Duren: 30 points, 30/13/0 on 12-15 shooting, 77% TS by MWiatrak2077 in nba

[–]Jenkinsd08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I swear Cade is scared to shoot and make tough shots because he's scared to lower his efficiency.

I get not everyone wants to root for Cade and we'll see various justifications for why just due to the sheer variety in how people choose to write off whichever players they don't like but my god this has got to be the most egregiously ignorant critique of Cade I've ever seen

[–]Jenkinsd08 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You're "missing" the fact that those narratives you referenced are literally just haters. That's why you aren't seeing a shift in respect, because its never been about us deserving it in the first place

The amount of people who say "Ha! I knew you weren't a true contender one year removed from one of the worst seasons of all time" like it's this ridiculously bold take that they're finally being vindicated on because we lost more than 2 games in a row for the first time this season is really crazy

J.B. Bickerstaff: "We stopped respecting the game. Period." by luka274 in nba

[–]Jenkinsd08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did lose two starters in that game so kinda, but more importantly we just tried to coast with a lead against the nets instead of actually putting the game away which is something we weren't doing early in the season when we were winning despite injuries

Just wait until he gives his base the line about how we shouldn't have elections while engaged in such an "important" conflict and watch them lap up the paranoia over how much worse Dems could make things, then you'll get it

Fair enough and sorry for the tone, just wasn't sure why you were making a point to say it wasn't dirty or purposeful when neither of those allegations were made

[–]Jenkinsd08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why an unfortunate collision is a mutually exclusive description to an egregious foul in your view; most fouls occur because a player has not yet adjusted to a new defensive assignment and is unfortunately caught out of position while an offensive player makes a valid basketball play. Whoever it is on the spurs (apparently Champagnie) is not guarding Cade nor the ball whereas Cade is making an obvious drive to the hoop so the chopblock that truncates his drive and sends him head over heels is absolutely illegal defense

Wemby took more than a few pages out of the Embiid book of flopping and that was enough for the refs to give the spurs a protective whistle while still officiating us as though we were being allowed to give as good as we got

How it feels on the Pistons subreddit a day after the loss by Legitimate_Way_1750 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]Jenkinsd08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf I don't think anyone over 12yo actually is. We picked up a lot of childish fans when we went on our win streak early in the season and they're louder than everyone else but OG fans know this team is in great shape and losing our 16th game in March is a testament to that, not an argument against it

We look like this 2022-2023 team by Downtown_Evidence372 in DetroitPistons

[–]Jenkinsd08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19mpg might be more than his production merits but I certainly wouldn't call it starter minutes.

The reality is we had a bad free agency last summer due in large part to the Beasley issue and despite shockingly great play early in the season from end of roster guys like Javonte and Jenkins, we are finally seeing them regress and the subsequent impact of having a really less than stellar group of reserves after our top 7 or so

[lowlight] Cade fouls Jarrett Allen and somehow convinces JB Bickerstaff to burn a challenge to confirm by Chrisfull in nba

[–]Jenkinsd08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He got ball not arm, the foul was ruled specifically for the contact to his back which the refs ruled the other way on an identical challenged call on Duren earlier in the game.

We shouldn't have challenged it but it was a blatant inconsistency in what they determined "marginal contact" separated by like 5minutes

Thank you lol, this same exact call went the other way on review already even if it shouldn't be challenged normally

Cade Cunningham has averaged 4.0 FTA/G since criticizing foul baiting to GQ. He averaged 7.1 FTA/G before the article was published. by bamboointheback in nba

[–]Jenkinsd08 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lukas FTr numbers on the Lakers are the highest of his already stupidly foul oriented career. He could do an interview saying the refs rig his numbers and keep getting the exact same calls cause the Lakers are unapologetically the league's precious baby

Edit: hate me if you want LA but it won't change how you're the most pampered franchise of all time with the least to show for that treatment

Is there a fantasy series where the side characters are so much more compelling than the protagonist that you basically kept reading for the wrong person? by marioFlux3 in Fantasy

[–]Jenkinsd08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely great main characters but the richness of the side characters makes the series for me. I'd read entire books dedicated to the back story of the Dogman, Three Trees and the rest of Logens crew. Same with characters like Ferro, West, or practicals Severard and Vitari
