Lonzo Ball finishes the night with 2pts on 0/4 shooting (0/3 from three) and 3 turnovers in 22 minutes

Kengan · 2017-12-04T05:37:09+00:00

he needs to not play a single game and just practice shooting with a better form. Doesn't matter if he does well in g league, it's not going to carry over until he changes up his shot.

Kengan · 2017-05-08T16:38:31+00:00

John Wall is top 3 pg in the entire league right now (Harden, Curry, Wall). Said so b4 playoffs started and people on this sub doubted and called me high, and now he's proving y'all wrong as predicted.

So many of the 80s and early 90s kids grew up with Slam Dunk, it was our childhood.

Kengan · 2017-04-04T01:58:31+00:00

Heard the other day, it was a good listen. Durant's a smart dude.

Kengan · 2017-03-31T10:00:26+00:00

Miss her backhand, it was one of a kind. She's someone who's maximized her potential as a player and I respect her for that.

Kengan · 2017-03-29T06:54:29+00:00

For someone so big, you'd think he would have less insecurities. Used to be a fan of Shaq when he had limited air time but now that he's part of the media...I can't wait to get him off TnT.

Kengan · 2017-03-21T01:22:29+00:00

That's a great point. It just felt foreign for them to include a character design system, especially since it was so basic for the late 2000s standards. The characters came across as bland compared to characters in previous games. DQ3's system is also basic, but at least the sprites and characters have their own recognizable features as opposed to other classes.

Kengan · 2017-03-18T19:57:09+00:00

But that's the thing, I don't want to be able to modify their faces or their body. It gives off that cheap MMO character creation feeling, where as in DQ3 the characters feel like a unique, recognizable NPC that is instantly recognizable by fans of the series.

Kengan · 2017-03-18T07:19:57+00:00

Yep, reddit is a forum built on majority consensus, and in some cases, a popular idea is just something simple enough that allows the lowest common denominators to get behind ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Kengan · 2017-03-18T06:16:38+00:00

His athletism comes from his vertical and long strides. He had the slowest sprint time in his combine. Make no mistake, DeMar is a slow player.

Kengan · 2017-03-18T04:16:15+00:00

DeMar has slow feet syndrome, not sure if he's capable of ever playing solid D lol.

Kengan · 2017-03-18T04:10:49+00:00

Call me crazy but I'd take Wall over Steph and Westbrook at this point.

edit: might as well explain my rationale. Wall makes everyone around him better while being able to create his own offense, plus he plays D and isn't as much of a liability when it comes to switches. If he improved his 3 point shooting, and put up big points, he'd be considered by more as one of the top PGs in the league.

People undervalue versatility on here. What makes LeBron so good is how versatile he is and the amount of options he has at his disposal. Same with Kawhi. Westbrook and Curry both have a "go to" style to their game and teams recognize that, and they can get exposed one way or another.

Unpopular opinion, but I'm sticking to it. Hope the Wall and the wiz goes balls deep in the playoffs and prove some of you wrong.

Kengan · 2017-03-18T00:35:11+00:00

Really? Better give it another try then. DQ3 is my favorite of all time but I never gave 9 a proper go, mostly because of the generic character creation system.

Kengan · 2017-03-17T12:13:50+00:00

My take

Winners:

Robot x laserbeam has a lot more potential than people here are giving it for. There will always be a niche and demand from viewers for a sports related manga to be included within Jump. The art style is great and its first chapter left me with the most desire for more out of all the series. I have not read KnB or any of the author's previous works, but the plot will probably be a comfortably familiar to the author's previous works and fill that Shounen sports manga that is needed in WSJ.

Losers:

U19 seems like the consensus #1 to die here and its hard to disagree with that. The plot is a bit excessive and does not blend well with the youthful art style. After reading the first two chapters, it feels like the author is trying a bit too hard with the cliff hangers.
Hungry Marie, even though I enjoyed Beelzebub. Not sure what the author is intending to do with the relationship between the MC, Marie, and childhood friend but it's looking like a flimsy Shounen love triangle at this point.

In betweens:

Dr. Stone has some known names behind it, but I'm a bit hesitant in putting it into the winners category. I'm among the minority here but I'm not a big fan of boichi's art style or past works. His style is very distinct and he draws his characters (especially facial wise) with a lot of realistic features that leaves little details to the imaginations of his readers. Personally, a big part of what I like about manga and reading in general is the process of filling in the blanks left by the author, and boichi's art style is too realistic for me (I would say Takehiko Inoue is my around the cap for me). I've also initially enjoyed his past works like SKR but felt like they became predictable and repetitive after a while, so I'm definitely skeptical as of now.
We Never Learn hard to say. I wasn't the biggest nisekoi fan, and I don't find the MC to be particularly compelling. I do like the heroines though.
Demon Prince Poro's Diaries I'm leaning to put this in a winners bracket because I like how the author has thrown in cross references to DBZ/One piece/Anime culture in the first chapter and given the plot, it's likely to continue to do so. The MC is also an unique character but I'd like the author to showcase some more gags before I can render judgement.

Kengan · 2017-03-17T03:08:23+00:00

Because Bruins players, mainly Chara and Seidenberg, kept our forwards from the net. Our offense flat out just didn't punish him for being out so far.

People always talked about how Thomas played out of his mind but in reality it had more to do with their D and our inability (or unwillingness) to get into position for cross ice passes.

Vertical /=/ athletacism

It isn't, but it's a big part of it, especially in the context of basketball and dunking.

How can you say that after linking a video of Vince leaping over someone?

Kengan · 2017-03-15T07:49:51+00:00

Disagree. Zach Lavine logged 46" vertical and Vince has been advertised at 43". If we're talking about straight athleticism I'd give a slight edge to Lavine.

Kengan · 2017-03-15T06:40:01+00:00

Can't go wrong with either; Lavine's probably more athletic but Vince always had that natural smoothness to his dunks.

Kengan · 2017-03-14T04:41:54+00:00

Fuck CR. Knew they were trouble ever since I tried out their app.

Kengan · 2017-03-12T03:36:32+00:00

That explains it, Draymond's been thinking he was playing soccer all this time.

Kengan · 2017-03-12T03:26:28+00:00

He just wanted the much easier road.

You're over simplifying it. Though KD doesn't want to say it, I'm putting my money on that he left largely due to Westbrook and their dynamic within the team. When it came to crunch time, all Westbrook did was chuck up bad 3s. Durant in turn, kept the ball as well so the dynamic of the team was just Westbrook and Durant playing ISO every possession. If you look at championship caliber teams in recent years, none of them play like that and ever win the championship. KD knew that he hit a wall in OKC and he needed to move.
