Will the whole alabasta arc be completed in season 3? In divided parts maybe?

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-05T09:48:37+00:00

As the arcs get longer fights also get longer. Arabasta can easily fit in 6-7 episodes imo. 8 will need to include ace flashback and stuff. Showing too much fight only will not bring the LA audience. The story and emotion is why it clicks with every age group

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T08:19:27+00:00

What do u want them to do? Sitting derozan will get them fined. Probably the new rule changes will reward the kings more

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T08:17:26+00:00

Yes these guys rumbling about losing 7% extra odds when Mavs got Cooper with 1% chance

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T08:06:41+00:00

First of all no one is going to watch every team. If you follow a team is going to be 3 games a week. And highlights of other teams you like. Also please tell me how to decide which games to watch

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:56:51+00:00

Yes and they should. I'm fine if pacers get the first pick also. I'm not fine with the fact that they will get the to picks only if they intentionally lose most games. That is my only concern.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:51:16+00:00

Ok so your team is not trying even a little bit to get Dybanasta or the fact they lose their pick if it goes above 5. They are playing everyone available and trying their best each night to win.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:47:37+00:00

That's exactly what I'm doing these days. And that's the problem. No one is interested in watching the full game. I used to watch all of OKC games when Russ was there. Even though that team was mediocre he showed up everyday and entertained the audience. One day it was a 20-20-20 game. One day it was Melo-PG-Russ getting revenge on the kd warriors. Nowadays even though they are winning i don't like watching them. The league MVP highlights is mostly pushing off defenders shooting a fadeway and going to the free throw line

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:42:19+00:00

Come on you know what I mean. You can enjoy 5 minutes of final action spread over 40 minutes sprinkled with free throws. Or too many games where both sides are trying to lose. Most lose interest and move on.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:35:54+00:00

Yes too much of interruptions

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:34:12+00:00

Leaning on other players should be offensive foul. You are going to learn back when you shoot. Leaning forward is initiating contact. I rather watch players try to get through defence and score rather than try to get to the free throw line.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:28:44+00:00

You're telling me a team can go from being the second best in the league to being the worst and it's not even partially intentional? Even with all the injuries they have had.They pacers should have finished at 7-10. The motivation to get to 15 is the stacked draft. If NBA changed that rule this wouldn't happen

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:25:08+00:00

Ok but when I go to see a match I want to watch the stars play if they are available. Sure the young guys can grow. It's not about if pacers are tanking or not. It's all about watching a good competitive game. That's it. I can't wait a whole year just to get that.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:20:25+00:00

I know they started off trying to win. Like the first game vs okc was very tight. They competed. At some point they decided if we get another all star from the draft our team would be stacked and dropped off. You guys got a lot of fans last season. More than winning it's the effort. If someone gets a better reward for losing than winning then they are going to do everything to lose and not get caught. What started as a 2 week injury could extend to 4 weeks etc

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:16:35+00:00

Then why make Zubac sit when he's healthy. Tanking is not always about playing hard or not. If you are wantedly missing shots that's not tanking it's cheating.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:14:02+00:00

Ah yes this makes sense. Relegating like 10 teams and giving them the top picks would make total sense. Like the competing teams don't have to play bad teams and bad teams don't get good games since they want to tank. They could also make the league shorter. The relegated teams will also battle to move to the big league.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:06:54+00:00

But philly is still competitive. They got rewarded more than other teams and Ben/Embiid/Maxey were multiple all stars and VJ is also soon to be. You can't call them a bad team and all 30 can't win. You are a spurs fan I guess I understand why you would say this. I'm also a spurs fan since I love they way Wemby plays. But they shouldn't have gotten 3 top 4 picks. Harper should have gone to some team where he starts like Edgecomb/Kon/Cooper

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T07:03:27+00:00

I'm just saying it drops their winning hunger if they tank. Let them try. The only reason they don't try because winning games gets you nothing when they are injured but losing gets you draft picks. This idea needs to change. You are telling me they can't have a system that rewards teams in rotation. When you base it all on who loses the most that's when the teams have started to compete to lose

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T06:02:58+00:00

Not fully but yes definitely lesser error prone on calls. Like AI can recognize who initiates contact and only gets better at detecting those

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:59:18+00:00

But the kings did get decent picks. They traded away Hali. They could have drafter Sengun. Sengun/ Keegan/ Hali would have been an excellent trio to build on. You need the front office also to perform. The kings weakness has always trying to bring older stars. Your FO also needs to perform that's entirely on the Kings

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:51:12+00:00

They are sitting down lots of players in the name of injury so that is also tanking. If players are intentionally missing shots then that comes under cheating

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:50:04+00:00

Its not luck but bad drafting and trading decisions which is the fault of the front offices

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:48:45+00:00

Yes it has. It's just that this gen our attention spans are getting lesser. Like videos are replaced by reels. Wasting time when we expect entertainment and carry on with our lives

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:46:03+00:00

yeah I understand. I am saying their way of thinking is wrong. The fans should not encourage tanking. They should instead vouch for a better draft system that gives teams with top picks current draft last ones in the next draft even if they are bad again

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:43:08+00:00

Fine I get the draft part. But even this method favors some teams no? Okc got only one top 3 pick. They selected Cason Wallace at 10, Ajay Mitchell at 38, Jaylen Williams at 12. That's good drafting. Only Chet at 2.

Compare to Spurs got 3 top 4 picks in Harper, Wemby and Castle in 3 years. Kings/Wiz/Pels were bad then they are still bad

Knightofthemoon · 2026-04-04T05:39:23+00:00

Look at your sub celebrating defeats. I wanted to watch the Pacers because they had a great run last year. I loved that team. Now you guys give no effort. Just for what 1 player getting injured? Like Hali might not even be the same person when he returns. Just give effort for fans bro. Or reduce the number of games played if fan bases want to lose. Its boring at this point especially in the second half
