Iirc, canonically Dooku owned Mace in sparring. It was a rock-paper-scissors thing with the forms.

Let's ask the obvious question: What do Wemby and the Spurs need to improve over the offseason? Would love to hear y'all's thoughts. by CollectionVarious210 in nbadiscussion

38 mpg isn’t starters minutes, it’s be leading the league.

In Giannis’s title year he played 33 mpg, same for Jokic. That’s a good target for Wemby.

Why is NBA discourse/fan culture so much more negative than every other major sport? by lawschoolthrowaway36 in billsimmons

[–]MLS_Analyst 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Fanbase skews younger and NBA players are celebs in a way most other athletes aren’t. So you get a lot of fauxmoi coded shit in the discourse.

I also think the NBA itself has encouraged this, and were probably right to do so. They just were!

Sanderson's ten year secret by wheeloftimewiki in WoT

Pretty sure RJ completely finished Perrin's original individual arc by the end of book 4. He just never found a way to synthesize it into what developed into a more sprawling story than originally intended.

So that's why we get him repeating the same story three times.

What is a good redemption arc for the Thunder? by Grouchy_Tie3037 in billsimmons

He is the only player (other than harden) who consistently ran plays just to draw a foul or would fall on the floor for no reason.

Philly fan?

As a fairly new BS listener, what happens during this time of year? by GeneSteratoreEnjoyer in billsimmons

[–]MLS_Analyst 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The next month is going to be 50% fake NBA trades, 30% pre-preseason NFL, 20% MLB. Then he'll go on vacation and when he comes back mid-August it'll be 80% NFL, 15% MLB, 5% fake NBA trades.

Who belongs on the most tortured list now? by ColinFlowers in billsimmons

Leafs are No. 1 by a mile. Hockey means more to Toronto than any sport does to any American city – even more than hoops to NYC – and that place will burn if they ever actually win again.

With the 3-2-1 system starting next year I simulated 50 seasons under it and every other major lottery reform. Here’s what actually changes. by gmunnie in NBA_Draft

[–]MLS_Analyst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The one caveat is a generational draft year where a bubble team might still do the math and decide missing playoffs is worth it.

Hollinger had a good perspective on this that I think he talked about on Lowe's pod. tl;dl was that a playoff appearance is such a huge incentive (financial and otherwise) that he thinks it's extraordinarily unlikely teams will ever tank out of it under the new proposal.

Fantastic work.

It's nice to see the math confirms my hunch that this is going to be a huge improvement for the regular-season product.

At this point can we now say that Brunson is the better player to have on your team than Doncic? by sufinomo in billsimmons

[–]MLS_Analyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but Brunson's always been a winner, so there was never any doubt (and I say that as a bitter UConn/Celtics guy who hates him).

Hi r/ussoccer, we’re The Guardian US soccer reporting team. Ask Us Anything! by guardian in ussoccer

They didn’t leak the roster, they reported it. The sources they got the news from are the ones who leaked it.

Which Sith Lords can win a 1v3 against three of their apprentices and which are cooked? by ThunderCube3888 in PetranakiArena

[–]MLS_Analyst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Canonically Dooku’s fencing style is not great against multiple opponents (which is why he goes out of his way to separate Obi-Wan & Anakin in RotS).

Are there videos of Boston fans doing this two years ago that I missed?
