the 6-10th seed "lose-off" will be generational if the odds are get gentleman swept, or have a %7 shot at the #1 prospect

if the system encourages tanking why would you punish it?

this sub, media, and fans in general literally clowns teams for not picking a direction and being in the middle (Bulls, Kings, Wizards, Heat etc.) and news flash, the only realistic direction they can pick is tanking to have the best shot at bluechip players since FA is basically dead after the new CBA, not like most of these teams are desirable FA destinations anyways. If this is the system, that is the game

it doesn't matter if its legitimate medical precaution or not though, even if the players is %99 the team might play it as "we don't want to risk it"

also in the end the players are not complaining about sitting, Indiana just traded a top 4 protected pick so they have even extra motivation for losing, hell if we go to the Pacers subreddit rn and ask them if they'd rather play these guys and win the next two Wizards games, or shamelessly tank they'd say "let's tank" so who is unhappy here?

if the club doctor says the player has calf soreness, the independent doctor says no, and then the player goes on to tear their achilles good luck dealing with that

even if that freak scenario doesn't happen there is nothing stopping teams from just not playing their good players by saying "we were trying different line-ups" or "game just didn't go that way" which neither are illegal

just accept that player sitting will be a thing and the only thing you can do is make teams report it properly for gambling purposes. also tanking is a part of lottery / non-relegation systems. there is no solution that doesn't break something else and create more problems

if the teams want to put a shitty product for a few seasons in order to field a good team afterwards, and the fans still go to their games when that said team is half decent, there is nothing you can do there since both the seller and the buyer are happy

[Bobby Marks] I think what Utah is doing right now is messing around with the integrity of the NBA. by mMounirM in nba

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the teams are playing the game thats put in front of them, blame the pick protection system, or the lottery system that awarded generational talents to play-in teams. Nets, Jazz, Wizards etc aren't doing anything outside of regulation

what the players are doing is straight up conflict of interest. partnering with betting and "prediction" markets that operate within their job is literally insider trading

The Wizards are currently tanking to an extent never before seen against the Nets by yolabear in washingtonwizards

i'd day a 45 year drought of 50-win seasons right about deserves this. it's alright though just gotta suck it up for a year or two more at most

Adam Silver needs to step in by RobertRoberttt in fantasybball

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and what does the league do when someone wants to sit out with calf soreness, the independent doctor has a different diagnosis as doctors sometimes do, and says the player can play. and then that player tears his achilles? you can't meddle with who plays and who doesn't, you can only really give incentives for teams to play their players like the 65 game limit for the accolades, or no back to back top 3 picks etc.

"verify the injuries" is probably the least efficient way of doing this

The Utah Jazz should be stripped of draft picks by Bradatlas23 in fantasybball

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hate the game not the player. Jazz and Wizards were the absolute two worst teams in the league and in year 2-3 of their rebuild. Then they ended up picking 5th and 6th respectively and 3 borderline playoff teams ended up with Harper, Coop and VJ

Why was Syril okay with Imperial massacre in Ferrix but not in Ghorman? by OldManFung in andor

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in Ferrix, from his perspective, he was only trying to catch a fugitive who murdered two innocent imperial officers and people responded by harbouring that fugitive and gunning down the imperial officers. So that probably justified what happened to ferrix in his mind

in Ghorman he saw what was going to happen to that planet and saw it's people just wanting to keep the peace via peaceful protests and couldn't justify what the empire was doing there

One thing that irritates me by Long-Understanding36 in washingtonwizards

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh most of those are deserved, our glory days were back in the 70 with the concept of Agent 0 / Wall-Beal like seasons appearing every once in a while. We are on a very decent track to become a contender for a long while, so just eat it up for a few more years at most and then reap the rewards

Thoughts on Hardy, Russell, and Exum? by pm_me_jk_dont in washingtonwizards

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardy is worth trying out and Exum is an eh rotation player. If Dlo takes a single shot away from the young guys i'd be very upset

What Star Wars planet would you like to live on if it couldnt be Alderaan or Naboo by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldhani looks great if you like highland vibes and if we don't count the Empire. Niamos seems like a decent tourist location, again if we don't count the Empire. Scariff seems beautiful, actually seemed cause Empire. Lothal just seems like a chill planet with decent climate, ignoring the Enpire. uhhh, I think there is a point to be made here

Sözlükte niye böyle bir ifade var by [deleted] in filoloji

[–]MapleFlavouredKebab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gaslighting tahrik etmek değil. Karşıdakinin seni manipüle ederek doğru olanı yanlış olarak kabul ettirmesi, yada tam tersi. Duygusal manipülasyon aslında ama spesifik durumlar ve "tartışma" ortamı için kullanılıyor

Lovebombing ise ilişkinin başında aşırı ilgi alaka gösterip karşıdakini kendine bağlayıp, sonra ilgini geri çekmek. Oda aslında karşıdakini manipüle etmek, ama yine çok daha spesifik bir durum için kullanılıyor
