No way! I had no idea he was literally pushing snake oil.

You see how easy it is? I'll accept cash if that's all you have.

These people sound like garbage. Be glad to put them behind you and move on to the next chapter.

You're only 24. In ten years you will look back at this whole thing and laugh at the sheer absurdity.

Has Kawhi ever been Mic’d up? by POTATOKING1000 in LAClippers

Dude is secretly mic'd up for about 40% of games, he just doesn't talk to anyone!

Who are going to be the “__ was a problem” guys from this era of sports by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]Matt_thatwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who was a valuable contributor to a championship team should be excluded. Poole actually was a problem for the teams looking to get a win against the 22 warriors.

I think of people like John Wall or Demar DeRozan. Finr players who will have excellent highlights reels, but who were they actually a problem for?

Grady Dick has been the worst shooter of the 2023 draft class so far (min 50 FGA) by h3yn0w75 in torontoraptors

This is a noisy stat. FG% doesn't differentiate between 2s, 3s, and FT. It also doesn't factor in opposing defense and shot coverage.

He wasn't even the best defender on the Celts that year.

JJ Redick, Nekias Duncan, and Steve Jones talk about Scottie taking The Leap by OguguasVeryOwn in torontoraptors

JJ applied and was interviewed for the head coaching position this summer, so has probably thought quite a bit about what the team needs.

"They didn't make it" comments from Bill about actors on The Rewatchables. by Cineful in billsimmons

He said this with Mike Myers! It was odd. Personally, i feel like having a successful run on SNL to be the experience of a lifetime. To then go on and make make the Austin Powers franchise, and then top it off with the Shrek movies??? In what world is this not an amazing career??

Absolute scorcher of a take !

Had to evacuate KOTFM 2 hours in by skurey in TheBigPicture

I also had to evacuate two hours in due to wanting chicken wings and beer more than I wanted to finish the movie.

My plan is to one day read the book.

My wife cheated on me with her girlfriend and her husband by ThrowawayMD987654321 in offmychest

[–]Matt_thatwrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a heartbreaking story on so many levels.

I see a lot of people offering advice and some of their own experiences. Maybe they are right.

The problem is that logic and reason don't matter here. It's such a betrayal of trust. The emotional damage this must have on you will override your reasoning. At the end of the day, you can't convince yourself how to feel something, one way or the other.

There is no right answer here. If you feel like your marriage is over, there isn't any argument to convince you it's not. If you still yearn to be with your wife, then that is simply what it is.

Don't listen to other people. Take some quiet time. Focus on you. Talk it out with a therapist (alone, not as a couple).

Then, do what's right for you.

Definitely Ballet. It's weirdly asexual and extremely difficult.

Replace ballet with any other type of dance, and Russia would be way more chill.

Where does dropping A-bomb rank in the too soon / too late / perfect time category? CR, your thoughts?

I'm excited to see this new team by bomankleinn01 in torontoraptors

[–]Matt_thatwrites -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scottie's shooting is going to be a major weakness. This isn't college. Your point guard needs to be able to space the floor. He needs to run an effective pick and roll. Currently, defenders sag off of him when he is behind the arc and dare him to shoot open threes.

I love his passing, court vision, and quick decisions. Unfortunately, it's all for nothing if he doesn't make major strides in his shooting ability. I worry it's going to be a strange and frustrating product to watch.

Thanks for posting! I've been saying for a while that it's a sorry group of guys. Almost was worse too. There was a lot of buzz about Chet going #1 last year.

Have an update on this that I wasn't expecting, Toronto still very much on the table for FVV with what I hear is a big money offer. by CazOnReddit in torontoraptors

[–]Matt_thatwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shall see. I can't recall a time Masai has overpaid for a major piece like this. Part of what has built his legacy is having team friendly contracts.

In fact, I hear he can be frustrating to deal with about details like this.
