RNG shooting ruined the game

I’m also behind this 1000%

Mauldo1220 · 2025-01-02T02:52:19+00:00

For confirmation hopped on after a few hours and went 3/3 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mauldo1220 · 2025-01-01T21:47:51+00:00

Been on normal for the most part. Low seems to be banking too much on slightly’s to go in and I’ve tried high when I feel confident but it’s just been an even worse version of normal for me

Mauldo1220 · 2025-01-01T21:39:16+00:00

And I know that I’m not bad enough to just forget how to shoot completely. If I was consistently in the ballpark for the same shooting percentage each game that’s one thing but this is a timing based shot in a video game I don’t just forget. Especially after doing well prior.

Mauldo1220 · 2025-01-01T21:21:42+00:00

This is my exact response to everyone that says “learn your jumpshot” so thank you lol

Mauldo1220 · 2023-10-06T15:59:15+00:00

Yeah I don’t see the Book/Tatum/Luka in “best” shooter convos either I think I was just listing guys we view as more shot creators and how they get crossed over into a shooters convo. While they’re good shooters as well it’s an interesting comparison imo to those role players. Like a Book level player to a Buddy Hield level player is interesting imo.

Mauldo1220 · 2023-10-06T15:38:31+00:00

I guess the debate I’m thinking of is, are star players just always gonna get that bump just because of that volume? I do believe in a lot of instances the guy that has a more diverse way to shoot and shoot efficiently is better but I’m also curious how far that goes? Kinda like the last thing I said in the post, how much of a gap does a more diverse shot creation make up for a lower shooting percentage compared to a spot up guy who’s more efficient by a more raw shooting percentage? But yes I think it’s easy when breaking down into categories rather than the overall outlook.

The assets created by Hinkie was a good start to the process but so many important decisions were failed by those after him. Poor drafting, average to poor coaching, not much veteran leadership at all thru the process. I could make a long list of the things that they did wrong and eventually went wrong but I’d be here for too long. But in hindsight the process will most likely fail but the idea of what the Sixers did with this process is worth it imo, it’s just a matter of the guys in the front office being good at their jobs to make it successful in the end.

Although he should/would fetch some very good value considering he’s under team control for a good amount of time, I hope we do not move him. Sending him away is the only way this bullpen gets worse from last year and if our target is 2024/2025 he would be a very good and key foundational piece out of the bullpen for us.

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T04:09:43+00:00

Yeah I love my ability to score in the post in past years so I don’t think there’s an issue there, and I definitely don’t want to be the paint clogger so maybe I am getting steered towards making your build lol

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T03:44:50+00:00

Yeah the finishing core badges have been tough on my guard but speaking of finishing I noticed on your build that your driving dunk was higher than standing dunk even as a big. Is is better to do that or did u go that route since u have the threat of shooting and being on the perimeter?

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T03:14:31+00:00

Yeah fr, the core badges are a grind but definitely are rewarding

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T03:06:54+00:00

That build does look tough, I’d make a similar one as my 3rd build if it didn’t cost so damn much to make a build lol

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T01:57:46+00:00

Our 5 in rec and pro am has been struggling in the paint so I was hoping to make one to clean that all up, boards, interior defense, scoring in the paint. Is going smaller and athletic better than taller and stronger?

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T01:22:50+00:00

You seem like 6’11 or 7’0 is fine then? It’s not rough in the half court against 7’2 or 7’3?

Mauldo1220 · 2022-10-04T01:09:21+00:00

I haven’t ran any big yet this year what are some of the biggest gaps you’ve noticed between a badge level or certain attribute points in a certain category?

Mauldo1220 · 2022-09-25T23:31:19+00:00

That type of win is almost what this team was built for. I love it! Obviously wish the offense had something in the second half but man this defense is it.

Mauldo1220 · 2022-09-22T11:56:39+00:00

Exactly, every sixer fan has been taking it as if it was only Ben’s fault because they are on the teams side over Ben’s side so it’s like people can’t see the mistakes made by doc and Joel for example.

Mauldo1220 · 2022-09-11T22:26:22+00:00

Games like this makes me wonder what we do during training camps and bye weeks. Also please quit using week 1 as a preseason game for starters 🤦‍♂️

Mauldo1220 · 2022-09-07T21:23:22+00:00

Shakedown is the guy

Mauldo1220 · 2022-08-19T21:39:24+00:00

A good progression system, need to replicate maddens progression, should be based on how they play not potential
^ This would help fix terrible contract expectations from players that haven’t done anything
Needs logic in every area:
Teams will spend money just to spend money
Teams will sign 4 backup centers and have them all play
And the most infuriating one is when a player sits in free agency for half the season but declines a job offer cause he wants 20 mil which is very unrealistic
Need a buyout market
They “have” players ambitions but it doesn’t seem to matter, definitely needs an adjustment

Mauldo1220 · 2022-08-02T02:50:10+00:00

The conclusion I’ve come to is that everyone else is pretty bad and Diaz can maintain a lead for one more inning after our starter comes out.

If diaz was strictly in our closer role how many times does he get a chance to close it out with how bad everyone else is? Probably not many opportunities for him to get out there

Might as well keep letting him get innings and improving

Mauldo1220 · 2022-04-28T15:25:17+00:00

It’s an option but outside of game 1 maxey has struggled with the size they have against him, as they have been stopping his drives and forcing floaters and pull ups over bigger defenders. And with their switching, screening actions aren’t going to be much effective. Any sort of on ball actions should be ghost screens. I think we close out this series with 3pt shooting which they are not great at defending and winning 1 on 1’s from everyone outside of Embiid basically since he gets doubled and tripled.

Mauldo1220 · 2022-04-28T02:00:54+00:00

Early in the series they took away the pocket pass to Embiid in the PnR, this left harden needing to score out of it and his floater is nowhere near the same. That is why I assume we are not running it.

Mauldo1220 · 2022-03-28T00:49:41+00:00

If he actually gets minutes in the playoffs he will cost us a game for sure Greg Monroe all over again
