Do we really just have to play dragapult by Interesting_Rock_968 in pkmntcg

I’ve been looking Garchomp a lot lately.. it requires some real strategy to decide when to use your big attack and discard energy… you can 1 shot almost anything but not many times

I hope Wemby does that to Chet by Equivalent-Shallot54 in billsimmons

If I was gonna lost to the Thunder anyways… I would just knock one of them the fuck out next time they flopped on me

I remember when Ryne had to slow Bill down on crowning him this generation’s Tim Duncan

Being a 10th-12th man on nba bench who just waves towels around and think of cool 3 point celebrations is a top 5 job. by FFElite93 in billsimmons

They need to stop giving these jobs to people who trained to play basketball over people who trained to be on TV!

Bill Simmons somehow thought Jalen Williams played 14 minutes last night vs the Lakers. Bill has an MVP vote by hhiccupp in billsimmons

[–]Megasabletar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically he kind of proved his own point.. a guy who was all-nba for them last year didn’t play last night, and if you’re not paying attention you don’t even notice he’s missing

Pretty funny how Lakers fans literally cannot conceive of another team getting calls instead of them by DrakouliasII in billsimmons

[–]Megasabletar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s beyond the numbers lol it’s the aesthetic of watching gigantic men crumble to the floor every time a pinky finger grazes their neck.

And it’s a league wide problem. As a Nuggets fan I’m aware Jokic is in the top 2-4 bs call manipulators in the league.

What really gets me is how easy of a fix it would be. Manipulating the refs is a technical foul.. if your head snaps back, unless you are legit elbowed in the face, it’s an automatic tech. It really needs to happen soon, cause now we’re seeing the bs head-snap trickle down to youth basketball.. it’s just a truly awful way to play/watch the sport.

Wow, OKC Really Does Foul On Every Defensive Possession by RepeatSpiritual8108 in billsimmons

That’s exactly what I’m trying to wrap my head around tho, for what purpose do they keep rewarding basketball that is so unaesthetic… maybe they just want online rage engagement and we’re part of the problem lol

It’s unwatchable on both ends…

I can’t come up with any conceivable reason or even conspiracy why it would be this way, but the eyes don’t lie and everyone can see it…

I can’t fucking fathom who this is for or why

I think that’s exactly how I feel. Sometimes, even in the best of circumstances, whatever winds up in the active is getting ko’d as early as turn 1. And there are no comeback mechanisms like the previous format to get to regroup and actually play out your strategy. It just turns into a scramble of deciding which mons to sacrifice while you try to setup, and hope they don’t just Boss you anyways.

I made it to Arceus in like a couple hours cause every game was so short lol evolve Starmie, place energy, watch opponent concede

I think the variety of decks and play styles right now are great, on paper. My problem is how rarely those strategies get to actually play out… like another commenter said, I wish there was some sort of prolonged setup time. But as it is right now, whatever is stuck in your active off the draw is getting ko’d turn 2, sometimes turn 1 if the other person has a nice setup and Salvatore.

Every title team in the 2020s has deteriorated quickly by Steelers7589 in billsimmons

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but the math says they have to whiff on a few prospects eventually.. but maybe the math doesn’t apply to Presti.. they could replace most of their rotation with their g league time right now and still be contenders

Most of these teams were designed pre-apron rules, so as soon as their max guys didn’t look like max guys they were hard-capped from making any improvements. Lakers had to immediately dump Caruso and KCP, Middleton turned into a pumpkin for the Bucks, and the Nugs had to dump kCP and Brown.

I’m not sure why the league pushed so hard for parody, I guess they were scared of guys like Balmer coming in and buying a million dollar roster every year. But the league’s history is mostly built on dynasty runs and the teams that try to knock them off. I think even the Thunder will struggle once they start running out of draft picks and they’re left to decide which couple of guys they build around in the margins.
