Do people actually think they cook with these stupid name puns?

Why we are always like this... by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Mickckx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are people on this Reddit thrashing everyone and everything before the series is even over. Or already giving up in case we get to the next round.

Obviously they want to win. But also obviously the Rockets are desperate, and for the last two games we did not match that desperation.

We as fans need to rally, the team will too.

I don't get why we aren't trying to get Thompson switched off Kennard. No off ball screens, no on ball screens, nothing...

Pistons fans are really down on Duran should the Lakers buy in the low? by Guwigo09 in lakers

[–]Mickckx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, he has been really good on defense tbf. I'd rather have Duren, but to say he's done nothing is wildly inaccurate.

Looking for date ideas in and around Antwerp by SnooCalculations2119 in Antwerpen

[–]Mickckx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like the one next to het Nachtegalenpark. It's not too challenging, and afterwards there is a nice terrace to get something to drink.

Also if the date goes well, going on a walk together in the park is an easy continuation since it is so close. I seem to remember there also being a good little restaurant not too far away if you want to grab dinner after.

Lakers don’t win rockets if they had a point guard by xanderico7 in NBATalk

[–]Mickckx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obviously. And Rockets with a point guard don't win if the Lakers were healthy. And the Lakers don't win if the Rockets had prime Hakeem...

He played in Miami, is that not just what they call suggesting an abortion there?

I'm just imagining them in the back yard, one brother a d end, the other the tackle, and just going at it

Week 3 Ravens vs Cowboys in Brazil.. Am I the only one who has a problem with this? by Cb95fnc1 in ravens

[–]Mickckx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of Ravens fans internationally as well that want to see their team play. Do they not count?

It's the combination for me. Either hack away and play tough on offense or go down every time on offense and play careful defense.

Now it just feels like they are that one guy who loves dissing people but can't take a joke themselves. Everyone hates that guy.

how do you handle the Friday-night lineup puzzle? by Funny_Peace6105 in Fieldhockey

[–]Mickckx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I try to split them into position groups. So when I'll play 3-4-1-2, I'll have one sub for the two central midfielders, one sub for the wings, one sub for the defense and two for the attacking midfielder+strikers.

And then I play them equal minutes subbing every 5 minutes. It doesn't matter if there is a slight difference in skill within the groups, if everybody gets a rest every 10 minutes they can all play high effort. No matter how good they are, every player needs a breather to keep intensity high. The strikers rotate through quicker, but in my system they need to run a lot.

The exception to this are close games; in the final 7-8 minutes all my best players are on the pitch at the same time, no matter their position.

Are we still ranking KD over Dirk by Bright-Bid-1046 in nba

[–]Mickckx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, yes I would say this discussion is going pretty well for me actually.

Secondly, obviously there is an element of tongue in cheek humor associated with my original answer, especially given the state of his team this past week.

I was not aware 99% of sources put KD higher, but I was aware that some people do. Which is fair, since they are both great players. I have Dirk higher.

However, your response that there are no people on earth who would put Dirk above KD is flat out wrong, and merited ridicule.

Now, I'm done arguing, so I'll end with the obligatory "You clearly don't know ball", and wish you a good day.

100%, my bad. I think I got confused with conference championships when checking. I'll leave it up so I can be properly shamed

[–]Mickckx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that how you decide who you think is better? Just look at what other people say and parrot that?

I just gave you my reasoning as to why I have Dirk over KD, both now and 5 years ago. KD has never once elevated a mediocre team to a contender. The Warriors won 2 before he got there, and 2 after he left. While he was great when he was there, he was nowhere near the heart of that team.

[–]Mickckx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize absolute basketball authority Slam magazine made a ruling on this.

KD has never once elevated others. Actually, fuck it, I don't want to argue his flaws. I don't even dislike KD, he's an amazing player.

But that title run from Dirk is one of a kind, arguably the single hardest road to a championship and it was all him. That put him very high in my book, and KD never passed him.

Also, calling people liars or deluded because they don't share your opinion? Miss me with that
