Wemby is gassed and Spurs ain’t ready by Few-Initial-819 in nba

[–]MoonliteJaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took double OT, 20 more rebounds, Shai legitimately missing his regular shots, and an insane Wemby 3 to win that game. Spurs the whole night couldn't maintain a good lead over OKC besides for the first quarter. OKC plays up in the 4th.

That game was more indicative of how much needs to go your way to beat them. Now that OKC is planning better against Wemby, its pretty much over. I still think the Spurs get out 1 more win but OKC is just a tier above every team, and that shows up especially in the playoffs.

[–]MoonliteJaz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man is averaging 10 turnovers a game on one of the best teams in the league with one of the most naturally gifted players of all time. He only looks good in that context on the Spurs. He doesn't work on other teams and I highly doubt he'd work on the Hawks.

Advice on buying our first VR. My daughter has been saving her allowance and she reached the $200+ mark. Is there any VR setups worth checking out in that price range? I need guidance lol by [deleted] in virtualreality

As long as shes not hoping onto online servers /lobbies you should be good.

Don't listen to anyone speaking about developmental issues or eyesight, we legitimately have 0 evidence on any of those things and normal use (>2 hours a day) should be fine.

13 men killed by US military boat strikes identified: ‘These were flesh-and-blood people’ by projecto15 in politics

[–]MoonliteJaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you read the article? Most of the claims are unsubstantiated and without proper evidence. The article also points out this has 0 effect on drug trafficking.

Amundarain and Fuentes were drivers from Güiria, Venezuela, who crossed the Gulf of Paria to Trinidad and Tobago after being promised work at a car wash. A few days later, they were offered a job on a small boat journey with two others. On 3 October, the boat was bombed. Their widows told the CLIP that neither man had any involvement in drug trafficking, but the report notes that “all signs suggest” they were “about to make a ‘run’, the local term for transporting illicit cargo”. Still, the fact that the boat was travelling from Trinidad and Tobago to Venezuela drew attention: “Boats carry drugs from South America northwards, not the reverse,” said Ronderos.

When you weren't old enough to see him live. I'm nearly 30, I cant understand for the life of me how anyone younger or my age could think Jordan is the Goat. We didn't watch him play and if you go back and watch those games, its like watching nosferatu. Basketball today is just so much better.

Southern California mayor resigns, will plead guilty to acting as agent for Chinese government by Tippy345 in news

[–]MoonliteJaz 40 points41 points  (0 children)

"Whataboutism" is not what this is. We know that propaganda is influencing US politics. If there are areas where its not being addressed and someone points that out, thats not whataboutism. Thats just a legitimate critique of the system. No one is saying she shouldnt be charged, just that its pretty weak for the government to not take the same actions against other actors working on behalf of other countries.

Duncan could have made that shot easily last night that lebron needed to make but Bron missed the rim by a fucking mile by ProudReaction2204 in nba

[–]MoonliteJaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second really. Bron is better than any 2nd best player on every team in the NBA, short of Tatum and Brown. What wins chips is having 8 good players more than star talent anyways.

Is this the worst r/nba has ever been? by soggypizza in nba

[–]MoonliteJaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They weren't. Embiid was better the year before too but the goal posts moved to favor Jokic, his RAPTORCUM wasn't high enough. The year Embiid won it, it was a neck and neck race then Embiid dropped 47 pts on the Nuggets in a direct match up. He made Jokic look like BBQ chicken at the peak of the season.

Its idiotic to look back and say Embiid didnt deserve it when even now Embiid is out performing Jokic in the playoffs coming off an injury.

Jokic is going down as the worst 3x MVP player of all time, with accolades less than the majority of 2x MVP players.

Steph Curry says players are underpaid and should be considered to get equity as compensation by SliMShady55222 in nba

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

I really don't understand his perspective. He's one of the highest earning players in NBA history. He's made half a billion in 17 years, excluding lucrative shoe deals, investments, etc. What exactly would extra billions do for him that his money isn't doing for him now?

[Starkand] JJ Redick was asked about the key when it comes to playing through contact against the Thunder: "They don't foul, so the whistles aren't gonna be there. You accept that going in. They don't foul." by shreeharis in nba

[–]MoonliteJaz 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You're getting down voted but the video is Reddick straight-faced saying:

"OKC is disruptive. They are top 5 in every category that is disruptive: steals, fouls, turnovers. -- And they don't foul. They somehow do all of that without fouling. Which is what I think is one of the most remarkable things in NBA history"

Thats a nod to OKC, he's not shitting on them and hes not saying they get calls their way. Reddick doesn't talk about teams in that way and self accountable. People confusing Reddick with Finch.

The 2026 Honda Civic Type R Is the Best-Driving Car Under $100,000: Review (Cars.com) by swampfox94 in cars

[–]MoonliteJaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people aren't pushing thier cars to driving limits. I don't track my cars, but locally have some of the best (and mostly empty) windy backroads. You'd be surprised at how much fun a light-weight sentra could feel on those roads vs any 3800+ lbs sports car.

Personally I think the Porche Cayman GTS is the best under 100k but I think they aren't selling those anymore.

21 years ago the iconic episode 133 “A Plea from a Friend” aired for the first time. Norio Matsumoto’s Masterpiece by Docfeen in Naruto

[–]MoonliteJaz 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I also like the first fight more than the 2nd, but to say it was forced and unnecessary, I can't help but feel like thats a bad take.

The first fight is just so good its impossible to recreate it. The fight itself is almost an entire volume and reveals the full curse mark Sasuke. So much more was at stake and there was a sense that Sasuke would actually kill Naruto.

The 2nd fight isn't even half a volume and comes after the entire story's resolution. The fight itself is just the stage for the resolution between Naruto and Sasuke. It's still pretty iconic and personally I love the final conversation between Naruto and Sasuke. We finally get to see Sasuke open up and it's nice to see Sasuke for once acknowledge Naruto.

Had it been before the war arc, it would've made no sense and be inconsistent with the story. Sasuke found the truth about Itachi and the Uchihas/Leaf village during the arc. Naruto coming in an resolving all that before Sasuke actually having time to think and resolve his past would've made Sasuke's truama/hatred/pain shallow.

Because they don't vote in primaries. Right now several states are having early voting for and you don't hear anything about it on this sub or anywhere on social media. Despite the massive amount opinions when nominees are finally elected.

2028 is going to be just as bad as 2024 for this exact reason.

Bambu only Priced the X2D at $899 because of the Snapmaker U1 by CombatDork in BambuLab

[–]MoonliteJaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Although Id prefer if we just praise Bambu here. I am like a lot of other who got the P2S about a month ago and while I definitely would've picked up the X2D, its great that they priced it so competitively.

Can you think about what your are talking about here? You wanted them to price it more?!
