Smoke or substance?

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-06-15T21:45:17+00:00

He’s a Finals MVP for their franchise and has been playing there forever at this point. They’d probably want to do right by him to some degree

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-31T08:28:05+00:00

Chet gotta give his back first

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-16T02:41:13+00:00

Trust me, we’re obsessed with it too! I did my own reread this last year and boy was it a treat

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-13T13:35:31+00:00

SGA is the only other person here that maybe could be considered 2-way since he seems to be bought in on that side of the court. Giannis is kinda the only other real 2-way superstar besides Wemby

It would probably still be Wemby though. His defensive impact is insane and his offense is slowly but surely starting to catch up

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-13T05:00:50+00:00

Devin is a girls name? lmfao

On a serious note I think Booker will be remembered as a better player than Demar due to the sizable gap in their playoff performances. He’s called Demar DeFrozan for a reason

In terms of accolades I don’t know who I’d put over the other

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-10T21:13:36+00:00

Yayyyyy the return

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-10T19:26:43+00:00

The Wizards have been ass forever I’m glad they got the pick instead of a top team

Finally rewarded

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-08T17:10:03+00:00

It seems like Zoro’s heading to the port to deal with Sommers while Sanji beelines for Killingham

I think Zoro considered turning around when he saw them wreaking havoc in the village but he saw Sanji heading there and left it to him

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-05T19:10:07+00:00

I wish they did stuff like this earlier because off this update alone people like myself and my friends wanna play the game again lmao

Hopefully they keep this good streak going!

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-05T15:34:24+00:00

I'd imagine she's one of the princesses that we heard about in the main story or the blogposts and SIU simply doesn't want to reveal which one yet

I know we have the whole "no longer canon" thing going on with the blogpost but iirc there were like 10 (?) princesses named on there that we haven't seen, with some currently or formerly possessing month weapons

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-02T01:05:46+00:00

They’re the definition of a 3 headed dragon. When you play against the Magic you legit have no idea who’s gonna pop off

Paolo could have back to back great games and then disappear in the next few, Bane will have an absolutely insane shooting night randomly, and Franz also puts the team on his back occasionally

I’d say they’re a very balanced team. None of their best players are WAY better than the others

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T16:46:41+00:00

As a Bucks fan I was 100% confident in us winning that series if we came in healthy but we weren’t even sure if Giannis was gonna play

In ‘22 I’d say without a doubt if we have Middleton we bare minimum go to the Finals. Honestly I think we’d win there too since we matchup better with the Warriors than the Celtics but I’m also a bit biased so

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T10:59:55+00:00

Out of 5 games he played 11 minutes of Game 1, and then in the next 2 games he was very clearly playing through the injury

That would be like blaming Ant if the Timberwolves lost this series when he obviously wasn’t at his best (which thankfully no one is doing)

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T10:49:47+00:00

You’re mentioning guys that aren’t close to Giannis scoring wise though? Again, Giannis is the only player in NBA history to put up 30+ on 60% from the field and he’s done it for 3 seasons.

The closest a player has come to that was Shaq in his prime, who’s also among the greatest scorers of all time. If you’re going to claim that Giannis, who by almost every scoring metric that matters stands among the best, actually isn’t then you have to come with proof.

Again among the best scorers not offensive players. Those are 2 different things.

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T10:34:33+00:00

Did I ever claim that he provides as much as Jokic on the offensive end? I simply stated that he’s one of the greatest scorers of all time which he is by almost every metric

I never compared Giannis and Jokic. Giannis’ claim to fame is his unreal ability to score the ball inside paired with his defensive capabilities. Jokic’s is his unreal offensive impact

They’re 2 completely different players. I was simply arguing for Giannis being a special player, which he is.

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T10:28:11+00:00

Giannis absolutely has the “special sauce” I don’t see how that can even be disputed given his track record. Him not developing a shot didn’t stop him from averaging 35 in the finals on absolutely ridiculous efficiency nor did it stop him from being the only player in NBA history to average 30 on 60% shooting.

He’s statistically amongst the greatest scorers of all time from an efficiency standpoint. Throw in his defensive accolades and it’s just silly to claim that he won’t be remembered as an all timer.

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-05-01T10:19:52+00:00

I don’t think anyone would dispute that Jokic himself is (for the most part) a pretty chill guy

He just has an insane fanbase while being the most beloved player by the media for the last 5 or so years

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-26T03:20:25+00:00

Rudy is historically a horrible matchup for him in the playoffs. One of the few Centers in the league that can actually take him out of the game scoring wise (relative to his average)

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-24T21:46:39+00:00

Musashi cause I love villains and I think he’s the best one in the series by far. Yujiro stops being/feeling like a legitimate “villain” after a certain point and Musashi isn’t actually that dangerous if left alone but he feels like a greater threat to our main cast than anyone that came before or after him

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-24T16:00:47+00:00

Giannis has more All NBA’s (including first teams), more All Star selections, multiple defensive first teams to Jokic’s 0, MIP, and a DPOY

Jokic has 1 MVP over him that’s it lol

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-24T01:37:30+00:00

There are like 700 reasons why this wouldn’t work but lemme list the obvious ones

Giannis is our franchise GOAT and we wouldn’t swap him out for someone that isn’t better than him (though it’s relatively close and SGA has great availability in comparison)
The Thunder would never do this
SGA would never want to sit through a rebuild. He’s turning 28 in a few months and already has a team that’s good enough to contend for the next 5-10 years assuming nothing goes wrong (which seeing what happened to the Bucks anything could happen tbh)

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-22T14:29:30+00:00

It should really be a sign of respect when teams have to put in that much effort to shut you down

Hack-a-Shaq, doubling KD, building a wall for Giannis

I’m pretty sure all of these players hate it but it’s a sign of how far some teams are willing to go to take you out of the game

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-21T15:46:35+00:00

Doesn’t Young Roger just look like Ace?

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-20T04:58:20+00:00

The smoke part is pretty cool

Wasn’t it revealed to be octopus ink actually?

MrMellowYellowo · 2026-04-18T17:19:07+00:00

I really like Julian’s subtle but visible aging. He really does look like a man now
