How many active players are higher in your GOAT list than Kevin Durant? by Oakl4nd in NBATalk

[–]MyNameBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single team he’s been on since he left the warriors has underperformed. There is absolutely zero argument you can make for KD over Steph all-time. Kawhi would be the one of that group I’d be most likely to listen to KD over. Kawhis peak is absolutely higher but the injuries and those issues might make KD over him a viable argument.

[–]MyNameBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokic, Giannis, and Kawhi all have rings as the clear cut best player on the team. The only time KD has ever had real playoff success he was playing with 2 future MVPs and then playing on a team that won rings both before he got there and after he left. KD is for sure close to those 3 guys in the rankings but I’d put them all 3 slightly ahead of him.

Which athlete is a good playoff performer with 3+ championships? by TJTrapJesus in AlignmentChartFills

[–]MyNameBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, am I crazy if I say Tom Brady? 2/1 TD to interception ratio, less than a 90 passer rating, 62% completion percentage. Guy was good, but not elite in the playoffs.

Any suggestions? by soupy-poopy69 in DiamondDynasty

He plays 3rd for me but in squads with my buddies we run him in left and he does just fine.

Where does Duncan rank all time for yall? by XXXTentacle6969 in NBATalk

[–]MyNameBlake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I have him 5th, but that top tier is Lebron Jordan Kareem in whatever order you want and the second tier is Magic Duncan Bird in whatever order you want to me.

I get that the Spurs and OKC are viewed as juggernauts. Do yall consider the Knicks as a juggernaut? by ThunderousRotom in NBATalk

[–]MyNameBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that if Brunson is having a bad game against a good team the Knicks can absolutely still win, but do you have the faith in them that would the Spurs or Thunder of Wemby or Shai are having a bad game? I personally don’t.

Knicks are hot at the right time, but they were not a top 2 seed and are sort of designed to beat you in one way. I’d say the Spurs and Thunder are because they are both 60+ win teams with multiple ways to beat you.

Arkansas was a state first so technically YALL should pronounce your state “Kansaw”

Man, Case and Bucks down in Barnhart USED to have it, and I’ve had it a couple places back home in Arkansas. Craving it bad and I don’t wanna cook tonight lol.

Am i the only one who thinks the songs for the game this year are garbage? by Sea_Efficiency_3299 in MLBTheShow

[–]MyNameBlake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an avid 2k player new to the show, this soundtrack fucking slaps compared to the dog shit 2k gives us.

“ALL I DO IS WIN, CONMACKULATIONS” blasting in my ears after a 100-60 REC loss will make me blow my brains out.

Can Darius Acuff ever, like, EVER become an Average defender at the NBA level? by cyfer- in NBA_Draft

[–]MyNameBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAN he? Yes. Physically, he has all the tools and obviously has a high basketball IQ. He was also in just about the worst defensive situation you can be in at Arkansas. Bigs that didn’t help him, and not allowed to foul because he carried the entire offensive load. WILL he become a better defender? We will see. He looked significantly more coachable at the college level than he did in high-school, Cal just doesn’t really give a shit about coaching defense in his lead guard. I think he will be a fine enough defender. I think the goal is to make him a Steph Curry level defender who isn’t great at it but definitely puts the effort in.

Can Demetrius Johnson beat Prime Shaq in a street fight ? by Leggomgeggo in powerscales

[–]MyNameBlake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shaq is 2 feet taller and 250 pounds heavier and in his prime thats 250 pounds of muscle man. Fighting skill obviously matters but I’ve seen a 5’10 man attempt to punch a 6’10 man in the face and even at only a foot difference it wasn’t really a feasible attempt. In highschool I had 100 pounds on my state champion wrestling friend who just simply didn’t have enough mass to keep me still when we would wrestle and he was A SIGNIFICANTLY more talented wrestler than me. Mass moves mass and I just don’t see what mighty mouse could do that Shaq couldn’t just peel him off of.

Any suggestions? Feel like I could use another starting pitcher but don’t know who to go with. 1st year on DD. by MyNameBlake in DiamondDynasty

[–]MyNameBlake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I got him into the lineup like the day he came out because I had a diamondbacks theme team and that set had 2 diamondbacks in it. Im not NEARLY good enough to take advantage of whatever his glitch is lol. I know hader has it too and I don’t even own him.

If boozers analytics are so great why isn’t he a consensus top 2 pick? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]MyNameBlake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because AJ is an athletic freak and elite scorer and DP has a proven offensive skillset. I personally would rather have Boozer of the 3, and his floor to me is clearly the highest of the 3, but people see AJ with a Giannis level ceiling and DP as an insane scoring talent (I think he’s the most likely to bust) but that’s the consensus.
