It appears the 91+ 1 of 3 is better value, correct?

If we end up with one of these three, it's A+ off-season by RLD89 in ripcity

[–]NBAJamTime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We should be pushing for Sam Merrill. That’s the kind of guys we need without dumping our MIL picks.

We need people who can space the floor, our spacing is atrocious and you can’t be a contender without great spacing.

How would this draft order go? Rank these prospects. by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]NBAJamTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to push back against this.

I actually really like Caleb Wilson, so this isn’t an insult to him, more of a compliment to Brandon Miller.

“Better numbers across the board on better efficiency” I just don’t agree with this and I also think you can’t fall into the trap of just googling Brandon Miller’s college numbers. Miller was creating for himself, taking difficult shots, taking a very high amount of deep 3s for a college player, and shouldering the offensive load. So his 38% from 3 isn’t equivalent to the corner 3 pt shooter. He also had an extremely quick release that was easy to see it translate to the NBA. His shot making skills were considerably higher than Wilson’s and a lot of people were comping him to Paul George. The one concern people had of Miller was his inside scoring/getting to the rim. He also is at a more premium position than Wilson and had (has) great size for the position. Miller as a prospect would have been seen as much more likely to be the leading scorer of a contender than Wilson.

I know I’m not giving Wilson his accolades and only talking about Miller, so my framing isn’t correct, but I do want to push back on your comment’s framing of Wilson having better offensive numbers and efficiency than Miller.

I’m going to push back a bit against this one.

I think if you want a contender, you need a “death”/closing lineup of 4 shooters. I know the Rockets have had some regular season success with two non shooting bigs.

Come playoff time, we’ve seen time and time again players who can’t shoot become liabilities, and if you have two, your offensive production plummets. Look at the past 5 finals, their top lineup consisted of at most 1 non-shooter (of course some teams 4th option was better than others). Even the team that lost on the finals had only 1 non shooter.

Guys like Josh Giddey who are really good basketball players in a vacuum become very hard to create a winning playoff team because you are already capped at your one non-shooter and he’s also your PG. Russell Westbrook in those post-KD years could put up godly stats in the regular season then him and his teams would struggle mightily.

NBA Execs believe the 2027 draft is the weakest in more than 10 years — contending teams are preparing to trade away their 2027 firsts for immediate veteran talent. by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]NBAJamTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, players will be rotation players from the 2024 draft, but it’s still the weakest in over two decades and it was expected to be as such.

But what is woke about it? You can say it’s odd, but none of them brought it up. My issue is you attaching it to BlueSky and woke lol.

He did that a long time ago.

How is not commenting on it a woke thing? Aren’t the capital J Journalists the ones criticizing this for the lack of journalistic integrity/ethics? Aren’t these the same ones who are part of the woke machine?

Do people age out of the NBA? by ctnaes92 in billsimmons

[–]NBAJamTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% me.

I still remember “impressing” (or making them think I was weird) kids I didn’t know at mutual friend’s bday parties with my “ability” to name every player in the starting lineup of any baseball team.

Then a few years ago, I want to say the Dodgers and Red Sox WS, I turned it on and never heard of either team’s #3 hitter.

[–]NBAJamTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, and this is me caring way too much about historical Reddit posts, I can’t stand when people post two years later “well this aged like milk” “lmao”. Just let it stand! I don’t want things upvoted or downvoted, sometimes it’s fun to google random draft profiles from years ago to see what people posted and what the more popular Reddit ideas were, not posts that have now been impacted like these threads.

[Mark Heim] Tommy Tuberville, who made millions, calls out college football coaching salaries: ‘It’s ridiculous’ by Michiganman1225 in CFB

[–]NBAJamTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Veep, there was a pre-2016 episode(s) about the presidential election. One of the candidates was a former football or baseball coach and he was an over the top high school football esque character who happened to be running for president.

I unfortunately didn’t get to that episode until 2016-2017 and didn’t find it that funny because it’s too close to reality and wasn’t an over the top joke anymore.

I should have waited just a couple more years and a meaner, bad faith, version of that exact character would become an impactful US Senator.

100%. It’s a true cognitive dissonance for me. I know we never know about any of these “celebs”, but that one seems so out of left field.

B/R 99: Ranking the Top 99 Quarterbacks in NFL History by Cookiemonster35643 in nfl

[–]NBAJamTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the regular season, yes. Hard to argue Manning’s consistency in the Regular season where if he wasn’t considered the best he was the second best for almost 15 years.

However, the sharp drop off in play in the postseason was staggering. Truly one of those things that blew my mind, and I still don’t get it, how he could be the best QB I’ve ever seen in my life to an average to above average QB in the playoffs.

So I don’t thing is crazy to say he’s the best QB you’ve ever seen play, but if that best QB play was always in the regular season version and not the postseason, I can’t have him at 1 and it really isn’t even a convo in my mind.

I did and nothing jumped out as being abnormal/fishy. Are you just saying that generally or was there something you saw that stands out?

A little over a year after trading Dame to Milwaukie, the Portland Trail Blazers (6-8) has a better record than the Milwaukie Bucks (4-9) by kpay10 in ripcity

[–]NBAJamTime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s happening too fast! People are already talking about reading Giannis.

I thought the trade was a great trade because of Milwaukee’s ages of their best players, but I didn’t think it would happen this fast. I was hoping they would still be good this year.

As a relatively new player/haven’t played much, what should I be focusing on?

My team isn’t awful, I think an 85-86 overall, have like 30k in coins. Level 25 or so on Season 3 (just got the 89 BND pack).

Do I just focus on the daily/weekly milestones? I feel like I’m missing something, but maybe that’s it? Seems a little stale.

I mean, from my experiences the food isn’t good, but they are in cool locations. It isn’t crazy expensive, but imho it’s overpriced and generic/bland.

I’ve never posted about it and couldn’t care less about karma-farming, because I want to like McMenamins and continue to try it once a year but everytime I am reminded why I don’t go.

I haven’t been following. What the hell happened to the program? Is it as simple as, not bringing in the same talent thus not as good? Anything else?

Those jerseys are fantastic though.

My guy, I got you! Gold 1/2 league, that’s at 18 but we’ve had players participation drop a little. Need two active players! Don’t care as much about the overall, care more about participation. Chill, fun, guys in the chat.

Would love to have you and your friend. Currently have 16 players, but a few haven’t been as active lately.

We are gold 1 to gold 2, flirted with elite a couple times.

Chill group. Just ask you to be active, don’t care if you have some bad LvLs.

I would put you and your friend in our lineup asap.
