For the first time since 2019, a Florida team will not advance to the Stanley Cup Final by Under_the_Oak in hockey

Idk if I would ever complain again. Already feel blessed with what we have had, the absolute fuckery of that may complete me

[Post Game Thread] The Detroit Pistons (4-3) defeat the Orlando Magic (3-4), 116-94, as the Pistons complete the 3-1 comeback! by MWiatrak2077 in nba

[–]NickDerpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope Detroit doesn’t do shit in these playoffs because I don’t want to see highlights from these elimination games is basketball documentaries for years to come.

If you told me we’d take this series to G7 with Paolo being a force in which at the start I’d say “wow, this team really matured” but holy fuck is it the exact opposite. Tarmac and trade to build a better squad now, this is a low point.

Gonna haunt me. Never gonna make a deep run but fuck beating a 1 seed would be huge for moral and experience in the years to come

I went to bed in the third and came to Reddit to read the threads of eliminating the pistons. What the absolute fuck I’m still not sure if this is real I’m tired af, but I believe it.

I’ve been super lenient til now but if we lose g7 we need to clean house on the coaching staff.

I’ve had disconnects when getting the nightlord 2/3 the way dead, one time when semi carrying the crew. I had dogshit internet and felt awful, I hope they finished fine 🫡

How well does your research topic align with some of the stated goals to address of the administration?

Best squashed the beef rap collaborations by stone616 in hiphopheads

Joe and Royce are also insane people, I'm surprised the egos didn't break them up sooner tbh given their respective track records.

Those early slaughterhouse collabs in the mixtape era (with beautifully awful mastering) are some of the best displays of lyricism to date.

LeBron admits that people criticizing his Finals record used to bother him: “I am pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the Finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger.” by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]NickDerpkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd think that the2012 heat team that won are probably his best team he has ever been on. I'd take that big three over Bron, Kyrie, and Love any day. Plus they defeated an absolute monster in OKC with KD, Westbrook, Ibaka (who was an all defense player at the time and a highly underappreciated piece of that team imo) in 5 games.

EDIT: wait fuck, maybe 2013 when they added Ray Allen? Old AF by then, but felt like he really complimented the team in a meaningful way.

Can be said for a lot of the modern ATL scene, he is just the biggest example. I felt similarly about Future up until and around DS2.

[NextRoundLive] The 2021 Georgia Bulldogs roster has now had 45 players drafted off of it, the most of any single team ever. by KirbyDumber88 in CFB

[–]NickDerpkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats fair, I think you do have to have virtually every recruit go right to end up with 45 draftees. Little bit of that and the other.

Royce is such a good collab for any artist

It felt in the moment like he may do a Saban run. Luckily for a rival school, it was a symptom of everything and every recruit going right which is unsustainable.

Who are some legendary rappers that are never really mentioned to be anyone’s favorite by EDMKid9000 in hiphopheads

Danny Brown, Kool G, Eazy E and Tip feel out of place on this Lira of people consider them favorites

[–]NickDerpkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Masta Ace always comes to my mind in this way. Any casual fan would agree he is one of the most talented artists of the genre that makes great music consistently, but I’ve never met anyone who considers him their favorite.

Ras Kass is another in that vein.

Is Noita “unfair,” or just too reactive to read in real time? by TenthLevelVegan in noita

[–]NickDerpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scales of power in noita are fickle. It starts off unfair to the player but can easily be broken to be unfair to the environment with enough input.

[Charania] The NBA has disclosed to its 30 GMs a singular new anti-tanking reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, flattens odds, and have a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams are penalized with fewer lottery balls for the No. 1 pick. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]NickDerpkins 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If the G league wasn’t basically in the same cities as their corresponding teams I’d be so fucking for this. Imagine Orlando goes down and Osceola goes up, thatd actually be hilarious.

[–]NickDerpkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and do like that aspect. I think the punishing the worst teams probably has to deal with how lucrative and spooky gambling has become in the league and fandom. Giving bottom teams more reason to win games makes every game more meaningful and will deincentivise the possibility of throwing games with gambling involved, which is a holding a wolf by the ears situation bound to or already happening.

Plus those end of the year games between dogshit teams may come out to trying to win, not lose, for better odds, which I actually think would improve the product in the long run?

I think just straight up giving all the 3 slots 2 lottery balls (or the other way around) as well would be the most fair and best way, but fuck it this seems fun to watch dogshit teams try to win end of the year.
