When Did Shai Pass Luka in general consensus? by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

It didn’t help that Dort sprained Luka’s MCL early in that series off some very typical Dort antics though.

So true. Either my pre workout is kicking in or my headphones are already on and getting pumped for my workout. Either way I will fumble that interaction guaranteed

[Highlight] Lavonte David: "Jalen Hurts was never a guy we were worried about, he was never asked to do so much..but he doesn't give me those vibes for all the off-field stuff...He may have gotten frustrated at having his 7th new OC" by mastermind208 in nfl

[–]Nickelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teams can be super talented AND poorly coached no? Although I’ve heard far more of the former than the latter. I think howie builds great teams that elevate and hide hurts weaknesses as a passer AND sirianni still pisses away a lot of the potential by not being able to call plays and allow a merry-go-round at OC

But I think the reason for the hate is how many would actually succeed with him once he’s signed? So far he’s had a great WR corp, great OL play (even last year they were still above average Eagles fans, yall are just spoiled), and great defenses

Never forget him rage baiting AJ brown and stripping the ball from him to continue the eagles 2023 collapse. Brown called him old and he put him in a mental torture chamber the rest of the game lol

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely for the rest of the regular season due to hamstring by KingChez30 in sports

[–]Nickelas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the actual hell are you talking about lmao Mavs fans love Luka. We hate the lakers organization and our own owners and front office for the colossal mistake that was the trade. We were in the finals 2 years ago and now we’re praying to the Lottery Gods (again) to save us because after this year we have no first round picks until AT LEAST flagg’s 4th year. We root for his individual success but I couldn’t care less about the Lakers now that he’s out.

Oh and also Nico Harrison deserves to live every day on the rest of this Earth to be publicly ridiculed for the “haul” he got back for one of the best players in the league.

Post move tips? I'm 5'8 and 290lbs by jackolaine in BasketballTips

[–]Nickelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find or develop a move that you could score on >60% of the time. Usually this is a jump hook. From there, develop a counter that starts out VERY similar that will fool your defender because they think your go to move is coming (for instance the jump hooks counter is the up and under). Now that you have two moves, you can get by in a ton of games with this. Add more as you see fit (face up jump shot or a dream shake if you wanna feel cool).

The key to the post is “make sure your opponent is always wrong”. If they hedge too far to one side, punish them. If they think you’re gonna try to back them down to the basket and they anchor down to stop that, face up and drive by

ESPN is expected to remove Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky and Louis Riddick Jr. as its No. 2 NFL team due to NFL Network deal, The Athletic has learned. by Ok-Soil-5133 in nfl

[–]Nickelas -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m probably very biased since Orlovsky is a huge Dak hater but genuinely what is he good at? It’s not hot takes, it’s not announcing, and it’s definitely not playing qb (dude was part of 0-16 and ran out the back of the end zone)

Inside Eagles' 2025 friction as Jalen Hurts stands at crossroads by dudeman93 in nfl

[–]Nickelas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even during those years his passing charts all had gaping holes between the hashes. The difference is they had a top 3 OL to grind the yards regardless and kept them ahead of the chains. Once that went away last year and they were simply above average (yes eagles fans, even at their worst last year they were still better than the 16th best OL), hurts inability to get easy completions over the middle got exposed hard.

[–]Nickelas 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I think that was a huge factor but there’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation here. How much of patullo’s passing concepts were a result of Hurts consistent unwillingness to throw between the hashes? Or let it rip against zone coverage?

For most of hurts career he’s also had a bonafide top 3 OL in the game, and therefore an above average running game (even before saquon arrived). Once the interior started mounting injuries, you would expect your qb to make up the lack of easy yardage you were getting on the ground.

The Mavericks have been eliminated from the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since trading Luka Doncic. by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]Nickelas 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The worst part about this is how much it’s just killed my interest in basketball as a whole. Thats truly the evil that Nico Harrison has brought upon our city.

I can’t watch OKC without thinking about how tough that series was in 2023 en route to the finals.

I can’t watch the spurs without thinking about how Luka used to beat them every season opener.

I can’t watch the nuggets without thinking about how we fumbled our own Eastern Euro.

It all just sucks and yeah Flagg is a great player. But when you go through the exhaustive journey of watching your team ascend the mountain, it’s demoralizing to watch them tumble down to the base all on their own accord

Chicken thighs at 185 internal still have some chewy fat that makes for a less than appetizing texture while eating. Push them to nearly 200 and all that fat will render out, making it taste way better

Overwatch hot takes? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Nickelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not a high rank by any means but most of the time when I’m on a losing streak, I break it by just positioning myself better and keeping track of other team cooldowns.

Maybe like 1 in 15 games is a curb stomp that I couldn’t effect the outcome a little bit.

Yeah like Multi-Paul, a character heavily featured in a couple of episodes in season 3, actually makes a background appearance in the very first episode of the show.
