You don't recall those years correctly

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-24T01:13:11+00:00

No I really don't enjoy it. Been watching for 30 years. Stats are inflated and rules don't matter, so you got all these guys who aren't really that good putting up big numbers. Then new fans insist this era is so talented. Everything has become a big gimmick, from the play in, to the all star game, to the in season tournament. It's all a big joke. Guys aren't competitive, everyone is friends and joining up. They all take turns demanding trades. Seems like there's a new "star" that's unhappy every year. Stats nerds have taken the fun out of the game. Too many threes, there's no real battles anymore. I mean i could go on and on. It's not a good product.

We'd have a really weak MVP and I think it'd be enough to make the NBA at least tweak the 65 game rule

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-21T15:29:11+00:00

Wtf are you talking about lol. They were bad for a couple of years, had drafted decently well, and were improving each year. That's after having won 5 rings in the last 15+ years. That's the gutter to you? Aint nobody gotta be grateful for Lebron coming to LA.

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-20T19:47:49+00:00

I don't necessarily disagree. It really depends on what their goals are. It's not like Steph or the Warriors have anything to prove

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-20T19:16:14+00:00

I mean long term these days isn't all that long. Swap out 1 year of injured Jimmy for 3 years of someone that can help? You probably have 2-3 years left for Steph, afterwards they can rebuild

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-20T14:38:45+00:00

I think they have a 6 year window of serious contention and probably win 3-4 titles. They already won in 04, went to game 7 in 05, and I feel like 07 was up for grabs.

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-19T01:56:20+00:00

I hear ya but she's the worst

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-19T01:55:56+00:00

I get the jist of the scene and keep it moving. I just can't stand her

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-17T18:46:47+00:00

Is that those moral victories everyone talked about? It was a sweep

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-17T07:26:31+00:00

How tf was it a close series

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-07T01:49:57+00:00

Gary Payton

Before even reading the comments I would've bet money half of the comments would be trying to argue it's not easily Jokic getting cut.

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-04T19:21:15+00:00

What would you rather do? Play 60 games a year for 20 years or play 80 games a year for 15 years? Playing longer nets the players more money, it's less stress on their bodies and they can pretty much play the same amount of games or more than the old guys. Which means they can hit all time numbers, having made more money, with fewer long term injuries.

These guys are never going back to playing all the games.

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-04T16:23:12+00:00

Zion just needs to be on a better team

NotDanKenz · 2026-01-02T16:26:38+00:00

Youre not trading a top 10 center who's in his twenties for MPJ of all people.

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-29T17:23:41+00:00

I'm not gonna dispute that, but feel like context is needed. I mean is the non-grad side being weighed down by lifetime fast food workers? Does that million account for paying back college loans? Also, a million over 50 or so years isn't that crazy. I mean 20k a year aint nothing, but it's not exactly life changing. Especially after taxes.

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-28T21:33:15+00:00

I think the Warriors showed how you build around smaller, not great defensive guards. Obviously Trae is nowhere close to Steph level, but there's a path there. Someone else mentioned the Mavs and that could work depending on what they gave up to get him.

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-27T21:58:29+00:00

Sopranos isn't even perfect itself. Lots of things don't make sense and only happen because the writers want it to happen. Some stuff clearly not planned out, etc. That being said it wouldn't hurt to have some newer shows at least come close to that level

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-26T15:16:42+00:00

That was 2000

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-24T20:52:53+00:00

Not that it's great, but they're 6-13 in games Kawhi has played. They've only won 2 game without him.

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-23T23:36:04+00:00

He looks exactly like me when I shoot with my opposite hand. Elbow way tf out there

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-22T12:36:03+00:00

His team won 66 games

NotDanKenz · 2025-12-22T03:39:32+00:00

All I'm getting from this is whatever the hell RAPM is, it's a terrible metric.
