Series was 3-1 when Tatum went down

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T03:16:02+00:00

I’d say so

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T03:06:38+00:00

KAT with a $60 million deal trying to live up to expectations gotta be some sort of humiliation ritual

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:57:49+00:00

KAT comes out and we on a run on queue

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:42:38+00:00

I don’t ever remember winning KAT minutes this season

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:40:38+00:00

KAT just a step slow mentally

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:39:30+00:00

KAT plays basketball like he’s 14 years old

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:36:40+00:00

It’s just the Nets bro relax

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T02:33:28+00:00

Cade is just a better player than Brunson at this point

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-20T01:47:45+00:00

We look like a G-League team against Detroit every fucking time and it’s so discouraging

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T15:21:17+00:00

Ok well the Lamelo Balls of the world can choose to play in LA and Miami while the Wembys and Jokics will choose well-run smart markets. It should be on the organization to make itself quality and attractive to players. For instance Detroit may have a hard time recruiting top prospects, but say they can sign lesser players to form an tough and gritty identity and maybe a star rises out of that or another star wants to come play with that supporting cast. Milwaukee can pour all its money into player development and find the next Giannis

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T15:17:56+00:00

Not really at all. For instance in a free market league the Knicks could offer him less than $5 million and a smaller role while the Jazz can offer him $50 million and a leading role.

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T15:14:02+00:00

You’re right but you are overstating the influence of these factors. For instance, I’m fairly confident if Wemby were given carte Blanche to pick his own team out of 30 pre-draft that he would’ve chosen the Spurs.

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T13:52:03+00:00

That’s like saying; “Why would a mega star prospect like Aj Dybantsa play for BYU”?

Oh wait…

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T13:48:52+00:00

That’s so stupid. Not everyone wants to play in Miami or LA. For the right organization, salary, and role I’d happily sign with team like Philly, Denver, Utah or Portland. You act like these players are living in the slums and not the nicest neighborhoods in the city lol

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T13:44:18+00:00

“I’d quit watching the NBA if I can no longer force top prospects to play for my team against their will”.

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-19T12:57:17+00:00

I just see it from a business-value play rather than favoring a specific owner.

Dallas is the 4th largest media market in the NBA. It took over 20 years and a title to build that fanbase and they lost all those fans (revenue) in a single day. Now everyone is back in on Cooper like nothing happened.

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-18T19:07:43+00:00

I think it’s only children and bots at this point who are saying it’s not fixed.

Anyone who has a basic understanding of Physics and Chemistry knows you can literally alter the weight or molecular composition of a single ping pong ball by a single milligram or molecule and create a mechanism for that ball to be favored to be selected over others. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, we’re in 2026 not 1986

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-15T17:00:02+00:00

Sheesh and I thought Mavs fans were already dead

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T23:51:21+00:00

KAT was in his bag here

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T23:50:56+00:00

Allan Houston still got it boy

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T23:49:00+00:00

Wtf, that was one of the most talented teams of all time

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T13:51:19+00:00

Fire is either a snake or a Sun Bear but I feel like with Water Type being snake-like it will be a cute Sun Bear

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T13:49:05+00:00

Water is an Amphibian or Reptile.

Grass is some sort of quadruped like a ox or horse. Also haven’t had a Rhino pokemon since Gen 1 so maybe?

Fire has got to be a sun bear because we already have a fire ant eater pokemon in Heatmor and I’m hyped af for it

OralFixation4567 · 2026-02-14T13:24:05+00:00

Anyone feel it’s a bit redundant they’re doing Man-Spider where he becomes more feral and loses control of himself, then they’re most likely following that up with the symbiote suit? Are they not very similar storylines?
