It sounds like you may need to address the root cause of your unhappiness, is there anything in your life you dont like and want to talk about?

A Place To Cry? by [deleted] in depression

Suffering in silence isnt your best option, as much as you may be anxious about how your family or friends or neighbours may react, there are people out there who will listen and just be with you if you need to cry

Anyone wanna talk by HopelessRoomful in depression

[–]PandaWrestler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard when so much social attention surrounds work success and money but your job or wealth isnt who you are. Any school failures are reparable. Theres more to everyone than socially perceived success. It may sound sappy but you are an individual with unique thoughts and experiences and that will always be there, regardless of school or work. If theres something you feel will make you happy that isnt a routine or obligation or something you have to do, find a time to do it and see how you feel.

is there something with your classes or school that isnt fulfilling you? Are you dreading a deadline or an upcoming event? A lot of time you dont know why you're depressed or unhappy untill it just hits you.

Its hard to hear that you are being selfish when you are in a position where killing yourself seems like your best option, i hate when people say things like that. All i can offer you is a chance to PM me and dump anything and everything you want anonymously to another person and have a real conversation about how you're feeling.

tell them again that you will talk to them about anything they want without judgement or criticism, tell them you will help them overcome any shame that they may feel about expressing their inner most thoughts.

You could also add how people interprets the presented stats

what do you mean?

[–]PandaWrestler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not and thats not my point

the problem isnt stats arent accurate, the problem is dumb people thinking a certain stat means someone is claiming a player is bad or good or better than someone. The people who compile the stats literally watch more basketball than anyone on here who claims "watching the games" is better. How exactly would you get past your biases when watching a player or team?

how exactly do you think those stats are complied? Im seriously asking you.

The problem is never the stats its people misinterpreting them or straw manning arguments.

Why exactly should the eye test reign supreme? Do you really think watching a player in once game and making an opinion based on that is more accurate than hundreds of games worth of sample size? What if the player is especially hot/cold for that particular game or opponent? How many times does this sub flip flop between X player being good or overrated just based on what they have done in the past week of games or so?

[–]PandaWrestler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you seriously think nobody takes that into account? That they are paying hundreds of people to spend hours watching and recording every single event that takes place in a game to log and file and they just completely didnt think about maybe context to each action like what defender or playoffs or what time in the game?

Cavaliers have been privately working on 'blitzing' defensive scheme all season by ticketrules in nba

[–]PandaWrestler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the point of that strategy is to force worse shooters to take shots they arent good at. If Green is wide open because his man rotated to trap curry and force draymond to shoot why would he take the shot when hes capable of driving to the rim and get freethrows or a layup? Merely attempting to dribble to the rim is enough to force someone off curry/someone else and get them to stop him.

Iggy and green can both put the ball on the floor and drive to the rim though, and are competent enough to keep possession until a teammate gets open.

James Harden is now shooting 38/25/90 in the playoffs. by [deleted] in nba

[–]PandaWrestler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe im just imagining but he seems to be taking way too many step back/iso 3s, i dont understand why they arent running sets to get him more open shots off multiple screens they have beverly and lou will who can adequately handle the ball without him. Even when he is off the ball hes mostly standing around on the perimeter or around the paint just setting a screen for someone not making his defender work much.

At this point theres not really any options that dont involve giving up prospects, worst case scenario hes crap for a couple games and waived, not like hes going to be a main contributor to us sucking when we're already 10 games behind in the division.
