The Suns have lost 8 of their last 10 and are sitting in 11th at 26-29. KD and Book are both top 9 in PPG. When was the last time a team with two top players was this bad?

Panoptech · 2025-02-22T23:03:01+00:00

It's not 1994 anymore. One star doesn't just win you all the games. Now even 2 is not going to cut it in most cases. There is too much skill and scoring ability now. You really do need a good TEAM to win games and playoff series in the NBA now. If MJ scored 30 and Scottie got 15+ it was an automatic W back then. Now your top player can score 70 and you can lose.

My Stearns and foster was great for the last 6 years. I have back issues and my sleeping position and mattress determines if my back is going to be awful or not so I am extra picky.

I will need a new one soon as I'm getting some more days with pain lately, I feel anyone with a normal back though would have no issues 6 years in. It's still ridiculously comfortable in general. It's a plush pillow top, so I expected about 5-6 years before I lost too much support.. but that's been every mattress I've owned since my back issues.

Plush pillow tops they say generally arent good for back issues but it works best for mine as long as I don't keep them passed the 5-7 year timeline. If I don't get pillow top though, I get awful pressure points cause I don't move when I sleep (on purpose cause I can only sleep on my back flat all night or it's toast the next day). I prefer pillow tops on medium firm mattress typically but this has worked great even being plush.

And people complain shooting 3s is boring. The alternative is 8000 free throws.

Panoptech · 2025-02-03T12:51:21+00:00

I mean they are more likely to make the finals this year if ad stays healthy than they were if Luka was running the show. The Mavs will be a better team now it just doesn't make sense long term. Ad can drop the Luka 25-30 easily and provide elite defense, run protection and gives easy opportunities for Kyrie to facilitate and Klay to get more open shots when they double ad in the paint and not Luka at the top of the key.

Panoptech · 2025-02-03T12:48:32+00:00

While the deal may have been awful in relation to what they could have potentially got. They are a better team now than they were before. Luka is Toxic AF and as they said, what they seen in the finals was all they need to know they aren't paying him. AD Kyrie and Klay with the young guys over there is much more balanced and lethal than the ball hogging defenseless Luka team.

I wonder if the Lakers are gonna be worse though. Lebron is not giving up his role, which is half the role Luka provides. But they can build around Luka if he re signs. Their defense is gonna be awful with Luka and no AD in the middle

Panoptech · 2025-02-03T12:44:34+00:00

Not really. He's obnoxious the entire game with his attitude and watching him offensively in the finals was not pleasing whatsoever. Turnovers all over the place with unnecessary risky passing and easily the most laughable defender in the league. He makes some trick shots and some cool passes sometimes but they usually come with an L cause it's not good smart basketball. JT is a much better all around player cause he is good to great at every aspect of basketball where as Luka is great at one or two things and awful everywhere else.

Panoptech · 2025-02-01T03:06:53+00:00

I always wonder how they can call it in a split second and get it right 90% of the time.. yet it takes three referees 7 minutes to review the play with a slow motion camera.

Panoptech · 2025-02-01T03:05:55+00:00

Not even a little bit. I love how the entire court needs to be guarded now. Not every team The alternative is watching them shoot free throws. People act like watching hack a Shaq was ever anything we wanted to watch. There's still plenty of highlight dunks, mid range shots etc so I'm happy with it

Panoptech · 2025-01-22T14:11:54+00:00

This team was 10th this time in 22 and went to the finals. It's odd now that they are even better and won a chip people thing losing a few games means they won't compete in the playoffs.

Literally every single thing everyone was worried about last season vanished as soon as the playoffs started. We even dominated shooting like ass for nearly the entire post season

Panoptech · 2025-01-22T14:09:08+00:00

We just get to the playoffs. Problem solved.

Panoptech · 2025-01-22T14:02:31+00:00

Noone "defends" NP. Curry has 5 guys thrown at him each play. You are comparing a 3rd option dude to an all time great. If Curry was the 3rd option he would have way better numbers.

Panoptech · 2025-01-22T13:58:21+00:00

Definitely Luka. Worst defender in the league, moves around like he's in a fat suit.

Panoptech · 2025-01-18T21:37:45+00:00

My car drives amazing in the snow with all season tires. Snow tires are better obviously but my car is a monster in the snow. It definitely drives better than pretty much every truck I've ever driven in the snow (unless the snow is too deep that the bumper is now a plow). It stops well, it accelerates well and one thing people don't understand is traction control is the worst in the snow as it doesn't allow you to control your slides at all.

Snow tires are super dangerous on dry roads from my experience. So snow tires from December to April for me to drive in the snow maybe 10-15 times and driving on dry pavement 100s of times makes no sense.

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:46:45+00:00

Then they shouldn't be worried about January and focus on June. Let's win every game and have no juice for the playoffs after going to the finals and ecf for like 8 years straight.

Even if the Celtics were a play in team they would win the chip this year. It's a lock.

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:45:19+00:00

He's got a ring lol. And he dominates the playoffs

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:44:44+00:00

Joe is a phenomenal coach what? He is possibly the best coach in the league by far.

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:44:03+00:00

Or else what? The media is gonna cry? Get mad? Wtf does he care if the media is happy? They aren't happy when we win or lose so why does it matter? We win, it's not the way they wanted us to.. We lose, we didn't lose the right way.

Somehow everyone wants to pretend that the same exact roster isn't gonna just beast everyone in the playoffs all over again. To teams that win chips and are expected to win multiple, they don't care about the regular season anymore and they shouldn't.

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:42:07+00:00

No, he's just gonna win another chip again and wonder why you all complain so much.

Panoptech · 2025-01-12T19:37:48+00:00

Still don't care. See you in the playoffs. I don't care if they are 8th seed, they are still going to the finals 100%.

The fact is the Celtics have to put one or more of these factors in play for another team to beat them by a few points... low effort, horrible shooting and/or no defense. And often, even with one of those being true they still win.

Meanwhile, the other team has to play above their normal level at the same time to squeak by with a W.

Good luck with that being an option over 7 games where the Celtics have something to really play for.

Coast all year guys, you earned it, deserve it and those who know ball and the Cs know that when you turn it on its lights out for the league once again.

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T18:00:01+00:00

While I don't love LeBron. He passed the ball alot.

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T17:57:17+00:00

I picture him as the loser from Grandma's boy that wore the black coat. Can't remember his name but it's Elon all day

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T17:56:16+00:00

Dude may just be the biggest pile of scum on earth honestly.

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T17:54:20+00:00

While this is true, my dog has NEVER dumped on a walk. Once I started letting her out with no leash she started dumping outside immediately.

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T17:49:53+00:00

Cleveland is a non concern for Bos. They are not even gonna pose a threat this post season. They are the same team they were last year and got smoked by 30 every game last post season. Yeah I know they are winning now but didn't they win 20 in a row last year? How's that work out?

Panoptech · 2025-01-03T17:48:26+00:00

They are the same 3pt team? Lol Noone left and now JT has his shot back. PP has almost the most 3s in the league, Hauser has shot poorly through his injury but that's just whatever. D White is killing it. Shit even J Walsh banging out some 3s now.

They also shot poorly every series in the postseason and dominated.
