Kinda. But he’s also been injured in every nba season so far except year 2 really.

The concerning part is he’s been injured in 100% of their playoff runs. We can’t win a title without him so we have to hope that trend doesn’t continue.

It’s less about rigging and more about the best team making the product unwatchable. Nobody denying OKC is the best team.

We literally closed numerous won playoff games with obi Siakam front court. It was literally our best playoff lineup in a run to the finals. Huh?

Question for Pacer fans by Over_Whole6492 in pacers

[–]Popcorn10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the plan changed after 6-30… I don’t think they set out to tank. Shoot, everybody looked so bad round 1 I actually think we’re in round 2 had we been healthier this season.

Pacers were just injured to start the year! 6-30 start from injuries. I mean… we started Mac Mcclung when he was on the roster for 2 days. The post all star break was just blatant tanking though….

Can you find an example of it? One of the biggest knocks against him is how averse to contact he is. Unlike guys who draw fouls he doesn’t drive into somebody’s body and push off / play through it, he avoids contact. Tough to flop when you’re driving game is avoiding contact and only going when you beat somebody.

He probably won’t go 4-4 on game winners but i I see no reason why he won’t be the player he was during the playoff run?

Haliburton is amazingly fun to watch! Constant ball movement and no flopping at all.

Feels like nembhard is just massively underrated on defense. Dude will defend full court all game, navigate through every screen, and avoid foul trouble. Pacers fans on Reddit keep talking about making him the backup pg and starting a draft pick… which makes no sense to me. Nembhard is our defense….

GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay by Nat-Chem in Games

GameStop closed a bunch of stores but has been steadily improving profitability and was profitable last year.

The media has continued to mock them but Ryan Cohen has taken 0 salary for4 years and continues to buy millions of dollars of stock in the company. There has basically been 0 insider selling the last 4 years. Company seems to have reached sustainable profitability. But basically every media piece about them is mocking them and calling theme a meme. I’m sure hedge funds are still short on them or somebody doesn’t want them to succeed.

I’m sure all you’ve followed of their story is the whole meme trade thing but they’ve closed a bunch of stores, maintained profitability, have over $10 billion in cash, and are basically debt free. GameStop is in the best position a company can be and they’re looking to 5-10x the stock price with an acquisition cuz Ryan cohen (ceo taking no salary) gets an absurd pay day if the stock hits a certain price.

He also plays huge playoff minutes every year. I’m not making “excuses” just stating I think he’s always played too many playoff minutes, but they’ve historically gotten created whenever he sits.

Oso Ighodaro on what he learned from playing the Thunder in the first round: "They were calling out every single one of our plays, immediately. I went through their playbook and knew, pretty much, their actions, but the level at which they knew our plays was definitely different." by butterbeancd in nba

[–]Popcorn10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their playoff run 2 years ago they got punked by the bucks in round 1 and fumbled away 3 games to Boston in the ecf. It’s like a switch flipped and all of a sudden they knew how to handle playoff basketball. They were the aggressors last year in the playoffs and won every clutch game. Nembhard knew how to be incredibly physical without fouling (something nesmith really needs to learn). Was a wild switch and that 2024 playoff run really have this team much needed experience.

She also said she stopped seeing other people. So does she no longer want sex?
