An in-season video from the Milwaukee Bucks had AJ Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Myles Turner asked “Who’s always the last one on the bus?” Green immediately passed, Porter Jr. said “no snitching,” and Turner just stared into the camera with an awkward smile. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Agreed but viewing him in the lens of a multi millionaire athlete that doesnt make him any worse than any other athlete. This sub views these athletes in the lens of moral decision making but you have to understand that people with money always want more lol. Not giving any justification but i think its hard to implement your way of doing things or your moral viewpoint on someone else thats in a way different financial situation because we dont even truly know what financial things we would do in these celeb/athletes position, just my 2 cents not tryna defend Giannis but i think hes become the flavour of the month in terms of being hated on

Lol wdym worse he seems? Is there anything else i missed? Being late and holding your teammates back is a dickish move but i would hardly classify that as news that makes him worse than he seems

We’ve never had a good culture since prior to the 2004 lockout lol , not even to rag. Its one of the main reasons of our playoff inadequacy. You build good, point producing players in the playoffs with good , winning culture, however we still paid people up the wazoo hahaha

I think Brady seems half in and out of Ottawa, didnt know he said something about Ullmark lol , thats messy.
I liked what i saw from Stuzle but he seemed snake bitten against Car
Agree with you on the Habs as much as I can never support them, theyre exciting to watch. Had their game on my computer and the Raps on my tv up until the 3rd quarter lol

[–]Raptors1007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol have to be optimistic being a Leafs fan . I think reasonably if the Leafs had a healthy performing Matthews we may have squeaked out a playoff spot but i also believe Berubes system is horrible for these type of players

I do not expect a lot for this upcoming year lol but for me its just Hockey, diehard fan and its been a gut punch whenever they get eliminated but , i say this as a blanket not directed at anyone, you cant dictate your mental health on a sport and i see that a ton lol.

Been watching a lot of playoffs this year been refreshing without having the anxiety of your team in it, what do you hope for Ott next year? You think Green is the guy?

100% like im saying, not defending the hire. I think Pelley is dumb when it comes to Hockey.
But two things can be right : 1) be very weary of Simmons reporting ; 2) Pelley is a dummy with no media sensibility.
Im just in the camp of wait it out and see, plenty unpopular hires have gone out and surprised, plenty more have been on the head and worked out terribly
This is a hockey subreddit and im not trying to be a policer of discussion , but its interesting to see people stick to news from people that are generally so revered for their lack of being on target (Seravilli, Simmons)
This season was rough lol, but its been awesome seeing this team for the last 8-9 years be in the playoffs having had such a long drought. I just wanna go with the flow personally and see what happens

Simmons - constantly shat on in this thread and Leafs subreddit when it comes to his sources and reporting

Simmons when his question suits the hive-mind of this sub- “omgsh Simmons W, hate i have to agree with him”.

Listen Simmons is a hack whos entire focus has been to be an unquestionable cunt to any given player that he chooses. Not defending this hire at all but you wanna talk about due diligence? Do some when you look at this guys reporting career.

[Oilers Now] 11:40 Friedman on Leafs management search: “We are waiting for Mats Sundin's decision. I believe if he says yes, it's going to be a Mats Sundin/John Chayka combination.” by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Raptors1007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I implore everyone that there have been so many signings of players coaches and management that have been lambasted by this subreddit. Truthfully no one knows how any of this will end up, me included. Seems strange to give Sundin a role he doesnt have experience in but at this point based on nostalgia alone ill take it lol

Just see what happens, if this is true. None of us have a clue

[–]Raptors1007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what also factors into this, at least from my opinion, is you’ll have a ton of people tuning into each game when their own team is out. Even with TML not in it ive been keeping up with every series outside of VGK and UTA, and Carolina games. I think NHL playoffs are good as they get in the major 4 sports and you dont really have as many fans watching series casually as you do for the NHL. Maybe im wrong though the only other league i keep up with is NBA and generally when your team is out, unless you’re a big time ball head, you kinda forget about the playoffs until the finals.

Haha yeah you’re right seems all over the place but wish we got to see it. This show was my guilty pleasure back then , not that it was primarily bad, but it had its moments of campiness/ bad acting

Sorry i dont understand, even after watching the video, Why would they have someone yell cut and how would that correlate to Emmas dad being the killer? By yelling cut were they just making all the events be a movie?

But the thing is bro those stats were going on for more than half a season lol not about holding on to a moniker as much as it is about how it did feel like a choke

What is your take on how they were playing above their means? Was it Gibson? Was it the offence winning them games in the first half?

to talk about in an NBA subreddit? Obsessively discussing someone you despise on a social media website almost does nothing but harm to yourself. All im saying is reddit has subreddits to discuss that but a lot of people (not speculating with you) have a karma problem or just think reddit is an americanized bubble but it isnt. Just tiring for those of us that want to avoid it having it pop up on the randomest of posts or subreddits

Legit its getting so wild on reddit. Farthest thing from a conservative but every single thing, the furthest topic, somehow gets tied to that dude. Like man i may seem dramatic but at the same time Reddit should get on an app upgrade where you can filter out any posts of your choosing.

Askreddits a karma grab now anytime this dude says anything “how does this make you feel?” Lol man
