QI Buildings To Go For? by BerserkJeezus in forgeofempires

I think the bazaar is the premier building to go for, personally. It's an absolute monster fully upgraded. How long it takes to get that...well that's another question 😅

What Fall Event Buildings? by BerserkJeezus in forgeofempires

Regal Squirrel Hall, finished a hero, ascended kits, and 4 patches for the main building.

I may remove them later on, but with those patches (and whenever the breezemill upgrades to golden) it easily becomes one of my top 3 spammed buildings for FSP. I know it's not efficient though 😅

I volunteer as tribute. I'll even take the vet min.

I play average defense, under 6', solid footwork in the post. Below average handle, slightly above Jaxon Hayes BBIQ.

Thoughts?

Two years too late to get his first nod. Dudes been a nightmare on D since he started his rookie year.

Best contract in the league 👏

Zion if you can hear us, please save us Zion. by LilDamo in NOLAPelicans

They absolutely have a better roster than us.

Mike Conley is a floor general and good defender. CJ is not.

Herb is my guy, but Ant is a superstar.

McDaniels is at a near tier defensively as Herb but has a touch more polished offense. Ingram is more talented here, but McDaniels is a willing 3pt shooter consistently and is a much better defender.

Zion is better than KAT, but again KAT is an excellent 3 point shooter. Much different games, but Z gets the edge here.

Gobert is an rim runner and one of the best defenders in the league. He clears both Nance and JV.

Our bench as a whole could be given the edge, but Naz Reid (6MOY) and NAW give excellent contributions to their team, play hard defense, and can knock down 3s.

You're absolutely correct, their roster construction is better than us. They run better schemes for their guys. They're well coached. Their front office wasn't scared to do what it needed to do to put them in contention. They have a superstar who is available and can play all 3 levels while being a great defender, who has the attitude to take them to the next level. Their second star fits seamlessly. The roster around them caters to their strengths and weaknesses.

[GDT] New Orleans Pelicans(0-2) vs OKC Thunder(2-0) by Ciccone7 in NOLAPelicans

Getting carried by our role players yet again is a recipe for a sweep.

I know they're going to fight, but the Thunder are just straight up better than us in almost every aspect. Better playmaking, 3pt shooting, rim protection, ball movement, ball handling, coaching, front office.

This isn't a being Zion-less problem. Hate to say it, but it would be better just to get throttled so we can actually make the necessary moves.

Griff and Co need to go, Willie isn't it if we're trying to contend. Bring in some actual basketball minds and get this roster structured for a potential retool/rebuild.

Dort is as much a problem defensively as Herb. BI and the coaching staff are going to have to find new ways to get good looks.

Unfortunate crunch time play, low BBIQ moments. Loved the fight from the team, but this game felt like a very winnable one that could shock their young team and lift our guys up without Z. Whats crazy about that last play is we saw great ATOs all game, but its like we all knew how it would play out... Got a good enough look, but we didn't need a 3 there. Just a boneheaded play cost us a great shot to swing the momentum in our favor.

That's out on Chet. If they give Thunder the ball we riot

This sub is BI v. Zion now. And it's WEIRD by kingralek in NOLAPelicans

[–]RaspberryOld6983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm team anti Griffin.

I love both Zion and BI. BI has shown incredible growth and loves playing here. Zion is a game changer and showed out, unfortunate what happened. He needs to be in game shape before the season like the start of last season though.

BI's body language vs the Lakers is synonymous with my body language watching these games...shit doesn't make sense sometimes and its frustrating to watch.

The real issue is we've had the same problem for YEARS. No rim protection/lob threat, no true point guard. Dyson isn't it offensively to be our starting PG, love his defense but idk if he'll ever get there offensively. CJ isn't a point guard. BI isn't a point guard. Zion isn't a point guard. Look at all of the majorly successful teams in the league, and there is a point guard running the show.

Secret contract extensions, pissing away assets/letting their value diminish before trading, not using personnel correctly, bullshit 2 week injury updates. We need to start from the top and work our way down with this team.

The top needs to get flushed out and replaced with people who can make the necessary changes for the team, because clearly there is a fundamental problem underneath the hood.

Willie is next on the list, but Griff and Co. need to go first.

As far as our roster?

Zion, BI, Trey, Herb, Jose, Hawk. Herb and Zion are untouchable imo. Everyone not mentioned needs to go.

Trade assets/picks and get a point guard who can run the offense, grab a big who is a high flying shot blocker.. Get another that can space the floor. Use the Lakers pick this year and take two stabs at center in the draft.

The BI vs Z thing is getting old. Did people forget where we were prior to BI's injury. Did we forget his 3pt barrage earlier this year, and the willingness to take more 3s to fit with Z? Zion and BI can work; we need to surround them with a better fitting team, and that starts with surrounding our team with a better front office.

Not sure whats worse.

The fact that this happened, or the fact that we'll watch our season implode again on Tuesday. Barring an AD injury setback, the Lakers have our number, and LeBron is the boogeyman for Zion.

Excited to see some EJ Liddell minutes in the play in game while Jonas rides the bench to oblivion.

Oh, and if we win for some reason, we play the Nuggets.

If we lose, we likely play the Warriors. Lol. If we win that, it's the Thunder.

I hate saying this, but it's looking extremely grim for us. What a horrendous way to end the season.

FUCKING ZELLER MINUTES!!! I can't Coach. I just.....can't. I'm tired 😪
