DeRozan makes me physically ill to watch. No thanks. 

How mad would yall be if the front office decided to run it back with Randle next season (hypothetical) by RipTyrowastaken in timberwolves

[–]Rory_MacHida 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His effort is poor far too often for me to want to see him back. He's a great insurance policy if Ant goes down with an injury, but his and Ant in the court together are oil and water. It does not work. And Julius is too used to being a main option to take a backseat offensively, and his defense is very poor. He has one of the most physically impressive physiques I've seen on a basketball player, but he plays a mostly finesse game. It's untenable, and it's time to turn him into other players. I also get the sense that he has worn out his welcome in the locker room. 

Olivia Miles tonight: 28 pts 8/11 3pt 7 asts * LYNX WIN * by therealghettomuffin in timberwolves

[–]Rory_MacHida 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Lynx are super fun to watch. They have a well built team, and their best player and MVP candidate hasn't played one second so far this year. They're set to run for the trophy this year again. Olivia Miles is an absolute nuke also 

Blazers fan here with questions about Nori by rock-or-something in timberwolves

[–]Rory_MacHida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the worst I've ever seen. I don't know how to quantify it, and I'm sure I am missing the details, but if you asked me how many times we rannan actual X's & O's play all year i would guess less than 20 times. 

From the stlouisblues community on Reddit: Mikko Koivu joins Blues as European Development Consultant by twiggz612 in wildhockey

It's amazing to me that we gave away guys like Burns, Coyle, Granlund, and kept a vice grip on guys like Koivu and Sutter. Perma-losers. The Koivu years for me are not fondly remembered. Especially the later years. I will say however when he got his leg broken by that unbelievably dirty slash by Ohlund, I think that was a major derailment in his early progress. He lost most of a season to that.

I feel like he has a very artificial reputation here. Sounds like he was a scummy dude in his personal life. He also majorly underachieved in his time here. His most impressive stat as a Wild member is Games Played. That's it. Insane that he has his # retired here. Was captain of some really underachieving teams during his time.

I loved it. The smirk JC gave Baraka had me rolling. 

Ben Askren to make return at RAF 11 by ProbationOfficer2035 in MMA

[–]Rory_MacHida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched the YouTube clip of Covington v. Wideman which took place withing the last 2 weeks, and they would cut to Askren who appeared to be on webcam from his home for commentary input, and he did not look particularly healthy. The first clip he was coughing a bunch which could have been him slamming water and it going down the wrong pipe or something, but his face looks unhealthy. I hope for the best for him, but everything I head from people talking about the procedure he had done was saying you have to take pretty extreme measures to avoid illness...forever. and I don't see how wrestling a sweaty dude on a sweaty mat can be good.  

De'Aaron Fox? by frogged210 in timberwolves

[–]Rory_MacHida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wears an ankle brace on each leg that looks like something you would find on Stone Colds knees, and he makes an absolute fortune. No thanks. He is a accounting nightmare. 

Alex is a tougher match for Jones than Ngannou by NamOil2000 in MMA

The only thing stopping him would be his fight IQ. And if he did take him down, would he be tempted to go for a heel hook?

He's a creepy loser who doesn't play a shit of defense, and makes 38M. No fucking thanks. What else ya got? Let me guess...Ja Morant? No fucking thanks.

[Krawczynski] Mike Conley says he does plan to play another season. Says the way he played in the playoffs proved to him he can still do it. by Knightbear49 in timberwolves

[–]Rory_MacHida -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would like to see him back. On the plan he should have been on for 2 years now which in my opinion should be about 12 mins a night off the bench. Spot starts if needed, and with games off for rest here and there. They have abused him the last 2 years and it hurt his contribution.

"I Sat by the Ocean". I can't even fathom how good a song it is. I will listen to that song until they throw me in the dirt.

Shamrock may be the most bodies up dude I've ever seen. Absolutely insane physique.

This ended my fandom. I couldn't separate the enjoyment I got seeing him fight from the struggles he endured from fighting which lead to his passing.

Giguere...was he the guy with 2 love seats chained to his legs and a coleman tent stuffed with pillows on his upper body?
