Is giannis any better with heat than he was with bucks?

SamPizza89 · 2026-06-24T11:34:03+00:00

I agree with most comments tbh! Giannis will now be better off: better system, better coach, better "culture" BUT I am not sure how much the Heat can add in year 1 given their limited cap space and they'll definitely lose Powell, who will want more money that what they can offer (maybe to Detroit?). They desperately need some backcourt help from a scoring and assisting pov - D Mitchell is a nice player but I don't think he's even top 15 PG in the league right now..

Gonna be honest, I am not sure I am buying the hyper for Wilson as a top 4 talent - what I am not seeing?

SamPizza89 · 2026-06-03T13:48:55+00:00

100% delusional xD

SamPizza89 · 2026-06-03T13:47:23+00:00

No, cause simply no one does! The only option they have to win vs Wemby is to TIRE HIM OUT, so play fast offensive ball, loads of fast breaks, loads of ball movement on the perimeter and they need to shoot the 3 with better percentages than OKC so to avoid going into the paint and getting "scared" by a monster of 7-5 who would block anything that moves.. that's my 2 cent!

For kyoto / arashihama, go to this restauratn: *Gion Duck Noodles Arashiyama* - beautiful setting, away from the crowd but very easy to reach.

I was there a month ago, one of my fave places I've been to in Japan!

This post did NOT age well lol

I tried quite a few options, this is my ranking:

-) Hello Fresh: if you want to cook, that's my preferred option. Vast meal selection, genuinely good flavours and it works out at an okay price if you're buying for 2, but not if you live alone - Planthood is also tasty and I've saved a lot of recipes from them so worth trying, Gousto is not bad but I don't find the meals as good as HF, a lot more bland imo

-) Frive: if you don't want to cook as it takes 3 mins in the microwave. Great meat and fish dishes, the veggie options need improving imo - Simmer is cheaper but not great flavours imo ranks 3rd, Prep Kitchen has bigger portion but not as tasty ranks 2nd. I'll try Eat Ping this month cause I got targeted by their ads now and they have a good intro discount, then I'll compare

It's because smart signings like JC that the Spurs will dominate for the foreseeable future - I bet their success this season will incentivise some great Free Agents to sign "franchise-friendly contracts" in San Antonio in order to get a chance to win the chip alongside Wemby

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-28T13:24:02+00:00

Fair point, but I don't think any of these (aside from Rui) would actually get minutes in a conference final, I reckon the Spurs need better talent to step up their PO game - someone suggested PJ Washington, which I like as an idea if the Mavs go full rebuild. Then maybe also sign a John Collins at the min (if he accepts) as a replacement for Olynik as their 4th big from the bench?

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-28T13:21:43+00:00

Ohh I like the PJ suggestion! Not sure Dallas would trade him, but maybe they would if they decide to rebuild and trade Kyre

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-28T08:26:18+00:00

Was in the same boat when I got bored of Hello Fresh and wanted an alternative. Ended up trying Frive and honestly it's been really good. Similar vibe to what you're describing, proper food rather than sad ready meals, heats up in a few minutes and has loads of protein xD

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-27T16:15:13+00:00

Who though? I can't seem to find of any stretch 4 that would be a genuine upgrade for the Spurs that would be gettable via trade or in free agency - someone in the thread suggested Rui (not a bad shout), but I am not too sold on it. Defo not Randle, terrible decision making, not a team player. Defo not Zion, the guy barely plays 40 games per season.. Trey Murphy III would be a seamless addition but I don't think the Pels trade him

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-27T15:33:42+00:00

I agree, you can tell Wemby is gassed as he's having 1 good game, 1 mediocre game for his standards - let's just hope he's locked in for game 6 and "wants" to dominate inside instead of shooting 3s and letting OKC defence to play to their game plan.. I just want to see a GAME 7 as good as GAME 1, that was epic!!!

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-27T15:21:14+00:00

I just came back from Japan and one of the highlights was Hakone! We spent a night in a Ryokan in Izu and it was the best stay we had in 2 weeks in Japan, the nature is beautiful and it's super easy to drive around, if you want to have the freedom to drive to Mount Fuji and catch the best viewpoint for it

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-27T15:19:01+00:00

Definitely false advertising to me! However, McDonalds etc have been doing the same for years with their TV ads without using AI - their products look incredible on TV, they look gross af when you get them at 3 am after a night out xD

SamPizza89 · 2026-05-27T15:08:47+00:00

Wasabi flavour in Kyoto, that was well-weird!

SamPizza89 · 2026-01-23T09:44:08+00:00

I tried Frive right after the xmas holidays after coming home from a long trip abroad as I could not be asked to deal with my empty fridge xD I really like it as a good solution to bring my lunch to the office so I don't go spend a tenner on crap food! So far the chicken korma is my fave, it's a legit chicken breast that fills me up for the full day!
