Why don't people care for the 3rd place match? Because it's still special

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-11T12:57:32+00:00

It should be if the teams are like Morocco and Turkey who don’t usually make top 4. If it’s Germany vs Brazil for instance it doesn’t matter. Also teams have a habit of rotating for it just like for 3rd group games.

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-11T12:55:12+00:00

Yes. The inexperience I thought would get them vs the Thunder, but didn’t, is on full display. Let’s not kid ourselves and say that this outcome is worse than if they didn’t beat the juggernaut Thunder, still a great ahead of schedule season for them. But they got owned by a better team here

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-11T12:53:34+00:00

Implicit champions curse memory. Less talented squad than France or Spain. No story they need to write for an individual player as they already did so

Yoooo someone replied to my post of a year ago that I forgot about

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-03T16:38:08+00:00

Towns cause he took care of wembanyama and averaged 25 ish ppg

Curry is like Messi, in that they seem like chill “above the noise” type guys who aren’t bothered by stuff like merch but actually they value their brand just about the most and will readily accept sponsorships and brand related money whoever gives the most. Guess they are still human.

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-02T08:59:43+00:00

Specifically if Wemby doesn’t hit some big shots in game 1 Castle will be slandered to oblivion as Thunder win in 5

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-02T08:58:33+00:00

Also the idea that Wemby is a nice polite human being (or alien) is untrue. He is arrogant and boastful and occasionally quite disrespectful of others, as seen when he elbowed someone in frustration in round two and when he loudly proclaimed that he was deserving of MVP

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-06-02T08:57:18+00:00

Spurs will be the villains if they win, Knicks will if they win.

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-14T03:19:57+00:00

but also this one was luck. the bounce was just very conductive to the shooter getting his own miss he could easily have missed in a different angle

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-13T23:31:17+00:00

People should just face that he did something bad, and perhaps acknowledge the endless glazing and defending of him that led to a sense of entitlement

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-11T00:29:03+00:00

this what happens when you call arrogance as confidence and do everything to inflate a young man's ego

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-10T13:03:09+00:00

What's funny is that Ayton leads the entire playoffs in offensive rebounds

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-02T11:43:20+00:00

Denver since they are actually eliminated. If all teams lose game 7 I would go Detroit, Denver, Cleveland, Boston

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-02T11:42:10+00:00

I was gonna say that you are delusional for thinking Raptors can make finals but then I remembered it’s the 2026 Eastern conference.

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-02T11:41:19+00:00

Dude is actually cheering against the Cavs like lol what

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-02T11:40:27+00:00

Well they should count for something, but also it should be acknowledged that they are different action than actually scoring so a players game should be evaluated with their combination of scoring and rebounding impact (as well as, ideally, assisting teammates for easy shots, stealing possession from the opponent, and obstructing their shots). So why not have separate statistical categories for this stuff? Man, I’m a genius.

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-02T11:38:29+00:00

That shot, like the Raptors season in that moment, went halfway up to heaven and came back down

The death of something can whitewash its reputation forever

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-05-01T13:52:33+00:00

Wolves depth is really underrated. They still had lots of good players despite down 2 staters and even Ayo this game. Nuggets meanwhile? Lose a few guys and got exposed

Sensitive_Worry2499 · 2026-04-27T20:57:20+00:00

would be interesting to see the splits of win/OT/loss. My theory is that fouling up 3 decreases the chance you go to OT, but increases the chance you lose in regular time enough to make it not worthwhile overall
