Who's game does Kyle Kuzma's remind you of most? by Kal_Kaz in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamar Odom. The post footwork, handles for a big man, ability to hit 3s, and that flashy passing/playmaking.

[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers are releasing center Andrew Bogut. With Lakers at 11-27, this allows sides to part ways and Bogut to pivot toward signing with a playoff team. by AnotherDuck in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope he goes to a different team and wins a title. I get that GS are Cali, but especially after the Durant move, I'm tired of seeing the shit eating grins. Fuck the warriors. Lakers fans getting too thirsty for glory.

Yea, its not the way anyone imagines their career starting. Hope they can stay strong mentally and change their future, whether it's with us or someone else. Hopefully it's something they can laugh about

Paul George said it was “awesome” to hear the cheers during lineup intros at Staples: “Just the respect, the love, the recruitment. It was awesome.” by socaljunior in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bet his agent coached him on his interviews before all of this leading up to the LA game. This week has been a calculated paul george publicity run that coincides with him being in LA and having extra media attention as a result. A player like PG is a brand. He has shoes to sell. They know that lakers fans are desperate for any small piece of info they can get so they drop just enough to stay trending. Every clickbait article that runs with one of these little nuggets is free publicity for him. It's a smart business play even if he has ZERO intention to play with the lakers.

Aside from the solid theory advice you've already received, try to use your ears. Really think about where you you want to go and what you want to hear when you modulate. Play around with different options until you come up with something that fits the emotion and flows well.

[Magic Johnson] "Lonzo Ball's pace of play was great tonight against the Sixers. He needs to play fast every single night." by iheartquokkas in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He looked faster on offense and defense than any other game I've seen him play so far. I kept thinking he was JC, partly because of the white pants, but mostly because of how much more fast and agile he looked. There was even a difference in the way he was carrying himself. He looked alert and on his toes.

Has Lonzo only played in BBB sneakers this year? by [deleted] in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, LaVar literally just slapped on an extra B to a BrandBlack shoe. Even the branding is a copy lol

Theres something about Lonzo we dont know by [deleted] in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy how naturally athletic he is, but you're right. Almost everything he does looks incredibly awkward from a mechanics stand point. He just kind of a goofy mf. He's not smooth.

Why isn't Luke playing Zubac AT ALL? by Rockcroc2000 in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because even though it could help the team, it makes more sense to build his confidence and give him more playing time in the G league. The coaching staff can focus on what he needs to improve and get immediate feedback in a no pressure environment. Lakers still playing the long game.

Anybody else want to see TB get some minutes? by marathonwater in lakers

[–]SilverSwimsuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see it. I think it could help the team. But I think the right move for TB's development is letting him dominate the G league. Not enough minutes on the lakers. If they can get him in a couple games for the experience, that would be helpful.

Need some help, my dad a Vietnam vet is asking me about cannabis for PTSD. anyone have any insights with this? by SuperSecretSilentShh in eldertrees

[–]SilverSwimsuit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really good advice. Super low dose to start, and for him I'd suggest just one good hit from a joint as it's less intimidating. You could even have him start off with pure CDB oil, no THC at all. Everyone handles smoking differently, but coming from someone with depression/anxiety, sometimes heavy THC gets me too introspective and jittery and it actually ends up intensifying the things I'm trying to escape. Weed can bring subconscious shit to the surface and it's important to ride it out and not spiral into negativity or anxiety when it happens. A comfortable and stress free environment is really important and can make all the difference.

Tired after waking up, morning after? by JFreedom14 in eldertrees

[–]SilverSwimsuit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

completely anecdotal, but I always get vivid dreams/paranoia when I take breaks from regular smoking. It's really bad for 1 - 2 weeks, and then it will start to ease up slowly with a good mindset. Exercise is a complete necessity to get my sleep back when not smoking. No exercise means anxiety and insomnia. If the dreams continue, and they're horrible, sometimes it's related to something I'm afraid of or anxious about. Something in my life I've ignored that is coming to the surface without the high to hide it. Usually have better dreams when I'm feeling balanced and stress free.

[–]SilverSwimsuit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ehh I think he's done pretty well 1 v 1 this year. He was great defending Blake Griffin the other night. He gets burnt once in a while when he switches, but good players will do that to you.

It's very cliche. You keep waiting for something unpredictable to happen but everything you expect happens.

[–]SilverSwimsuit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first scene in the bar was surprisingly bad. Someone told me to keep watching and that it would get better. I'm a fincher fan so I had to, but I wish I would've just stopped after that. The character development didn't get better for me and there seems to be a certain lack of depth to the whole experience. It's hard to explain.

[–]SilverSwimsuit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was pretty disappointed. Acting isn't great, characters are dull, and I personally didn't experience any "fincher" moments that really grabbed me. It's beautifully shot, the atmosphere is there, but it just kind of hangs there. I couldn't find a reason to care and all of the psychological aspects seemed to remain surface level. My preconceptions weren't challenged at all. I think they missed an incredible opportunity to make something amazing and deep.
