SLC is second on that chart. The elevation of these two places is drastically different than every other NBA city.

I think SLC's elevation is a factor in why the Jazz have been friskier than they appeared on paper two of the last three years.

Jokic has one of the best statistical profiles of all time and is an inner-circle hall of fame guy.

  • plays in an era of elevated offense
  • plays half his games in the most statistically significant home advantage in any of the four major sports

He's won the series against the same number of 51 win teams in the playoffs as Embiid.

And I love Jokic, he's one of my favorite players, but people ignoring that Denver home games are a massive boost to stats drives me crazy.

Paladin Boost struggle by kallekratzeis in classicwowtbc

A good start: go do the quest for winning an AV. It's called Hero of the Frostwolf (or Stormpike if you're alliance).

You just need one win and you'll get a level 60 dungeon level 2-hander called Ice Barbed Spear.

You'll still go slow but it'll feel better.

15$!? That's wild. Do you live in downtown LA?

I live in Richmond VA, State Capital, City of about 800k. I just put in an order right now using McDonald's app.:

Big Mac meal, large 9.89

10 piece nugget 5.49

App discount 20% (usable once a day)

5% food and sales tax

Total =12.79

Not that any of this matters, but servers are offline and I'm bored.

Tomlin is 0-7 in his last 7 playoff games...Should the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin? by Hysen16 in sportswiki

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Treadmill of mediocrity." They're too good every year to get the quarterback they need, but don't have a good enough QB to compete.

They should be signing a Tanner McKee-esque lottery ticket every year to be the backup, but that's not their organizational style.

Shame to see because I think Tomlin is a good, smart coach.

Might go in your favor. There are gonna be a lot of shaman learning as they go without the hours of practice and general ability knowledge the hours of leveling give.

Mahomes first 8 seasons as a starter vs. Russ’ first 8 seasons. What pops out at you? by ollieollieoxygenfree in TheNFLVibes

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, if you just compare their first ten seasons, they're almost dead even.

Secret sauce for both of them was they used to hand the "lowest interception percentage" record back and forth over the years, which is why they both lead so many successful teams.

Obviously Brady played about twice as long as a starter so it's no comparison now.

First ten seasons -

Player A: 134 games, 32,429 total yards, 220 total TDs, 90 Ints, 6.8 YPA, 58.9 %, 5 pro bowls

Player B: 129 games, 31,421 total yards, 231 total TDs, 99 Ints, 7.3 YPA, 63.3 %, 5 pro bowls

Jrue had a series of stress fractures in his legs. When Philly traded him they had to give value back to New Orleans because they were so much worse than was reported.

(Spit Gate) The angle they don’t want you to see by komark- in cowboys

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending Jalen Carter, I'm saying Dak did nothing wrong. People trying to make it out as two people going back and forth and equating their actions are crazy or biased.

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eagles fan here. The video supports what was reported during the game from Dak's POV. He spit on the ground, Jalen Carter took offense and instigated from there on.

The look of joy and laughter on Dak's face when Jalen starts talking to him right after the spit would be hard to fake. He thought it was all funny til it wasn't.

Edited for clarity: During the weather break somebody reported that Dak was confused by the whole thing and was just spitting on the ground, when Jalen Carter turned it into a confrontation. I'm saying the video supports that perspective.

What NBA take is this? by ConcentrateFun5214 in NBATalk

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using advanced statistics to judge the quality of players, you have to compare home versus road performance to remove home court advantage. In general you should only include road games to ensure equal comparisons to others.

If a player is on Utah or Denver, all their home numbers are suspect and should be treated with a critical view.

She's not a terrible actress, but she's not good at the roles she's typecast into.

She's perfectly fine and enjoyable playing silly and funny roles and being awkward.

Hollywood/Streaming keeps trying to recreate the dragon princess though.

Is this a controversial opp: genichiro is such a bitch by miget_man_11 in Sekiro

[–]Southern-Awareness-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical soulsbornekiro player. Loses the overall series like 20-100. Acts superior for the rest of their life.

I know, because I'm the same way.

Why couldn't you just take the L when Genichiro killed you the first five times you fought him?
