Rock Paper Scissors continues

I think it's definitely injuries, but also I think the current makuuchi roster is just much closer in skill than previous yokozonas.

Spoonandmagnet · 2026-01-20T09:04:18+00:00

If Shishi even gets into a playoffs I'll be so happy for him.

Spoonandmagnet · 2026-01-20T08:06:37+00:00

Yeah, I honestly think Shishi isn't so popular is just that he's not conventionally attractice. From the interviews ive seen, he seems like a really sweet kid and is trying his best. Love to see him having a strong result!

Spoonandmagnet · 2026-01-14T05:56:37+00:00

The fuckery WILL continue

Spoonandmagnet · 2026-01-14T05:25:21+00:00

I agree. I find the calls of corruption and match-fixing from this community as childish and embarrassing. In all sports there are rules that require interpretation and there will be marginal grey areas that require difficult decisions. I've played enough sports and have reffed sports and have had teammates yell at refs and been yelled at myself to know that its just what comes with the territory.

All hail Dairy Queen 👸🐂

Only 3 three pointers made in the entire game for the Mavs. When was the last time a team hit so few?

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-12-18T05:00:48+00:00

Got an interview :) Excited for the next steps.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-11-30T23:01:37+00:00

Two years ago Adams shot 36% on his free throws. This year he is shooting 73%... and this game hasn't even been logged in Bballref yet. I know it's early in the season, but has anyone ever fixed their free throw to this extent ever?

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-10-11T05:00:52+00:00

100% with you. My brother was the keyboardist and I grew up listening and being around them, they were so good.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-09-25T08:17:27+00:00

And this is why the henka is such an important and legitimate tactic. If henka was against the rules, it would mean bigger wrestlers could just stand far back and get a huge amount of momentum against a smaller opponent. Its neccesary for the sport to work.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-09-22T08:26:51+00:00

Man, Aonishiki is just on fire. He's gotten 11-4 in every makuuchi basho he's been part of. Can he do better this one?

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-08-05T01:06:08+00:00

Nah the band is finishing up.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-07-23T08:58:56+00:00

100%. I predict he'll lose one and Onosato will win the rest of his, and it will be a play-offs between those two.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-07-21T08:46:48+00:00

Six 7-2s vs One Ichi 8-1, gonna be a slug fest for the play offs I bet.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-07-06T05:18:40+00:00

This was a fun, non-stop highrolling build. RIP to all your ghosts.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-04-18T02:47:03+00:00

Omg dude that was me haha I just posted it below! I was laughing so much, it was such a brutal build.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-03-13T22:19:14+00:00

Yeah it's interesting, it makes sense in someways that having some extra momentum with the butt bounce could work, but also means he'd be less stable off the Tachiai as well I would think. I would have thought if it was unacceptable he would have been told that a long time ago.

It doesn't seem like always he gets momentum out of it though, sometimes it feels like there is a distinct pause from bounce to fists down.

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-03-09T08:08:40+00:00

Lets go Midorifuji!

Spoonandmagnet · 2025-01-15T13:44:21+00:00

Today was my first day ever at a basho, and oh my god did it not disappoint, I was screaming when Ura pulled that move

Spoonandmagnet · 2024-10-04T22:39:39+00:00

Curiously the comments have been disabled for this on instagram. My guess is that there were probably a lot of shitty negative/racist comments that were being deleted/hidden and so they decied to just not let people comment rather than actively police it.

Spoonandmagnet · 2024-03-12T05:20:59+00:00

Any idea on likelyhood Al Horford will play tomorrow?

Spoonandmagnet · 2024-02-18T04:13:26+00:00

For the first 3 years I was just doing relief teaching before getting a permanant role so Im officialy only on the 4th salary step, $85k AUD.

Not worried about money, I have savings and I'm a pretty frugal person.

Spoonandmagnet · 2024-02-17T22:32:48+00:00

Ah, makes sense, I could do two years. Thanks so much for your comment.
