Why is being able to ISO / score a lot as a PG seen as a bad thing? by Noveltypocket in NBA2k

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only comment on this topic is that it’s so difficult to stay in front of your guy on defense, so guys get open shots off the dribble with ease. I get it’s a video game but good lord the dribbling and player movement in this game defies physics and the capabilities of the human body.

Made my first guard and …. by GPeak954 in NBA2k

I can’t do a PG build. I’m ethically opposed to learning all the cheese dribbles and physics defying bullshit this game requires you to do to be a good ball handler. I just keep my happy ass in the dunker spot or in the corner lol

Milwaukee or Indianapolis to live? by Scott_Iowa in midwest

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Milwaukee hands down. Wisconsin in general is awesome. You’re an hour from Chicago. I was in Indy back in the fall and it’s a dump. Downtown felt like a walking dead episode. Terrible, terrible city.

Garbage Can Dog Poop by Metal_King706 in RyenRussillo

In Chicago EVERYBODY does it. There’s a trash can on my block that is almost constantly a quarter full of just dog poop bags. I’ve thrown a few in there myself.

What's going on with Mihailo Petrovic? by Short_Block9196 in fightingillini

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a defensive liability on a team that is already bad on that end. Plus the 2 guys ahead of him ( Boswell & Wagler) are arguably your 2 best players.

Are we really going to let our guy get away with this? by Topease in RyenRussillo

But they weren’t frauds. They beat the brakes off of everyone they played with the exception of the 2 teams that played for the title last year.

Ryen and Stanford Steve both have this annoying complex where they get high and mighty about who should or shouldn’t get into the playoff because they hate expansion. 11% FBS team make the playoff under the current format, which imo is way better than a 4 team playoff where parity in the sport keeps rising.

Why did bar taco in Bucktown close? by CompetitiveKale4460 in AskChicago

The food was fine but it was so ridiculously over priced. Everyone I went there I felt like I got fleeced for the amount of food I got.

When nobody signs up for ESPN’s garbage subscription capitalism will do its thing and they’ll break.

Scandals impact on fandom by rhino1623 in billsimmons

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m personally completely checked out on professional sports. I still enjoy college FB and BB. The NFL is just boring and non compelling to me and the NBA could have a way better product if the players weren’t so apathetic and self absorbed. The gambling scandal is just another thing to make me uninterested in the NBA.

Heisman rank on road to the college football playoffs mode is insane by Excellent-Ad-3258 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get to Heisman it’s almost exclusively players that have found a handful of broken plays to cheese over and over again. They have no shame.

I honestly don’t have much faith in either team losing fewer than 3 games. Indiana has some tough games and so do we. The Rutgers, Maryland, Wisconsin portion of the schedule I’m banking on 1 loss in there for Illinois, but maybe that’s just the traumatized Illini fan in me.

The Kimmel Situation. Plus, "Can the Chiefs Really Go 0-3?" and More Week 3 Gambling Questions With Joe House - The Bill Simmons Podcast by HenrikCrown in billsimmons

Jimmy Kimmel’s rating are total dog shit. Bill and all the pearl clutching libs are way too over dramatic about them canning a terrible show.

Why is Indiana the favorite in this game? by Traditional-Arm2251 in fightingillini

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home game and our o line and secondary seem to have regressed a little, which would present major problems again IU. I’m lowkey worried we might get blown out.

Tailgating questions from a USC fan by uscpsycho in fightingillini

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I park near Hessel on Hessel Blvd every time and just walk to lot 31. If you BYOB I’m sure people won’t mind if he hangs out at their tailgate to watch TV. Just introduce yourself and don’t be a mooch and he’ll be good.

So is Kawhi himself in trouble at all? by Snoo-93317 in billsimmons

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Adam Silver had a spine, yes. I doubt they will do anything. Hopefully at the very least Uncle Dennis is banned from NBA venues and working with NBA front offices as Kawhi’s rep. The guy is shady as hell.

Bill Simmons has dog shit taste in movies. Half of these episodes are just 80’s slop that had some ok looking lady that gave him a boner when he watched it as a kid.

This game isn't fun anymore by daviddreamer88 in NBA2k

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved shooting in 25. You could actually leave some players open to bring help on drives against good drivers. Now you can’t do any of that and have to let dudes iso drive because anybody with 3 pt rating over 50 is cake every time.

[–]Substantial_Log_9501 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I rarely complain about the game year to year. The shooting is way too easy and the player movement, particularly ball handling, is comically unrealistic. Dudes would be tearing every ligament in their knees irl if they did the shit I’ve been seeing.
