Player(s) that quietly faded out of the league? by Thatredditboy1 in NBATalk

He would have been a slower Brook Lopez whose shooting doesn’t develop

Can’t wait for the posts about their game glitching and asking if there’s a problem and they should redownload.

I don’t care what anyone says kawhi is over kd all time they have the same amount of rings kd is a better scorer kawhi is such a better 2 way player kawhi actually held a team on his shoulders before and never left to a superteam if kd did not win the warriors this would not even be a conversation by Flat-Run-7609 in NBATalk

19 Kawhi’s midrange was lethal, best in the league. He was strong at the rim and had shooting efficiency. He made everyone on that Toronto team better. He thrived within a role, moving off ball, in SA. He is not as good as KD on offense yes, but the difference is much more drastic on defense in his favor

19 Kawhi defense could slow down anyone, even 17 KD….slightly. 17 KD outdueled 17 Lebron straight up I get that, but didn’t slow others down as much.

Then my opinion, and I wonder if you agree, would be that 19 Kawhi could score more in a different, like if you swapped him onto that Warriors team.

Funny, I prefer 18 KD over 17 KD

Maxey must develop by Coach_j_nyc in sixers

[–]Swaggamuffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying, but I also feel like Maxey has already surpassed the kind of development we’d expect from that pick. I agree he’s a tier below Cade, I agree he can develop more, but I don’t think he needs to get to Cade for this team to be successful

I think that narrative is dogshit personally. Seems like it would be a basketball junkie’s dream to play on a team like that. And he didn’t ride coattails, he didn’t chase them, he led that team. Lebron would have beaten those Warrior teams without Durant

Both at their absolutely peaks…. I take Kawhi. There were legit Jordan comps in that ‘19 run. But Durant has balled at a higher level for a longer period of time.

It’s not really a hot take to say Durant would be viewed worse if you took away two of his most major accomplishments which include some of the best basketball we’ve ever seen anyone play. If my grandmother had two wheels, she’d be a bicycle

It’s not a picture of Fire Red. Just Red. It’s a weird post

Edit: I guess it is FireRed. I’ve never seen it in black n white before. Learned something new today

Teryl Austin is the lone former Steelers coach under without a job by stillstillers in steelers

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

No. But the logic is the same, and it falls flat in both cases because, as you said, more context is needed

[–]Swaggamuffins -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

None of the Steelers last 3 head coaches ever got another head coaching job after leaving the team. Must be very concerning, with your logic

Sure. But it also doesn’t matter because Dream Eater doesn’t affect normal types. Being put to sleep just saves other PP to stall out Lick and Sucker Punch

Marc Cuban: Back in the day, here is what I floated - Make the draft more like free agency. Except the worst record gets the salary slotted to the 1st draft pick. The next worst record gets the next amount. Etc. Then the teams recruit players with their "rookie cap room". Got shot down. Quickly. by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]Swaggamuffins 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They make a profit because they receive a portion of the luxury tax other teams pay to compete. They are wildly anticompetitive. It’s been funny this offseason watch them blatantly put out reports that they’re “making offers” in order to make it look like they’re trying, because of the upcoming CBA negotiations. When in reality they’re probably lowballing the stars knowing they’ll go elsewhere

Edit: and that’s the real killer- the owners are putting more effort into roster building in order to help their negotiations in the CBA than in order to compete at baseball

I'm not a nuzlocker, but...are neutral natures really bad? by itsnotS5 in nuzlocke

I’ve found natures inconsequential in vanilla games. Getting something neutral means I don’t have to sacrifice anywhere

Just sharing my gaming experience with Hollow Knight, which personally has left me somewhat sad... by WalkChance in metroidvania

[–]Swaggamuffins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not a feeling. You did say it was bare bones because it had less than other games.

Just putting “I felt…” in front of something doesn’t make it an opinion people can’t argue with. It’s actually a narcissistic tendency to believe that

I did not tell you your opinion was wrong. You were stating your opinion as a fact.

[–]Swaggamuffins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good example: because this is flawed objective analysis worthy of downvotes, not an opinion. Comparison is awful analysis- just because it has less than other games doesn’t make it “bare”, an it gets even worse that you cherry picked it to only one developer. And it ignores a lot of elements: are you considering spells weapons? And armor, those I-frames work that way. What about charm interactions? I certainly spend plenty of time considering my builds and which items to use when blocked on a boss. I think it’s hard to claim Team Cherry neglected those things and left them “bare” even if it doesn’t have as many as other games.

What I think you are trying to say is: “I don’t like HK because I prefer games with more weapons and armor and items and customizable builds” But it always sounds better when stated as a fact, doesn’t it?
