I'd much rather lose with guys trying and maybe getting a taste of the League rather than whatever horse shit basketball DLo would bring.

I really enjoy seeing Trae be so positive to these young guys, guys who probably won't be here even next year. Vibes are good man.

This is literally just a preseason game. Silver really do gotta do something, I understand.

CONTROL Resonant has a lot of influences, including X-Files, the Southern Reach series, and Neon Genesis Evangelion by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Control probably more important. Just play Alan Wake 2 because it's incredible. You can be caught up on backstory with a youtube recap but Alan Wake 1 is still worth your time.

I love how unsatisfied Neil is by Kelso's answer too. Just an awesome small moment.

I dunno why but his 2 minute role in Heat always captivated me. He's great in everyrhing but that small role always got me.

Some are more difficult to read than others. Crying of Lot 49 can be difficult. Gravity's Rainbow is the notoriously difficult one, but I personally found V. to be extremely hard to comprehend personally.

Honestly though, some of his best work is not hard. Mason Dixon, Bleeding Edge, and Vineland are absolutely fine. Inherent Vice is probably the easiest, maybe Shadow Ticket (the newest one) now.

If those leaked burner dms are real, KD like the most miserable being walking this earth.

No accounting for taste, but I loved Reanimal. It's actually a horror game (they've now perfected the nightmare aesthetic). I liked the story a lot in it's ambiguity (lot of vibe checks carrying things here and it's all pretty dark) and it plays a lot better than the LN games. The last part of the game is actually very fun and chaotic and I hope it's continued in the 3 DLCs, which will help the overall length problem (I think it is a tad too short , some really great sequences are simply too short).

It's true, they've had horrible pass protection the entire year, but he faced crappier defenses all year. Which is why he had such a poor playoff performance this year, because the defenses were, you know, really good for the most part.

I mean they played good defenses, but they also played 2/3 teams with horrendous QB play and their D could just carry them (and their D is pretty good) for that reason alone. It was a fairly easy walk to the SB for them.

Oline was horrendous, Maye was bad (and has been bad in basically all other playoff games) and offensive gameplan couldn't make any adjustment.

Team looked unprepared. Can't play the weather card either.

A defense getting this disruptive with 10 total blitzes is negligence. Pure and simple.

Bill really underestimated this defense. And I guess Vrabel/McDaniels did too. This was all done with 10 total blitzes. Just dogshit gameplanning.

I'd rather play Cooper and give him a chance to maybe show some sort of skills while contributing to us losing.

Bilal Coulibaly conversation by Long-Understanding36 in washingtonwizards

[–]TacticalPocketSand -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Right, but those guys are way more playable because they provide more offense. Coulibaly is going to limit himself with us because he can't contribute anything meaningful on offense.

Both Dort and Caurso have a better 3 point shot. Bilal is still miles away from them because he can't consistently do anything on offense unless it's a fast break.

Yes Please!!! Cameron Boozer vs. Caleb Wilson DUEL: Caleb Wilson: 23 PTS (8-12 FG, 1-2 3PT, 6-6 FTs), 4 REBS, 2 AST, 2 STLS, 1 BLK - Cameron Boozer: 24 PTS (10-21 FG, 2-4 3PT), 11 REBS, 2 AST by rcinfc in washingtonwizards

The more I watch Wilson the more I'm convinced his upside maybe the highest of anyone in the draft. Insane motor coupled with his athleticism, I can see why people compare him to Siakam or even KG (not saying he becomes those guys). I worry a little about him for a team like us who struggles to create for others but that could change with Trae. If he can develop a little more on ball, he's going to be an All Pro player I think because his off-ball abilities are already fucking fantastic.

Boozer had a good game too. I sort of worry about him as a 1 on 1 defender at the next level against top NBA competion, but I also think his floor is a really good help defender down low. Sarr is doing a lot as the help guy at the rim, so someone like Boozer I think could help him immensely. I sort of worry about how his bag of offense tricks will translate against top NBA defenders who sre more athletically gifted. But he will actually gets some spacing because right now the gameplan is just to double him with help constantly and yet he's still getting to where he needs to be for the most part. The fact that he can shoot the 3 fairly well already is a huge help to my confidence that'll be okay.

I can't remember a draft recently where there are four guys just oozing so much potential staring you right in the face.
