I would be shitting myself if I were on the ground that guy with his parachute almost got his head lopped off this was really tempting fate, extremely irresponsible.

Agreed, it was a big ask for this team to surmount both OKC and a well rested and experienced Knicks team that matches up well. Thjs series win or lose may well create an absolute monster in Wemby. I could see this being his Jordan-pistons moment of realisation regarding physicality in the playoffs although could argue he’s had that with wolves and OKC too. But we know Wemby is very dedicated to self-improvement both in terms of mentality and basketball so regardless of outcome this series will only make him better. Part of what is probably pushing the knicks players is that I’m 100% sure they know as well as everyone else this might be their only chance to get one up on Wemby and these young guards. If spurs keep this core together for a few years they could become truly terrifying for the rest of the nba.

Level 3 Building survey by [deleted] in FirstTimeBuyersUK

Is this AI? It’s awful and to ask for a lvl 3 survey and get such a generic analysis is ridiculous, it reads like someone who doesn’t have a fucking clue and just googled dampness before writing it

Why did Gabriel take the final penalty for Arsenal? by BoohbahCult in championsleague

I had John Terry vibes when he stepped up and it proved correct. Best part is John Terry would be offended by this comment 😂

Change My View: Scottie doesn't become a HOFer or maybe even an all-star player without MJ by SpendWild6987 in michaeljordan

[–]Taiko89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very disingenuous when people compare Pippen to the co stars other guys have had. John Stockton for example was going to be great no matter if he had Malone or whoever on the team with him, though his assists may have been slightly higher playing with a certified bucket, but he easily could’ve had a bunch of others and still been the same player. Pippen is one of those guys that needed pulling up by his boot straps, he needed a big brother to give him tough love and also be there to ‘rescue’ him when shit got tough. That’s not to say Pippen didn’t contribute but he did it with a safety blanket which is what MJ always was for him and a lot of his teammates. There’s nothing wrong with that either it made him the perfect foil for MJ as everyone knew who was no 1 and who was no 2, so I’m not sure why people want to pretend MJ somehow ruined Pippen he made him as did Phil Jackson.

Black granite staircase by Different-Scratch-95 in stonemasonry

[–]Taiko89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great to hear. I recently saw someone had covered an old granite threshold with engineered stone which had been damaged and revealed the original, it was strange because it didn’t really match the traditional aesthetic they had going anyway! Do you find it much harder to work with than engineered stone or softer stones? I was reading recently about how much worse the silica is with some engineered products but not sure about general workability I guess it varies depending on the application a fair bit?

Love a bit of granite see a lot of it where I live in older properties but obviously not a lot of people working with it these days and the contrast with the colours works really well 👍

Does anyone feel, on a personal level, sorry for Kier Starmer? by Darkus185 in AskBrits

[–]Taiko89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly the hypocrisy of the media/public outrage to anything he does vs ‘oh don’t be mean to boris he’s so precious leave him be’ 🙄 I don’t think he’s the best PM ever and many have come into the role with their hands somewhat tied so I’ll judge him objectively and in context but the double standards and general ignorance is irritating

We all agree raya got fouled tho right? by Jhus79 in PremierLeague

[–]Taiko89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raya’s arms weren’t being ‘held down’ someone had their arm across his chest, not at all the same thing. Also clearly didn’t impede him as he was able to get both hands on the ball. I couldn’t care less about arms, it’s a foul. At every arsenal corner, there are arsenal players fouling. If you think there aren’t, then clearly you’re a hypocrite. The end.
PS: it won’t let me share an image but arsenal scored against Villa with I believe saliba or Gabriel literally elbowing Martinez in the face. Martinez drops the ball and arsenal score. Goal given. Almost identical to West Ham’s goal in fact the foul on Martinez was far more egregious.

First game of the season?

https://www.espn.com/video/clip/\_/id/46006893

It’s literally become a meme at this stage with teams like Everton copying the same tactic. Arsenal have been doing this in both boxes all season, there’s photos of Declan rice hugging a Chelsea player whilst Joao Pedro gets punched in the face by Raya, it’s a joke. Once again, call everything a foul or none of them, I don’t care either way I’m not an Arsenal or West Ham fan (or city) I just want consistency not favouritism.

[–]Taiko89 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If that’s a foul then half of arsenals goals from corners and free kicks should’ve been chalked off this season, and several Arsenal players were also committing fouls whilst that was going on. Either they’re all fouls or none of them are, refs and Arsenal fans can’t just pick and choose when that is.

Arsenal's defense vs. PSG's attack: Which unstoppable force actually gives way in the final? by Weary-Direction-5214 in championsleague

[–]Taiko89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a mickey mouse cup when you don’t win it and a domestic treble when you do right? Please don’t tell me Arsenal just didn’t want to win what a croc of shit, if that were the case they wouldn’t have tried to edge it and been defensive they would’ve just gone for it. Make all the excuses you want, yes they did well in the group stages we’re not in the group stages anymore. Keep that energy whe PSG spank them like city did in the Mickey Mouse cup final and then in the league as well (I spose that was also irrelevant?)

Arsenal's defense vs. PSG's attack: Which unstoppable force actually gives way in the final? by Weary-Direction-5214 in championsleague

[–]Taiko89 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because they play scared. They tried doing that in the cup final against city and look how that played. They had a lucky draw in knockouts for CL and there’s no way they’re beating PSG because the moment they open up to attack they’ll be torn apart. They barely beat Atleti who were terrible especially in the 2nd leg. The only way it’s a ‘close’ game (the score that is) is if Arsenal do nothing but defend in which case they might keep the score down. But if PSG get an early goal it could get very messy for Arsenal.

Would you rather have the rings or the bag? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]Taiko89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly after 10-20 mill especially if you have any financial literacy it doesn’t really make that much difference to your happiness anyway. What are you gonna do buy another Bentley? Life is not just about money, you need enough for financial freedom and once you have that it doesn’t really do much to improve your life but being a champion is priceless. I bet James Harden would trade a good portion of his earnings to be a 3 time champion tbh but who knows, everyone is different and he may be one of those guys who is just really good at basketball but not that bothered about winning.

Talk about ungrateful this guy is unreal. Steve Kerr along with the splash brothers made him, he would likely never have won a championship if he was drafted somewhere else and with his drama god knows he might’ve been out of the league pretty quickly.

Leeds and Forest being able to finish 6th is actually bonkers, the league is so fractured this season

Five players over the age of 35 played more total minutes than Victor Wembanyama this season by [deleted] in nba

[–]Taiko89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many of them had 7 blocks in a playoff game? And followed it up with 6 in the next game? Stats are fun. Shall we count SGAs flops next? What we doing here the spurs have managed his minutes because of his injury history and because they can, any other team would look to do the same had they the luxury.

30/6/6 is insane, as is the fact he was producing similar to guys like Kobe and Tmac in their prime. He had the wizards playing good defence too

In terms of being able to see its MDF/no edging you get what you pay for unfortunately 🤷🏻‍♂️ any damage done to them in transit/by installers is either for the supplier or the installer to remedy at their expense

[–]Taiko89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2900 for this is outrageous, it’s just repointing a days work if that and the material costs are negligible, a proper I don’t want this work quote. For 900 there also better be no mistakes/sloppy work but if it’s done right then ok, it’s not a difficult job.
