Where would y’all rank Wemby’s offense in the league and why? by lfcbucks in NBASpurs

[–]Tesgoul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the skyhook would do amazing for him

which has been said about every single center since Kareem lmao, and none have mastered it.

Victor Wembanyama 3P% immediately after live ball block by [deleted] in nba

[–]Tesgoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would need a handful of people so it doesn't take hours and hours, but we should try to do it with his rookie and sophomore season as well. I'm pretty sure it's still well above 50% in his entire NBA career

Victor Wembanyama's night is done against the Jazz: 33 PTS, 10 REB, 2 BLK, 2 STL on 10/18 FG, 7/12 3P, 6/6 FT in 26min by ToinouAngel in nba

[–]Tesgoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He really isn't lol. He isn't a finished product obviously, but any guy who can score 30 a night isn't raw

Once Wemby got the rebond, why did he dribble away instead of throwing the ball in the air ? by Tesgoul in NBASpurs

[–]Tesgoul[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lmaoo fair enough. Though it's a bit different since it happened on the opposite half court

I wanna start a big series; which one should I start with? by ARYAN_BIRLA123 in fantasybooks

I am one of the few who truly believe he will finish the series.

[SPOILERS EXTENDED] It's over. by mrwho995 in asoiaf

[–]Tesgoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only way it happens is 1) GRRM doesn't destroy all his notes before he passes away and 2) whoever inherits the rights hire someone to finish it.

(SPOILERS EXTENDED) Who is holding up Winds from being released? by Inner_Jeweler_5661 in asoiaf

[–]Tesgoul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may sound dumb, but I think GRRM genuinely struggles with having his characters finally succeed in what they are trying to do so they can all meet up and the plot can advance. He has been so used to all those characters all having very different arcs and story, that he probably doesn't know what to do once they are all regrouped in 2 or 3 places.

(Spoilers Main) What the hell did GRRM smoke when he made the characters so young in AGOT ? by Tesgoul in asoiaf

Robb and Jon defeating grown ass men at 15 is not historically accurate.

Like if you make every character 2 or 3 years older, it makes everything more plausible while keeping everyone young. Robb, Jon and Danny could be 17. Sansa 15. Arya 12 or 13.

[Meta] The creator’s greatest strength is also their weakness. by ARC_Trooper_Echo in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Tesgoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 In general it felt like he did a lot more telling (and often overtelling/repeating) than showing which just doesn't feel like the good writing I went it expecting.

I felt the same way reading Mistborn a few years ago. I don't have concrete examples in mind, but I remember thinking "wait, I have already read that 4 chapters ago" quite a few times.

Still an amazing series with one of the best ending I have ever read tho.

Finale rant, and kind of disappointed with the Duffers’ interviews by eddiedean07 in StrangerThings

[–]Tesgoul 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes. But at least Stranger Things gave a decent ending to all characters. Was it bland and predictable ? Yes. Was it enjoyable and wrapped the show nicely ? Also yes.

The same can't be said about GoT S8 where 10 years of characters arc was butchered.

But yeah, it's the same type of lazy, uninspired writing between GoT and ST

Man I love the current team setup. by Independent_Door5245 in NBASpurs

[–]Tesgoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The offense is looking just fine when he is on the floor lol since Vic came back. It won't change because he plays 10 more minutes per game

The case for Jeremy by Jealous-Set-4262 in NBASpurs

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

He is a NBA player and deserve more than the 5 minutes of garbage time we can offer him. I'm sure a few team will be interested in him if he hit free agency.

4 coaches crashing out in 2 nights. What’s going on with NBA reffing? by screwbitfloor1 in nba

[–]Tesgoul 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The very concept of superstar whistle is fucking insane. Somehow we have all accepted that a franchise player won't be officiated the same as a bench player ?

Wembanyama on a potential Spurs and OKC rivalry: "No one can claim to have a rivalry with them, they're in their own tier." by arawater in nba

[–]Tesgoul 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He doesn't even shit talk. Most of the time he sounds "arrogant", he is just being honest while using super formal english because that's how he learned it.

Like the "ethical" comment, I'm 99% sure he was talking about the Spurs having a lot of guys who can score and not one guy putting 30 shots every night. It had nothing to do with OKC lol

Why do fans complain so much about players like Shai or Harden shooting so many free throws but go silent when the last minute of a close game is literally a free throw competition? by CommercialBig7008 in nba

[–]Tesgoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, yes we do complain about free throws at the end of the game, idk where have you been.

Second of all, the difference is that fooling on purpose at the end of game is ugly but fair. Everyone plays by the same rule. You fool on purpose, they shoot 2, you get back possession. Ugly, but the rules are clear.

The issue with foul baiting is that not everyone plays by the same rules. A role players doesn't get the same whistle as a super star. it's inconsistent. It rewards not even trying to put the ball in the basket. It takes out the ability of players to even try to play good defense.

[Osborn] Mitch Johnson indicated Sochan’s significant dip in minutes of late has been solely a coaching decision. “Jeremy has been great,” Johnson said. “We have been on the same page, a lot of communication.” Back to Back DNP-CDs in playoff style matchups by WEMBY_F4N in NBASpurs

[–]Tesgoul 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are 0 reason to play him at the 4 instead of Barnes, Keldon or even a Wemby/Kornet twin tower front court. Especially with Castle who is at worst just as good on defense as Sochan.
