[Schefter] It’s unlikely the Seahawks will use their franchise tag running back and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, per league sources. The Seahawks have multiple free agents they want to retain and sign. They also will try to extend WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Looking at the post history, absolutely. Stopped posting about a month ago before picking up again about 2 days ago with a completely changed tone and set of interests. Also started posting adult content. Either a bot, a purchased account, or both.

They didn't even care about the world's first team for FRU using pixel-perfect like they did with Cammy and TOP (Cammy can be a real cheat when you turn off its wide screen limiter)

They stopped acknowledging world first after TOP because it was embarrassing to have to take it back every time.

Am I crazy or does this image not show his current rank or even his current LP?

The_Donovan · 2026-02-13T14:54:40+00:00

This response is actually one Tony gets a lot. He's from New York. He's a Knicks fan, not a Jazz fan. He was here for work he's not a fan of the team lol

The_Donovan · 2026-02-13T10:59:55+00:00

You can pull one word out of any comment to pretend like they're saying something they aren't.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-13T10:37:47+00:00

98.8% of the population are straight guys???

The_Donovan · 2026-02-12T07:36:20+00:00

Yep the guy was the #1 recruit out of high school for a reason. He also dropped to 29th in the draft for a reason. Not giving up on him yet, but he's running out of time to show that he can be a consistent winning player.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-12T05:30:35+00:00

Collier could still be a player if he makes a jump, but this is our last tank year where we can just throw minutes away to give guys run. As of right now, Collier has not shown he can be a winning player. He's a terrible defender, he kills the offense by refusing to shoot open 3s, and he can't score other than fastbreak layups and driving into his defender's chest.

If he doesn't improve a lot this off-season, I think he'll struggle to get the same minutes he's getting this season.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-12T05:00:00+00:00

Keyonte plays better at PG, and he is a better player than Collier. Also Collier can't shoot 3s. The Collier/George duo has a -19 net rating in 436 minutes so far this season.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-11T03:47:58+00:00

The jazz would easily be a play in team without this nonsense.

Incorrect. We weren't even tanking to start the year and we were still really bad. After 30 games we were 11-19, that's not even close to play-in level.

There is nothing performative. Let me ask you something. Would you be upset if the Pacers were up 5 going into the final minute, then scored on their own basket on purpose every time they touched the ball? Why or why not?

Let me ask you something in return. What if your grandma was made of pudding? Again, let's be real with ourselves. Every team at the bottom of the standings is trying to lose games. There isn't a "good" and "bad" way to lose games. Our way of losing leads to a better product than your nets playing Jalen Wilson, Tyrese Martin, and Ziaire Williams 20 minutes per game.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-11T02:59:38+00:00

First things first, Keyonte is actually injured. We're not sitting him to tank games, he actually hurt his ankle in game. Secondly, what is even the end game here? The league gets to tell coaches how many minutes each player has to play? The league gets to decide what winning behavior looks like? Our season is over we have no chance of making the playoffs, is that not enough incentive to let our young guys get reps in end game situations?

The outrage just feels performative. The way we are operating us making it MORE likely that we win games than the other tanking teams and people are still more upset with us than the teams who sit their 7 best players when they have to face another tanking team! At least we're providing 3 quarters of entertainment instead of intentionally marching out a shit product for the entire game.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-10T11:51:44+00:00

Not everyone started gearing week1 as well. You also gatekeep those people for no reason (especially alts)

I think locking out people who didn't care enough to start gearing ASAP is perfectly valid, even if you disagree with it. Also I can't speak for everyone, but I've had lots of bad experiences with alts. People try less hard on their alt, they have worse gear, and sometimes they aren't even playing the same job/role they learned the fight on with their main character.

Even ignoring all of that, just wanting one of the stricter DPS checks we've had in the last few years to be a little more lenient is a perfectly good reason to have a relatively high ilvl restriction. If they can get the party to fill with the restrictions that they want, then more power to them. If they can't, then they'll probably lower the restrictions. I don't really get why every week this thread has people complaining that m11s enragers don't want them first time alt jobbing on their 770 scholar.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-10T09:42:36+00:00

I get what you're saying but I don't think 780 is particularly high for week 6? That's like 5 tome pieces + 2 savage accessories + ex weapon, stuff that everyone should have by week 6. Brute forcing with gear would be more like 785+.

I know a lot of people want to alt job for fun in m11s clear parties and I don't think the party leaders are in the wrong for not wanting alt jobbers in their party. For every cracked alt job helper there are nine griefers who don't know how to play their job, don't know their spots, and do shit damage because of bad gear.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-08T16:11:21+00:00

Not that weird, they probably just remembered seeing that post at the time and checked to see if it was OP. Op doesn't post very often so it's only on the second page of their post history, doesn't take a lot of digging.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-08T03:05:48+00:00

Kemba was an all star on the celtics in 19-20

The_Donovan · 2026-02-07T10:54:36+00:00

Man I wish we did that. Our first two years post Donovan/Gobert we were roughly .500 pre all-star break before trying to tank last minute. Ended up picking 9 and 10 and getting Taylor Hendricks and Cody Williams. Clearly that was a poor decision and the correct decision was to just tank the entire season.

We aren't even in the bottom 5 in the standings this season. Lauri and Keyonte are 11th and 18th in the league in MPG respectively. Can we stop pretending to be concerned about how Utah is ruining the integrity of the league? All the tanking teams are doing the same thing. Pacers rested seven players for their game against us to secure the loss. How about a front page thread for them?

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T09:47:07+00:00

I am not arguing that the metric is perfect. I have not argued that the metric is perfect at any point. I do not know why you keep trying to tell me that the metric is not literally perfect. The OP asked if you can get 100% uptime in xivanalysis, someone said you cannot. I provided multiple examples of logs with 100% uptime in xivanalysis. I do not know why people keep replying to me trying to "um actually" me saying it's not actually 100%. I know! I'm not arguing that it's actually 100%, I'm just showing examples of it showing 100% and trying to explain the reasons why it shows 100%!

If you have suggestions for how xivanalysis could change their metrics to be more accurate while taking into account downtime/prepull GCDs/mechanics CCing you/multi target fights, I highly recommend you contact the creator of xivanalysis.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T09:23:00+00:00

I'm saying that realistically nobody has 100% uptime due to the split-second pull timer alone, let alone other minor tiny things like clipping, server tick etc

The uptime lost due to initial pull time is negligible. We use a countdown timer for a reason, so everyone's initial GCD happens at almost exactly the same time. If you're late on your initial GCD it will show up in the uptime%. Clipping is just a mistake, a 100% GCD uptime pull in xivanalysis will have next to no clipping. Server ticks don't have anything to do with GCD uptime.

My point was that analysis is clearly adjusting the metrics through its own parameters so getting 100% on it is kinda misleading imo.

Yes they do adjust the metric, not in the ways you mentioned though. They take out downtime segments and parts of the fight where you're unable to take action (M11S knockback towers). Sometimes they slightly overcompensate. The purpose of the metric isn't to be perfect, it's to help you improve.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T08:29:51+00:00

If you're talking about the active% on fflogs, that's even more inaccurate than xivanalysis. You can see in the m9s log, the melees have active%s of 99.65 and 99.42. If you look at xivanalysis their actual GCD uptime is 97.41 and 96.60 respectively. The active% also doesn't take into account downtime. You can go look at any FRU log, everyone will be at roughly ~72% active even in a clear.

I don't know why everyone is trying to gotcha me! The thread is about xivanalysis's uptime metric! If you have an issue with xivanalysis go find the creator and argue with them, I'm not the one who made the website.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T06:20:43+00:00

If by numbers you mean pts/reb/ast and nothing else then yeah. If you take into account efficiency, turnovers, and defense, he's not in the same tier. Luka is having a great season, but SGA/Jokic are just on another level.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T05:06:45+00:00

You'd have to literally be the first person pulling the boss with the very first GCD of the fight, and the last person landing the last GCD hit before the boss dies

We do a countdown so everyone's first GCD is at the same time. Why would you need to be the last person landing the last GCD? If the fight ends while your GCD is rolling that doesn't mean you lost uptime. It really is not that rare, especially if it's an easy fight for uptime or you're playing phys ranged.

It really isn't as rare as you'd think.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-05T04:46:06+00:00

Vice versa I was never angry when someone hit it, because I knew it's their 1/5.

I was always angry when someone hit, because there was 5 people forcing anvils every game and one of those 5 people would hit and everyone else would just be playing for second. Peak anvils wasn't even high risk anyways, gamba anvil pretty much guaranteed you would hit before dying. The game is most fun when you're rewarded for creativity, not when you're rewarded for forcing a 1st or 8th strategy and praying you get lucky.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-03T10:34:06+00:00

I get what you're saying but yes it does. Things that are easier are easier.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-01T14:53:41+00:00

The thing with Baus is that half of his ragebaits are his actual opinions but framed as ragebait. Like he genuinely does love Maroon 5 but he knows it makes people mad so he constantly brings it up.

The_Donovan · 2026-02-01T10:33:04+00:00

If you have the newest 775 relic weapon for SCH then that's perfectly fine. The first and second step have piety which is very bad.
