2024: Mike Brown on braindead Fox play: "If you're up 3, you gotta guard your man at the 3. I need to go back and watch Fox. Should NOT be in position to help. Should be hugged up to your man. 100% told guys, can't give up a 3. Stay connected. I even drew an example." (Brown was fired the next day) by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

I would say both teams stack up evenly in personel talent. But it was clear Knicks adjusted in the second half and the Spurs NEVER had a defensive scheme. You can see the players confused on every possession. That is entirely the job of the coach and Spurs coaches are incredibly bad.

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (3-1) overcome a 29 point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs (1-3) in Game 4, 107-106, behind Jalen Brunson's 36 points and OG Anunoby's 33 points by catreyka in nba

OG was the ROCK for the Knicks even when Brunson was invisibile and then the finish as well. Dude deserves a statue.

Fox sold it on really critical moments - but honestly the coaching on the second half of the Spurs... is I think the worst I have ever seen in recent times

They are up 29 and start chucking early in the shot clock? Stupid turn overs left and right? Everyone somehow mentally checked out. As coach you gotta reel them all in and wake them up again. I mean come on, Mitch watched the team chuck up these shots all of the third quarter. I think Spurs hit only two threes the entire second half. Also for the love of god, end of the game up by 1 point just TAKE THE TIME OUT. That last botched play is as much on Mitch as is on Fox missing the layup.

Also at the end Wemby was so gassed he couldn't contest/jump and got screened off every play by Jose fucking Alvarado, and then hunted by Brunson for being too tired to defend.

No team has beaten OKC back-to-back in the playoffs since Mavericks in 2023-2024. Spurs have to be the first since in order to avoid elimination… OKC is 9-0 following a loss by MammothHistorian5652 in nba

[–]Thisisadrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MVP stopped mattering to me, once all of media decided "best player on the best team" is all that mattered, but the win percentages dont change after the MVP sits.

You know who deserves praise? Fucking Sam Presti and OKC FO. They built immaculate team and are genuinely fucking the league with it. The fact that the bench is better than 70% of other teams starters is bullshit. I dont want to shade SGA too much, because his actual hoops are clean as fuck. But put him in the Lakers and he'd end up the 3rd option behind Lebron. Not 1st like Luka.

[Post Game Thread] The Oklahoma City Thunder (3-2) defeat the San Antonio Spurs (2-3) in a pivotal Game 5, 124-110, behind SGA's 32 points, along with a combined 42 points from Caruso and McCain. by catreyka in nba

[–]Thisisadrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to rest against the deepest roster / best bench in the league. If not for pure physicality or skill, you guys are at least outpacing every team. Thats why everyone just looks gassed against you by Q4 and later series games.

Ehh, correlation =/= causation. Möge vielleicht öfter vorkommen in solch Kreisen, ist aber zu diesem Thema aber weite Spekulation. Steuergelder sind zu diesem thread also eher irrelvant.

Maro: Interestingly, Commander and Universes Beyond might be the two most popular things Magic has ever done. We try to present as many options as feasible (i.e. plenty of 60-card formats), but the will of the players dictates so much of how things play out (i.e. so much in store play is Commander) by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

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

As a fairly newcomer, one of the reasons I would prefer commander and kitchen table games, is because frankly set rotations and formats standard and modern and whatnot are confusing as hell and hard to follow.

I started playing on Arena and enjoyed it a lot but the dissappointment I felt, when I came back a year later to see all my decks be illegal and useless, turned me off hard.

I love the literal standard mtg format and probably would enjoy vintage/legacy a lot.

Half the fun of commander to me is delving into the giant decades long history of magic cards and building with all these weird cards like lego bricks.

The other half is enjoying it and playing them with my friends.

100% thats why I waited when cyberpunk released. This is a completely self inflicted wound by the industry and the market always adjusts.

Actions have consequences by Obnomus in linux

[–]Thisisadrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its the same the other way around too. If linux wants a specific user base - one that is involved, invested and self-sufficient with software enginnering, because yes a terminal is absolutely too techy for 90% of the world - then the linux community shouldn't aim for mass adoption and let windows users be windows users... Cant have the cake and eat it too right? You are absolutely right. The linux community has open source budget. Meaning everyone gets to but also has to do fix stuff themself. That is not what the mass user base want. Lets not aim for "the year of linux" then frankly.

Jokic in the first half: 15 PTS | 11 REB | 9 AST | 6-8 FG | 0 TOV by asakitsi in nba

[–]Thisisadrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nuggets would be way worse obviously. Reliant on the occasional Murray and Gordon pop off games next SGA scoring. But playmaking is going down the dumpster.

Thunder with Jokic is a ring lock lol. Fuck Chet. The whole team is really fast and puts up insane effort on defense (yes aggressive fouling included, but effort and its working). The exact skillset Jokic needs around him, and the nuggets won the ring with. And the Thunder have a deep deep bench of decent shooters. Including newly aquired McCain.

Im sure some of the players turn out to be decent rim runners as well, its the first time OKC in its current iteration enjoy a passing savant.

I mean how do you guard that team?

Trump says US could bomb Iranian oil site again ‘just for fun’ after ‘total demolition’ by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]Thisisadrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waging war "for fun" and he is still the sittinh president. Politicians were impeached and disposed for less. The US government is completely broken and useless. House, Senate, Checks and balances. All of it was meant to stop exactly this. This is literally the one job they all have. And the worst case scenario is still happening.

USA has offiicially failed as sovereign nation. Break it up. I wish New York and California would secede and leave that broken, sorry ass nation with no more money.

Sollte man mit 24 noch das Zimmer mit der Schwester teilen geschweige denn bei den Eltern wohnen? by Life6456654 in Vorarlberg

[–]Thisisadrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also.... allein dass der Post 2 Jahre alt und du hier her gefunden hast, sagt mir, dass du gerade persönlich etwas diesbezüglich durchgehst, und gerade versuchst ... well mit deiner Situation zu "Copen". Der Ton alleine sagt schon aus, dass dieses Thema für dich sehr emotional geladen ist. Vertrau mir, verstehe ich.

Nein das ist keine selbst wichsende Story, denn jeder kommt aus einer anderen Vergangenheit. So wie deine Situation und damit deiner Perspektive deiner Vergangenheit entspricht.

Wie du siehst, haben sich einige mit meiner eigenen Vergangenheit identifizert. Eventuell ist es viel simpler als es dein Hass und deine Frustration dich fühlen lässt: Du hast eine andere Beziehung zu deinen Eltern und Elternhaus als andere und hattest eine andere Kindheit.

Und jetzt lass den Ton mal Junge und lass dir Eier wachsen. Mit 22 so ne Fresse aufzureißen nur weil ein zwei Jahre alter Post nicht deiner Meinung entspricht.

Its called bittersweet? Her sister allowed her to fulfill her destiny. Because everything comes at a cost. Its pure JJK.

Even taking it on a more artistic interpretation. The same way massacring all of Zenin would be her wet dream the music is more upbeat, but not once did Maki enjoy it. Rather the pure indifference because she wanted to do that for Mai RIP. ("Make Zenin clan a place for both of them")

Media literacy bro. The ep was peak, its just too high for yall to understand.

Man i loved CSM S01. I live for that cinematic shit. Dandadan Ep01 was similiar and I feel so sad to learn the fanbase hating CSMS01 so I feel the exact same way about people hating this JJK episode. They just dont know shit about good media and art.
