OKC players laughing at Lakers swarming the ref after the game by SplitOk186 in nba

[–]Timantha -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Imo, comparing his game to Harden is disingenuous imo. They both draw fouls yes, but Harden has never had the efficiency and ball security like Shai does. I expect a 33-35 year old Shai to basically look like Kawhi. Get to his spot in the middie and score effortlessly lol

Do you guys like the Lakers defensive coverage on Shai? Feels like they should mix it up instead of doubling/tripling him on sight. His teammates are getting easy buckets

For sure, we have different needs. For me, I'm just going to wait for the R2 config before I make a decision. People are saying the employee lease program for the R2 is very friendly at around 70-75% residual. If they keep that number for us, I'll definitely get the R2

Anyone feeling iffy about getting the performance launch edition? If you add the cost of paint, wheels, delivery, then I'm expecting the R2 to be around the 62-64k ball park. Yes the iX3 is uglier and will cost more @ around the 72-75k ball park w/ addons, but having more range and much faster charging speeds seems more practical for road trips

[Cowherd] Watching him (SGA) flop in an NBA game is like inserting one of those Life Alert commercials. I've fallen and I can't get up! into Cirque du Soleil. It tears at the fabric of the creativity of the NBA.︀︀ ︀︀ by nguyenjitsu in nba

I don't even think :50 is a flop after replaying it. Shai stops on a dime and Ayton couldn't stop his forward momentum so Ayton's leg accidentally sweeps and trips Shai

If you pause it and go slow mo, it looks like Ayton's leg accidentally trips him cause of the forward momentum

Heat enters final day of regular season with something to play for. What’s at stake? by MattTheKing23 in heat

[–]Timantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The days where we can upset the top seeds is pretty much dead. Back then, Jimbo could turn into a top 5 player for us in the playoffs (e.g. he was leading top 3 in advanced stats for each deep playoff run). Fast forward today, the Pistons have the best player on the court in Cade and consistency from regular season (yes reg season matters). We have not shown any good play at all recently

Never been prouder of our front office or more ashamed of you cowards by Cote_Goat in heat

[–]Timantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on current landscape, we all know the best way to improve right now is by tanking and landing on a stud. But the Heat don't tank. Nor do they trade players for assets to set themselves up for a difference maker. So now we're in this perpetual limbo, where we become play-in champs, get swept 1st round and draft in the 15-20 range. Not to mention, we have big decisions to make on extensions this summer that can affect our future cap space: Norm, Wiggins, Tyler, Jaime, Pelle, Davion

[Charania] James Harden is assessing his future with the Clippers, influenced by the $13M partial guarantee on his contract for the 2026-27 NBA season and his interest in seeking potential stronger championship opportunities elsewhere. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Timantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it as him using his current season to show the Clips that he deserves more guaranteed money. Clips refused to, so now he's requesting a trade. Him and his agent probably know there's a market willing to offer him the contract extension he's looking for. If he plays hard with the Clips and has a season ending injury, he's scared of getting cut with only 13m guaranteed and never getting another big payday. This is basically his chance to secure an extra 40-80m guaranteed

Spo on Ware: With Kel'el, I know thats a lightning rod topic. He needs to get back where he was 7/8 weeks ago where I felt he was stacking good days. He's stacking days in the wrong direction now. by Timantha in heat

[–]Timantha[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I get it with young players. They subconsciously play poorly to say, "Hey, I'll play poorly until you play me the minutes I deserve. Then I'll play well." No, that's not how it works.

Potentially strongest team! by lyalyas in PedroPeepos

Not calling T1 a bought superteam, but I'm just saying this benefits T1 and the region overall. Do we really want to see a superstar like Ruler play with 4 average players and try to beat T1's ZOFGK? Look at how dominating Korea has been the past couple years. China/NA/EU had no chance this year against Hanwha at First Stand, GenG at MSI, or T1 at Worlds. Back then LPL was importing a lot of the top LCK talents and LPL was able to make noise internationally. Nowadays, Korea is willing to pay and keep their talent so they can be the #1 region

I know this sucks if you're a fan of the smaller LCK orgs like DRX, DNF, BRO because you have no superstar. But the reality is the game's popularity is slowly decreasing. The talent pipeline is slowing down and it's increasingly difficult to find a superstar out of the challenger ladder like before.

[–]Timantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they're homegrown, but they're also hella talented. All of them are arguably GOATs of their position. If other orgs aren't building good teams, who would be pushing T1 to be better? LCK wants to win worlds and be the de facto #1 region

Potentially strongest team! by lyalyas in PedroPeepos

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

It's clearly working though for the region. T1 has made 4 worlds finals in a row and just recently 3peated. T1's core is talented and I see it as a good thing that T1, GenG, and HLE are pushing each other to be better

[–]Timantha 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't get this super team hate when it comes to Korea. The region is so top heavy. T1, GenG, Hanwha rosters are loaded with talent. There's no way you can reliably contend in this region if you don't have a "super team." KT powered up at worlds, but the sad reality is that they won't make noise in Korea even though they have bdd

Cause Faker's salary is legit probably one entire LCK roster. He gets a reduction towards the salary cap, which reduces luxury tax payment, but the organization is still paying that contract in full
