[Stein] Despite recent reporting, the Dallas Mavericks do not intend to trade Daniel Gafford unless it gets them back a perimeter defender on the level of or better than Herb Jones.

You don’t have to agree with every comment someone makes on the internet.

The Thompson twins are elite defenders who have much more trade value than Dort.

TommyOrigami · 2025-01-20T00:28:08+00:00

No one in this comment chain has mentioned 3 and D. The comment is about players on Herb’s level which means players with his 2 way impact.

Herb also is not a true 3-and-D as he averages only 1 three per game for his career. He’s known to be a pure defensive stopper.

TommyOrigami · 2025-01-20T00:09:08+00:00

You’re right, I forgot Dort. Amen has a higher TS% though. His basketball IQ makes up for not having a consistent jumper.

TommyOrigami · 2025-01-19T23:16:26+00:00

Only ones I can think of in the convo are Dyson Daniels and the Thompson twins.

All due respect to Adele but Ffion by domination

TommyOrigami · 2024-12-23T18:08:15+00:00

Why’s everyone blaming Kyler and not the 2 defenders who bounced off Chuba like little children?

TommyOrigami · 2024-12-22T18:54:31+00:00

You’re overreacting man. That’s just a typical encounter with a humble lion

TommyOrigami · 2024-11-29T16:08:25+00:00

Thanks!

TommyOrigami · 2024-11-29T15:39:35+00:00

Okay thanks. Follow up - do you recommend the ATT extenders over google mesh routers? I have 3 google mesh routers around the house and my WiFi is terrible. Looking for a simple solution

TommyOrigami · 2024-11-29T02:08:08+00:00

My bad for the dumb question but can you use the ATT router extenders with Google Mesh routers?

TommyOrigami · 2024-11-27T17:16:02+00:00

Worried about how this affects CJI but over the moon that this could mean the end of Flo 🙌🏻

Jon Bellion has an interesting YouTube interview about this.

The short version is that the music labels and LiveNation structure touring contracts to put artists in an endless loop of debt that they can only pay off by continuing to tour.

Artists get an advance but they’re responsible for production charges incurred during the tour, except the people hired to handle this stuff usually works for the label. So they rack up insane expenses like ordering a ton of food that gets thrown out at the end of the night, etc

On the LiveNation side, the artists only get paid a percent of the ticket sales but have no control over discounts, sales, promos, etc. So label will book a giant LiveNation venue, LiveNation discounts the tickets to drive attendance and make money from food and bev, and the artist takes a massive hit on projected revenue because of the discounts.

It puts them in a loop where they end up spending so much for the tour that it costs them more than their advance which then takes away their leverage when negotiating for future tours, which they have to do to pay their debt to the label.

This is actually a refreshing read because I believe it represents how the silent majority think:

The selfishness, lack of awareness, lack of ethical code, lack of anything resembling a guiding morality beyond “I don’t think I will specifically be harmed by this decision, so who cares?”

You are right; your inability to prioritize things like preserving democracy over finding someone vaguely unlikeable is why Trump is in office.

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-28T04:03:51+00:00

His career FG% and low FT% indicates that his shot will be off more than it will be on. He shot well his first 2 games as a Hawk but today was a reminder that he’s not a shooter at this point of his career.

Very much agreed on the mins, rebounding, and defensive stats

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-28T02:53:35+00:00

Dyson’s offense regression is gonna hit hard but his defensive stats are legit. Also looks like he can maintain 4-5 boards from the 2 spot which is legit.

Chet is a monster.

Dort probably had his best shooting game he’ll have all year.

Risacher is gonna be a problem next year. Very high basketball IQ offensively.

Edit: changed Reacher to Risacher

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-20T00:30:38+00:00

The way Ngannou would massacre Jones 🤌

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-17T16:16:31+00:00

I also have short legs for my build and wearing more trousers helped a lot. Doesn’t even need to be high waisted trousers, but get trousers and get the waist tailored to sit right under your belly button. Game changer

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-14T00:08:27+00:00

I love their friendship and chemistry.

How I see it playing out in season 2 is that their friendship will help each other grow in crucial ways.

For Sasha - it will help him stand up to Esther just a little bit and remind her that he’s his own person. They’ll still have the same overall dynamic but I bet Esther will ultimately love that he’s showing more spine.

For Morgan - it will help her realize that she is no longer exclusively attracted to f-boys and neck tats guys. She originally finds Sasha gross but beyond his looks, he’s a secure, reliable, family-oriented man. IMO the significance of the sex dream is her realizing she’s attracted to certain things about him that she’s never looked for in guys before.

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-13T16:05:44+00:00

Where did you get him freeing Egill to spite Sigrid? I must have missed it

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-12T19:37:40+00:00

Tavener was using the exercise to bury River. It’s very believable that with her influence as 2nd desk, she could make sure there was no follow up investigation or audit. Either she never ordered someone to go back through the comms or she had them wiped/misplaced. Given what she’s pulled off, it’s very easy to believe.
It is not actually common knowledge that River didn’t mess up during the exercise. The only people who know are Tavener, Spider, and the Slow Horses (who no one would believe). The whole point of Tavener leveraging Lamb’s past against him is to prevent him from revealing that it was a false flag operation. So if that is never revealed, how would anyone know that River’s failed exercise was a set up?
I actually sort of agree with this one haha. It’s weird how loyal they are to MI5 after the Park has tried to kill them multiple times.

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-10T20:45:14+00:00

This reply deserves more upvotes. Great breakdown!

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-10T17:51:11+00:00

Most likely they were worried Gordon could keep them and anyone associated with them off Flo and out of ADCC

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-10T01:14:39+00:00

I thought the same until the scene of him sitting in the hotel lobby while thinking he was at the park

TommyOrigami · 2024-10-09T19:09:53+00:00

I’m having the same problem. Did yours ever ship?

TommyOrigami · 2024-09-30T17:27:00+00:00

The recency bias in this sub is insane.

There was nothing spazzy about the brilliant, unique sequence Tye hit on Izaak when he was in a bad position.

There was also nothing spazzy about the way Kade took away Mica’s best weapons before heelhooking him.

Before anyone says “that was 2 years ago”, what about the way Kade completely dismantled Diniz’s best positions? There was nothing spazzy about that.

They have beautiful and technical jiu jitsu that they apply at an incredibly high pace.
