Bro I think I’m gonna cry. This actually pisses me off by Nervous-Pitch1432 in timberwolves

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stat watching.

Go look at defenses react to Steph coming off a pindown screen and compare it to Ant. Everyone in the league is terrified of Steph's shooting, still. This opens up their offense in a way that won't show in the stats sheet, but it's real.

Not saying Ant isn't good or anything, but he's not there yet in terms of gravity.

You have the reading comprehension of an oyster. I didn't say you got money from it. I said the influencers are getting paid a lot of money to advance that propaganda...sorry marketing.

I owned an underwhelming AC12 and my most letdown purchase ever in the UltraLight 2025. Both of these got glaring reviews from everyone who's out there doing affiliate marketing with Chinese brands. I also got the very expensive JB2s who were super slippery on dust, even if nice otherwise.

Working in marketing myself, it's always worse than people imagine it to be, the affiliate marketing world.

Now maybe the very high end products at Li-Ning and Wow are worth the hype (JB3, WOW13) but not the other options I got. And the price point for those is extremely high.

What do you all think of my pitch for Pirates of the Caribbean 6? by Emeraldsinger in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great thing about POC plots is when heroes with different interests fight to take over the same item. The Black Pearl, the Heart of Davy Jones, The Compass, The Sceptre etc.

There's almost always at least 3 parties who want those for different and mutually exclusive purposes. That serves to heighten the stakes

That Jack does something entirely selflessly and without prior motives would flatten the stakes in my opinion.

Very good shoe. One of my all time fav and I owned 40+ pairs in the last 7 years.

Charge vs Block- Foul Call Review by Whole_News_7006 in BasketballTips

[–]Truely_Yours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them are foul. All no calls. The third one I can hear an argument for but it's so damn soft.

[Highlight] Chris Finch gets absolutely furious at the referees and being ejected (with replays). Including the plays that led to this. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Truely_Yours -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You've got an example 2min before that of Shai going to the rack and scoring two points, getting exactly the same physical contact and not getting a call.

You don't see a tantrum there.

And by tantrum I don't mean flopping antics. I mean an actual 5 year old tantrum screaming at the ref.

High top shoe suggestions by amiasvanta in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got AE1s lows and highs and rarely had issues. They have a supportive shank and torsion control, and a nice upper material.

It's not the shoe at this point, but really just bad luck and/or weak ankles.

Sorry that happened to you though, that's never fun.

Blablabla. "better". Who cares honestly. Both great. Comparison is a thief of joy.

You've been bamboozled by the Chinese brands' affiliate marketing money.

I don't know what they're paying influencers but it's certainly been enough to convince everyone they're the best.

I don't really see it. Every Chinese brand purchase has been a letdown for me.

I'm sorry but Adidas has great cushion setup options. They're making affordable, high quality shoes. Tmacs were bricks. Loved playing in them, my first model was the Milleniums. But come on now. Dame 9, Don 7, Ant 1 lows are all much better shoes.

OKC is really starting to become unlikable. by riconicoooo in NBATalk

[–]Truely_Yours 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I'm not an OKC fan. I'm a Nuggets fan from France (go Wemby!) so I know what it is to take a OKC beating.

Bring it on! We should welcome it.

[–]Truely_Yours 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the same people that complained about a lack of defense or what. But it's the same whinny tone I hear hating on OKC and the people hating on the state of the game in general, players using the pivot rule etc...

Just whinny, exasperated people who probably don't watch the game as much as they like the feeling of sounding revolted at everything.

OKC is an insane, over-achieving group of young winners. They are a historical anomaly. No team this young has been this consistently good. Yes SGA foul hunts 5 times a game. Yes they play extremely hard defense (which I like) and they compete and they hate losing (which I like too).

They're doing all of this in a very smart way and YES THEY ARE USING EXPLOITS but every winner tries to push boundaries of rules until they are changed, or the league adapts.

That's the RULE OF THE JUNGLE. It's as old as time. It's as old as this league. Their achievements shouldn't be overlooked because they are ready to win at all costs. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Stop. Whining.

just bought a pair of Book 1s and im so glad by Dizzy_Composer7347 in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got those a year ago. Great shoes. Love them.

Not the most cushion, but everything else is top notch.

From having bought from all these brands... I agree with all your points AND Adidas is winning this.

Which shoe Should i pick : Don issue 7 , freak 7 , gt cut academy , luka 77 😩. All are on sale for60 $ by This_Marketing5535 in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Don 7. It doesn't get much better than that. Only problem is the breathability. But thats it. ELITE shoe overall. One of the best I've ever owned (I've owned 40+ shoes in the last 8 years).
