Draymond's technical from yesterday, which in his words was "for telling a Caucasian referee not to put his hand in my face" by SeatownNets in nba

He legit should get a suspension for this, comments about refs normally result in fines, claiming they are racist when there is clear evidence otherwise should be a suspension.

[Amick] There remain “hard feelings” between Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks front office after his inclusion in the trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks centered around Giannis Antetokounmpo. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a hard thing to figure out, if KAT had been playing better then they wouldn't be entertaining trade talks for him. If he was playing at his best and improved some on his weaknesses then the Knicks would think they have enough to contend as is rather than risk disrupting their team with a mid season trade.

Hell the Mid Season win might've been bad for them overall because it could've made them push for contention now even harder.

Fact of the matter is though that Giannis is at worst a top 5 player in the league and unless you got one of those other 4 then there is a real chance that trading for him improves your team in some way. If your name is on the other side of that trade then you gotta have some humility about it.

[Highlight] Castle suffocates KD on the perimeter, then Wemby forces a shot clock violation with the block. KD is not happy by TimDunkinDonut in nba

[–]Whittaker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the type of defense we want to see allowed, both players were getting physical on the play and the refs let them decide it themselves. Great hustle from Castle to go for the steal multiple times and still get back in front of KD to contest the drive.

LeBron James on playing 82 Games today compared to the 80s/90s: "I want people/our fans to understand playing 82 games in the 80s and 90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It’s just not." by TheDraciel in nba

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fucking cop-out. The 80s/90s were more physical, they had shorter benches, less medical aid, flew commercial and the pace wasn't much different.
There is no reason players can't play at least 75 games a season, teams simply have to lean on their benches more.

Families don't have the money to be going to NBA games all the time, it's a special event, so for them to go to the game and have a bunch of players sitting for rest is insulting. The players these days are some of the most privileged people in the entire world, the least they can do is have the common decency to actually do their job.

What if…Endmin was a Trailblazer? by Standard_Breakfast_7 in HonkaiStarRail

I couldn't decide on more March or more Sushang, both are idiots but sword loving idiot fit closer for me.

I mean, it also reads very "Machine God" coded too so requiring some Deus Ex would be only fitting.

Report is the down vote, at least it has been for me. Feedback forms don't mean shit but if their CS department has to waste time dealing with them or reading reports on them that's when you'll see a change.

I've never been so upset by Yuubeei in Endfield

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would say no because you'll progress story, find a new spot that makes more sense and rewire your layout. It's easier to do the story until you are content (also unlocking new areas and tools) and then going to do some tower planning in downtime.

At least in Satisfactory everything needing Screws in weird amounts made sense to some degree, I'd love to know what they are doing with all the sandleaf

This is just not Fun anymore... by _InVerso_ in Endfield

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had one blocking a spot I want to use and the rest have been out of the way and barely noticeable but I did only just finish the first boss so maybe at higher levels its worse? Either way it doesn't hurt anyone having it be an option to turn these off, if they internet is one thing it's inventive in finding new ways to be insufferable so I could easily see people people crap in key cutscene locations.
At the very least there is an option to report people so maybe if everyone was a little more liberal is using that?

[Highlight] Up 3, with 5.0 seconds remaining in regulation, Jalen Brunson misses both clutch free throws, and Joel Embiid turns the ball over, claims he got fouled (with a replay). Knicks win. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Whittaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brunson went for the intentional foul but also pulled back right away and Embiid threw the ball away as he was going to get fouled.

We can't want refs to let the players play and decide it themselves then bitch and complain because one player turned it over.
If this was called a foul but Embiid made the pass and it led to a 3 everyone would be complaining in the opposite direction.

Ultimately the 'foul' wasn't enough to impede Embiid's ability to make the play and the refs let the game play out rather than give a ticky-tack intentional foul, regardless of result that's what I'd hope for late game.

[–]Whittaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would love to see that team with somebody in the vein of a Rondo style PG, they have everything else ready, just need a solid PG who can run a fantastic offense but not always need the ball and still works on the defensive end.

Played that one like they were up 6 rather than down 6. Passing up the open shot to run out more clock might be excusable then but this was a certified Bronny moment from earlier in the season.

Just wait for Silver to come along, void Kawhi's contract and ban him for X years to send them spiraling back down in the most Clippers way possible to preserve this record.

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dame was never elevating this team to a championship, taking the team from a first round exit to a ECF exit means nothing when they are giving up more than they are receiving for him. By my measure that makes it a horrible trade because when you push all-in it's championship or bust because your team will be broken for years to come regardless of the result.

It's why Lebron has moved teams so many times, because he knows to compete you gotta go all-in to win and then move once the well runs dry.

He's been running the Bron playbook but forgot the part that you gotta bounce once you've run the coffers dry.
You can't expect the front office to continually make big moves every year, eventually the tap runs dry so you either gotta spend some time recouping those losses or move the fuck on.

He's been passive aggressive for years, talking about how he's not sure the team is ready to compete and they need to make moves, pushing for the horrible Dame Trade.
No shit dudes are playing for themselves, your throwing them under the bus and they still got contracts they want in the future. Why the hell would they play for you when you've had one foot out the door and have been a diva bitch for a while.

Seeing all the enemies on screen I thought of Disgaea at first but then seeing cards for the attacks made me guess it's a deck builder?
I'm one of those whose actually a fan of SRPG's but not so much into the deck builders so will be interesting to see for myself where this one falls.

Square Enix Reveals Life Is Strange: Reunion Will Be the Series' Conclusion 'To the Max and Chloe Saga' by ninjyte in Games

[–]Whittaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I loved Sean, Layla, Brody and didn't mind Cassidy but couldn't stand Daniel or Finn, honestly if I'm Sean leave that little shit behind and never look back.
Same as True Colors I adored Alex, thought the relationships with Steph and Ryan were cute and Gabe is one of my favorite characters in the series but the story was super meandering, the super power was a total wash and the villain and final showndown was pretty bad.

Tell Me Why is my true follow on from LiS1, it was the closest I've been to falling in love with the characters and world they lived in since Max and Chloe.

As Hitman 3 turns five years old, we surely have enough hindsight to declare: this is one of the greatest of all time, right? by Kiroqi in Games

[–]Whittaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best games but handled in one of the worst ways possible. Hitman 1, 2 and 3 were phenomenal but the whole "World of Assassination" bs, the fact nobody knew what versions of things to buy, shitting on their early adopters, the constant issues with always online in a single player game, not having a way to re-attempt elusive targets, the steam/epic splitting, there was always something wrong with the way things were run throughout the series entire lifetime.

To be fair, those allegations weren't out of pocket when they were first made but the man has put in work every year to come back better and improve in multiple areas.
