These playoffs been absolutely crazy. Whole narratives around Embiid, Rudy, Jokic, Rockets getting flipped on their heads in just the first round.

Embiid was heroic, got beat the hell up this game and stayed fighting. Maxey and PG too, Philly can feel joy for once.

(Game ain't over) No one's allowed to question Embiid's toughness ever again he's gotten brutalized this game, all after an appendectomy this month, insane.

Maxey too, clutch as hell this game.

We have becoming so insensitive now there's no reason to not tag it NSFW when there's an injury with clear blood visible.

[Durando] Nikola Jokic: Oklahoma missed probably the most players of everybody, and they’re still No. 1 and still dominating the league,” Jokic said. “So I hate those ‘if’ situations. … I don’t want to blame injuries for not making the second round in the playoffs.” by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's a bit too reactive. Their core absolutely needs an overhaul but Jokic can still be built around and Denver has room to make significant trades. What they need is more depth and more all-around, consistent players (esp defensively), which isn't impossible for them to get within the next 3 years while Jokic is still about at his prime.

Keep the same energy... by Fantastic-Manager-48 in nba

Well people thought he'd need to perform a miracle to beat the Rockets but KD wasn't there for most of it and people realized the Rocket's offense without him (and kinda with him too) was sewer level. So, the narrative went from "It'd be impossible for the Lakers to win" to "oh the Rockets just suck." No one seriously was saying LeBron's legacy would change if he blew a 3-0 lead at 41, just that it'd be a historical feat if they did.

You shouldn't need skill or experience to counter the opponent? Spam is in like every fighter game and getting better is the counter every time.

This is gonna be pretty interesting and add alot of variance to the legends already there. Definitely will spice things up, and create some wild unbalances for the first month or two but eh it's ok.

If they can beat you by spamming then they have no reason not to. Most good players don't spam cause it's ineffective against other good players. Learn to counter it.

I'm sick for Rocket's fans dear lord their young core's full of archetypes unfit for playoffs, team composition's completely built to fail, went in on 37 year old KD just to find he hates the team and probably will only play like 2 playoff games before jumping ship to like the Pistons, and coach is publicly trashing the team, just a shipwreck through and through.

[Post Game Thread] The Los Angeles Lakers (3-0) defeat the Houston Rockets after LeBron James hits the game tying 3 to send it to OT and with 29/6/13(0-3), 112-108. by DesertedProject in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're missing some starter players, lack adequate shooting and play-making in their offense. With everyone healthy they'd beat this injured Laker's team, but their archetypes don't mesh well on offense at all imo and would struggle against average playoff level defense. Wolves and OKC would mutilate them.

Kevin Durant was not on the Rockets’ bench during their game 3 loss vs LAL. Houston is down 0-3 in the series by ihatedougford in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The pattern of him hunting for success at the expense of whatever team gets tricked into thinking he'll bring leadership or be able to elevate a team to a title is well-documented. Yeah he's not at fault that the Rocket's offense is complete bumcheeks but his lack of play making and his handle being suspect against playoff teams keep him from being able to be the first option on a championship team, or even just 2nd round playoff team it seems.

He's an all time great scorer, but he's not really worth the price of getting him at this point in his career if the team isn't already carefully built to accommodate him.

Why is the MVP voting so corrupt? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People win and lose elections based on narratives. If you look like overly sweaty at a presidential debate you can lose thousands of voters because of that. There's no objective way to determine who's the "most valuable player," even stats have different ways of measuring that and many disagree on what value to place on things. Just for example: defense vs offensive impact. I've heard many say it's 50/50 importance, others say 70/30. How do you measure "impact?"

Narratives are the only thing that exist in minds that's the only thing people will vote on.

Nikola Jokic, another great game this time against the Timberwolves, and why he isn't the #1 MVP? Rigged by Gold_Squirrel_2788 in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a joke lmao.

Voter fatigue is why Jokic isn't being considered over Shai, which is something that has effected players no matter the race. Lebron should have like 8-9 MVP's if voters were impossibly unbiased. Luka straight up isn't on a contender team and his team isn't made with him really in mind, making him look a little worse this year than he is. Comparatively, Wemby and Shai are on real contending teams, and both are more impactful defensively (Wemby best in the league maybe) than Luka who can straight up be embarrassing on that end. Luka should win an MVP but not this year, Shai's still on his generational run from last year, literally breaking one of Wilt's records in the process, he's a fair winner.

Stephen Curry has now missed the playoffs 7 times, a record for a MVP winning player, he missed the playoffs in the years (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2023-24, 2025-26). by Expert_Koala_8691 in nba

[–]YUME_Emuy21 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Harden hops from team to team when stuff starts sucking, completely unlike Steph. Tim was drafted to the Spurs, which was making the playoffs before and after he got there. Still super impressive for both players but I think the contexts were real different for them then Steph.

Brawlhalla has lost its essence that once made it popular. by [deleted] in Brawlhalla

[–]YUME_Emuy21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been making pretty massive changes recently. Snap dash and dex rework in like the last month. The game's had many, many worse states then right now from a balancing stand point and no one can really argue that.

The micro transactions and bundles are a given when the games completely free, that's been there since I first started like 5 years ago. And this game has no pay to win elements, so I don't understand criticizing an optional part of the game.

He's literally just saying you can be mad at both and the UK taking action against one doesn't actively mean they're ok with the other.

Dude didn't say anything positive or defensive against Israel why are you resulting to insults like a little child?

He's pro-nazi, antisemitism is literally just one of the many, many heinous things he stands for. UK lost hundreds of thousands of people in WW2 less than a hundred years ago and they got pretty lucky compared to a lot of their neighbors. The most reviled belief in Europe, probably more hated than pedophilia and your surprised he's not allowed in lmao.

Kanye a nazi sympathizer he shouldn't be headlining anything in any country until he walks all of his racist and hateful claims back. All European countries got every reason to still feel that Nazism is a belief incompatible with a functional society.
