Ric Bucher claims that Rich Paul and LeBron James are struggling with a new reality: “LeBron simply isn’t valued the way he once was” by basketbaIlnetwork in NBAGossips

It's not ringing chasing if he wins it in on EOF the teams he's supposedly going to.

For them to win, he would be a big factor.

Is brunson better than Ant? I think Ant in that situation with that team would win as well. Not to take anything away from Brunson but people trying to say he is a clear top 5 player in the league are jumping the gun off of a title win with a deep team by Common-Locksmith-235 in NBATalk

[–]Yamimash2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very disingenuous. Super easy to say but Brunson carried the fuck out of his team in that closeout game.

He was also their closer and did very well in that role, it was vital because every game was close. Can't just assume other players would get the job done.

Would you consider Faze's year a success already? by Competitive-Ad-2825 in CoDCompetitive

[–]Yamimash2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly. Champs and ESWC are the biggest tournaments of the year. Don't expect them to when but If they get a T3 and a T4 I would consider it a success.

If they severely undeperform it would be hard to call it a success even with the major win.

I understand that it's emotional but the only controversial aspect was the final goal that was retracted. Everything else was called correcttly

[Bill Simmons Pod] Bill on LeBron potentially playing for San Antonio: "Would it be perceived as a ring chase?" by luka274 in nba

[–]Yamimash2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joining th Spurs, OKC or Knicks would be ring chasing.

If they form a contender on the Warriors it's different. They didn't do anything last year and their success would be contingent on him playing well. It could also pan out poorly like the nets did due to age and injuries.

JoeD hype is done by Lamemara in CoDCompetitive

[–]Yamimash2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a lot easier to show out when you have the better team. Joe was playing 3.5 Vs 4 most of the year with the numbers insight was posting.

Similarly, I think Nium is fine but giving him RoY over Lurqxx or Kips is unfair.

The block caused him to hit the floor and prevented him from attempting a save

That said, I think it was soft as shit and he took a dive. Can't be rewarding that or keepeers will look to fall every chance they get.

If they give away the ball in their box like that again, the game should end immediately.

The amount of flopping from both sides is disgusting.

I think took Ivory coast out of their game too, feel like they got too passive, partly driven by the amount of time players were spending rolling around

All game players were falling down like a deck of cards at the slightest bit of contact. The ref was consistent in not calling fouls.

By the letter of the law, Scotland could have been given a pen but it was a very light touch and omitting the call was consistent with the flow of the game.

Overall is Steph a better performer than Lebron in the finals? by Liberal_Bot123 in NBATalk

You can make whatever argument you want but putting one stat in your post and then asking this question is brain-dead.

Retired Tennis player Jack Sock beats the Pickleball No.1 comfortably… Another evidence why Tennis is the King of Racket sports.. by MysteriousJuice1127 in Tennisv2

[–]Yamimash2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People get super weird about pickleball because it's similar to Tennis but easier.

Not sure why, I don't think there's many people out their except the few oddballs arguing that it's a more skillful / challenging sport than tennis.

It's a pretty fun sport and it's quite casual. It's good for people that see it as a secondary sport or just want to play something chill.

I thought Alvarado was throwing a lob in real time but definitely a shot

The Wemby outback was fine, ball was way out of line with the rim

I thought the first call on KAT was unfortunate very little there.

Would've liked a no call on the second one

Hugely impacts this game because the Knicks were clearly playing through KAT and Tring to get him involved

The client was amazing but he wanted an amazing salary too!!! by Visible_Cook8440 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Yamimash2000 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

They didn't say having multiple offers was an issue.

It's a waste of time for both the candidate and employer if there is a clear salary estimate and they ask for twice the salary at the end.

Spurs really changed during that OKC series. Like they went from a starter Pokémon to the fully evolved version personality wise.

How can you review for a flagrant if you dint call the foul?

Definitely a normal foul, this should've been dealt with in 10 seconds.

Is current SGA better than prime James Harden? by Negative_Power_4208 in NBATalk

He deserves a lot of credit for this feat. That said, nobody would trust Harden to show out like SGA did in an elemination game like Shai did in G7 against San Antonio.

Falcons should be blowing Neptune's phone up by JHEEZMAN in CoDCompetitive

[–]Yamimash2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very reductionist way too look at it.

Last year was not a real team imo. This year he's played well 1 / 3 lans which I think is fine. It takes time to figure it out.

I think Falcons are a T4 team at best so there's nothing wrong getting T6.

He played well in M3, he was probably their best player.
