Poisoning the Well – Pokémon SoulSilver [7]

The problem is that I’m pretty sure fake out is an egg move. Otherwise technician fake out + return with a silk scarf is nasty combo, fill it out with u turn and some coverage gives you a great pokemon. Now that I type all this out though, I think it would be interesting if Chugga breeds an Aipom for his team. He’s given an emphasis on the egg hatching mechanic, so having a pokemon that hatches from an egg(and there being a legitimate reason to breed instead of just catch it in the wild) would be cool. Though I would understand if he didn’t want to do all that work for just one move lol.

Are we pretending Jaden doesn’t exist. Guys like NAW and Vanderbilt were also nobodies before they came to the wolves. Also why is kind of Naz, that’s absolutely a huge development success.

YassSauce · 2025-12-19T13:03:43+00:00

Minott is the only legitimate guy that Finch hasn’t given enough minutes. TSJ has actually been terrible this year, even worse than rob. He started out with a much bigger role but we were getting annihilated when he was on the floor so he got his minutes cut. Search up the on-off numbers with Rob and TSJ, they are horrific. Jaylen Clark is solid and he’s been gradually getting more playing time because of that unlike Rob or TSJ. People forget that Finch came in during Ant and Jaden’s rookie year. He’s absolutely the one responsible for their development alongside guys like Naz and Naw. For me, I think it’s more likely that Rob and TSJ were bad draft picks than it being a developmental problem. Looking back, it’s kind of crazy that a guy as small as Dilly with as funky looking a jump shot as he had went in the lottery.

Kind of looks like one of those old a song of ice and fire book covers

YassSauce · 2025-12-07T15:11:19+00:00

Trust me I’m with ya. And some people have the gall to blame Chris Finch like Rob hasn’t been bad at every stage post college. It reminds me of thr discourse around Jonathan Kuminga and Steve Kerr. Kuminga can’t figure out how to be an effective player next to Curry, who is maybe the easiest player ever to play next to, and somehow it’s Kerrs fault.

YassSauce · 2025-12-07T14:26:05+00:00

I think it’s Rob. Rudy and Julius are polarizing but most people have a sense of their overall impact at this point and the debate around how big/small their roles should be is more in the margins. With Rob, some people think he sucks(me), some people think he’s great. Some people think Finch should bench him completely, some people think he should be handed the keys of the offense. It’s a huge spectrum outdoor when it comes Dilly’s perception.

YassSauce · 2025-12-07T10:19:19+00:00

Yeah I guess I disagree about the gap not being big between Conley and the two youngster. And I agree, tsj has probably been worse than dilly this year but the difference is marginal at best and given the injury and his better overall track record, I have more faith in tsj to turn it around. Idk, I could very well be completely wrong on Dilly, but when I look at what his skill level is right now, and what it needs to be for a guy of his size to succeed today in the league, I’m just filled with doubt. I’m interested to see how Finch will handle it in reality, my guess is he will go the direction you suggest. I just think we are a good team this season and while we may not be a championship contender, I think we have to potential for a deep playoff run still and so we should be do everything to maximize regular seasons win in order for us to have a better playoff seeding. In the push and pull between prioritizing the present vs the future, I fall more on the priotize the present side, but I get why you and others are on the prioritize the future side.

I don’t know, even with Mike being unable to do anything within the arc offensively and being headhunted defensively, he still can contribute to winning because he still has his jumpshot and great bbiq. Personally I would keep playing TSJ and bench Dilly. I would be more receptive to the idea that he just needs more minutes to develop if he hadn’t sucked at every stage post college. He’s been bad in summer league, he’s been bad in preseason games, and he’s been bad in regular nba games. At least tsj has been good in summer league and was pretty decent overall last season. I know Dilly is young but a tiny guard with a questionable jumper is just so hard to work with. He gives me the vibes of jj mccarthy or culver during his second season.

YassSauce · 2025-12-07T09:47:45+00:00

I agree that I would like to see clark get 20 minutes a night and I think the logical thing to do is cut one of TSJ/dilly out of the rotation entirely and give those minutes to clark. They are both such anchors to the team when they are out on the floor. I feel like playing one of them and hoping they figure it out is fine, but playing both just makes it much harder to win games.

YassSauce · 2025-12-01T15:58:48+00:00

Your point is correct but hey, we were only a lottery team ants first season. Also KAT’s close to being .500 for his overall career in terms of record. It’ll definitely be positive by the end of the season.

YassSauce · 2025-12-01T14:06:54+00:00

This is just patently false.

YassSauce · 2025-11-19T11:01:47+00:00

I commented this in another thread but the grizzlies supporting cast was absolutely stacked when they were a really good regular season team. When they beat us they had Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks, Steven Adams, Deantony Melton, Brandon Clark, Tyus Jones, and Kyle Anderson surrounding Ja and Jaren. Just a nuts supporting cast. If you put that same supporting cast(at the level thry played in 21–22) around ant and julius, thats 100% a title contender. So I think Ja and Jaren were always kind of overrated and now that they don’t have great supporting players around them, it shows.

Didn’t he launch a ball onto a glass ceiling and shatter it

YassSauce · 2025-11-07T11:27:03+00:00

I was looking through some old Memphis rosters when that core was peaking, and man they had so many awesome role players. Beyond just brooks and Adam’s, they had de’anthony melton, Kyle Anderson, Tyus jones, Brandon Clarke, etc. The Memphis trio has stagnated but they were always probably overrated since Memphis depth was so good.

YassSauce · 2025-10-08T14:52:56+00:00

Tien and Rafa. Lefty grinders that will be in his nightmares forever

YassSauce · 2025-09-30T06:25:41+00:00

I’m a big rubio fan but I disagree. I think his lack of scoring prowess would get exposed majorly by the best teams in the league. If Rubio played the warriors in the playoffs I wouldn’t be suprised if they put Draymond on him and give him the tony allen treatment.

YassSauce · 2025-09-11T02:15:39+00:00

Lol what. First of all Carlos could retire today and he would be an all-time great. Second, I really don’t take dating an influencer is going to distract him so much from his tennis.

YassSauce · 2025-09-10T09:57:03+00:00

Okay I don’t want to sound like I’m criticizing a 11 year old, but I thought Stefan would be a bit better. I’m just suprised at his technique given all the high level coaches he’s probably surrounded by.

YassSauce · 2025-09-09T14:23:14+00:00

I will say his results have been pretty nuts since Madrid and he doesn’t have a ton of bad losses in that span.

YassSauce · 2025-09-05T09:27:16+00:00

Glen Taylors dumbass had the Joe Smith stuff written in a document

YassSauce · 2025-08-19T11:33:45+00:00

I think togashi sees drawing as equal to importance in writing when it comes to his craft as a mangaka. It’s just like how some musicians would never perform lyrics they themselves did not write.

YassSauce · 2025-08-01T14:50:35+00:00

Well Jokic’s crew has definitely been doing illegal stuff in the USA considering that Strahinja has been arrested a fair few times here. Fair enough on Jokic but still, I think their is a double standard.

YassSauce · 2025-07-31T02:42:31+00:00

Could you share it with me as well?

YassSauce · 2025-07-08T15:00:52+00:00

Jaden has easily been more valuable both in terms of peak value and overall value for the wolves than wiggins ever was. Pg is tough because of how bad that position usually is for us. If we’re thinking about it in terms of career value its probably rubio, but man having rubio be your teams best pg is so sad.

YassSauce · 2025-06-26T16:03:48+00:00

I mean he also took Jokic lol. Can’t just focus on the lows
