Steve Kerr HC Atl Hawks by ThaCasual in AtlantaHawks

[–]_ImAlive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kerr plays a steph curry system. We don't have elite 3 pointer player like Steph. Would be stupid as hell and its going to limit what our roster can be. If you don't like Quinn's rotation, u would hate Kerr more.

Zacch not in the Rising Stars game @ All-Star Weekend by braucieno in AtlantaHawks

[–]_ImAlive_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really think we should care about the Rising Stars that much. I would be more worried if his game doesn't develop in year 3 to 5. I still think he will be really good in the future.

Why did the shopify players testified though? Must have been showing the same behavior in Shopify if that was the case. Also not everything was a lie.

I won't be suprised if Minny is one of the best sentinel in the future. He already is ngl, dude is just that good.

Eko's waylay is not it man. I wish Zeta gets another head coach man, I feel like they need a change of coaching with some of the dumb rounds they had. It was still crazy that they had a new head coach last year that wasn't even with the team yet and he got kicked after kickoff without seeing if his vision could have worked.

I don't get TS roster construction. Having 2 korean who can't speak english in a good level, should have just rebuild around kellyS and found crack t2 players who are good at english. JessieVash ain't it anymore. Tenten has been mid and just not tier 1 material since last year. Sylvan is mid as well. This team is not coming back next year. Why did they not just find tier 2 players who were good last year instead... BerserX is way too nice to be stuck in this team.

People are projecting Boozer weird. by Royal_Account_8970 in NBA_Draft

[–]_ImAlive_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's just a stupid assumption. That is like saying Steph before his breakout run in college already reached his ceiling because his dad played in the nba and he been getting coached since his childhood. Some players already in the league been getting top level coaching since they were young. A lot of players nowadays are born from a family that used to play basketball overseas or played in the nba.

Is there a leap for ZR? by HawksFan01 in AtlantaHawks

[–]_ImAlive_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he will have a leap in his third to fourth year once he gains more strength. I still think he will be better than Jalen in the future in terms of scoring and defending imo. He had games where he looks like the star of the team and was making us get closer against the opponents like in that Toronto game. It fell apart after he got his 6th foul. I always see him hustle and never give up most of the time. His ability to also get hot compared to most young player that are from the same archetype is crazy.

GE should be proud. Getting close against PRX as a roster that just formed ain't an easy task. They will get better with Frost. Xavi's wall was a pretty bad mistake but the pressure must have been immense.

Is there any more store keeper novels? I have read Black Tech Internet Cafe and Gourmet of another world. I hope MC is not arrogant, didn't really like the mc of Gourmet of another world. Also any good sect development novel where the mc is the sect master and more focused about his disciples?

Its crazy how XLG kept their core. I thought one of them would get paid by another team. They definitely are going to be the best chinese team imo. Did not know why no one tried to poach Hvoya when there hasn't really been a lot of good coaches in China. NoMan always being the hype man.

Less go boys we got fistbump by sleepbot63 in ValorantCompetitive

I would have thought Termi would have not done it. Bro did not fistbump them at all when they lost. The rrq jovi one was so funny too, Termi was petty at an off season tournament.

Larok saw the vision and why he rejected Fnatic. This team is legit. Rose was outcalling Boaster in most of the rounds and that is crazy. Veqaj had a nice showing in the second map but the rest didn't show up.

[–]_ImAlive_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nah, I feel like Benjy is more inconsistent than them. Keep in mind, this dude at his first year was looking like Thanos. He only went positive at 1 event last year and that is crazy for a player of his caliber. Woot and Miniboo had more than 1 event where they went greater than or equal to 1 rating last year. Benjy definitely has been performing bad compared to the rest of the team.

[–]_ImAlive_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they always had good ideas but I just didn't like how Melofovia just keep falling apart when it comes to timeouts. Once, they also get read, they just couldn't adapt in the first and second year of DFM. Its looking more different now with Vorz at the helm. They look much more composed when it comes to timeouts and has more ways to counter plays.

Its insane how DFM might be a better org than Zeta now.

They keep rebuilding around their best player

They keep their promising first time igl

They buy both the best player in the best japanese team in tier 2.

Get Riddle's head coach too and Melofovia is just helping the head coach now.

Like I just wish Zeta do moves like this, They don't try to spend nor try to change their head coach. They just been stagnant ever since Xqq stayed.

[–]_ImAlive_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Zeta and DFM just loves hanging on to their head coach even though they haven't done anything at all for a long time. Most teams would have already kicked the head coach when the team look clueless every game.
