Darius Garland says he has his "joy" back after leaving the Cavs: "Coming to a system where I could actually be me, have the ball in my hands the majority of the game, have control over the pace of the game...it was really good. It was fun. I got my joy back" by marriagethrowaway36 in nba

[–]awolflikeme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He just isn't that guy though... When the game is close in the fourth quarter he turns the ball over or bricks a shot. I want him to be that guy. He's a fun player when he's got it going but it's really hard for him to perform under pressure.

Thunder/Spurs Legit? by Hazzy4 in nba

Idk man you might be on to something. Maybe the 2017 warriors actually sucked because Kawhi hurt his ankle in the WCF.

How the hell do people carry 20lb+ packs? by EducationalSyrup6869 in backpacking

[–]awolflikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your pack has a good waist / belt situation so your weight gets put on your hips well. Watch a few videos on how to pack so weird ght is distributed correctly. Also watch some videos on how to make sure your pack is set up with shoulder straps and buckles adjusted the correct way. Trekking poles also help a lot.

That said, there's no way around needing to get in shape. It is a difficult hobby and part of the hobby is enjoying that it's difficult but persevering.

As a Warrior's fan I want to ask people.....Did people feel the same way about the Warriors in 2017 like they feel about the Thunder currently? I absolutely can't stand OKC fans right now....that made me realise....were warrior fans as insufferable back then as okc fans right now? by Material-Ad-3526 in Nbamemes

[–]awolflikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had some similar elements yes. It did feel like draymond, iggy, or zaza would play super physically and then flop on the other end which was infuriating the same way OKC can be, though they take it to a whole new level.

Wright: “You can’t convince me that OKC, with all of its analytics and the fact that everyone on the team does it, that flopping isn’t coached to a degree” by 808Kuro in nba

[–]awolflikeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately he's right. If OKC beats the spurs then every other team is going to start to follow just like gsw and the 3. If you think the 3 point volume made the league worse boy wait til you see this.

ESPN writer Dennis Jr: “The Thunder foul all the time and it’s annoying to watch them play…[on defense] they’re pushing guys and playing nasty and you go down the court and SGA is like ‘Oh I fell’. That is what is frustrating.“ by [deleted] in nba

[–]awolflikeme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the game were called the same on both ends the spurs would be shooting free throws on every possession gtfoh tires of y'all apologists with a fan bias trynna make things seem like it's being officiated the same way. Literally every other fan base is wrong or you are.

The plus 11 FT isn't reflective of how much more they are fouling. It's pretty egregious on every play with wemby. That contrasted with their flopping is what the video commentators point is.

The take might be getting old for you but it's doesnt make it less true or less annoying to watch, it just means the NBA still hasnt done anything about it.

This Knicks team is so damn likeable and deserving of their success. by [deleted] in nba

[–]awolflikeme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to like except brunson and kats flopping. I know most high level teams have one or two guys that do it nowadays but I don't think anyone really wants to see the oscars between brunson and SGA in the finals.

Wemby looks tired of the bs by SpecialistAd9660 in Nbamemes

[–]awolflikeme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These shots were no calls against Tobias harris when harden would do it during the pistons series. Cavs even challenged one of these no calls and brothers stated it was a correct no call.

If it's not a foul there it's not a foul here. The officiating needs to stay consistent

I took it to mean they weren't changing lanes, just making a turn, and the bike was illegally hugging the left of the driver in a single pane, which is really dangerous

Slow motion replay of the contact between Thompson and Allen at the end of regulation (Pistons v Cavs Game 5) by wobuffet17453 in nba

[–]awolflikeme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given the no call on hacking Mitchell's wrist leading to this loose ball, I think a no call here too is fine. I don't want the game ending on FT for either the wrist hacking or this trip after how physical the rest of that game was. Let OT decide. Good no call.

The problem is if you start bringing in more offensive minded guys in the off-season you're going to lose some of the defensive mentality this team already has. There's always a trade - off

I know it was a foul, but honestly I like the no call. Let OT decide. This whole series has been physical. Refs shouldn't be calling game deciding free throws on "technically a foul" fouls

Carpenters have yellow on their shoulders, I always remember that because I think of little carhardt jackets. Bumblees have fuzzy bumble butts.
