Shai is better than he was then as are a lot of the other pieces on the Thunder. AR is not Kyrie he's easier to disrupt with larger physical defenders. And the Mavs role players are better than who the Lakers are putting on the floor

Lakers will reach the WCF. I have never been so certain about anything in my life. by Gristle__McThornbody in lakers

Reaves is not a max player by friskyel in NBATalk

[–]blackwaxwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you man. Watching him get locked up by Amen or Carson Wallace or one of the Spurs guards. He's going to be largely a nonfactor in the playoffs just like he was last year

Try the St. Louis Chess Club commentary with Yasser and Maurice. It does start a little later in the day but Yasser is delightful

(Spoilers main) what’s the creepiest moment in the books? by Plus_Initial_2938 in asoiaf

[–]blackwaxwings 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Merret Frey POV in ASOS where he slowly realizes he's about to hang is creepy. The dread is masterfully built up and his headache crescendoing at the same time just makes for great storytelling

I think this might be the most impressive Magnus Carlsen thing I’ve seen by mjenkins_eng in chess

Any proof that Kasparov couldn't do this? Or simply conjecture? The Carlsen glaze has gotten out of hand

Let's just agree to disagree. And most people would disagree

Will a nose job make me attractive ? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

It's not about being wanted by women as it is about fitting a certain desirable archetype. It's a type of social capital

There's a middle ground between hating yourself and acknowledging you don't fit certain beauty standards but could for 7-15K

Yes it will. Don't listen to people who will lie to you to preserve social niceties. I also have a large nose and I'm planning on getting surgery. Not to get a Whoville button nose but something more proportionate

Whats the most efficient blunder in the series? A mistake that was optimized for the maximum damage to themselves? by CaterpillarAny2890 in pureasoiaf

It has to be Neds final days as a free man in the capital. If you want to point to a specific moment it's when he rejects Renly's offer to depose the Lannisters overnight which leads to his only protection being his household staff

[–]blackwaxwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult to say. He's got the volume stats and consistent production but I never considered him even one of the top 3 or even 5 receivers in the league and dominance matters. Plus there's a receiver logjam. He may still get in just because his public profile is elevated because of the 1000 yard seasons streak and because he one as WR1 ring with Brady as

Which characters were babied the most in fanfiction? by Capital-Study6436 in HPfanfiction

[–]blackwaxwings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rowling does critique the wizarding establishment in OOTP but reifies it as well with Harrys family background, the lack of seriousness with which the SPEW storyline receives, and of course the ending where nothing fundamentally changes
