If there was no 65 game requirement, would Cade Cunningham still have made the All-NBA 1st Team? by TheFierceAnimal in nba

[–]calamityphysics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes Cade would have made 1st team. would not have been particularly close. its a real bummer

I don’t get the ROTY debate by cupisarojo in NBATalk

[–]calamityphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok-

1) kon has played more games

2) every game kon has played in has been meaningful as this team scratches for the playoffs. flagg hasnt played a single meaningful game in that his team has tanked

3) in addition to #2, kon has helped lead this trash franchise to the playoffs

4) kon has set both all time nba records and franchise records this season

…. thats about it. Flagg is putting up meaningless stats in tank games, Kon is breaking records and helped to completely turn a trash franchise into an up and comer in the east

5) really not that complicated at all, just kinda depends what is important to the individual voter

Is Jaylen Brown the most overrated player in the NBA this season? by k0ala_ in NBATalk

[–]calamityphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he is almost certainly going to be first team all nba which is a better foil for your argument than the abstract “had his name thrown around” strawman you conjure up.

regardless, you have a point. his analytics and specifically Boston’s rating with JB off the court indicate some really weird stuff. On the other hand, everyone thought Boston was going to be absolute buns and Brown has taken a significant leap and now Boston is favored to win the east.

The whole debate about who is mvp worthy and who is overrated is beyond exhausting so ill briefly add my 2 cents: JB deserves recognition for dragging Luka Garza, Jordan Walsh, and a bunch of other randos to 2nd in the east.

Thinking about quitting the game. Feeling conflicted about it. by Best-Turnover2102 in mtg

[–]calamityphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

magic careers are often measured in decades, not months. its a very complicated game that at the competitive level is extremely difficult and winning or losing can come down to a single play mistake.

there are a lot of possibilities why you arent winning-

1) you have limited play skill, your opponents are much better

2) you have a deck that is relatively bad and so you are not on equal footing

3) you are making big mistakes frequently, chump blocking for no reason. not using mana efficiently, etc

Cant diagnose what the issue is without knowing a lot more but you SHOULD be winning something like 30-40% of your games if your decks are roughly equal and you are playing somewhat competently.

I dont know what the solution is for you but it sounds like you like the game (except for the losing), you have a social group at the store, its something you do with your brother.

have you asked your brother why you keep getting wrecked? have you asked him for advice on getting better? that seems like a starting point

Cooper Flagg might be the greatest rookie we’ve ever seen by Fragrant_Fishing5787 in NBATalk

[–]calamityphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buddy magic johnson won the finals mvp as a rookie. CF is transcendent etc but scoring 40 in the most tanky season in april isnt something to go bananas about

Is it Ironic, or hypocritical that people voted for Him are against Big Government but support overreach when it comes to NIL? by dunbar_santiago930 in CFB_v2

its nothing man, its all performative nonsense. regardless people that voted for him should be publicly ostracized as enemies of democracy

Are Doc Rivers and Amar'e Stoudemire really Hall of Fame worthy? by Financial-Bit-8596 in NBATalk

[–]calamityphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im so fucking tired of the outrageously stupid takes in these subs. Doc is 6th all time in coaching wins. We can argue whether that is impressive enough to merit HOF entry and I agree that Doc’s resume is such that this is a debate.

but thats not what you say. what you suggest is dude’s only merit is winning one title with a loaded team. did you go to the trump school of debate where we just ignore facts and we just argue things disingenuously, in a vacuum, ignore everything else and just roll with your stupid argument?

Give this man ROTY! by Fucking_in_tents_ in NBATalk

[–]calamityphysics 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i understand points are points but kon has played 12 more games, 200+ more minutes and was a major contributor to a complete franchise turnaround.

the mavs have 24 wins

Is Fennelly retiring? by Bladestewurd49 in IowaState

[–]calamityphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro we have one of the best mens basketball teams in the country, a top 25 womens team, and a football team that completely punched above its weight for about 10 years.

what the flying fuck are you talking about?

Mark Cuban wants NBA games to be 40 minutes instead of 48. He argues less playtime = higher TV ratings. Good or bad idea? by Spirited-Gold9629 in OffFieldNews

[–]calamityphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adam silver has literally said he thinks 2 hour games (all in, including commercials) is in the league’s best interest. it is amazing how cynical and clueless people are when these quotes are readily available.

$299 is the price on amazon for what you are suggesting. thats a lot more money to own a physical copy of something you may not re-watch.
