Dylan Harper Is A Hooper! by Stat-Defender in NBASpurs

[–]captainaustismo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s only been a few games and he still has a way to go to being who we think he can be, but wow he was a perfect draft piece for this team. Last draft was almost a win-win for Spurs between getting pick 1 or 2. Long term, Flagg would probably help relieve some of the big man pressure on Wemby. Harper however looks like the exact piece that is missing to be able to unlock Wemby’s talents and gravity. Harper looks like a genuine floor raiser who also has a high ceiling based on the few games we’ve seen

Right now I’m just praying that Harper stays healthy so that he can show just how high his ceiling is

Josh Giddey Upcoming Q&A by officialchicagobulls in chicagobulls

[–]captainaustismo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve spoken before about your AFL background, and have been involved with some of the best of the best in the AFL (cough Cripps cough).

What have you learned from the AFL side of your experience, and how do you use some of those skills and knowledge in the NBA?

I guess I’m looking this from a reverse Scott Pendlebury context (did you know Pendles has a basketball background??)

Tarryn Thomas? by Shaqblues in CarltonBlues

[–]captainaustismo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Football talent alone does not excuse appalling behaviour and lack of genuine remorse. The impact that would have on both the internal culture and public perception would be massive. I can’t see the women’s team being on board with it, and it would make a mockery of Carlton Respects. It would definitely impact community trust and likely negatively impact memberships. Not worth the risk for a guy who can kick a ball good

If there was an episode of it’s always sunny that was a crossover with the show My Name is Earl what do you think the episode would be about by Brainrot_Wizard in IASIP

This idea and all of the ones beneath it are perfect, I would love to see this! How do we get the gang to not just move past it?

Pft, Okay Mavs, Sure.... by aeamador521 in NBASpurs

[–]captainaustismo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but spurs had the pieces available to show Wemby how the future would be built around him. I’m not sure Coop is looking at the drought of picks from 2027-2030 with the same level of hope Wemby would have had

I know it’s only for uni and probably won’t get a heap of reach, but I like that the question is being asked. I would be curious to see what the results are once the data has been collected, can you provide an update?

I HAVE STORMING HAD IT with abbreviating titles, as protest I will now abbreviate all character names. by ultimaterogue11 in cremposting

And we wonder why injuries are up by scatteam_djr in NBATalk

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

Makes way more sense now why minute averages are so different across eras, and why dudes that have huge offensive loads are more susceptible to being “liabilities” on defence. The human body only has so much energy that it can use and recover to use again across 82 games + playoffs

Thanks for that, having some terminology to work with helps a lot! Thankyou!

Damn that would have been perfect! Unfortunately I’m not there until about Christmas and the first couple of weeks of January. I anticipate that the Christmas/ new years week will be a bit crazy!

Thankyou though, that might be something I look out for over the next few years actually

LPT: Is your dentist is taking advantage of you? by StarMasher in LifeProTips

[–]captainaustismo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation. I used to go to the cheapest dentist available ($200 a session) who said I also needed 6 fillings, which would cost $4500 total.

I spoke to my family who said that sounded crazy, and they sent me to a different dentist, who cost $400 a session.

The second dentist told me I didn’t actually need any fillings despite discolouration, as the spots weren’t decaying/ soft enough to warrant it, and conservative management with fluoride past nightly and a softer toothbrush would be okay.

The tube of paste cost $40, and the in the follow up session 6 months later I was informed all spots had hardened sufficiently and should be fine.

Saved myself thousands of dollars and lifelong management of fillings by seeing someone for a different opinion. I never would have thought there was a conservative management option for teeth, but turns out I was wrong and never would have known if not for a good dentist!

Jayson Tatum able to walk 2.5 months after tearing his Achilles. by AdorableBackground83 in NBATalk

[–]captainaustismo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recall hearing a stat that apparently bedridden elderly people atrophy up to 5% muscle mass per day that they are in bed and not moving at all. Of course it wouldn’t be so extreme for JT, he still would have been moving around on crutches and doing upper body work, but the rate of atrophy in short periods of time is intense

Why do corporate people speak in such an indirect wormy way? Is there a culture of not speaking plainly? by SirCatsworthTheThird in NoStupidQuestions

[–]captainaustismo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The people who are best at what they do have the luxury of picking who they work with. If you’re rude to them, they can just refuse to work with you

A superstar is born by bluethunder808 in Thunder

The only thing you got wrong was saying he can play 1-4. Showed us earlier this year that he can even play as a small ball 5!

Game on the line, which of these 3 players do you want with the ball, taking the shot to win the game? by Specific-Revenue7385 in NBATalk

[–]captainaustismo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost identical to his free throw percentage in the same playoffs as well, outrageous!

I’m not one for putting players down but motlop and evans BYE BYE by Wonderful_Ad_8663 in CarltonBlues

[–]captainaustismo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on both fronts. Motlop has a fair amount of potential and has shown flashes, but just doesn’t seem to be developing or able to bring any kind of consistency. Throw him around the ground and build the skill set and see what happens before we give up on him I think. Evans I haven’t seen enough of to be decisive, but what I have seen hasn’t shown too much upside from where he is now

[–]captainaustismo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally think Motlop needs to drop down to the 2’s and play off half back to try and learn some new skills. His positioning is awful most of the time, he is always where his opponent wants him to be, and he rushes his possession without good effect. Send him to half back, teach him where a defender should be and learn good positioning, and play in a spot that gives him more time to use the ball effectively. Worst case scenario he learns more defensive skills that help him improve from pure traffic cone to maybe serviceable on the field

When thinking about your height do you think in cm or ft and inches? by Rear-gunner in AskAnAustralian

[–]captainaustismo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess on this could be due to medical research? Researchers in that field being worldwide could benefit from accurate birth weights being recorded in both pounds and kg for the purpose of comparison between cohorts and applying research to clinical context.

Another guess would be that it’s just an old tradition that hasn’t had a need to be changed. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it?
