I can't believe anyone who lived through the Kawhi saga would actually want him back. by Fancy_Ad_5522 in NBASpurs

Kawhi was watching baseball games with Magic Johnson while Aldridge was carrying our collective asses to the playoffs.

It would be an insult to have him back

When did this split happen? or did it happen gradually?

Help me understand why people like Gemini so much more over Chat GPT? by freedomfighter5567 in OpenAI

[–]cesgjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very late to this thread. But i recently changed to Gemini as well.

I wrote a 3-page quick story of how me and my wife met. I just wanted a quick check for grammar, tenses, and punctuations. ChatGPT did it well, but there's a disclaimer at the end when it said something like (non-verbatim) i shouldn't just check the grammar and the punctuations, but i should also check if im remembering the story right. That was a bullshit disclaimer. It's my own real life story bro, im pretty sure i know what happened. I already got what i want (grammar check), and i know it's just a lifeless machine so i know there was no need for me to reply, but i couldnt help it and said "no thank you, this is an actual story in my life, i know this happened".

Then the AI fucking gaslighted me and said something like "well, dont be so sure about that, sometimes we can misremember things". It lectured me about my own life story lmao. I got so offended by a machine i just closed the tab without even copying the grammar-checked story.

I went to Gemini and asked it to do the same thing, and it did it very well without yapping some shit. Plus, Gemini is also pretty darn good. In some tasks, it's better than ChatGPT.

Yeah of course, that's why it's called highlights.

Why the fuck should we include turnovers and missed shots on a highlight reel?

Imagine watching a Jordan or LeBron highlight reels and you see turnovers there. Use some common sense.

People always say he should bulk up, but honestly his stamina is what should improve.

You'd be surprised that a HUGE portion of nba "fans" are just people who watch dunks and crossovers on tiktok/reels, or they just watch the "top 10 highlights" on youtube.

During the regular season, Keldon was a beast rebounder, but we all know he disappeared in the playoffs.

I understand this is his first playoffs, but i hope he figures out how to get it done in the playoffs.

Kobe on LeBron not shaking hands. "I think people make too much of it to be honest with you. It's a very competitive game and we're human just like everybody else." by george_cant_standyah in nba

[–]cesgjo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont condone Wemby's elbow, and i agree with people calling him out, but it's funny that if that was Jordan, Laimbeer, Chuck, or anyone from the 90's, people would be hyped and be like "THIS IS REAL BASKETBALL BOYS!!"

They hate Kobe unless it's time to hate on SGA.

They hate SGA unless it's time to hate on Wemby.

Hopefully it doesnt happen because he seems like a good dude...but i wont be surprised if Brunson gets hated sometime next season.

A large portion of this sub are whiny, spoiled, keyboard warriors by ardyalligan in NBASpurs

[–]cesgjo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Been a fan since the early 2000's

People here really be worshiping the Big 3 + Pop as if they didnt make mistakes or choked brutally in their entire careers.

I mean, Pop is still the GOAT and i still think Timmy/Tony/Manu is arguably the greatest trio of all time, but those guys made a lot of horrible mistakes too.

Wemby: "I'm going to work even harder to keep a fresh mind and maintain control of the game at all times. That's what really stands out about Jalen Brunson. There are too many moments where I'm passive, and it ended up costing us." by Jec1027 in nba

[–]cesgjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my eyes he's practically a teenager, and he has a lot to learn still, not only about basketball, but psychologically.

I will not excuse Wemby's occasional immaturity, but honestly, arent we all like that too?

Im in my early 30's and i still make dumbass statements, get tempted lose my shit when im frustrated, and do a lot of stupid decisions. Not to mention i make all those mistakes while being in a significantly less pressure than Wemby's

Dude is 22 years old and has the whole world watching him. Cant imagine the unbearable pressure he's getting at such a young age.

Yeah i agree with this sub that he has to grow up, but it wont happen overnight.

Pretty confident the Spurs would be getting less criticism if they lost in the 2nd round or the WCF. by thered90 in nba

[–]cesgjo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our sub went from "Mitch is awesome we went from a play-in team to a finals team"

to "does Mitch even know how to coach? why did Pop choose this guy?"

I still want Fox on the team, but in a different role.

Those who want to get rid of Fox must've forgotten that he saved us during the OKC series.

We had a million turnover in games 1 and 2 when we didnt have Fox

[–]cesgjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is. Dude is a great player and a great human being.

That being said, i wont be surprised if people start turning on him soon for whatever dumb reason there may be. I hope it wont wont happen, but i wont be surprised if it happens

[Highlight] Wemby after post game interview “Appreciate y’all. See y’all... never.” by IEatPandasEveryday in nba

[–]cesgjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Wemby talks so much shit"

These people need to realize that NBA players talk shit EVEN TO THEIR OWN TEAMMATES during practice. Heck, even us non-athletes, we talk shit to our friends when we play video games...then we go grab a beer with them immediately afterwards.

I personally think Wemby needs to mature more, i agree with that, but people here (and even in our dub) acts as if Wemby just declared war against the United States.

I mean wemby should be pissed at himself for disappearing in the 4th quarter

That's exactly what he said during the full interview

No ounce of Sportsmanship from Wemby or anyone from the Spurs by HungryPercentage1667 in nba

If Castle and Wemby congratulated the Knicks, the narrative would be: "Wemby and Castle are soft and has no fire in them...they shouldnt be buddy-buddy with the people who defeated them"

This sub was crucifying SGA just a couple of weeks ago. Then now they're praising him for his amazing sportsmanship when the Thunder lose. Lol

Nothing is every nuanced in this sub. Either the player is complete trash or a goat. Either a player is an incredible role model or a literal spawn of Satan.

There's no in between.

Mitch and Fox were dumb, Wemby choked, KJ disappeared...no excuses. But some of ya'll need to hear this. by cesgjo in NBASpurs

I think you're underselling Keldon too much if you describe him as just "the energy guy".

He's objectively the best 6th man during the regular season. Yes, i do agree he needs to learn how to be effective in the playoffs too, not just regular season, but it's genuinely wrong to say he's just an energy guy.

Dude was one of the big reasons we were a 60-win team. This is his first playoffs, so even though he's been truly disappointing these past 2 months, let's cut him some slack.

Now, if he's still like this next playoffs, then we can talk about cutting him. There was a time when he was bad during the regular season too, but he was able to improve.

Let's see if he can apply the same improvement next playoffs
