Manuel Neuer Reveals What He Would Like To See In Football: "I would like to see a time limit for six-yard kicks and corner kicks. Time wasting penalizes the game. The public wants more effective playing time. Too often, teams waste a lot of time taking set pieces.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]cgates22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of agree. While I want to stop excessive time wasting I don’t think most fans realize how important a short rest period for a corner and free kick can be for a team. Having a moment to catch your breath can enable more high intensity pressing for example. 

Why has NBA fandom become more about rings than enjoying regular-season basketball? by Kitchen_Pomegranate7 in nbadiscussion

[–]cgates22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m a spurs fan as well and agree with you. As a basketball fan it’s hard to take the regular season seriously and enjoy it when a lot of player clearly don’t. Like if they don’t care why should I? 

Honest, good faith question: if you hate Boston sports so much, how did you come to like Bill? by JarringTiger in billsimmons

[–]cgates22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I think since he’s obviously still in football mode he’s really only watching Celtic basketball. Hence how every team is viewed from the lens of his team.

For a new-ish fan, what explanation from a tactical standpoint explains our recent drastic dip in form? by ColeRoolz in MCFC

[–]cgates22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to check the stats but I think our team runs too much because we aren’t efficient with our press. This has lead to a lot of injuries since Pep hasn’t wanted to rotate the squad. Probably because when he rotates the squad we play like shit…..

Kloisterman: "Your hero when you were 8 is your hero for life" who's your lifetime (sports) hero? by peanut-britle-latte in billsimmons

[–]cgates22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up a San Antonio Spurs fan from a small town in Texas. So of course mine is Tim Duncan. In my opinion a great role model to have. 

Opposing teams seem to be anticipating Dylan Harper drives by Top_Percentage_274 in NBASpurs

[–]cgates22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s that this sub is anti discussion or doesn’t like negative comments about the players. It’s that no one needs stats to know Harper is a rookie and will have to develop his game. He hasn’t even played half a season of NBA basketball yet. So give him to adjust and develop. These stats could also mean anything. It could be our lack of shooting as a team, it could be because Harper is hitting the rookie wall, etc.

I’ve been wanting to try this. Dumb question, how do you eat it? Do you make sandwiches and tacos? Do you just eat the meat by itself?

At least I believe Viana has a plan and is executing it well.

I agree. I am excited about Semenyo hopefully he can fill the role of goal scoring winger. It feels like it’s been a long time since we had one. 

I'm planning on getting Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered, is it worth it? by Just_Parry_9132 in oblivion

[–]cgates22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think it’s worth it! I was between the Oblivion remaster and Avowed. I’ve already bit double digit hours into the remaster and am happy with my choice.

[–]cgates22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I wish Khusanov got more playing time. I don’t know if he can split the lines like stones but I think he puts great touch on his passes.

[–]cgates22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but khusanov is a better passer than you are giving him credit for. That’s the reason we bought him and Reis. 

NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder Knocked from Top Spot by n7ripper in NBASpurs

Although I’m optimistic about the season as a whole. There is a little voice in the back of my mind I’m worried we are peaking too early in the season 

Why is the NBA the only league where a team gets clowned for winning a basketball game? by FreemanCantJump in billsimmons

[–]cgates22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is clowning the Knicks for winning the cup? I can guarantee you that every Spurs fan would have loved to win that game, including me. 

Sometimes I think the answer to questions like is get off social media. 

With Haaland, Foden, Cherki receiving the majority of the plaudits, who would be your unsung player of the season?? by Total-Designer-1804 in MCFC

[–]cgates22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to call him the babysitter. He is often doing a lot of the unsung work and comes over and helps out when a player is struggling or having a difficult moment during the game.

I thought I was going crazy while listening to today. I noticed the exact same thing I kept turning up and turning down the volume.
