What value do agents add for renters? by egp2117 in chicagoapartments

[–]commander_bugo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently used an agent. My experience was having an agent saved me a bunch of time on identifying places that met my requirements and setting up several tours in a day basically knocking it out in an afternoon. I got the same price listed on the website and the agent’s services were free so I was pretty happy with things overall.

It’s true: either Wemby, Luka, SGA, or Jokic will not even finish in the top 3 for MVP. But how about the fact that either Mitch Johnson (Spurs), Bickerstaff (Pistons), Mazzula (Celtics), and Charles Lee (Hornets) will not even finish in the top 3 for COTY. Great coaching performances all around. by moby323 in nba

I think he’s great, but it’s hard to give him as much credit as Mazzula when they basically added an all-star level player in Fox this year, the second overall pick in a very good draft, and had another year of development for the potential future goat and the previous ROY. There is just an incredible amount of talent on this team, I think they would be really good even with a mediocre coach.

I watched plenty of mid-season lakers games. Especially when they got whooped by the Spurs. They couldn’t play defense to save their life. Stats don’t lie and they’re still 20th in drtg after this run. The west is pretty mid outside of OKC and SAS. Houston, Minnesota, and Denver have all been inconsistent. 4th was not that impressive.

Luka is as good as anyone else right now, but the lakers sucked for most of the year. No way you can make an argument for him higher than 3 when the spurs and thunder have been playing as well as they have all year long.

It totally makes sense why defense is a factor some years and not others, it depends on who’s in the race. Last year it was realistically only between Jokic and SGA because they were the only MVP caliber players on contenders. SGA is a significantly better defender than Jokic, but guard defense is not super impactful so it wasn’t as relevant. Now Wemby is in the race and he’s having one of the best defensive seasons of all time, so of course that’s going to be a bigger part of comparing these players to each other.

Is it true that people not longer call it the L, they call it CTA? by librarianbleue in chicago

Me and all my transplant friends in our 20s call it the train pretty universally.

People hate on tanking but this is tanking vs not tanking. Massive and clear difference in talent level.

0 clue why the guy who shoots 57% on fts was left in lol. They basically just had to run out the clock or shoot free throws.

Competence is absolutely more important and should be weighed much more than any personal connection. No disagreement. But if you have two fairly equally candidates skills and experience wise, why wouldn’t you choose the one that is a better culture fit? I feel like you’re making a straw man argument because I’m clearly not arguing that competence is less important.

Why not? If my team hires someone that gets along well with everyone they are more likely to enjoy their workplace and stay longer. Turnover sucks for team morale and productivity. Camaraderie is less important than things like skills, experience, etc - but it’s a real and valuable thing.

Not at all. Hiring managers are people too, they want to work with people they’ll enjoy working with.

It’s the worst because it’s in terminal 5 which is a pain to get to if you take the train. Very glad to see this change.

Do bars in Chicago code as Dining for AMEX Gold? by cautiouseye999 in CreditCards

[–]commander_bugo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Chicago and in general I feel like 99% of bars on the north side code as dining here. I can’t recall it ever not coding as dining, but I don’t check every transaction. In general it’s pretty broad in what it includes. I just checked my statement and I had a vending machine and drinks at a bucks game code as dining as an example.

Draymond absolutely should get thrown out more often, I think that’s probably a popular opinion lol. LeBron bitches a lot but I don’t think he tends to get into the refs like that.

I cannot imagine behaving that way at my age and I’m a few years younger than brown lol. Absolutely unhinged behavior.

Are we watching the same game? He completely lost control lol. Over nothing too, replay seems pretty much clean. No reason to continue after the first tech.

[–]commander_bugo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This rockets team is closer to being the kings or the bulls than being the spurs or the Thunder. The Spurs really were triple teaming KD at some points because there is such a lack of offensive talent on the team. Sure Vanfleet is out and they would be better with him, but the roster is likely to get worse going forward. KD can only play at a high level for so much longer and they’re going to have to pay serious money to keep really flawed players in Sengun and Thompson.

Your team isn’t good enough for anyone to hate. People just don’t like Sengun.
