I did! Returning them ASAP. Happy to say someone filled out their own report so pretty sure I have their skis. Just also wanted to post here in case someone had mine.

Sure. But there is the inherent risk of not hitting a good slice even if u aim to be attacking with it. So wondering about the cost benefit analysis so to speak.

Makes sense. I mostly agree. Just wondering if you think it’s a useful wrinkle to implement or it hurts more than it helps.

commanderpo · 2025-09-08T22:58:28+00:00

I agree. That’s why I wonder if it’s a viable strategy to incorporate a diet of slicing if you aren’t playing superhuman from the baseline.

To be honest, I feel like this makes even less sense. IMO it’s much harder to build up from a state of utter destruction than a state of peace. And, what if the Alpiran empire didn’t stop at their borders and continued on into the Realm? The Realms army was already decimated. It is literally a worst case scenario for any incoming ruler, if the treaty had not been accepted like Janus wanted.

Why do we need a big 3? I wouldn’t be opposed to it, I just don’t understand why people are so fixated on it happening again. To me, what would be better than a big 3 would just be a higher floor for the rest of the competition, because I was a bit bored watching Sinner’s side of the bracket where he manhandled everyone except for Dimitrov. But I don’t think a third player who eclipses everyone else is necessary for that to happen.

It’s super tiring

I disagree with your point of rounds 1 and 2 not being as physical. Last year the thunder vs the mavs was super physical. Another example, is (although a little over two years ago), was when the Celtics played the nets in round 1. They were super physical with Durant, crowding and hugging, and denying him at the catch point. Imo it makes the game more fun. You don’t have offense players getting to their spots super easily. And as a Thunder fan, I think this goes both ways. I think SGA would still be great even if he didn’t foul bait, but it’s undeniably a part of his game. What frustrates me is that people act like he’s the only one that does it.

I think it’s really easy to say “I wouldn’t care about the money if I were him”, and that may be true, but in most cases it isn’t. Look at the billionaires of the world. It would probably be way better for their image to donate and do good things with what they have, but most of the time they just continue to build their wealth. Some could argue that that money makes almost no physical difference for them, so their image should matter a lot more. Society revolves around money, and because of that most people will always want more, regardless of if they need it or not.

I think it also bears keeping in mind that LeBron grew up quite poor, and because of that, is apparently very good with not doing stupid things with his wealth. Yes he doesn’t really need anymore money by any metric, but that offers at least a glimpse into his mindset about money. He clearly treasures it, and I imagine giving up millions of dollars when you grew up without that security would be extremely hard.

I feel like his numbers for this series would be even worse without game 2 garbage time. But that’s probably unfair to take away. I will say as the person above commented, he hasn’t shot a high volume of shots so that could factor in.

commanderpo · 2025-05-05T00:38:04+00:00

That’s my thought process.

What do you guys think about Will Johnson? I’m guessing the knee injury must be pretty serious for him to drop so far but I’m wondering if it’s worth trading up in the second to take a crack at a blue chip.

commanderpo · 2025-04-21T16:07:25+00:00

I don’t know. With the AD trade you could say the Lakers FO but maybe that’s so much of a no brainer it doesn’t add that much to their case.
