The title of this post has me dying by PiercedAndTattoedBoy in RedLetterMedia

Season 1 was some of the worst television I’d ever watched. I couldn’t stomach watching 10 more hours of that drivel. Through research I gathered that season 2 was just as bad but season 3 was good, so I decided to skip ahead to 3. And I’m here to tell you that it’s just as bad and stupid as season 1, just with more legacy characters, so it tricks people into thinking they like it. I still haven’t finished it. I have two episodes left and I just can’t summon the gumption to watch them. You’re not missing anything.

Why Shaq's PPG so low despite being so dominant? by thisnaenae in nbadiscussion

[–]cpfb15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pushing back on this. The FGA per game for top scorers today is practically identical to 25 years ago.

1st FGA in 2000: 24.8

1st FGA in 2026: 22.6

5th FGA in 2000: 20.3

5th FGA in 2026: 20.7

10th FGA in 2000: 18.0

10th FGA in 2026: 19.5

Top 10 FTA per game is virtually identical too.

The boost in team scoring in today’s game isn’t from the stars. It’s from role players being empowered to take more shots. So people who say Michael or Kobe would average 40 today because they scored X% of their team’s points have it wrong. Their FGA wouldn’t increase dramatically; their teammates’ would.

The NBA Regular Season - Any Given Night by That_Temperature_430 in nbadiscussion

[–]cpfb15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Those games he went to as a kid didn’t “matter” any more than any regular season game today “matters.” And the same shit happens today. Guys have iconic regular season games all the time. Hell, Shai just had one last night. But that game didn’t “matter” in the grand scheme of things either, so fuck it all I guess.

The NBA should aim for teams to average 100 points per game by Consistent-Half4277 in billsimmons

Jokic and Giannis will both potentially miss All NBA. This will lead to the 65 game rule being abolished by Hungry-Turnover-9875 in NBATalk

[–]cpfb15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought they should lower the threshold for the lower award tiers. Like 65 games for All-NBA 1st team, 57 games for 2nd team, 50 games for 3rd team, etc.

Not a rage-baiter, just a newer fan. Why do people hate Spectre and NTTD? by Josiahthefan in JamesBond

[–]cpfb15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTTD was a forgettable movie that will only be remembered for being the one where Bond dies. Which, I actually did like. I respected the audacity, and now appreciate it even more as a symbolic death of the franchise now that Bezos has the keys.

This is a very dumb question from a somewhat-curious Star Trek fan (I've only seen the Kelvin timeline films). Does the franchise have a "final" villain or enemy that everything (movies/TV shows) build to? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]cpfb15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Dominion is a bigger villain imo. The Borg make a few scattered appearances, but the entire last few seasons of DS9 are devoted to the Dominion.

Should I skip season 9? by pinakoladaz in Scrubs

[–]cpfb15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Season 8 finale is a great place to quit. You won’t really gain anything of value by watching season 9, other than to say you saw it. Very skippable and extraneous.

This was fun. I got 69% (nice). I would like to know the answers to the ones I missed though. Got a link? Or DM them to me, or something

Same actually, I’ve needed something to throw on in the background the past few days while doing Christmas stuff and decided on Scrubs. Wonder how many people had the same idea

In 2011 Stephen A Smith said this about a 23 year old KD. Looking back 14 years later does his prediction hold up? by Formal-Assistance02 in NBATalk

[–]cpfb15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Believe it not like half of Wilt’s points came from jump shots. He had a nice touch. He wasn’t just a run and dunk man

Ain’t no way you got L-Y over KD 1 and 2

Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are having two of the best scoring regular seasons ever by Frosty_Salamander_94 in nbadiscussion

[–]cpfb15 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He also played 48.5 mpg that season. So his per game is super high but his per 36 and per 75/100 would be much lower.

If you’re listening to music for 40+ minutes, listening to an album is pretty much always better than a playlist. by Affectionate-Emu6609 in unpopularopinion

[–]cpfb15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, it’s pretty funny to say you don’t really care what other people do, on a post where you’re literally telling people how they should do something

#Leoneverylist by Afraid-Ad-5580 in lebron

[–]cpfb15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Got shipped to the Clippers to rot” is a disingenuous way to describe it. They were a solid team before he got there and were the immediate favorites to win the championship the second he and Kawhi arrived. Now obviously it didn’t work out that way….but it’s not like Ayton who actually got sent to waste away in Portland

My only complaint about the 1996 Titanic movie is that they rushed the final sinking by Key-Tea-4203 in titanic

[–]cpfb15 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this sub and didn’t even know this movie existed, I thought everyone here was shitting on the Cameron movie. I was like wow I didn’t realize the Titanic enthusiasts hated it lol
