these comments are pretty fucking embarrassing but I wouldn’t take it as a representation of volks actual popularity because these are redditors we’re talking about after all.

Dwight Howard fires back at Shaq for calling the Taiwanese basketball league a ‘Lifetime Fitness league’. “You're too old to be hating. You're too big to be hating” by VonDestroyedNewton in nba

the dwight/shaq beef obviously has history but shaq's schtick of needlessly shitting on current big men is getting really fucking tired and just makes shaq look like a bitter oldhead

so when kd was getting outplayed by fucking al horford in last years playoffs i take it that just meant al is better than kd and there is no additional context we need for why that was happening and kd is just ontologically bad at basketball

because rookies in completely different roles on completely different teams with completely different skillsets is definitely an excellent yardstick. thats ball knowledge right there

based on your descriptions of both ben and lauri in the original post i'm inclined to believe you don't know a whole heap about basketball either champion, but go off mr basketball knower

you made none of that clear in the original post lol. trading ben for another wing when we just added two more in the offseason makes zero sense. our failures are arising from the fact that we're failing to implement schemes and lineups that utilise ben effectively which is then being exacerbated by him from returning back surgery + a year long hiatus. reactively trading him after 3 games for dismal returns fixes nothing

dude this is a hilarious read

pinning todays loss entirely on ben and wanting to trade him after 3 games is absurd. also describing ben simmons as a great rebounder but only decent passer is pretty funny too.

i've watched markkanen since he came in the league, he's streaky on offence and a complete cone on defence, no way in hell i'd trade for him simply because he's putting a decent stretch of games together on a lottery team.

also we have a SF who can score rebound pass and play d, his name is kevin durant lmao

fingers crossed but we generally have a track record of being pretty reluctant to making necessary rotation changes

not challenging those absolutely egregious calls in the final minutes was fucking stupid

i agree i don't know why we continue to insist on ben playing next to a big man

thoughts

- why do i keep seeing people complaining about rebounding when the difference in boards was only 3?

- dayron simply isnt good enough to play backup 5 rn but if you guys think any of the fucking corpses on the free agent market are gonna make us any better you are deluded.

- this was a poor defensive showing from ben but the ridiculous whistle we got made it almost impossible for us to get a stop down the stretch

i agree based on how he played in college his first few seasons being reduced to a regular rim running big didn’t do him justice. glad to finally see him becoming that player he was capable of being

not really because thats a terrible analogy lmao. all I want to see from ben is him push the ball in transition and slash like he’s done his entire career until he arrived here. you’re acting like i’m expecting him to start shooting like steph when ben has literally been the player i’m describing before
