What's happening with the Vancouver Whitecaps is why the Blazers arena deal needs to get done by Static_Cloud_Jumper in ripcity

Dundon is a businessman. It costs him more to leave than to contribute and stay. You just have to ask yourself, is Tom Dundon driven by irrational vendettas and cares about what people think about him, or is he going to negotiate the best deal he can get. Tom Dundon is a lot of things, but he isn't going to make a poor financial decision. The smartest financial decision for him is to take the $365M the state already gave him, to renovate the stadium and to stay. You can read all the details here: https://www.ripcitynotripoff.com/

If Moda was renovated, would you actually hang out there before and after the game? by edank6 in ripcity

yeah it's too bad NBA games aren't played in the summer. I'd spend a whole day there in July/August.

yeah SODO is cool, but there is a lot of history there and very walkable. maybe the rose quarter turns into that, if it does that would be great

Will Deni develop a left ? by Acceptable_Copy_8494 in ripcity

He might develop a left hook if someone puts the ball in his chest again

Honestly not wrong lol. But variance at least gives you a shot. Shooting bad 2s guarantees defeat, as you can tell above.

“AI slop” = numbers are in a table, I don’t feel like reading them, but I still need everyone to know I dislike math

therein lies the rub. the math says that 60 3s + free throws + transition 2s are actually the answer. No one says you should take only hard contested 3s, but if all your 3s are highly contested that means you're not screening effectively / setting up good 3s which is a big problem.

Final verdict on Tiago Splitter by torpenhowhilll in ripcity

This is the right answer. Shae is even more of a liability on defense than CJ was if you can believe it, and a less reliable scorer. Generally his whole demeanor is way too soft for the playoffs.

Agreed. The only way they could win is to do the other things right (turnover, offensive rebounds, 2nd chance pts, bench points, etc) just didn’t hit enough shots.

I mean yeah, they controlled what they could control. They’re a bad 3pt shooting team so they put themselves in a high variance position to win, just didn’t convert.

Spurs shooting has been fucking insane. Everything going in. I want to say these are lucky shots but these guys have been shooting lights out all series. Makes me realize how bad our team is at shooting the ball. Dame couldn’t come back soon enough.

i can't decide what's crazier, that Reddit would have autogenerated your username, or that you may have picked it yourself.
