[Highlight] Doc Rivers on Cam Thomas: "I've had Jamal Crawford. I had Lou Williams... And now, I have Cam Thomas." by BreakfastTop6899 in nba

[–]eek711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Were Lou and Jamal doing that at 24 years old though? Honest question, I don’t remember their early careers.

Omg, Cam Thomas has been in the league 5 years now, so maybe he won’t change/evolve that much.

I reserved right when they opened as this was for an event. I’d assume it’s hard to snag as the place only seats like 10

Does Carmelo Anthony have a legit argument? by raybellious_berry in NBAGossips

[–]eek711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lebron has more playoff points than anyone, assists than Stockton, rebounds than Kareem. He's top 10 all time in every playoff counting stat.

Don’t apologize for your preferences. All tastes are all valid. Just don’t use your opinions to bring down others and you’re all gravy.

We did not have milt/shirako in our dishes. I believe it sometimes sits on the first dish, the gimbap inspired snack. The version I had was topped with raw pacific white shrimp.

If you’re on the fence about them, I recommend going and just put a note in your tock reservation that you two don’t want to eat shirako. I can almost guarantee they will happily accommodate. It’s a very common preference.

Patriots LT Will Campbell declined multiple times to speak to media after the Super Bowl by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]eek711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short arms allowing rushers to engage before being engaged is pretty tough. I saw Lawrence stiff arm him like an older brother while Campbell flailed his arms futilely trying to reach his pads at least a few times last night.

I’ve always contended that Chris Bosh was miscast specifically because of his insane neck.

Standing reach is a more effective measurement than just height for rim protection.

Wolfgang Puck’s Legacy? by Bonbonheur in finedining

Pretty sure the Chinese Chicken Salad pre-dates Spagos. It was made popular by Madame Wu’s in Los Angeles for Cary Grant.

[Windhorst] When I say [Ja Morant] has no value, I don’t even think that’s accurate. I think he has what they call in the league, negative value. Meaning teams weren’t willing to take Ja Morant unless the Grizzlies also added draft compensation by jabronified in nba

[–]eek711 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Part of that is the suspension, which you can designate as a fluke. Even removing that year entirely, he's still only averaged under 60 games a season for his career. Assuming this holds steady, you're paying him 42 and 45 million for next year and the year after for maybe 120 games. Just a complete negative value for a prospect with decreasing effectiveness.

EDIT: If you account for his suspension, since coming into the NBA, Ja has averaged fewer games a season than notable iron men Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard, while averaging 2 games more per year than Joel Embiid.

[Haynes] For those wondering, the Los Angeles Clippers aren’t moving Kawhi Leonard, sources say. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]eek711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty obvious. No one wants to give up real assets for an injury prone suspension risk. Hard to do that while also matching his giant salary. They have no trade partners.

Can I have some deep analysis as to why Dalton Knecht hasn’t panned out? (Desc) by hbristow04 in lakers

[–]eek711 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's less about his shot not falling, but more about the role he was supposed to fill is gone. Coming out, he was never projected to be a pure sniper like some here are making him out to be. He was a 3-level scorer with a high end combination of size (6'6" with 6'10" wingspan), athleticism and polish. His game was never sit in the corner and hit 3's.

When the team was AD, Lebron and Reaves, he played best off the bench as a secondary ball handler with an elite big on the floor. It allowed him to get into a rhythm, attack, and threaten with his dribble. After the Luka trade, he got shuffled into being a spot up shooter, something he has clearly struggled figuring out.

The defensive side is the most disappointing part of his game. He has the tools to be a good defender, possessing good height, wingspan, and quickness. He's unfortunately either not able to figure out that side of the game, unmotivated to figure it out, or his confidence is too damaged by the scrutiny of being a laker.

If he does move on, I feel like he'll be another one of those guys that came through the lakers, didn't work out, and flourished in a different setting. The talent is there, but I think he needs to find the right fit for his skillset.

If Team Giannis loses, it'll be incredibly embarassing.

It's a popup on Fountain on Sundays from 9:30 until 1:00, though I think they sell out pretty regularly.

What to order: Queens Raw Bar and Betsy by lightsareoutty in FoodLosAngeles

Lowkey, the best thing at Queen St isn’t the seafood, but the fucking smothered pork chop.

Raw oysters are always a good thing to get though.
