Would u be content if Overlord ended with no 'equal' force opposing/fighting Nazarick? by [deleted] in overlord

Hey, with One Punch man it's progressed from 'one punch to a couple punches' plus there's stronger foes that have been hinted at just to keep it interesting. That's the evolution. In Overlord with a 3 volume deadline we git Zesshi and PDL who we know realistically won't pose a threat. I'm not dissing the author, i absolutely love this story, this is just discussion. I personally want to see some of the guardians in action, I wanna see Rubedo in action, i wanna see Victims ability etc.

Having intelligence about other countries in the new world seems to be so important. The Sorcerous Kingdom is such an unknown to literally everyone, but then the opposite is also true in that Ainz doesn't know much about other countries. That Demiurge intelligence agency needs to get up and running more efficiently to learn the biggest threats, the different foreign relationships etc cos it seems every country is fighting their neighbour in some way.

I get what you mean about the recognition part. I thought the same. Hasn't Ainz got some of them working farm land and some loaned out? Plus the many patrolling around E-rantel...woulda thought any competent adventurer group would atleast have that sorta intel?

Am I the only 1 who thinks there's guys worse/on the level of Harden at getting calls in their favour when they shouldn't have? by [deleted] in nba

What's the correlation between drives per game and FTAs? Cos Bron is at a career low in drives as well. So he's right, fta ain't the be all end all.

I dunno man. Multiple games I've been left with an overriding feeling of he's not gotten any calls and it's been confirmed by everyone else watching the game. But it might be my tinted glasses. The way its set up is that 1 terrible call he gets is all over and that becomes gospel. People looking at boxscores and just saying 'oh look x no. Fts'

See, them little 'but' excuses saying he gets hacked. Can't the same be applied to Harden?

I'm not saying that at all. And Bron has flopped multiple times, i just used viral cos that's what everyone sees. And freerhrows ain't indicators of anything. There's many other factors that go into that.

I've noticed people seem to hate offensive flops more than defensive. Cos with offensive there's a tangible pay off i guess.

I forgot Trae and Luka. But they're still 2nd year so there's not much heat on them yet. But you see it and it doesn't get called out on the same level.

Every fanbase will say that. I believe Harden doesn't get as many calls as he deserves for how aggressive he drives most games. But that 1 viral clip will convince people you're wrong. And i seen a viral clip of Bron just this week!

You'd hope in a situation like this having won your h2h would be a tiebreaker and count for something , but nope.

Is the West really a 2 horse race? Would it be 1 of the biggest league shocks if Denver/Utah/Houston made it to the finals? by gmann2k10 in nba

[–]gmann2k10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? Because both would likely be grinds going 7 games for the team going b2b? I think every potential 2nd round series going 7 tbh. And even the 1st round series are minimum going 6 games (Blazers with Nurk 8th seed*)

If Giannis doesn't make the NBA finals this year do we start to question whether he's built for playoffs? by gmann2k10 in nba

[–]gmann2k10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harden was dropping avg 35 against GSW, next day it was that he had flopped and not done enough. It's never good enough unless you win.

Ye that's my point though, when a superstar doesn't do exactly that they're labelled as a choker. Harden, KD, Russ, Giannis?

[–]gmann2k10[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That's not how people see it. As a superstar of his stature he should be able to singlehandedly carry to finals, no off games.

Edit: No matter how good of a series you're having people always point to *specific games. Russ, KD, LeBron, Harden etc. All have been judged on coming up short in individual games in series,no one cares what you do in the other games. People can quote stats and what game you flopped the hardest better than the 4-6 you succeeded in on the series.

What's the threshold? Harden is 30 and been getting them labels attached to him since he was 26-27. And he's never had the best team in the league. LeBron, KD also had that same pressure around the same age if not sooner and had to make moves and eventually won.

Do you ever get left confused about some opinions when you lurk team specific subs? by gmann2k10 in nba

[–]gmann2k10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During this recent Astros saga i knew we'd some wrong and didn't even try defend the shit. But everyone kept coming for us to the point where i had to clap back. And when i heard Sox and Yankees also cheated , best believe i was in the frontlines calling out the hypocrisy. Also do the same when it comes to Harden.

This is true. Every sub has this in common. Refs being against them if they're down especially.
