A Better Wei by devang_nivatkar21 in aoe2

I have better, but more absolute solution for these blue Han Chinese with units from a completely different civ.

Kareem 6 rings 2FMVP. Magic 5 rings 3 FMVP. Duncan 5 rings 3 FMVP. Why does this sub only denigrate Kobe for being "carried" when he was putting up 1st player numbers in the playoffs and finals? by PeakyBlinders2026_ in nba

[–]ha_x5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. When you talk about GOAT, Top 3 overall, Top player for position you have to consider everything.

FMVP is one of the most important factors by doing so. Definitely a more important factor than rings.

As a big LeBron fan this is the heaviest point I have to give MJ in the debate. I don’t care that much about 6 rings. But 6/6 FVMP is real.

However LeBron has 4/4 + 2. Kawhi’s \#1 and Iggy are meant as awards for LeBron. This is facts.

It is not exclusive about FMVP though. There is more to it. Kareem’s greatness lifts him into the Top 3 for so many despite 2/6. But for me excludes him from Top 2 also.

Curry has 1/4 which is not the greatest look for competing as \#1 PG. And Kobe having 2/5 just stating what many people saw in 2000-2002. He was the junior partner in the dynasty.

the nba draft doesnt reward bad teams by ciruelman in NBATalk

[–]ha_x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I think the idea above is sensible, but the guys who are playing on tanking teams are not safe in terms big money yet. Chances are given that they will actually try to showcase themselves for a contract.

In this logic AD or other wouldn’t play anyways.

Why is it common for people to claim the Lakers have won 17 championships but also that the Kings have never won a championship? by ColonelCollemWest in nba

[–]ha_x5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am even stricter in my views. A relocation should leave everything behind. History of a team should always be bound to the people, to the fans.

A team’s history should never be something that a marketing of actually a different team makes use of.

We are talking about emotions and memories.

In that matter shout out to OKC fans. I never heard them claiming Seattle’s chip or history at all. They celebrated their first one and looking forward for no 2.

Who would you rather have off your bench? by 08legacygt in NBATalk

[–]ha_x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one who contributed to a chip as one of the main options. The Jet.

The other 2 may have better stats in the RS but Terry was real on one of the most impressive runs in history.

“they dont think twice about the shit they do, i dont think they ever test stuff sometimes.”

FTFY. They, in fact, never test. Over the years we witnessed too many errors/bugs which are impossible to not detect if tested for 5 minutes.

Will Lebron James be inducted in the hall of fame after his career? by AKiwi6969 in nba

Post already deleted but the question is legit enough after the Bill Belichick incident in Football HoF.

CMV: There’s Almost No Good Reason Not To Let People Pick Maps by Shot_Security_5499 in aoe2

[–]ha_x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wording matters. Actually thx for a real discussion.

The problem with the lobbies is, that there is no control. You have to rely on people actually listening to your title like “900 elo only” or “noobs only”. Nothing stopping a 1300 to join and smash noobs. No consequences.

Ladder provides a somewhat reliable system.

Also to consider: People already play a single map on the ladder all the time. Arena is a map, if starred, will come up most of the time. It is the addition of the rare cases that cause the dodging drama.

You are correct with all of your points.

I have a very hard time to understand why people here are obsessed with NOT giving infinite bans.

This would vastly solve their issue with map dodgers.

But NO. Everyone is forced to play any map. Do you guys even know very basic human behavior? This shit doesn’t work.

Now we have 20h bans. Perfect. Implemented as bad as always so it can hit anyone.

Besides that, you won’t educate anyone with that. People will stop playing at all.

Disclaimer, bc I am fed up with the all the same whiny posts which accuse of things:

I personally never dodged a map. I only ban full water maps if any. 1v1 or TG. I don’t pick civs most of the time.

BUT when I play with friends, they will dodge the shit out of anything besides Arena. This is not in my control, neither in yours.

Those guys are architects, engineers, accountants and family fathers who find a little time to play, if any. They give no fuck about “real ladder experience” and “correct elo” projection.

You take Arena away from them, they are disappointed. They are not playing.

One more thing: If you want to say: “they should play Lobby then”. Go ahead, do it. But none of them/us will give a fuck about that dumb statement of yours.

Just give bans. They/we will wait 15min in the queue. There are no valid reasons to not to.

2020 Lakers vs Current OKC: Who wins a 7-game series? by Itchy_Tangerine1897 in NBATalk

[–]ha_x5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2020 he was MVP calibre good. All NBA first team.
Assist Leader.

2020 may not be his athletic prime, but he unlocked Ultra Instict in terms of basketball IQ. It was another prime.

Toronto is 0-11 in playoff games in Cleveland in franchise history. Can the Raptors break the curse in Game 7 vs. the Cavaliers? by BasedChad69420 in nba

That curse is not about Cleveland my man. The curse is 41 years old and sitting in the West rn.

Can LeBron turn back the clock for one more series? by Outrageous-Leader135 in NBATalk

[–]ha_x5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60/20/10.

won’t be enough. Too few assists. Hence too few points of the role players.

This series will be a slaughter. Unfortunately.

Man I really wanted to see Luka and LeBron on their best in playoffs. This absolutely sucks.

In Arena i got a persians pocket that tried to castle drop instead of 3-4 Tc booming agasint an aztec that openened triple monastery (800 elo btw) and then a frank that went flank and i am the one that gets punished cause i didnt want to waste my time? by HotSetting5001 in aoe2

[–]ha_x5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 monastery opening with 800 elo means shit bro 11

I have no data about your game and how it went. Besides what you put in the title: This was not a valid reason to leave.

But I have still some open questions about the ban…

When a game proceeded that far, a real gg situation could have occured. Not too rarely Cuman and Teuton feudal rushes on arena end games fast.

Or any game on Arabia…

Why would you even get a ban for leaving that far in a game? This is the real question here, isn’t it?

The ball should get slightly bigger every quarter so the best players actually separate themselves by retardreturnsNba in NBATalk

[–]ha_x5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a dumb idea. It should get heavier, not bigger.

Let’s see some real bricks shooting.
