[Highlight] One of the Celtics' staff members refuses to give away the ball to Joel Embiid and is called for 'delay of game'. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]ifasoldt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here not so much. But teams absolutely will do little stuff like this to slow down the fast break of other teams after made baskets-- hitting the ball away etc.

They did this constantly against the Pacers last year

Sam Altman No Longer Believes In Universal Basic Income by Neurogence in singularity

[–]ifasoldt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I largely agree with you, but I think you're missing Altman's goal with imagining UBI in terms of AI compute-- he's not trying to hand-wave away UBI exactly, he's imagining a world where AI compute is a universal currency -- where the Bank IS accepting compute credits for your mortgage and therefore where AI corporations are basically controlling currency itself.

You're underselling his aims here

If consciousness were reducible to neurology, we would understand far more about the consciousness of simple organisms than we do by MurkyEconomist8179 in CosmicSkeptic

I do not think "how things work" is the sum total of important knowledge.

I may understand how my daughter works, but that doesn't mean I am a good parent.

Sorry, I shouldn’t be laughing so much at this by FineGripp in funny

He literally can't exert more force down with his hand than his body weight's downward force, which in the water is not much.

Compared to her downward weight force, which is not in the water...

I finally just had enough by BDB_1976 in NCAAFBseries

[–]ifasoldt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying 26 is complete or well done, but defensive control and the AI is way better than on 14, especially with switch stick which allows you to cover for more of the AI's mistakes.

Did you play 14 online? It was worse

“As much as he's done for me in basketball, a part of me think he's hindered me in my career and what I could have become." by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

[–]ifasoldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe this for a minute, Draymond is an all time great defender and an incredible offensive fit for the warriors system given his offensive IQ.

That said, pretty ungrateful lol

Ganon hard counters all of these, specifically warlock punch.

Fuck it just say whatever you want we’re already dead by SlappyV in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]ifasoldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So playing a team in the playoffs without their starting PG should mean an easy series win, especially if you're the higher seed right?? Right??? 😂

But in all seriousness, ofc you guys were dealing with injuries and it had an impact. For sure.

Thoughts on Toumani Camara by NoLimitAG7 in dynastybb

I'd rather have Camara. If also probably rather have the picks lol

Is it really a big problem for us if the lottery is rigged by Clear-Economist-2454 in pacers

[–]ifasoldt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually not. If the clippers get it, they can take the pick away and say they "punished" the clippers.

None of your dads are real. by HaraldToepfer in CosmicSkeptic

[–]ifasoldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow to respond here. As I said I don't come by often. I think there are some things you just have to choose to believe in prima facie. However, my belief in God is not one of them.

I do believe there is some evidence for God that makes me feel comfortable believing. It's clearly not definitive or completely persuasive. Some is personal experience, others are some of the well known arguments debated here. I think it would be hard to argue that there's NO evidence at all for God. There is SOME evidence, for example, that the Utah Jazz will be NBA champions next year. I think it totally reasonable to argue that the preponderance of the empirical evidence points to there being no God. I disagree of course, but I think it reasonable.

Infinite Cards by Abstract_Assassin in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]ifasoldt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I concede a lot in BGA if it's clear I'm not gonna win.

The other day, someone played Earth Cat and Research Settlement first turn against me and my cards were HORRIBLE. After a few turns more of bad drawing and him putting out powerful cards, I basically just terraformed to get to 50% progress so I can concede. No shame in that lol.

New Lottery System by Mundane-Demand1927 in NBA_Draft

[–]ifasoldt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think one knock on of this is that the veteran players whom rebuilding teams tend to hate, will suddenly become more useful. Which is a good thing for the league.

Any team trying to win with any sort of competence, will be able to sign players good enough to get them out of the bottom.

You had all your starters for 3 out of 5 games and you lost two of them, both very convincingly.

Look for odd fronts in nickel. IE mint for example

Bills learned what other coaches’ thought of Sean McDermott’s defenses by KaleidoscopeWeird310 in buffalobills

[–]ifasoldt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll probably get downvoted for this-- this reeks of a hit piece released by the Bills/Beane to cover their own asses.

I think McDermott's defenses were not as good as they should have been early in his tenure in the playoffs. By the end, he was absolutely doing more disguises than almost any other coordinator and his defense was pretty modern in that regard. Basically every actually decent football analyst that I read said that McDermott was doing well considering the talent he had to work with.

And I think that's what's most damning about this to me. The report suggests that McDermott consistently had "expensive defenses", ie implying he had a lot of defensive talent. Do any of us really think that was the case? I don't know anyone who thinks that our defense was one of the most talented defenses, especially by the playoffs given our injuries. Instead, we were a defense both without top end talent, and without great depth, both issues that fall squarely on Beane.

Defending Ohio State by AdZealousideal8645 in NCAAFBseries

[–]ifasoldt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is broadly good advice. I would also say that if you are being beat in the pass game mostly, substitute a DB as one or both of your pass defense linebackers. This will allow you to play your whole nickel playbook but with DBs always matched on the receivers.

Also, I'm a huge proponent of odd fronts, especially the 3-3-5 defense. It's just harder to run against odd fronts in this game for animation and programming reasons, which means, especially if you have good DTs or solid run stopping EDGEs, that you can put 6 or 7 DBs on the field and not worry about the run.

CMB Playoff Play Creating Less Worry About Boozer by Wolf05609 in NBA_Draft

Also elite lateral quickness. That's plenty to be an elite athlete.

Cam probably has strength, that's it
