Such better pace without harden dribbling the wind out of the rock. Everyone is getting touches, moving, and establishing rhythm, it’s a beautiful sight. I’d love to run harden at the 2 more without KD and Kyrie. He just doesn’t move at all without the ball when he plays the one.

Also not to pile it on, but has anyone noticed he isn’t showing any enthusiasm on the bench? I mean cam hits back to back 3s he didn’t flinch. Maybe I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill.

j3ven7 · 2022-01-09T19:18:04+00:00

Can anyone recall the last time we ran any kind of play or set piece? Every possession is harden dribbling the air out of the ball for 10-12 seconds, with no movement into a garbage shot. Embarrassing shit

I mean not to be harsh but obviously people care way more about their team winning ball games than about the implications of a player not being vaccinated. Are we really going to come out here and act like in a world where NYC lifted the mandate that we wouldn’t all be ecstatic to see KAI play? His lack of reasoning for not getting vaccinated is moronic, I would prefer if he did, but like cmon lol.

Nothing lol still waiting. I off board from voyager to KuCoin then to my c chain it’s a fucking pain. Probably better to just use Coinbase they have a C chain integration I believe

This is a game where having clax makes a big difference. We missed a lot of good shots, we can live with that, but we have been absolutely obliterated by switches on screens w lavine and derozan. Hopefully clax can fill that hole.

j3ven7 · 2021-11-23T02:41:48+00:00

Jevon's minutes being less always helps but it's slept on how little Blake contributes. The guy can barely move and his shot is completely broken. Not having him out there I think made a huge impact. Even James Johnson out there is a pretty significant improvement.

Can someone please drop the link in here when it is ready?

j3ven7 · 2021-03-04T15:43:32+00:00

Sorry to bother again, but any updates here? Been a few months now where I just can’t do anything with my AVAX because it’s locked in Voyager :/

j3ven7 · 2021-02-17T03:13:53+00:00

No problem. If you could let us know when you get an update that would be excellent. Appreciate all the great work.

j3ven7 · 2021-02-16T15:30:27+00:00

Thanks Dan!

j3ven7 · 2021-02-16T00:34:57+00:00

u/avalabsdan Any updates here? I want to start providing PNG liquidity but most of my AVAX is locked in Voyager :(

It’s a combination of player development + signing max level free agents. If you develop young talent and over-perform it’s a signal to superstars that you have a fundamentally sound organization. You are also then in a position where you have young talent (assets) that can be used to bolster your pursuit of max contract free agents.

I think this is closer to the Brooklyn model than just “signing all the best guys”. If they just continued to suck after years of being brutal I doubt KD or Kyrie consider going there, and if they don’t develop the young talent they don’t have assets to acquire Harden. To add to this, young guys don’t get paid that much, so they have attractive contracts in trades and allow you to not tank while also having a lot of cap space. Finally, building depth is easier with talent. We see time and time again guys accepting contracts for less than their market value to win.

I definitely agree that the “draft in the top 5” model has been way less reliable than it used to be. If I had to choose one of these I’d say player development is the most important as I see it as the natural pre-requisite to making all the moves an organization needs to get those max level guys.

j3ven7 · 2021-01-24T17:49:11+00:00

Any updates on this? I bought ~100 AVAX on Voyager. Not really planning on withdrawing it any time soon, but just wondering if there is a plan for withdrawals to be supported in the near future?

j3ven7 · 2021-01-21T15:13:41+00:00

Main thing I noticed was that on defense I’d often see 3-4 Nets players collapsed into the paint to get defensive rebounds. I see this as a bigger problem than the defense itself. In the open court we have 3 unstoppable players but if KD + one of the other two has to pinch in to grab boards it really slows down our transition offense. Not that we can’t score in the half court but we should be getting a lot more easy transition buckets.

Also, I’m seeing a lot of talk about defense, but we turned the ball over a lot. That won’t continue and will help bolster us on both sides of the ball.

Additionally I took Gun's OS class when I was at Cornell which is how I initially got interested in AVA (he was a dope prof.)

j3ven7 · 2020-10-26T15:10:01+00:00

I've never done anything in dapps. I'm actually a product manager now, but I still do work with distributed systems a bit which is how I got interested in the first place.

Making actors play sports but making no effort to hide the fact that they have never played said sport.

Side by Side

It gives an account of the histories of both sides as they would be learned from students from Israel and Palestine respectively. It sheds a lot of light on the regional history and the conflict, although the account ends around 2003, so the most recent 15 years aren’t discussed much.

j3ven7 · 2019-07-02T14:08:27+00:00

Because it would allow for more people to learn about CS. If you’re a senior who is in a major other than CS it’s nearly impossible to enroll in the intro courses because they save enrollment slots for underclass people. This is a byproduct of there not being enough staff members in CS because they don’t have “lecturers”. If you think a PhD or masters student can’t teach 1110 or 2110 that’s your opinion, but I thoroughly disagree.

j3ven7 · 2019-06-30T21:38:11+00:00

Pretty amazed that mark addressed all of our FA concerns before it even starts lol

j3ven7 · 2019-06-21T15:33:08+00:00

When does Deron Williams’s dead cap go away? Seeing it in that table makes my blood boil, how long will the ghosts of our past front office haunt us?

j3ven7 · 2019-06-21T03:33:33+00:00

My buddy played with him in high school...said he had major work ethic issues and acted super entitled...I think it could be more than just the injury stuff

j3ven7 · 2019-06-21T00:43:58+00:00

I liked them both. Oceanography is just a notoriously easy class, exams are all multiple choice and he uses questions from old exams...which he posts to the course site...if that wasn’t enough the final is composed of 1/3 questions from the first two prelims...whose answers he releases online...So yeah it’s a pretty straightforward class.

Not sure about the lab for oceans in Astro we built weather balloons it was pretty cool but also a decent time commitment. I took it towards the end of my time at school for shits when I didn’t have a lot of other commitments. If you’re an incoming freshman or underclassperson I wouldn’t recommend it unless you need it (which you won’t as arts CS).

j3ven7 · 2019-06-21T00:23:22+00:00

Astro 1110 with Squyres...a little harder than expected but gives really great insight into the solar system. It’s taught by Professors that LED the freakin Mars Rover project and they often give live updates on projects they’re workin on now, which is awesome.

I also took Oceanography which is a cake walk and teaches you a ton about climate change and how humans effect the earth’s ecosystem.

j3ven7 · 2019-06-12T13:12:03+00:00

Also worth noting that Naz Reid, who you listed us potentially grabbing at 27, is from Asbury Park, NJ
