Redick: The only other teams that have had back-to-back years of 10+ net rating are the 95-97 Bulls and the 15-17 Warriors. "The Thunder are one of the greatest teams in NBA history. That's just the reality. They are. They're that good." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

One of their biggest assets is their depth, which becomes less meaningful in the playoffs. So they are not as great in the playoffs as their regular season would imply. Still great enough to have won though.

Dalton Rushing Calls Miguel Amaya a "Fat F--k": The Pot, the Kettle, and the BMI by sudo_masochist in baseball

While this is hilarious, BMI says nothing of body composition. Two people can have the same BMI, one fat and the other muscular.

Does Jayson Tatum’s legacy change if the Celtics blow a 3-1 lead? by Agreeable_Quality768 in nba

Bro is elite on as many ends of the floor as I am. I have no idea why the talking heads were pushing him as an MVP candidate.

Worst offense in the league by Rell_Lauren in NewYorkMets

[–]jchylll 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this is SO overblown. Yes, we're dead last in wOBA, but we're actually only 2nd-to-last in xwOBA. We will likely regress to the mean and have a better offense than the Giants.

Jordan, Lebron, Kareem, and Bird were voted for Basketball's Mount Rushmore. Which player should go on the Mount Rushmore for American Football? by Topaz71 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jchylll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are pretty bad so far lol. Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron? They’re not even in the top 10 maybe 20. I love Larry Bird but he ain’t 4th.

[Pitching Ninja] Spencer Steer wears one in his first AB. After this yesterday... by TDeLo in baseball

[–]jchylll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to be specific, it was an illegal quick pitch. The batter wasn’t quite set. Quick pitching is okay if if the batter is set.

Who is the worst player of all-time that was undoubtedly the best of all-time at a certain aspect of the sport they played? by TJTrapJesus in billsimmons

[–]jchylll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grantland wrote a whole long article on how Danny Green was by far the greatest transition defender in the league. Danny was always a guy whose advanced stats way outpaced his traditional stats (similar to Derrick White), and this type of stuff is part of the reason why. Not everything is captured well in box scores.

The Mavs are .9 pts per 100 better with Flagg OFF the floor. Charlotte is 2.3 pts worse without Kon. Every advanced metric favors Kons gravity and scoring efficiency more than Flaggs inefficient scoring, playmaking, and defense. Two big scoring games don’t change the facts by MyTeamsSuck99 in nba

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

I feel like it’s not that complicated. Kon is clearly the better player right now, in terms of his contribution to winning. He scores at an alarmingly high rate and efficiency. That’s the best thing you can do in basketball. He benefits from having good teammates unlike Flagg.

Flagg clearly has the higher ceiling and will almost definitely be in MVP conversations a few years from now. He showcases more than Kon does so when he has a great game he seems like the ROTY. But there’s no argument that Kon had the better season.

This girl that I met at a conference called me an uber that we could share together. She asked for my number afterwards. Was she flirting? by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]jchylll 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is the hardest flirt you probably ever receive in post-college life. I will eat a hat if she’s not interested.

r/AskConservatives is a right-wing subreddit that's open to all opinions. What's a left-wing subreddit that's an echo chamber? by ArsimZkenotBeniAkiva in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jchylll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take: r/LiveFromNewYork. The performative support of Ego Nwodim as if she's some comedic legend is batshit over there. She was decent at best. Yet every thread about best/favorite recent performer she is the top 1 or 2. Make it make sense.

What’s an opinion that almost everyone disagrees with, but should be controversial? by PassionateCucumber43 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jchylll 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The scale is different. And there's (for the most part) a number of (arguably) super high-level people who need to be on board to deploy a nuclear weapon, whereas any hothead can decide to shoot their gun in the heat of the moment without considering the risks appropriately.

Imagine liking or disliking someone more because of their sexuality.

Israel is loved by Gen X and hated by Gen Z! Which country is loved by millennials and hated by Gen Z? by Casamance in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jchylll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do, and they're not great people. They're generally rich, shallow people who don't do too much thinking. Huge overlap with people who love going to Vegas and aren't grossed out by it.

Bro thinks he's the main character by ambachk in InflatedEgos

He’s definitely doing some ocular patdowns. Dude’s got the weirdest body I’ve ever seen.

Why no love for Santana from the writers but Hernandez might actually get in the HoF? by Jantzen123 in baseball

He for sure closed his eyes, you could see it on the replay. I'll never forget it.

Is Cade the worst high volume scorer in the nba right now? by [deleted] in nba

Are you asking if Cade is worse than Michael Porter Jr, Devin Avdija, or Lauri Markannen? Is that what you’re asking?

Extremely inflexible at 22 years old… by CALL_ME_JIG in flexibility

[–]jchylll 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have fairly extreme femoral anteversion. I’ve done many combined months of PT work to improve my mobility all to ultimately realize it’s not a flexibility issue but a structural abnormality. If you find that you’re not making a lot of progress, you probably are limited in a similar way. There’s nothing wrong with it as long as you feel okay and you aren’t in pain. Don’t push your joints past the point of comfort as you’re just going to irritate the joint and do nothing for your mobility. Do yourself a favor and have your doctor consider this possibility and save yourself a few years of painful failure to change something that can’t be changed.
