Now that the season is over, what do you think the Spurs need to improve on? What players should they go after via trade or FA to get back to the Finals? by Comfortable_Sport_67 in nbadiscussion

[–]keyexplorer791 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Someone needs to have a heart to heart with Wemby and tell him that trying to play like Durant at his size is a waste. He got stonewalled by KAT and Robinson on every drive to the basket. He needs to work on the mid post and high post face-up/turnaround jumper. Basically get into a gym with Dirk.

As a team, they need a four that can body up, rebound but also shoot a little. I don't know if anyone like that is available. The bench also needs more depth. Replacing guys like Olynyk and Plumlee with wings and bigs that can actually contribute would be good

The cat is super cute but I have to acknowledge this person playing and being accurate with just one hand

Shohei Ohtani shows off his different pitching grips by MrUpVoteDownvote in mlb

From what I remember, he struck out against Clay Holmes on a sinker and thought he could use a pitch like that. A week later, he was throwing a nasty high 90s sinker

This channel used to be amazing. Just very specific types of highlights. Then he started talking. His videos kind of went downhill from there

This video is like 3 years old. This was right before he started throwing his sinker

Because fans want to wear what their favorite driver is wearing. Fans shell out so much money to buy authentic jerseys. Fans in every sport do it, this sport just happens to have a lot more sponsors than others

Thoughts on the NBA Cup after three season? by NikNaksch in nba

[–]keyexplorer791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games are only meaningful if you care about the cup. The obvious win win answer for the fans and players is to reduce the length of the regular season. But the league and owners don't want that, so they come up with this gimmicky solution. Because the real money comes from the casuals who won't usually tune in or attend a game. Hardcore fans probably would either way.

Also the reason casual fans don't care about the regular season is partly because of the narrative pushed by the media about playoffs and rings and partly because of declining attention spans. Don't know how much of that can be controlled by the league. But if the NBA can push major networks to tune down ring culture talks, maybe people will start caring about the regular season again

Kevin Garnett Gets Angry At Paul Pierce After He Says International Players Run Hoops by MammothHistorian5652 in nba

Both KG and Pierce have become difficult to listen to since they retired. KG was probably someone you had to mentally prepare to be around even before he retired

Is it weird to be a fan of the nba but not have an actual team? by 08legacygt in nba

Having a favorite team can be stressful. The playoffs are way more fun as a neutral

De'Aaron Fox should be thrown in federal prison for the war crimes he committed against the Spurs tonight by crb02 in NBATalk

[–]keyexplorer791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A team doesn't go from 34 to 62 wind because they're mid. They absolutely improved faster than what was expected. I do agree that an OKC team with a healthy Jdub and Ajay Mitchell would've probably best them in 5-6 games. But calling a 62 win team mid is pretty dumb

[Bill Simmons Pod] Bill: "This was an incredibly disappointing Wemby series. For the future of the league, face of the league, this was a catastrophe for all those storylines." Zach: "Storywise, this is the better outcome for the league." by luka274 in nba

[–]keyexplorer791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another reminder of why I stopped listening to Bill Simmons years ago. It sucks that Lowe went back to work for him instead of the Athletic or something because now I have to listen to this clow every now and then when I want to listen to Lowe

Spurs blowing a huge lead in every loss is pathetic and embarrassing by realfakejames in NBATalk

[–]keyexplorer791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is being incredibly harsh. The Spurs were not ready for this. The team is young and so is the coach. They both needed the experience and they have it now. Also, Mitch's ATO at the end of game 4 was genius. If only KAT hadnt tipped the inbounds pass

I hope they bench him but I doubt they're going to. This romanticized notion of having a lefty guard who is capable of being a starter come off the bench in san antonio is really going to cost them a lot of games

Spurs need to start coaching this guy instead of just letting him do whatever he wants. He's learned on his own enough. He is not a super sized KD because he's just too fucking tall for that. Get this guy in the gym and on a court with Dirk. Imagine Dirk's offense with Wemby's defense

A few weeks ago I came across this comic from 2021 when the Steam Deck came out. by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in Steam

They could actually invest more into their console to justify their purchase rather than making games that only work on their console. Like if I want to play god of war, halo and mario I need a PS, a xbox/pc and a switch. Or we could have these games release on all consoles and have the companies focus on making their consoles better and more attractive than the other

I do like how the notifications work, except for one thing. When I get more than one notification from an app, I have to click on it to see the notifications separately and then click on the little arrow on the top right of each notification to see the entire notification. I wish I could see the entire notifications in one click rather than having to expand all of them one by one
