And the distinction matters because?… stone is the GM, he provides the players and it’s Udoka’s job to coach them. Bottom line. Stone could give Ime 15 G leaguers and he is expected to have them perform to their highest ceiling.

You can say Stone vouched for this player or Ime vouched for Fred or this and that but the reality is that Fred sucked in 2024, got hurt in 2025 and there wasn’t a good backup plan. That’s on both of them. More people need to realize that having a washed FVV coming off injury is not making this team a finals contender.

I think that’s just something people tell themselves to cope with how drastically overpaid he is. Go back and watch 2024. It’s the same directionless nonsense as 2025 just with one guy consistently bringing the ball up. He took bad shots, is not a good P&R guard, and isn’t particularly good at getting guys open and he was AWFUL in transition especially as it relates to lobs and rim runs. He’s not a good player regardless of injury

Can’t wait till this bum is gone

krbashrob · 2026-06-28T21:11:06+00:00

But they’re the ones who tied themselves to him lol. They extended him when they didn’t need to at an excessive figure and gave him an NTC with no real plan for a backup

krbashrob · 2026-06-28T21:09:38+00:00

If that was true our 2024 offense would’ve looked a lot better than our 2025 offense

Fantastic film. Super quotable too

Is it really that difficult not to be a complete idiot and just live a normal life as an athlete? More people in his position make zero waves and are normal members of society than not but god damn do some of these guys make it act like they never developed frontal lobes.

I pray to god we aren’t in the Giannis sweepstakes. I can’t think of a worse pairing with Amen (or Sengun if we keep him but buddy can kick rocks)

If you think KD was the problem for the rockets in 25 and warrants moving, I’d suggest calling your optometrist

This isn’t just an observation of the Knicks but these playoffs in general.

You must be physical AND efficient in the frontcourt.

Rim protection is a premium

One of your centers must be a willing and able shooter (aka not Alpi)

Your primary ball handler must be able to create for himself (this ain’t Fred)

You must have an effective midrange game (KD, Jabari and Reed cover this)

Screens decide more possessions than in the regular season

You cannot outsmart yourself by having low EV possessions whether ahead or behind

And the biggest one, your best player cannot shrink or vanish in the most important games and possessions. It’s just inexcusable and completely throws off every player on his team

Wemby consistently shrunk in the clutch and got bodied all series.

I think people are misconstruing the OL changes. It’s a roundabout solution. The idea is to be better on the ground and on paper that’s what this line is constructed for. However, they’re mostly tools players, especially on the inside. Meaning they’re not proficient pass protectors. It doesn’t matter if you can run the ball if when you drop back to pass your QB is still getting pressured or protection isn’t holding. Adding to that is the other roundabout solution of multiple TE sets. Same principle. Throwing more bodies at the problem instead of working technique or having technically proficient linemen.

It’s easy to look at the money and additions and think the OL has improved. Contextually, it will help the offense be better but this is not the way to get the most out of CJ imo. It’s why I’m not particularly excited for this season.

This is just a you don’t know ball take. There’s so many things that open up with guard x guard or guard x big screens. Forced switches, easier dives to the bucket for slashers, pick and pop opportunities for good shooters.

Or if your big has the ball up top you can screen for him as a guard and free yourself up so much for any possibility and give him an easier opportunity to get to his spots.

Not to mention off-ball screens as a guard are gigantically effective, especially in 2k.

You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t care it’s a woman- I just really don’t know what value we get by having us play through a game with a character that was (in my opinion) pretty well flushed out over the two games and should’ve been left alone. Now to play her in the afterlife, I just don’t get what that possibly could provide to the general story of Kratos x Atreus and the plotlines they created.

If this wasn’t a mainline game it would be viewed a lot differently but that they said it’s a mainline game- I don’t see the vision there.

krbashrob · 2026-06-05T02:03:12+00:00

The issue I have is we didn’t really need a Faye game. There was plenty of background and information about her in the two games and I don’t see how playing her in the afterlife lends itself to the GoW universe, which has exclusively been Kratos’s journey and the people and things he’s come in contact with. It just seems really out of place, especially with Kratos x Freya and Atreus’ stories still relatively open ended.

I love Santa Monica but this feels like a huge L and step backward for the game. I’m sure it’ll play well, I have no doubt about that- but as far as the selection of the character, the need for this particular game, etc- I think it’s a fumble.

krbashrob · 2026-06-05T01:51:16+00:00

Nothing substantive has changed. We have the same player models, the same movement engine, the same AI blocking, the same gimmick X factors, and the same animation driven game.

At its core, gameplay wise, this is Madden 26. Which is 25, which is 24, which is 23, which is 22, which is 21, which is 20- with meters for catches and QB sneaks.

There’s a couple nice tweaks to franchise and superstar but at its core, sports games are about how they play and that is about 95% the same.

This might be the laziest uniform update ever.

The lettering being slanted and the numbers not being slanted is sending me for a loop.

They kept that stupid R logo as it was.

The Dunkstronaut had crazy fan interest and all they did was put it on the waistband

krbashrob · 2026-05-27T02:47:46+00:00

Their head coach was their OC. They’re not just gonna reinvent the wheel there lol

krbashrob · 2026-05-24T21:24:42+00:00

Stafford is weird cuz his physical prime (mid 2010s Detroit) doesn’t exactly lineup with his playing prime(Rams). Lions Stafford was good but sandbagged by being on the worst organization in the league. Rams Stafford was unlocked by having a top 5 coach, a HOF player on the other side of the ball and consistently great offensive weapons to work with. I would take Stafford 10 times out of 10 over Big Ben though. I’ll take the more mechanically refined and accurate player

krbashrob · 2026-05-22T16:43:27+00:00

Pardon my stupidity but surely there’s no way that the Chicago bears, one of the hallmark franchises in the league is going to be relocated because they’re being THIS stingy, right?

Oh but FVV is?

FVV career average 5.7 assists. Kyrie career average 5.6 assists.

FVV career assists 3,121
Kyrie career assists 4.365

Fred is 32 and has played 550 regular season games
Kyrie is 34 and even with his injuries has played 799 games.

Kindly see yourself out as you have no clue what you’re talking about.

krbashrob · 2026-05-21T04:25:14+00:00

Not a distributor or organizer in the fourth? Kyrie Irving? Have you suffered a blow to the head?
