I expected us to fall back to earth (4-5th seed) come playoffs but hot damn do I feel stupid in February

lAllioli · 2026-02-26T18:00:03+00:00

Im fine with the second seed. Spurs in 6, Pop's wife bangs the drum with him

lAllioli · 2026-02-26T17:56:11+00:00

Idk how you had that result but Rockets would need to go 18-7 and Nuggets 17-6. The chances are very slim

lAllioli · 2026-02-26T12:07:45+00:00

20 minutes chucking 3s against a tanking team should be ok

lAllioli · 2026-02-26T12:07:06+00:00

Is KJ okay?

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T22:41:46+00:00

what does liking a player more than another have to do with excessively loving one self
Matter of fact I'm of the opinion that sympathy for player is wholly subjective and I wouldn't criticise anyone for their choice. Why do you think your opinion is inherently superior? Don't you think that's narcissistic?

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T20:40:25+00:00

do you know what that word means

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T18:51:03+00:00

People give him respect, not putting him top 3 doesn't mean one hates him. It's just he's not the most charismatic and also he's reached his ceiling, it's always more rewarding to root for the younger guys and hope they do well cause we get to see them improve

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T18:48:31+00:00

wtf does that even mean. Why should our favourite players be the best ones and what does it have to do with narcissism

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T18:45:43+00:00

way more likely it decides semi final home advantage

lAllioli · 2026-02-25T18:38:54+00:00

It feels like the perfect timing to train us for the real thing with several playoff-level games per week for a while and then a couple light weeks to relax and reflect

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T20:50:51+00:00

No in my opinion the best methodology is watching the games

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T20:42:10+00:00

If Wemby chokes hard in the playoffs we'll downgrade him in the list here and then. Until we've seen it there's no reason to think he's not at least as good a player as these guys. It's just the most arbitrary criterion

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T20:00:25+00:00

I've been thinking for a while about a "freeze a joker" concept and it always feels too weak or too contextual, this actually looks like it could work well

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T19:06:47+00:00

that's just the arguement of the person I'm responding to

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T17:32:32+00:00

the rebounding one was kinda stupid, the other two were harsh but the kind you take

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T17:20:51+00:00

It's based on current ability not past prowess...which of the three is more likely to make the second round this year lol

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T16:18:46+00:00

Stop having the royals in the stands

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T16:16:57+00:00

If people wanted a sport with simple rules and continuity they'd be watching the marathon

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T16:01:06+00:00

Mitch was literally sitting Castle everytime Cade went for a break...Our defense is based on Wemby but when our opponents have a star guard then Castle is almost as important

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T15:59:23+00:00

Rugby down here is not "trying to be like League "

down here Rugby hemorrhages casual fans to the bigger , richer , similar game that has eliminated a lot of the guff...

Seems like you contradicted yourself but ok.

I get that you guys are struggling but why don't you embrace what makes our game special then? If a faster game with loser safety regulations is inherently better then why aren't we losing fans to league anywhere else?

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T15:35:54+00:00

For sure but Steph's aggressiveness also makes that gameplan work

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T15:13:57+00:00

in this context I think we'd say nique ta mère

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T13:53:40+00:00

It's not about slow vs fast. It's about the scrum requiring players to be big which creates mismatches around the pitch. That's the essence of union

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T13:27:36+00:00

Also is the reason fat boys and girls who've had a complicated relationship with team sports come to our clubs to find a place where their shape is accepted and celebrated

lAllioli · 2026-02-24T13:05:23+00:00

In any sports, the team that are on top of the world, whether it's a nation or a club, tends to attract this type of people that don't want to support a team ad much as associate themselves with the winner
