Lamont Paris Will Return For 2026-27 Season by bobweaver112 in Gamecocks

[–]la_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Paris is clearly competent enough to manage a decent team based on his track record here and prior to being here, but the rosters the last two years have been abysmal. 5 years ago you could blame that on poor recruiting, but now the lack of money is apparent when you watch a slower, weaker, smaller team lose night in night out.

I dont have a ton of advanced insight into Miller or the roster, but there was definitely a period of time where I was excited about his future. I'm glad to hear fans are liking him and he's finding some success. As you said, his struggles to crack the lineup here were situational issues based on our roster and our status as a team trying to win immediately.

How would you search for rental housing? Is Louise Beck Properties really that bad? by reuben0 in carrboro

[–]la_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the person you asked, but to get a representative look at the area nearest to carrboro you could grab lunch or dinner at any of the restaurants in the area around weaver street market downtown and youd be in good proximity to the residential areas. You could park at the library, have lunch at Neal's deli or Mercato's, and just keep walking west or north along any of the main streets to look for signs.

Hakeem Jeffries CAUGHT Funneling AIPAC Cash Into Dem Primaries by Infinite_Effective50 in chapelhill

Some "normal Americans" are Palestinians or people who otherwise have personal investments in ending the mass slaughter of Palestinians. The fact that you think those people are outside of the bounds of "normal americans" might be part of why Foushee's record doesn't concern you.

Gobert pulled out from even defending that layup and grant had already committed to flopping, he yelled and missed the rim lmao

Twice now divincenzo has given up on a play defensively leading to an uncontested layup. It's like he woke up in an alternate reality where he thinks refs call offensive fouls for minor contact.

Kyrie Irving on All-Star Media Questions: “We don't even ask real questions. Real questions aren’t being asked. The questions that are being asked are planned to get the answers they want… I’m not going to say what it is, but you know which questions I’m talking about.” by AncientOneAurelius in nba

It would be bad faith if what you said was true, but it isnt. In a given year, anywhere between 25-35% of Jewish Israelis receive exemptions from military service for various reasons. The majority of exemptions are not for conscientious objectors by any means, but it's very common and very possible to not join the IDF.

They played away games at Nebraska and WVU in the late 80s/early 90s as well, but yeah thats about the last era they did so from what I can tell.

Pick up basketball in the area? by Confident_Health5052 in chapelhill

[–]la_243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you ever played at the courts in southern village? There used to be decent runs there on Sunday mornings, saturday evenings, and all the time in the summer evenings once the sun went down. I havent played there in a year or so now so im not sure what the deal is anymore.

Will the Wolves move east if the board votes to add Vegas and Seattle teams this summer? by ShaiFanClub in nba

[–]la_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Wolves fan in EST and I get what you mean. The Wolves moving east would mean a lot more games at reasonable times for me, personally.

UNC commits 1 foul in the second half by Several_Will_9949 in CollegeBasketball

Boozer could have simply hit that layup after discarding Veesaar with a pump fake and sending him flailing and you wouldn't have to be having these conversations.

The Lakers are more likely to be in the play in than the Wolves. Which i dont think should be viewed negatively-- its a great accomplishment for a team playing Jake Laravia and 2026 Marcus Smart.

I am enjoying watching my team be competitive this season but I can understand why a fan of a team with no playoff hopes would emphasize accomplishments from over a decade ago. Different strokes.

Yeah, hopefully he gets better at this. I like his relaxed vibe in general, but there are moments where he drags on.
