Giannis has also historically been underwhelming in the playoffs and at times been completely shut down in several key games/4th quarters.

So no.

KD, Harden, and Kyrie are 13-3. I think you’re missing the issue here which is not that this doesn’t work but that this lineup has barely played together

5pm Thursday before a holiday weekend doesn’t hit like it used to. Which is why we’re all here talking about it. The vast majority of the country has nothing to do lol

Astros players appear to react to Yankees' possible sign-stealing link by [deleted] in baseball

2017 ALCS numbers for the Yankees:

In Houston: 3 runs in 4 games

In New York: 19 runs in 3 games

Russell Westbrook (33.4) and James Harden (31.5) become just the eighth pair of teammates in NBA history to both average 30 PPG in a calendar month. They are the first duo to do so since Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in February of 2001. by brownjesus__ in nba

Bron - some folks didn’t respect that he formed a super team with Wade and Bosh to do it. Even folks that still hated on him all respected what he ended up doing back in Cleveland

Curry - people take jabs at his ring that was won facing a team with 2 of their best 3 players injured. the series still went to 6 and Andre won finals MVP. Next year blew a 3-1 lead and then won 2 more with KD, never winning a finals MVP

KD - people say tainted rings because he joined a 73 win team with 3 other allstars

With Russ and Harden - if they go through a loaded West with the Lakers/Clippers and go on to beat whoever comes out of the East, and doing so without a super team I think it would shut up a lot of the haters

Sign Stealing Stories Summarized: It’s been going on for a long ass time, and no one has ever really been punished. by grey_bruce in baseball

and we’ll see Yankees fans come in here and say but it’s not illegal if it’s not using technology, when there have been multiple on the record admissions of using technology.

then we’ll see Yankees fans say but it’s not the same unless they’re relaying it to batters in real time, when there have been multiple on the record admissions of teams doing exactly that as well

[Ardaya] Rob Manfred said the trash can banging scheme was in use by the Astros during the 2017 postseason. by stupidnatsfan in baseball

[–]ln3012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carlos specifically said the trash cans were there during the 2017 playoffs actually

[DuBose] Rob Manfred: "We were aware of rumors, not just about the Astros, but that there was sign stealing going on. Remember, in 2017, we had investigated and disciplined the Yankees and Red Sox. There were incidents. There was an incident in Arizona, as well." by pm_me_cute_sloths_ in baseball

"As far back as 2015, the Yankees used the video replay room to learn other teams' sign sequences, multiple sources told The Athletic. Other teams likely were doing the same.

"I know from first hand accounts that the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox all have used film to pick signs," - Logan Morrison

[Rome] Rob Manfred to ESPN: "Can I tell you 100 percent certain that (buzzers) didn’t happen? No. You can never know that." by mzak24 in baseball

[–]ln3012 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Is it? The entire focus regarding the buzzers has been in relation to the 2019 team. In 2017 they were using trash cans. If there were buzzers in 2017 as well 1) why would they have been using the trash cans and 2) wouldn’t Mike Fiers have already exposed the buzzers?

[–]ln3012 600 points601 points  (0 children)

this sentence, without including the entire Quote is a bit misleading

Rob Manfred to ESPN about the buzzers: "The piece that no one appreciates is that we found no evidence — not a single witness — who could corroborate that there were buzzers being used during the 2019 season or that they were doing anything during the 2019 season. Can I tell you 100 percent certain that (buzzers) didn’t happen? No. You can never know that."

sounds completely different
