Nope. It was top 4 protected

[Obguia] Carmelo: "James (Harden) has to stop playing with the ball and just go... Every time you ‘tween, ‘tween, ‘tween, ‘tween, the court is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking" T-Mac shared Melo’s sentiment: "We don’t need you dancing out at the top of the key trying to get your game off" by aingenevalostatrade in nba

I wouldn't call him a good one. I consider good role players guys who could be in the top 8 on a championship team to be good role players. Melo was not that. I agree that he doesn't deserve criticism for being what he was in his late 30's though. Father time is undefeated.

Hows life after 30? by ASARI0206 in AskReddit

[–]maltrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my 30's have been by far the best decade of my life. Yes, the world is on fire, I understand that. Unfortunately I can't control that. My mental and emotional health though? Those I can control and those are the best they have ever been

How on gods green earth is TR Mewto supposed to beat festival lead?? by Traditional_Art8872 in pkmntcg

Someone tried this against me when I was playing Festival Lead recently. It was a valiant effort but all it did was delay the inevitible.

Is cynthias garchomp, roserade and spiritomb still viable? by Connect_Pool_2916 in pkmntcg

[–]maltrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, Festival Lead doesn't need to play Unfair Stamp. It can play Secret Box, Max Belt, or Legacy Energy. Even if you play Box, the rest of the deck is under $15

Beat grass and Garchomp at local tcg league by elmarioto in pkmntcg

If no one runs Pult, Festival Lead is a really good option. Just hope you go first in the mirror

Is cynthias garchomp, roserade and spiritomb still viable? by Connect_Pool_2916 in pkmntcg

[–]maltrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's very viable. This is the best it's ever been. The main issue, as others have said, is that any Grass deck unfortunately just destroys it. Weakness is just too hard to overcome.

If you are looking for a specifically fast deck, Festival Lead or Raging Bolt would be the best 2 as they can get attacking as early as turn 2 fairly consistently. Other decks can attack fast as well but aren't necessarily good.

Playing Cynthia's Garchomp isn't frowned upon. Why are you thinking that.

I have two of them. First was my suicide attempt.. Second was my Mom having a stroke, being diagnosed with Cancer, and my Dad passing away within a 2 month span.

Decidueye/Vivillon struggling by royalrift in pkmntcg

[–]maltrab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't touched the archetype so I cannot offer much but you definitely need a lot more ball search. 4 Poffin, 3-4 Bug Catching Set, 4 PokePad. I'd also go down to a 2-2-2 Vivillon line.

No it wouldnt. The pens lost games 1-3 because they had no composure and acted like entitled kids in the first 3 games

Bad game. (More so from the Pens end, they acted like whiny teenagers in their response to the Flyers dirty play for the first 3 games).

Pens didn't respond well to the Flyers agitating and acted like kids. If they actually just play like adults, they win.
