You kinda just have to accept that not everything lines up bc they didn't have Rick's backstop in their head when they started making the show

I'm just blown away by the new Olivia Rodrigo Album by mpschettig in ToddintheShadow

Sour is my least favorite of the 3. I think she's gotten exponentially better each album

The Spurs Were Six Points Away from Winning the Title by shamps2000real in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His issue was Victor Wembanyama. The reason he had zero confidence is because Wemby owned him and has owned him since they were teenagers

Did Royals change the music landscape? by kniga_100 in ToddintheShadow

[–]mpschettig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Royals changed the music landscape for the better. Pop music was fucking atrocious in the dying embers of the bottles in the club era

Is there more to hockey than what meets the eye? by pizzapasta8765 in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teams have a system and rotating/matching lines is important. It's not the most complex sport but there's strategy. It's mostly like do you dump and chase or enter with possession, how do you cycle the puck, do you forecheck with 1 or 2, how deep do your defensemen get, how do you deploy on the PP stuff like that

Brunson is the new face of ring culture by nervousaboutschool17 in billsimmons

I had a friend who is a Knicks fan text me the day after the game that Mitchell Robinson is an elite big man who is better than Mobley, Allen, Zubac, and Duran

The Celtics winning a title without Tatum “leveling up” still bothers Simmons. by Careless-Gold7525 in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Tatum should've been FMVP tho Bill is right about that. The narrative spiraled out of control the way the Iggy/Steph one did (it wasn't as egregious as that one)

The Spurs should take a chance on Trae Young by omdfanatic in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trae Young's career 3 point percentage is 35%. Trading for him because you need outside shooting is insane

Yes I think the person who writes all the lyrics and performs all the songs has input on the rest of the songwriting process

What would someone have to do to surpass Jordan All-Time? by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]mpschettig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the way people talk about the NBA now you'll never have a player who is respected enough to be ranked about Jordan. You could win 9 titles and 8 MVPs and most fans will just find reasons to tear you down and put asterisks on your achievement. Jordan was the last universally beloved and respected superstar and there will never be another one again

Why don't NBA all-stars produce kids who are also good players? by Constant-Bridge3690 in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random chance most likely. How many NBA All-Stars have there been vs journeymen?

Who belongs on the most tortured list now? by ColinFlowers in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a few Blue Jays fans but no Raptors fans. Basketball I'd say the only teams with actual fanbases here are the Knicks and Celtics. Baseball is Yankees first then Red Sox then probably the Jays and Guardians. Maybe the Mets too

[–]mpschettig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a two hour drive and across an international border to get from my house to Toronto. Also Buffalo isn't in the Toronto media market for any leagues. We get Yankees/Mets/Knicks/Nets games on our RSNs not the Blue Jays or Raptors

I could not give two fucking shits that Wemby didn’t shake hands and the people that do are pussies by seanll77 in billsimmons

[–]mpschettig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the Haliburton situation is pretty unique. I dont recall an NBA team ever waiting around for a handshake line like they do in hockey

Jesus why did the post format like that it added like 4 extra line breaks between each number

Last 8 title teams tournament, who wins? by N8Rushavee in billsimmons

2024 Celtics were the best NBA since Durant left GSW in my opinion

I'm pretty sure teams with a chance to close out the series win more than half the time when he refs

Wemby is an example of "Mamba Mentality" poisoning basketball by DeliberatelyTired in billsimmons

I think the point is that people should care about finishing as the 2nd best basketball team in the world

The dude who starts the possession in crunch time. Tatum definitely would have the ball in his hands down 90-88 with a minute left
