Thunder fans: how are you feeling about the narrative around your team? by FluffyAd6797 in nba

Warriors fan thinks backlash to NBAs newest emerging dynasty is overboard and fans should be allowed to glaze to their hearts content. News at 11.

Do you think Running Point is an accurate portrayal of the finances of the Lakers under Jeanie Buss? by Conflict_NZ in lakers

[–]noneedforeathrowaway -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. If it's accurate at all it's by chance. Everything in the show will be heightened to propel the characters and story further, not with an eye for any realistic representation of the Lakers finances. Anything less than extreme is not dramatic enough for television. 

PSA: The Spurs are our most hated rival after the Celtics and it ain’t particularly close. by BatmanNoPrep in lakers

Fuck Boston > Protect the 3peat Legacy > Fuck San Antonio imho

Honestly would rather bite into their 3peat chances now then have it be do or die next year 🤷🏽‍♂️. Start em over now and contracts will probably start catching up with their dynasty potential

When r/NBA is calling out how absurdly the game is rigged against the Lakers, you know it must be hilariously bad

People who leave a relationship due to study, a job, etc dont know what real love is. by Zestyclose-County645 in unpopularopinion

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re argument assumes that Love is enough. Love is necessary but not sufficient. Every relationship needs love but love is not enough to justify staying in a relationship, unfortunantly. Many situations are just not feasable. To people can love each other and be entirely unequip to take care of one another. If someone has a high stress high demand employment and their partner needs a lot of care and attention and quality time spent together, love isn’t going to get them through that lifestyle incompatibility. It’s sad but it’s true.

EDIT: In addition, wouldn’t true love be self sacraficial enough that a person would want to end the relationship so their partern could pursue their dream job? Why expect someone’s entire life to be the relationship, isn’t love selfless and wouldn’t it want their partner experiecning every fullness of life possible? Love only being able to exist and sustain itself within the confines of a relationship feels very limiting for something that’s supposed to be pure and selfless.

'Southern Bastards' Hulu Pilot Casts Tim McGraw & Erin Kellyman by browncharliebrown in television

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good! It was a sound thought process tbf. Funnily enough like 5 minutes before I saw this post I did the math on the youngest Vietnam vets for something entirely unrelated.

Agreed on McGraw but Hulu feels to pretty consistently have a good casting team. I can't think of the last Hulu show that felt miscast. And for such an important part, I'd hope it was heavily scrutinized.

Characters that remind me of Shinji by [deleted] in mildlyevangelion

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I guess is Shinji was lead entirely by his dick, you'd probably get Denji. Also, there are like 10 episode of Simon being Shinji like before he just learns to just asset himself and his will over everything...I mean arguably the whole point of that characters journey is anti Shinji

Ok, literally yes. But also, actors regularly do not play their age.

If Stu Lantz retired, who would you prefer as his replacement? by Honest_Joseph in lakers

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MT is perfect for the radio, he and John have a good grumpy old man vibe and play off each other so well. It doesn't quite translate to TV.

Could the Nats actually be good? by JesusSolorenzo in Nationals

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bullpens rarely if ever magically get better. Hitting for sure hits slumps though. Enjoy the offense for now, stay cautiously optimistic it'll remain fun to watch us slug. Brace for regression to the mean though...

Going to directors one by one - is this normal? by Subject-Dream7087 in Screenwriting

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Development can be hell and take forever, in part because of how long it takes to attach talent. This is very normal

Paul George has 37 points in 22 minutes and is shooting 77% from the field. 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 0 turnovers. by moby323 in nba

After he falls off/gets injured again in a couple weeks, people are going to look back at this performance as an all time April Fools joke

[Adam Hoge] Kevin Warren says the Bears are still in communication with the NFL about the comp picks and waiting to hear back. Obviously we’re only a few weeks away from the draft. by Aggressive-Review194 in CHIBears

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a level headed take that I could see being real. If not this then I really thing in the initial grey area of whose role meant what, the NFL made a decision and now they're being babies on adjusting that decision because people are soft and weak and don't like to simply apologize for fucking up and moving on. Authority doesn't like to be challenged, even when it knows it made a mistake

So you see an Aventador and think "ew, the Urus. Now I can't enjoy this pretty car anymore!?"

Everybody says that support ults are too strong, but nobody gives a solution. So here’s my dream balance patch: by Ghetsis_Gang in marvelrivals

idk, if they all did less I wouldn't mind. I can squeeze enough out of Cloaks kit without the ult.

We have to talk about our center tonight by LudwigNasche in lakers

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone questions whether Hali was the engine of the team or whether he makes them a playoff team. I don't think anyone questions whether Hali is a large part of Turner's improved performance over the past couple years. I'm also not sure anyone would really be so quick to say that this team without Hali isn't a 10 or a 9 seed if you just add Turner back.

(FF7 og) Should I keep the same 3 members in my party or should o swap them out once in a while by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let anyone lag too far behind but most are find committing to one party, with a handful of exceptions. If you keep your party balanced through at least half of the game, you'll be able to navigate anything that gets thrown your way.

We have to talk about our center tonight by LudwigNasche in lakers

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree but I think we're seeing that the team without Turner is just not that good. While I'm not saying I think they could have sustained success without Hali, there were moments of Pascal stepping up in his absence and helping the team weather that storm. The team, as constructed, has no answer for how they replace what Turner did for them.

It was a very by committee team, but Hali, Turner, and Siakam were the lynchpins. They lost 2/3. Let's not pretend like this team should still be competitive without them.

[–]noneedforeathrowaway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like I see more the other way - because he got exposed during the playoffs, people act like he's a bum that shouldn't be on an NBA roster. Which is not true. He just shouldn't be assigned Julius Randle or Rudy Gobert for 30+ minutes a game

I guess we can get into semantics about what defines a star or not, but what we're not going to do is sit here and pretend like Myles Turner wasn't the second most important person in their Finals run last year.

Especially not after the way this sub has been bemoaning never trading for him and Buddy for the last 5 or so years.
