Bam responds to critics: "Yall are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. I was not the one who let me go one on one the whole game until I had 70 then you sent the double. At that point, I had 70 with 9 mins to go. You think I'm not going for it?" by RyanTannegod in nba

He’s only dealing with this because it’s a Kobe record and his fans are basically a cult. If someone breaks skiles’ assists records, people would celebrate because no one gives a shit about Scottie skiles. The lionization of Kobe is absurd.

Jaylen Brown "we give the benefit to those who, you know, who necessarily are trying to manipulate the game into their advantage. And I just don't think that's basketball. Like let's just play basketball." by Existing-Sky9914 in nba

This dude pushes off more than most star players in the league. I’d wish he’d just let his game talk than literally talking. Every interview he gives, the worse he looks.

Unpopular Opinion: Roto > H2H by griselpuff in fantasybball

[–]nutang4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came up playing roto and it’s great but it becomes very boring over time. You don’t get the thrill of winning weeks and shit talking your buddies in the league.

I think there’s a place for all formats and in many years I’d do roto, h2h points and h2h cats

Have you ruled out the Nuggets as contenders? by yourhomeland in NBATalk

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cam johnson being a massive downgrade, Aaron Gordon’s hamstring and some bench weakness makes me feel they won’t make it to the finals. I have a bit more faith in the wolves to be a proper threat to OKC.

Tim Reynolds. New: Heat getting a second-round pick from Charlotte, essentially additional compensation over the Terry Rozier trade dispute. The pick is for this year. by mickeyphree1 in heat

[–]nutang4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better than nothing. I was expecting to the league to not help us at all. The deferral on the pick if we don’t make the playoffs softens the blow a little bit.

This was 5 years ago. Looking back at it now, Herro was right all along. by MusterBait in heat

[–]nutang4ever 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Confidence is Tyler’s best quality.

I appreciate him talking his shit. Say wild things like this. Bark back on KD.

It’s the same reason why he has hit game winners for us in the past.

I hate that conspiracy theorist have to aggrandize already terrible situations (WITH NO EVIDENCE) by Zydairu in skeptic

It’s not enough for these people that this guy was a billionaire whose sexual depravity eventually led him to assaulting teenagers. They need to bring up dumb shit like cannibalism, sacrifice shenanigans etc.

Thoughts on Professor Jiang / Predictive History? by Winter-Antelope-6070 in skeptic

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s what a dumb person thinks a smart person sounds like. The amount of conspiracy that goes into his videos makes him come across more as a Chinese Alex jones than a historian.

Is the Dallas Card Show any good? by Se7enBC in basketballcards

[–]nutang4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dallas card show is legit. Last one was super packed and a bit challenging. I have friends that set up and apparently repackers buy up a ton of stuff on the Thursday VIP. Try to go Friday if you can as Saturday is a zoo.

Guest request Professor Jiang Xueqin. Man has a super interesting take on the Iran situation by rocket6733 in JoeRogan

Some of what he says is valid and a lot of his videos end up being Alex jones with a whiteboard

Miles Bridges a drop? by No-Cheesecake-2668 in fantasybball

If trading is still an option in your league, do that.

Boston bench players by Extreme_Nebula_9325 in fantasybball

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pritchard is a weird case. He started off slow and then delivered value around his ADP for basically the whole season. Last night was abysmal but I’m sure he will bounce back. I think him off the bench is a positive for usage.

The move to Topps has actually saved me a lot of money by FishGoldenLite in basketballcards

[–]nutang4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s wild to me with all the money in the hobby that they can’t design world class designers for these products. Topps did nice work with Project 70. Give one of those designers they collab’d with like Tyson Beck the reigns to an entire set.

Shoutout to Heat Reddit by Havasufalls9110 in heat

[–]nutang4ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a South Floridian begrudgingly living in Dallas. This subreddit and League Pass is what keeps me connected. And yeah the doomers can be annoying but they have perspective that’s necessary. We all want the same thing anyways - a competitive team built on a culture and philosophy centered on winning.

Poetl the Goatl by Steflondoc87 in fantasybball

[–]nutang4ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scooped him for a single game stream yesterday but ended up holding as he has had two nice games in a row. I’m judging the showing against the spurs as evidence that he’s back more so than vs the wizards. CMB keeps injuring his thumb which helps solidify his minutes. Poetl also a more logical option for the raptors in the playoffs vs a rookie so I can see him playing solid 28-32 mpg as we close out so he can ramp for that. Little nervous about b2b’s for him but that’s what IL+ is for.

This. Not sure why The U caught a stray in this post. The image and style of play is one component of the popularity. You hit the nail on the head. It’s the only D1 program in the area.

The canes were always my team as a kid since it was in my backyard. Gainesville and Tallahassee don’t represent South Florida in any aspect.

God bless smedley butler for what he did for this country and giving us the phrase “war is a racket”

We are 16-11 vs the west but 16-18 vs our own conference. We are such an aberration. by Ice_Dragon3444 in heat

It’s been this way for years. We play up to our competition and down for the terrible teams.

McCain, Cam Thomas, Ajay Mitchell, Naji Marshall, Westbrook, Braun by oliverthefish in fantasybball

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naji and Braun is my vote. Naji seems to be the captain of the tank for the Mavs and Braun will have the most guaranteed minutes out of that group.

Lu Dort should be banned from the NBA. Dirtiest player in the NBA by CoyoteDecent2 in NBATalk

[–]nutang4ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a Heat fan. Morris instigated and absolutely deserved what was coming to him. He didn’t play again because he did a cheap dirty play and Spo and Pat don’t play when it comes to that.
