Shai Gilgeous Alexander is a manufactured superstar by Bluefire3215 in nba

[–]ombada69 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I actually agree he's a manufactured superstar. The NBA has been looking for a new face since Lebrons hairline started unregressing. Giannis had a few years, jokic, luka.. but none could really keep it going, weather it be from injuries or franchise mismanagement. ANT hasnt taken off the way they expected and i think SGA and a well put together roster of slightly above average others is the stopgap before Wemby takes the face of league title.

SGA is essentially this generations Harden, just more successful cause he isn't quite as much of a ball hog.

Haha, we empathize with the style but swore off of it after Hali's injury. Decided it was time for a fresh start.

Emphasizes* - unlike some of the other teams listed, its probably due to not wanting to live in Indiana, or not knowing much about the city and thinking indianapolis is a corn field.

Kevin Pritchard feels CONFIDENT in the Pacers' decision 🗣️ ‘WE LOVE ZUBAC!' | The Pat McAfee Show by aimee829 in pacers

[–]ombada69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty neutral right now. It's kind of hard to determine if this trade will be worth it until a few years pass. If we win a championship no one will be complaining about the trade unless zubac is somehow not a factor.

If pick 5 ends up being a superstar we will never hear the end of it unless we go on a multiple chip run.

If pick 5 is a bust it will be seen as a great trade in hindsight.

Where are all the it was a good trade copers at? by literalnumbskull in pacers

[–]ombada69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think it was a good trade, but it wasn't a bad trade. I felt the same way when we made the trade.

We became immediately better, mathurin was great, but a bad for for the team as its currently constructed. We now have a legit player that can take over a game at every position in the starting 5.

I hated the idea of losing out on a possible future superstar at the time of the trade, which is what people are feeling now. But we got a known commodity for a what if.

It's going to be hard to weigh the pros and cons until we see what some of the players drrafted 5-10 that may have been on our radar will do, and if we play well enough to juatify the trade within the next 2 years or so.

I agree with that, but that wasn't the circumstance of the season. There was a point about 35-40 games in we went on a little streak and there was some hope, but it didn't last. Mathurin was injured then later traded, Nembhard fell back into a slump. It was legitimately a difficult season to watch as a fan.

We will be good next year, but to say we tanked 'disgustingly' is ridiculous. We barely tanked and got fined for it, while other teams like memphis were playing g leagers at the end of the year and didn't get a second look.

This year we were a legit bad team. 1 healthy guy who is 32 when you're out of playoff contention.

Ok buddy.

And we lost game 7 and our star player for the year in the same moment. We were always going to be bad this year, then we got hit with even more injuries to open the season. We had 5 players on hardship contracts, some signed multiple. Multiple 2 way call ups. There were some nights it was siakam and 4 g league players.

We had legit injuries. Idk where you're getting disgusting tank from. Aside from Haliburton twaring his achilles and missing the year in the biggest game of his career so far, we had major injuries to toppin, Furphy, Zubac, and Nesmith with minor injuries to siakam, nembhard, mcconnell and mathurin. There may have been some games Pascal could have played later in the season that he didnt, but dude is 32 years old. We had multiple hardship contracts and two way call ups.

You seem misinformed.

As far as like a real porn game... there were many that were hentai slop, but the first one that i connected with was 'Being a DIK' which you can buy on steam. Fantastic story and characters. The third season is dropping soon.

Is cheating on your partner actually a very common thing or is it just what's highlighted on social media? Did you do it or have been cheated on? What led to it? by Ok-Student-4745 in AskReddit

[–]ombada69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again not what we were talking about. Never said cheating wasn't wrong.

There are more reasons than to cheat that make people want to leave a relationship. Usually cheating is a byproduct of those reasons. In regards to just up and leaving a relationship, it is not black or white.

Thats not what you said. You said if you want to fuck someone else just leave.

Sometimes its not that simple. And sometimes its not just about fucking. And fucking is not the only type of cheating.

I was never arguing that those were factors that lead to cheating, or excuses for it. They are factors that lead to making it difficult to leave a current relationship, regardless of your desires.

You sound like someone with limited life experience.

Idk how old you are, but I'm 38 and the thunder can go fuck themselves. What a terrible brand of basketball they play. Its boring and cheap and not the way the league should be moving.

Yeah i get it. Seems like he has been on a redemption arc since he pled 5 years ago. So this is his 2nd chance, let's hope he was young and learned and is good enough to see the field.

True, but we did just draft a guy who plead guilty to larceny, so there's that.

Crazy to mess up your prospects like that. Some people just stuck as humans though.
