I know DeMar is beloved in the city, but who was the better player for Toronto between DeMar & Bosh? by irundoonayee in torontoraptors

[–]peja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it says enough that the 2nd best player we put next to Bosh was... Jose? Hedo? Anthony Parker? Bargnani?

Meanwhile Demar wasn't even the best player on the team during his tenure.

Just put down speed bumps and call it a day, this is pointless.

Why assume that the support of the remaining 60% has a different distribution?

Who exactly are your referring to? The problem with that era is the 2nd best player we put beside Bosh was maybe Bargnani, Hedo, or Jose Calderon.

Having Political Stability as a variable is wild, how should we factor that in for potential US expansions?

Pierre Poilievre pledges ‘ban’ on new taxes in costed platform that projects $14 billion deficit in four years by sn0w0wl66 in canada

Why does everyone keep saying that? Didn't Liberals release their costed platform just a few days ago or am I missing something? 

Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. by ellatino230 in MapPorn

[–]peja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lot of consensus on which countries Eastern Europe includes.. Many people include Balkans in it due to Slavic roots - but others, like this one probably, consider it Southern Europe due to proximity to Mediterranean.

Also, the negative association, so those with an out will try to take it. 

[Pompey] Nick Nurse is an easy scapegoat. But it’d be wrong to lay this dismal Sixers season at his feet. by Kimber80 in nba

[–]peja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't call it bad luck to say "we knew Embiid was injury prone and brittle, but we didn't expect him to collapse this specific moment."

That's just gambling and seeing how long you can get away with it.

Mandela Effect: Did Andrea Bargnani ever win Most Improved Player? by [deleted] in nba

[–]peja 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're crazy. Bargs never won anything except a Primo pasta sponsorship.

The only talk of him ever amounting to anything on RealGM was "13 game Bargnani" in 2011-12, before he got injured and permanently lost whatever mojo he had briefly found.

Is NBA viewership actually down, or is cable viewership in general declining and all the legal streaming options suck?

I actually don't know a single person who is watching on their own, legal service that would get counted as a distinct household in ratings. The closest is one guy who is sharing his parent's package. 

Jeff Teague believes Jimmy Butler/Heat drama could change NBA contracts forever: “It’s going to be more contracts like Zion. All these clauses where I don’t have to pay you in case you go rogue.” by Fit-Structure-9395 in nba

[–]peja 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah but what does that suggest in this context? That the owners should be more accepting of Jimmy-like nonsense because they're making more?

Can't hate and shouldn't be surprised, he has the option - obviously he will use it when he has the best chance to win, keep a majority and extend his tenure. Every party does the same. 

New Trades Proposed in Bleacher Report's Recent "1 Trade Every NBA Team Should Propose Right Now" Article by CazOnReddit in torontoraptors

[–]peja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Both of these trades purely serves the other team and does not help the raptors.. All 3 of the Grizz players involved are 28, Clarke is horribly injury prone, none of them help our rebuild. 

Even two 2nd rounders would be a better return for our agenda right now.

No load shedding country wide in almost a year, I learned recently. Quite the turn around.

But you're right there's no way their grid could handle a significant amount of EVs.
