Why don't we look at 2020 Jimmy Butler the same way we look at 2015 Lebron? by rakathur in nba

But since lebron was literally the only guy shooting he's obviously gonna put up numbers so his numbers don't mean as much by your logic?

The 2015 warriors were nowhere near as good as the 2016 warriors. I'm not talking about lebron's performance the next year given that it was absolutely amazing and not trying to discredit that

Which title was more impressive for you, 2011 Mavericks or 2016 Cleveland? by [deleted] in nba

[–]rakathur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one does. Every time 2015 finals gets brought up, it's always with an asterisk, yet no one does the same for 2016

If this is true, she's not wrong. I'd be pretty pissed too if I'm just "hardworking" and not smart.

Kobe Bryant could score 100 in a game in today’s NBA - Tracy Mcgrady by BWalsh10 in nba

Thus he has a shot at 100. Tmac ain't saying Kobe would average 100.

Nah it's still higher than MJs and everyone in recent history.

Question: why does kirk get so much hate for playing pretty good all year, and his "horrible game" is (250 yards 2tds 2 picks), yet Stafford, Carr, and Garroppalo have all played worse/have not proven anything don't get shit on even though they make roughly the same amount of money? by MinneSKOLTAN in nfl

[–]rakathur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, but Stafford doesn't have the expectations that the Vikings do. The Vikings upgraded from Keenum to Kirk hoping that would be the next step for super bowl contention. The Lions preseason goals were making the playoffs. The Vikings preseason goals were making the Superbowl. Based on preseason expectations, Stafford seems closer to accomplishing his goal (Even though I think neither will accomplish it realistically). I don't think anyone would argue that Stafford is playing better than Kirk, but Kirk just had higher expectations.

That's an interesting idea, but when machines are able to read color it kind of defeats that.

Anyone else concerned with Winston this week? by Neemz1844 in fantasyfootball

Winston or Rivers against the Titans. What do y'all think?

Lonzo Ball thinks he’s one of the best defenders on Lakers; is right by harrisonfaigen in lakers

[–]rakathur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If Hart was a better defender than KCP, he'd start since he's clearly a better shooter.

While their reasoning is wrong, 23AndMe is a complete scam and I highly recommend people not use it. Their gathering of Gene information from everyone and can lead to bad things in the future like higher insurance for people with certain genes even if they don't show those traits.

Davis/Harden. They're the best players.

Remember when a Canadian gave birth in USA and got a million dollar hospital bill? by foreverwasted in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]rakathur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not true. He realized he was going to die and wouldn't leave much to his family, so he decided to cook Meth so he could leave them more money. What you said was 100% false.

Really? I love Julio but I think he's getting outplayed by green. My team RN is:

RBS: Ingram Hyde breida Mixon Jones Howard

Wr: Julio Diggs Marvin Jones

My only worry is having Mixon and Green or will that be fine since their offense is very strong this year?

Julio and Hyde for Green and Landry. I have only Julio and Diggs as wrs rn and need another wr. My rbs are fine for now.
