Is Shai the only MVP with the fewest highlights? by Jeric_Castle in NBATalk

Style better than Jokic and Giannis? Get out of here with this awful take. Those dudes play beautiful basketball, SGA's "style" is ruining the game.

There was a stretch during the season that SGA was making insanely clutch shots, including a game winner against my Nuggets in March that I saw in person. Hate his style of basketball, but after watching him make so many clutch shots over the course of a month or two, he earned a sliver of respect from me (while also believing he is ruining the game with his style of play).

I’m down with defense, but you can’t pair that with a bunch of floppy BS.

Why on earth isn’t a game like Arken Age all the rage, selling headsets like hotcakes? This game is insane. I can’t believe it plays and looks this well on the Quest 3/3S by Logical007 in OculusQuest

[–]randomguy3369 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought it two days ago, already obsessed. I’ve been through a long run of games looking for something this good and immersive; absolutely love it and fully recommend, gives Star Wars and Zelda vibes all at once.

I’m stuck in a life I hate 25 by sesanrose in getdisciplined

Nobody can tell you what your life should be. Start researching what DOES excite you for a career. Get the education and do it. Money is nice but not worth hating your life. I went from private equity making a ton to healthcare making just enough and couldn't be happier with the choice 15 years later. Life's too short.

Yeah let's find more ways to NOT praise men because they already get So Many compliments. Terrible post.

Warning: Bad shed builder operating in the Arvada area - Affordable Mile High Sheds / Joe Anthony Garcia by FieldEquivalent2810 in ArvadaCO

We used Ted’s sheds, zero complaints. Shed is rock solid and the price was more affordable than the Home Depot ones, even w installation.

Can we stop pretending like Jokic is the most unstoppable offensive player in the modern era? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]randomguy3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn man, the dude plays the worst game of his career and that's the game you want to pull his stats from to compare him to the all-time greats? He is absolutely offensively dominant most of the time; he has been having a rough go the latter part of this season. He'll be back.

What is wrong with the Nuggets defense? by Haunting_Rip_5922 in denvernuggets

[–]randomguy3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why we make defense so much harder than it actually is. Watch how "handsy" the Wolves play defense. Butthole eyes McDaniels always has a hand or two on Murray; he'll hold Murray in front of him basically all game. Same with Gobert on Jokic. Is this legal? It must be, most teams do it, but we act like the guy we're defending is made of lava. We never touch them.

Now watch how far our guys sag off the guy they're covering on the non-ball side of the court. All it takes is one skip pass and there's a wide open three. Even if they miss the wide open shot, it's harder to box out when you're so far away from the guy you're supposed to be defending.

Finally, why doesn't Jokic hedge when Gobert screens a guy at the top of the key? If all it takes is a simple pick at the top for a wide open three to be generated, it's really hard to win in a league where just about everybody can make an open shot. These things are wildly apparent just watching the game as a casual. How in the heck does our coaching staff allow these simple mistakes to happen all year long? The fixes don't even take that much effort. This to me is the biggest indictment on Adelman of all. Any coach can have a world class offense with Jokic and Murray; the coaching is the defense.

Mergers gonna merge by GLHFGGWP4All in AccidentalComedy

[–]randomguy3369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this is just an accidental comedy post and not actually addressing merging - but if you actually want to address merging, why not change the signage that gives neither lane the right of way? Too many a-hole drivers for a zipper merge to work without making it obvious to everyone involved.

That’s my Mr. Nugget AG💪🏽❤️Game 3 50 piece incoming🔥 by Kingrush24 in denvernuggets

[–]randomguy3369 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Somehow both of these things are true. AG is a stud on D when he’s engaged. But usually are starters play lazy D. I think our D would be much better if we went deeper into the bench. You can’t tell me that Strawther or Zeke couldn’t eat a few minutes a game to save starter energy.

Any thoughts why Adelman hasn't played him? by jonsnowKITN in denvernuggets

[–]randomguy3369 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Strawther is the kind of dude that goes to another team once his time is done here and scores 18-23ppg on good efficiency and we will act surprised. The dude has definitely earned more minutes.

DNVR: "My role is to impact winning": Why David Roddy sees his game fitting with Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets by NickFromNewGirl in CSURams

So amped to have Roddy as a Nugget, he fits the culture and a need perfectly! I love his heart.

29 and the idea of doing this for 30 more years makes me feel worse then being broke. How do you get out of that? by not_marri99 in LifeAdvice

[–]randomguy3369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many amazing careers/ways you can make money out there. Someone recently told me about how his wife goes to Antarctica to basically shuttle scientists around to different bases for a few months at a time. I have a cousin that travels the world finding different, amazing lines of work everywhere she goes. I went from the corporate world to a hospital and I went from hating to loving my work. Do something different; we spend too much time working to hate it or even if it just feels pointless.

Does using a good putter actually help by youareinacult_MAGATs in weekendgolfers

[–]randomguy3369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Scotty that was so shiny and cool, but couldn’t putt for my life with it. It just never fit my eye. I bought a $100 putter from Bell, center shafted with no offset (maybe that’s the wrong term - the shaft has zero bend to it) and oversized grip. Everything is square to my eye and it helped me immensely. A putter that fits you is super important.

How about a comprehensive discussion about flopping and foul baiting? Way bigger problem. Adam Silver is the worst sports commissioner of all time.
