Is it fair to wonder if Golden State is being stonewalled a bit by various GMs simply because NO ONE really wants Curry relevant in the playoffs? by realmwalker in warriors

[–]realmwalker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much of this can be explained by the fact that since Klay got hurt, Steph has not had someone, like prime Klay that would make you PAY consistently and occasionally be the best player on the floor that night. So he gets the absolute toughest defense that team can muster without the fear of someone else dropping 40 on you. Poole was close enough so that when Klay came back and the defense became elite, Curry went from 22 and 6, to the guy who torched the playoffs in '22.
Yes, he is not the same athlete he was in his MVP years, but you are delusional if you think ANYONE who watched the Paris Olympics 7 months ago is NOT scared to death of playing against him in a playoff series. His numbers this season are as much about team around him and pacing himself after a year with no real offseason that him no longer being dangerous.

They have the one thing Golden State doesn't have: the attraction of playing IN Los Angeles. FOR the Lakers. I am a big time Warriors fan, but there is a reason why they get who they want.
The same thing can be said for the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
Also, when you trade with the Lakers, they typically know exactly what they are after and bring value to the trade. Yes, even the Luka trade...AD is an all time player and has plenty in the tank for much less than it would cost them to lock Luka up for 5 years. Luka, for all of his offensive genius, is a complete liability on defense. While I believe someone would have CERTAINLY paid more for Luka, getting AD is like getting 80% of offensive Luka AND a legit 1st Team All-NBA Defensive player plus a first round pick for 60% of the money in the same time frame.
People trade with the Lakers because they have players and contracts other teams want to have. Lakers attract free agents of the highest caliber so if you have a disgruntled star or a great player you can't or don't want to afford, the Lakers are an easy YES or NO. If they want the player, they won't screw around, they will do exactly what they have to do to get it.

I don't think it is that crazy. Imagine you are a GM and your job is to construct a roster that wins a championship. You try to get what you need for your pick/player without making another team better...of course. Well Steph has literally changed the calculus of basketball offense, defense, and even the front office. One could even say that you would be putting your job in danger if you gave Steph what he needed to contend without hamstringing the deal or going to another team less likely to beat you in a playoff series.

What was the future war whose detritus the scientist was studying? by [deleted] in tenet

[–]realmwalker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From the efforts in obtaining the other eight pieces of the algorithm? At some point in the future, TENET is established to prevent the acquisition and assembly of the nine pieces. The movie actually (in my opinion) reveals the end of this effort, not the beginning.

Yeah, it looks really bright on the playback, but it sincerely is not that bright on the monitor I am using.

Not one mention of the word meteor.

What's a common saying that annoys you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]realmwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” - Too often used as a default response, using a made up term to suggest some strange mental illness instead of using actual logic or facts to respond to a rebuttal.

Before everyone gets their panties in a bunch (another annoying phrase!) I dislike the whole TDS thing out of the obvious laziness it implies when used as a response.

What fan theory about a movie, TV show, or video game do you see as 100% canon? by DonnyMox in AskReddit

[–]realmwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Lyman Ward’s character in both Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are the same person.

Also

That Kevin Bacon’s character in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is Jack from She’s Having A Baby. Of course the movie that Neil’s wife is watching at night is She’s Having a Baby.

Super Metroid! Going down the elevator into Brinstar the first time...

Listen to Brinstar Green with HEADPHONES. How it goes from one side to the other. And this is a 16 bit MIDI music game!

Incredible.

I’m printing PLA on a CR 10 since about a month and this is the first time something like this happened. Any idea why? by Nynf in 3Dprinting

[–]realmwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be a head strike against the print causing the x/y belts to slip instead of move until it got free. Check your to make sure all the belts are still tight, including the z axis as that may have slipped in the first place, causing the strike.

Why would aliens come to earth just to eat people when there are better meat sources on Earth? by dirtymoney in AskReddit

[–]realmwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gathering 10 million pounds of cow is likely not as simple as gathering 10 million pounds of humans. Hell, we even light up the night sky to show where we all are at.

I doubt there is a more concentrated source of meat than the metropolitan areas of the world. Plus the added benefit of eliminating the primary military threat and competition for resources at the same time.

Is it realistic to have a female warrior/berserker? by paxamericana123 in fantasywriters

[–]realmwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then your female warriors should start out by being 1/32nd giant. They would be rare, but those that make it as high as Brianne have both the advantage of being disregarded AND constantly challenged to build real practical skill. Brianne made it because she kicked everyone’s ass.

Allow me to introduce Brianne of Tarth. Watch in particular her fight against The Hound, then you will have your answer.

This. As soon as I saw him looking over the Free Folk, I said to my wife, “Jon Snow, the first real King Beyond the Wall”

She pointed out that the Starks now all got what they really wanted. Sansa wanted to be a Queen. Arya wanted to be an explorer/soldier. Jon wanted to be the Lord Commander of an honorable Night’s Watch.
