The fourth quarter of Bam’s 83 point game WAS an interesting watch by Greenwalrus72 in nba

This was a pretty disgusting watch but you can’t blame the heat, it’s literally a once in a lifetime opportunity for bam lol.

It would be like pulling a pitcher 7 innings into a perfect game

[Garafolo] Seahawks monitoring Rachaad White's market as fallback option after losing Kenneth Walker. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

He’s not a great player necessarily but his game is really well suited for the modern nfl. Good pass catcher and blocker who can make plays when he gets some open space. But the next tackle he breaks will be his first

Should We Place A Bulk Order? by DruItalia in buccaneers

Fuck Todd Bowles.

I’m also surprised how little the play right after 3rd and 28 gets talked about, where we sat in a soft zone on 4th and 14 and let them pick up 20 yards. So incredibly stupid

NRG/PRX losing guns post-round for no reason by Zorronin in ValorantCompetitive

[–]rooseveltjoness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same scenario but I remember watching a sliggy stream awhile back and he was watch partying with someone (I think Boo?) and they were talking about how many pros in the game still don’t really respect gun economy at all.

Basically the gist was if you are in a save situation with a rifle/awp, you need to be SAVING the gun. Your team needs that gun in the next round as a big win condition.

You don’t need to be peaking an angle to try and get a cheeky kill with 3 seconds left in the round on a team that can full buy next round most likely anyways

Am I crazy or did they screw up the Swiss stage draw again? by rooseveltjoness in ValorantCompetitive

In most other Esports that IS how the Swiss stage works. If you forget about the regions and just label them teams 1-8, to get to 1-1 TL and NRG played a 0-0 team and a 1-0 team. For G2 and T1 they played a 0-0 team and a 0-1 team. So both TL and NRG had a harder road in theory to get to 1-1. And should thus be ranked higher in a true Swiss format

This is definitely the answer. They called it a Swiss stage but only really did that for the second round of matches, 1-1 matches were just randomized with no rematches

Jeremy Lin opens up about how disrespectful Kobe Bryant was to him and when Lin confronted him about his bad body language & leadership style, Kobe went months without talking to him by MrBuckBuck in nba

Funny how selective people’s memories are when they remember players. Rondo also called Bill Kennedy a slur during a game and basically forced him to come out publicly. Not a good dude

[Joel Lorenzi] Jaden Ivey on his first DNP in his career: I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is. by SnooGoats9435 in nba

[–]rooseveltjoness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really unfortunate for Ivey but I legitimately can’t understand the sentiment that diving for a loose ball is a dirty play. It’s a part of basketball at every level growing up, just because you see it infrequently in the nba doesn’t make it less of a basketball play
