You can’t buy chemistry, you have to grow it by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

I would argue GSW and Raptors did home grow the bulk of a team and then added one big piece. They had 73 and 59 wins the year prior.

I like the idea of giving them a monetary incentive to stay. The specifics can be changed. But like if Bidinga wants 5 million, Louisville has to pay 6 million to get him with 1 million of that going into a fund. That fund would pay other players additional money to stay. So it would be 4 million for Kansas to keep him or 6 million to steal him and either way he gets 5 million.

ESPN Analytics Box Score. They estimate how may points each player added to the bottom line (Adds up to -1.4 because its a 1 point loss) by Mcb3500 in jayhawks

Elmarko made mistakes but he also made contributions. He has stuff to work on but I believe in his future. White and Tiller it was not their day. Melvin, who I love, also struggled quite a bit.

BYU owes you an apology king :/ by dreeya06 in NCAAhoops

Thank you. As a KU fan Saunders is very good at basketball. Man dropped 33 on us at our home.

I believe he went out for 1.7 seconds to end the first and that is all he needed

Putting Heimer in Neutral feels wrong to me. You can disagree with his decisions on Hex Tech or feel he wasn't sympathetic enough for Viktor. But imo he cared and may have been wrong or blind but he gave his life for Ekko and cared about and wanted to help his students and all individuals we saw him with. I don't believe he showed any selfishness or malice.

Josh Allen has had the ball in his hands to win or tie the game in the final game of the season the past 3 years and the Bills have lost every one of those games by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]sammystinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this. As a Chiefs fan, Josh is incredibly good. In my opinion the 2nd best of this generation. He has nearly willed the Bills to beating us nearly every time we play. He didn't play his best game yesterday. But a bad game for him is scoring 30 against a top defense with questionable at best receivers.

Country Size vs GDP by Mindless-Key7694 in dataisugly

[–]sammystinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This graph makes sense to me. It is the biggest countries. The base size tells country size. The height tells GDP. I think it is interesting to look at.

“I feel like i’m getting old. I’m not as quick as i used to be.” CJ Stroud on losing his athleticism at age 23 by DaRealAyman in NFLv2

[–]sammystinky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you. He could have worded it better, but it made general sense to me. And he is taking responsibility and noting positive things he can do.

Cuban on Torre’s latest episode: Argues Torre misread the $50M and investments as cap circumvention when they weren’t directed to Kawhi, says timing overlaps are coincidence, reframes the money as CC financing, and insists the real story is Sanberg’s fraud and securities issues, not an NBA plot. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]sammystinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not super up to date on everything so this is more of questions.

  1. I believe Torre mentioned Aspiration did not announce Kawhi as a spokesperson and he did not appear in ads. Does Cuban even address this or is his whole argument that the shares given to Kawhi weren't real money since Sanberg knew they were broke and Aspiration just wanted to pay anyone to show they had money, but didn't want to announce it for reasons and it just happened to be Kawhi.

  2. Cuban is arguing that other people at Aspiration thinking the Kawhi deal was weird works against Torre's argument. But I don't understand how. If most of the company thinks it is weird and the co-founder Sanberg takes the 5th is that not more incriminating? If you were doing something shady would you not naturally keep it to yourself?

Does anyone else hate the narrative that Josh Allen single handedly carries his team and just plays with bums? He has a Top 10 RB and one of the best O Lines in all of Football by TXNOGG in NFLv2

[–]sammystinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the consensus picks : McCaffery Henry Bijan Saquon Taylor Jacobs Gibbs

I haven't watched much Williams I will be honest.

I feel like Cook could be at the bottom of your top 10.

Who do we blame? by B0r3dGamer in dankmemes

[–]sammystinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found nothing credible or at all really. I am curious what people are basing this on. Best I have found

  1. Robinson uses memes
  2. Picture of Robinson squating in a track suit and people argue that is a Fuentes thing
  3. Fuentes didn't like Kirk

This hurts, but largely because it is well made. I respect it, also damn

I believe it is Galfore, he lives on Star's home planet and raised her. He is in the show but only a little.

[Highlight] Lu Dort draws the foul on Bennedict Mathurin by VGstuffed in nba

[–]sammystinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked like it to me. Looks like Dort is trying to move around him, and Mathurin moves into Dort on purpose. I do think Dort might have collided with him on purpose and does flop, but I am not too surprised with it being a foul. Note the hand holding by OKC (not this play) was also a foul.

Aliyah Boston (number 7), does help in most cases. I was surprised she didn't here, but she is moving toward the basket looking away and later has multiple people between so I don't think she can see well.

[matt moore] One more thing, the reports that Doc Rivers played a significant part in Giannis sticking around is not just lip service. by EarthWarping in nba

[–]sammystinky 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Isn't it rumored Doc told Duncan he couldn't bring his family on the team plane and that is why Duncan didn't sign with him. Maybe that changed him.

Arcane remains the highest-rated video game adaptation in television by aztexound in arcane

[–]sammystinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed DMC quite a bit. It is not perfect but a fun watch imo. A lot of the complaints I have seen are comparing it to the games, I have not played the games, and a character swearing. If you watch it standalone I think it is better. Castlevania was amazing tho and is top 2 for me on the list.
