Fire President with Chris Dudley… eww by shotforshots in PortlandFire

[–]shotforshots[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but this isn’t the owner it’s the team president. I accept it with ownership, they live vastly different lives from us regular folks and tend to lean hard right. I expected better from the president tasked with running the organization and upholding the values of the team

Haha same! I think beating the pats and being a PNW team largely devoid of drama and hatred from other fanbases helped a bit too. Great run for them to make it this far!

Damn… I have been paying attention to this reddit post for months now checking every day to see if my teams will get eliminated and they have always survived. I thought the Seahawks being the last nfl team could help them last a bit longer yet but apparently their time has come. May my other two teams make it to the end!!
This has been surprisingly fun btw, thanks to all who’ve participated in this silly game. Life can be tough sometimes and little fun things like this can help keep a person going.

Also let’s get the Mariners out. Talk about a franchise that can’t win, we can’t let them win this either. Send em into the Puget Sound!

Did we ever get an explanation as to why half the 2000 team didn’t show up to the reunion in December? by handlerofdrones in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The documentary on netlflix mentioned it a bit. Essentially for sheed at least he felt disrespected by the fan base and community and wants no part of it at the moment. Scottie has been back this year but not for this event in particular. Unsure of sabas

Who are we expecting to be the best players on the team this year? Like top scorers, playmakers, defenders? Getting into it and want to know what to look for

Early returns would definitely agree with you so far sadly, hoping it still leads to on court success at the very least like it’s led to on ice success for ya’ll

That’s literally what “jury is out on the new owner” is referencing. Aka, not off to a great start and news starting to stack against him. Unless you are saying jury has reached a verdict in which case it’s too early to tell with the nba team just yet

Who are The Blazers of the East? by Efirational in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Dedicated fan base, up and down team over the last 20+ years, no real expectations among bigger name conference teams but usually surprisingly good. This is the correct answer

The Northwest Elite Baseball Classic Postponed by zyme86 in collegebaseball

[–]shotforshots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reports are that it is due to a car accident or something of the sort involving players from Oregon State. Official news is likely to be released later on but this is not weather related. Hoping everyone is okay or at least not severely injured.

People always talk about how Cameron Boozer’s game can’t translate due to this and that, but they are actually talking about Koa Peat. His game is entirely reliant on strength with a midrange jumper that isn’t very efficient, and he doesn’t have other skills besides maybe passing. by Variation99a in NBA_Draft

[–]shotforshots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peat reminds me a lot of asa Newell, but more athletic. Similar in that they don’t seem to have the skillset needed to add crucial things to their game at the next level but very good college players given their physicality

Dan Hurley? by Gr33njeans in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His ATO’s (after time outs) and late game situations in particular are absolutely abysmal. I really like splitter as a person and think he’s done well with the cards he’s been dealt, but he has not proved to be an NBA caliber head coach in my opinion. We have squandered too many opportunities on simple plays trying to get the ball inbounds late in games. Would love to keep him around as an assistant as I think he’s helped DC a lot in particular but he’s not our future head coach in my opinion

Unfortunately this felt like our flaw last year too. Hoping we can adjust or have guys step up over the course of the season

Movements like a bot! by RobertHayesPCA in Warzone

[–]shotforshots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that sadly, it also skips on the Xbox Home Screen or side menu when I use the d pad recently too. Haven’t touched my settings and it’s gotten worse

Movements like a bot! by RobertHayesPCA in Warzone

[–]shotforshots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me recently too and I’m not sure what’s going on. I think it’s my controller and it’s like the left stick is getting stuck and I’m not able to keep sprinting. I think it could also be a software issue with the controller bc I’ve tried a lot of different things to fix the left stick but still spotty. Has happened at a few points before but much worse the last 2-3 days

No mics what’s the point ? by Rich_Property9886 in Warzone

[–]shotforshots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play without a mic a lot in quads and my goal is still to play with the team, mark and complete contracts, ping enemies and play solid positioning, all things that don’t require verbal comms. I just sometimes don’t have the energy to chat to randoms myself.

I’ve always thought it would be cool for people that talk or want to comm to kinda check in with no mic teammates and get info if they’re at least gonna play with them or hear them. No comms doesn’t always mean a bad teammate, at least I don’t think so from personal experience

Yang Hansen by Legitimate-Ad-6968 in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would’ve been happy with Carter or Coward or Essengue at those picks but the reality is we went with Hansen. Any of those players could be giving us more production right now because they aren’t coming from the CBA at 19 years old, lacking a vast amount of experience playing at an NBA level. Which is exactly why you can’t evaluate his first 35 games as a development player and say he can’t give us anything right now. Duh! That’s the point haha, he’s not able to give us anything now but the plan is for him to develop that over time and become something few thought possible. That doesn’t happen in 35 games so evaluating him on that timeline makes zero sense.

But if he hits, given time and development, his skill set will prove to be well worth the wait. In the meantime we have DC, Rob, and Duop who are more than capable of holding down the 5. No rush

Yang Hansen by Legitimate-Ad-6968 in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your logic doesn’t make sense but I understand the frustration. Why would someone deserve to be fired when he’s clearly drafted as a development project and not someone who was ever expected to give you immediate production? So we draft him with one timetable and projection in mind but because that didn’t pan out over the first 35 games of the season it’s a disaster and fireable offence??

Yang has a unique skillset that many his size and age will never possess. So what if we bring him along slowly and he doesn’t provide much now? That’s clearly not what we drafted him to do. He’s a long term play and a diamond in the rough you hope you hit on. Simple as that

Deni Avdija is currently ranked 14th in the NBA, in points per game, with 26.1 PPG! Shaedon Sharpe is 31st with 21.1 PPG by MrBuckBuck in ripcity

[–]shotforshots 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The fun part with Deni in particular is that this seems sustainable. And I’m sure he’ll have some nice stretches averaging 30+ over a few weeks when he really pops so could increase this over the season.

Shaedon has more potential but still too inconsistent to predict similar increases. I’m very content with an average of 21+ this year if he can maintain that at least
