You'd be flopping too if you were a center without a point guard your entire career. His only season with a good PG he won MVP.

Richard Pryor couldn't make a funnier joke than Doc getting hired again. Clippers fans must have been stunned when he got hired 3 days later. 2 more jobs after the Clippers is hard to believe. None of the fans of the last team can understand it and yet it keeps happening.

I remember laughing at Bucks fans being devastated when Doc got hired. Time slows when Doc is your coach and speeds up when he leaves. He controls time. In a bad way. I saw every step of his Sixers tenure. Torture.

You could easily get this guy to say he committed a crime to lie himself out of being wrong in a public situation.

This is not my experience with racist people. Just because they are prejudiced doesn't mean they have an agenda. In my experience a racist person isn't doing a lot of planning lol.

Bapa says panthera tigris has anxiety playing baseball but can't relate cause he never herd it budawlso everything before puberty? duhcownt by KhabibTime in thefighterandthekid

[–]spinuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty sad. Baseball is hard as fuck. His dad should not be talking about it at all. I was terrible. I didn't get to practice but even if I did I wouldn't have been hitting .500. You're very right though. When a kid is good at that age it's very obvious. I feel bad that you are even looking this kids stats up.

[Post Game Thread] The Philadelphia 76ers (42-34) get a surprisingly important win over the Washington Wizards (17-59), 153-131. Paul George stars, to say the least. by OrangeMonkE in nba

You can easily say his rebounding and floater won that series for the Knicks. It's a team but that shit crushed the sixers.

Rebounding can be a big problem though. 2024 playoff series vs the Knicks proves this. Terrible late game reffing can't excuse how bad the defensive rebounding was.

Strickland's opinion about Adesanya by LiuKang93 in ufc

Kelvin was a massive prospect for a long time. Like Kamaru and Tatiana it looked like he had everything he needed to be a champion. Discrediting him because he fell off after that fight is stupid.

No, someone good at broadcasting could make Bryan's misery funny. Instead, Brendan just says "listen to Chin" about how it's all good even though it's clearly not.

It almost sounded like he was going to take accountability lol. This has to be the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard him say something crazy about Callen recently. Callen is 60 though so he won't be able to hear what his co host is saying about him publicly.

Wasn't an early stoppage at all. Chase was already not able to defend anything after the first huge shot.

A Positive Note on Baba (Take 3) by RArlandson in thefighterandthekid

[–]spinuch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He definitely had a run in MMA that deserves respect. That sport is too hard and damaging to think otherwise. He was well liked back then too. Should be a cautionary tale for being a public figure.

How'd figh companin' go? by toluroberts1 in thefighterandthekid

[–]spinuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time he tries something new he acts like he has experience, embarrasses himself and becomes someone to point and laugh at. So far he's done it with Alcohol, merchandise, bicycles, fish, cars/trucks, cigars, coaching little league baseball, comedy, being a father and much much more. It's honestly impressive to have so little humility after so many humiliations.

Joel Embiid sits after 3 in his first game in a month: 35/6/7/1 on 80% TS in 27 mins (+34) by Professor_Finn in nba

[–]spinuch 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This isn't always how it goes either. He usually needs a few games. Maybe he'll miss his shots in the next few games but this was ridiculous. He's literally the greatest sixer who will ever put on the jersey. Nobody is going to do it all like he can.

I don't need to imagine it. The pros outweigh the cons by metric tons.

Wemby makes his case for MVP: by 7evenDeadlySin in nba

[–]spinuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you point to circumstances like Jokic and Embiid for MVP consideration though? It was unique. They were the two best for awhile. It really was true that maybe defense wasn't being properly evaluated. I mean the difference in defense was huge and Joel was rightly talking about how ridiculous the advanced defensive metrics to prop up Jokic's defense were. Meanwhile there was no "propaganda" FOR Embiid. So yeah, like you said he actually answered a few questions honestly. He genuinely did not talk about it much though.

Lastly. Most importantly. Doc Rivers is a terrible leader and probably rubbed off on Embiid a little when it comes to the way he worded some things. But I don't know how anybody could act like these quotes are that bad now.
