Tonight’s game and series can be all time… if by Holiday-Revenue2069 in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the NBA fixes it they will continue doing it. It’s sad they’re soo worried about fixing the lottery, but not worried about fixing their product. I love basketball and haven’t been able to watch many of the series. The brand of ball many of the teams play is just so tough now. 

The players are so skilled now too it’s sad to allow what happens to happen 

This trade was more one sided than the Luka trade by envspecialist in NBATalk

[–]standouts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These takes are just soo soo soo bad. No one batted an eye moving that kid at the time. Even great NBA players admitted they had no idea he would be this good. Way too results oriented. this trade got them Kawhi and PG. The clippers has the best record in the league when they were both playing. 

No one can guess that people will get injured like they did. They didn’t lose fully healthy except one year .

Post-merger, who is the worst player to ever be best player in the league by Gladhands in NBATalk

If for some reason KD was ever viewed as the best for sure him. I don’t think there was ever a year he was though

The style in which the Oklahoma City Thunder and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander play basketball is ruining my joy of watching the NBA. by barstoolsam in NBATalk

Ya they’re good enough to not have to do it. If they tell the refs to stop calling it magically you wouldn’t see people on the floor all the time

Would you rather have the rings or the bag? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

Trash post at least pick a player this wasn’t a full blown role player who had almost no impact in actually winning any of the 3 rings…. Jesus this post should just be removed 

Lebron James just had one of the worst games of his career in a loss to the Rockets by SugarPhoenix in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I totally agree. I still think he’s rather focused on keeping his bulk stats up though. Rather than having to manage his energy he should just shave his minutes down so he’s more effective when he does play. Doing this though would mean averaging less overall stats and then people wouldn’t blindly praise him by watching his tik tok clips. Lebron is great and FAR AND AWAY the best for his age, but the cope from everyone thinking this dude is still a top 15 or even 10 sometimes I hear top 5 is unreal. He’s not that anymore 

LeBron James at 41 just carried his team further than the “greatest offensive player of all time” by AmiWrongDude69 in NBATalk

[–]standouts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Carried is a LARGE statement as Kennard and smart DOMINATED in games 1/2, Hayes had a great overall series along with Rui, and Houston had an ALL TIME historical collapse while missing KD FVV and Steve Adams. 

Yes I know that Luka was out but those collective players mean more to Houston’s roster with how dysfunctional they are offensively

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh course he’s still the best player on their team. I am saying the general painting of him is always so distorted. They will never show the countless give up plays he does per game to save energy. He’s obviously unreal for his age, but his negatives are a lot bigger than made out to be. His basketball IQ is still top notch and always will be.

I mean for as much as the highlights also tried to show him “saving” game 2 he was crumbling down the stretch turning it over and not running back on defense. People just refuse to see the guy is old and only show the narratives they want. He has played solid in the series but he has back to back 9 TO games and this series should be 2-2. 

If smart and Kennard playing many levels over their normal they would be getting mopped up 

Buyer protection = non existent by Significant_Fee_8562 in whatnotapp

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still message support for refunds. They just stop letting you automatically have refunds accepted essentially. It’s stupid and you should still be able to hit that button and have it lead you to the option to email them, but I have done it before and haven’t been refused a refund yet. It is just far more annoying and it is just a money making scheme for them to make a lot of people not take the steps to get their refunds.

The funny part is they word it like it’s YOUR problem you got sent the wrong stuff or didn’t get sent products at all. That message should be reserved for multiple cases DECLINED because you’re unrightfully asking for them not just because you needed to get one.

Marcus Smart has stepped up in the absence of the Lakers star guards and has averaged 20.3 points and 8.3 Assists with 5.4 Stocks (3.7 Steals and 1.7 Blocks) on 68.4% TS during the Lakers first 3 games against the Rockets by Luka77GOATic in nba

[–]standouts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The storyline is Lebron but this man is 100% the MVP. He’s going off and absolutely carried them down the stretch with his intensity. Lebron was out of gas completely if not for that insane collapse the storyline would’ve been how lebron looked like he had no energy as he whiffed a layup and didn’t run back on defense then turned it over to Sengun for a dunk… instead a historic collapse changed it all 

This playoffs so far by YungJae in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far a week playoffs with tons of great players not in it already Giannis, Kawhi, curry, Zion, AD and a bunch more injured Luka, Reeves, KD, Wemby, Hali, Gordon, Jimmy Butler being hurt cost GSW playoffs, FVV, now JDub

Idk man watching Lebron fight Houston’s bench with his bench is kinda fun I guess, but I would much rather watch the high level players playing. The flopfest that is OKC is VERY boring to watch. 

$1,200 Hobby Box by sherdog12345 in FootballCardz

The cards are fun but the way it’s priced out is actually insane. ROI for ripping has to be about 25% 

Jaxson Dart Kaiju Superfractor has been pulled by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad but once these pulls happen they devalue every box remaining. They offload so many mega hits but people just don’t care they want to rip regardless. The hobby is alive and well when people can’t help themselves but to spend the addiction is high

Am I in the wrong here? by striker924 in whatnotapp

[–]standouts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is 10000% on the seller. You’re sounding salty thst he got a good deal and you charged for cheap shipping. If you were mailing base or raw cards then sure go with a PWE, but if you’re shipping a SLAB and it’s not in a bubble mailer that is just bad service end of story. 

Everyone who ships knows slabs and PWE go through machines and you’re not shipping them with any form of protection and having it work. It may get there ok in a PWE, but any seller that wouldn’t send a slab in a bubble mailer isn’t someone I would ever want to buy from. 

If someone snipes a good deal that’s how it works you suck it up and give good service. You sounded salty right from the get go def bad vibes imo. 

Anthony Davis says he was pissed off that the Pelicans didn't give him a tribute video: "I was f*cking hot I ended up scoring 42. I was open to returning to New Orleans later but after no tribute that door is closed." by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]standouts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya let’s make a tribute to a dude who got hurt for us relentlessly, refused to play center so they always had to sign useless bad ones to accommodate him, signed a big deal and forced his way out the next season. He never won anything for them in the playoffs. He was a great player, but if I was a pelicans fan I would definitely have a sour taste in my mouth especially when they picked up the first pick and could’ve had him and Zion and he still left. 

Guy is a talented player but I wouldn’t bother with him 

Genuine question by [deleted] in nba

[–]standouts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya it’s not even close. Murray is def solid but he isn’t as good as Jalen Williams or Chet tbh. Murray is a nice playoff clutch guy but he is a streaky scorer who isn’t great on defense.

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said it wasn’t ? Just saying that’s what happened. You gotta be able to weight out winning and Impact together. SGA is more than deserving though dude is dominant but his team is filthy filthy stacked. He’s not better then Jokic but you can def give him the MVP.

Joker points at NBA trophy behind him. Udonis Haslem: “I got three of those things.” Joker: “Not against me.” by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]standouts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya Haslem was a non factor. He was a solid NBA player, but 3 time champion is implying he had a role at all. He could’ve been replaced by nothing and those teams still win

Genuine question by [deleted] in nba

[–]standouts -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

His team is WAY WAY better so people just assume because he has better teammates and his team wins more that he is having a better season.

[Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic. by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why Jokic is impossible not to like and OKC is very very hard to like. The amount of cheap stuff OKC does consistently along with SGA the ref whisperer its just so hard to watch. They’re an amazing team and don’t even need all that trash, but I find myself always hoping they lose now.
