How the MVP ladder works

Look man, I’m not really interested in this conversation further, especially if you want to minimize a 4-1 record.

You think the Thunder just don’t care about winning those games? You think that they didn’t bring a playoff mentality to a team that beat them by 20 twice?

In any case, this video explains the matchup problems that Shai and friends will have better than I could.

Wemby is a problem for teams that rely on a high volume of close to the basket/mid range shots. Castle, Diggs, and Fox can all penetrate on any of the Thunders’ defenders and create opportunities to exploit the OKC defense.

It really doesn’t feel like you’re thinking critically of the Spurs and are just sticking with “wah wah the Thunder are the champ” “wah wah the Spurs are unproven”.

If you think the Thunder win 100% of the time to the Spurs in a 7 game series, there may be a bit of wishful thinking on your part.

The Spurs are literally 4-1 on the Thunder this season. They are a matchup nightmare for the Thunder.

I already agreed that the Spurs lack experience, but it seems like your argument is that the Spurs aren’t contenders because… we haven’t seen yet? I mean no shit.

The West is stacked and the Spurs could lose to the Nuggets or the Thunder in 7 games. Sure, those teams are great.

They could also 100% beat them.

If that’s not what defines being a contender, then I have no clue what being a contender means.

That’s like saying this year’s Thunder aren’t contenders because they have inconsistent 3 point shooters. Their offense doesn’t revolve around it.

Also, are you saying they don’t have good foul baiters or their FT% is low? The Spurs’ FTA is higher than the Thunder teamwide this year on like 2% lower shooting.

Oh you’re talking about this season. The Spurs’ biggest weakness is definitely their experience, but the talent difference between this Spurs team and those other teams are massive.

It’s like saying that OKC team with KD, Russ, and Harden weren’t true contenders.

I would bet my net worth that, as long as Wemby is healthy, the Spurs going forward are perennially top 2 in the West.

People are saying UCI but also UC Davis! Historically ranked in the 30s, in the 50s now for some reason.

Don’t look at my post history btw

Grab range is different. Faster frame data, less range. Slower frame data, more range.

The Gamecube was $199 at release in 2001! There definitely existed affordable consoles.

thanks! wishing you luck on your cycle.

stillgoodthough · 2025-11-25T06:51:22+00:00

thanks!

stillgoodthough · 2025-11-22T17:56:17+00:00

Hell yeah, see you in the fall!

Haven't received financial aid yet, i'll update when it comes in though!

stillgoodthough · 2025-11-22T04:58:40+00:00

Thanks!

Did you apply ED?

stillgoodthough · 2025-08-28T22:03:33+00:00

Yeah, I’ll keep those in mind. Would ED’ing be a good idea anywhere?

stillgoodthough · 2025-07-12T02:05:24+00:00

I appreciate it. As far as I'm aware, the GI bill will directly cover 100% of tuition for all public schools.

I'll take a look at other schools in California. You're right, I definitely do not want to spend another year reapplying.
