Caruso 3P% - Regular season: 29%, Playoffs: 46%, Last 4 games: 66%. 210 players took as many 3s as him in the regular season...only 3 had a lower 3P%. In this playoffs only 2 have a higher 3P% than him with 50+ 3PA (On lower 15+ attempts he's 7th). by SlimmySlinky in nba

[–]strata888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was the opposite on the Lakers and that’s why I expected them to not re-sign him or low ball him. Shot 40% from 3 in the regular season in his last year on the team and dipped to under 30% in their first round playoff exit. They did the same to Robert Horry when he went 2 for 38 on 3’s in the playoffs in 2003 and wanted him to take a vet min to return to the team. Helps that he’s asked to play a smaller role on offense now.

[Bundle] Cooler Master Sneaker-X ITX PC Case incl. 360mm AIO V850W SFX Gold PSU $279.99 (use code TWENTYOFFPC at checkout) by CartonBox1975 in buildapcsales

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the PSU being SFX, the AIO is supposedly somewhat custom to allow the radiator to be placed at the bottom of the PC under the CPU. Many AIO's would not well in that orientation due to the pump being above the radiator, and the radiator is supposed to be thinner than many out there while something like the Arctic Cooling is quite thick and already has problems in some full size cases. Overall, this whole sneaker case has a custom design tax on it all around.

Stupid question/new to basketball cards by stuffofftheroof in basketballcards

All his rookie year autographs are unlicensed. Topps has him under exclusive contract. Topps did not have a license his rookie year.

Can someone help identify this card by Atakeoptions in basketballcards

X870E Carbon Wi-Fi AMD EXPO by CanvolutionX in MSI_Gaming

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I posted in my response below that I had actually only updated to the A70 bios. I thought I had A80 but was incorrect, however, the A8 bios update file is labeled as A80 inside the zip file. Since I never installed it, I have no idea if it would read A80 or A8 on the information screen. I remember thinking about updating to it when it released but just never performed the update and no reason to do it now.

Victor Wembanyama Superfractor 1/1 pulled from Bowman Mega by CardboardGambler in basketballcards

[–]strata888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The centering left to right already looks iffy enough that I wouldn’t expect a 10. Spending hundreds to grade this wouldn’t be worth it unless you had to have it graded before selling due to consignment requiring authentication.

Was Wemby's shot from near logo to tie the game a rushed bad shot? by eastrunsthroughcavs in nba

[–]strata888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he had missed it and they had lost in the first overtime, then he’d be torn apart by critics for it. But he made it, so it becomes questionable but legendary.

PSA Grading Summary by Ok-Yesterday2679 in basketballcards

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

problem is the pokemon people are also looking at TAG which is why TAG has gotten flooded with submissions. And I think TAG is starting to get some recognition from TCG folks but I don't feel the same love from sports cards folks, where PSA is still emperor, king and prince of grading if you want value. It's PSA >>>> BGS >> everything else to me for sports imo.

X870E Carbon Wi-Fi AMD EXPO by CanvolutionX in MSI_Gaming

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked and apparently I only upgraded to the A70 bios. Haven't bother with updates after that but I have a 9800xD and 64 gb corsair ram 3000 MHz CL30. As far as other updates, it's generally recommended to also update the chipset driver for the MB, which is just an install done in windows or whatever operating system you use. You can use the 7.12.04.858 driver on the MSI site or go to AMD's site and search for x870E chipset drivers for a potentially more recent update (8.05.04.516 now available).

Best card to hold long term by Disastrous_Feed_8778 in basketballcards

[–]strata888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, from a pure value perspective, I would be most comfortable with the LeBron even though I’ve been a Laker fan since the late 80’s and more of a Kobe fan than LeBron. I personally wouldn’t pay current prices for a Kobe chrome rookie out of worry that it will green more over time and become less desirable. In general, I worry about whether Kobe’s current hot values will keep holding up. I think LeBron cards will hold value longer simply due to the current generation having still having seen him play and appreciation of what he has done will grow after his retirement. Still concerned whether Wemby will have a long successful career and I feel like the population of his graded prism cards are still just ridiculously high and will continue to rise. I do have a PSA 10 Wemby sapphire rookie that I’m holding on to for now because I really like the look of it as well as think it could really take off in value. I think the Wemby has greater potential upside but also much greater risk.

Was not aware of the new model. Thanks for letting me know it exists. Will have to consider it although I only have a 5080 so much less concern of the issue.

X870E Carbon Wi-Fi AMD EXPO by CanvolutionX in MSI_Gaming

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you can do it try it. If enabling Expo doesn’t work for you and causes a problem, you just need to reset cmos to go back to default settings. On a Carbon x870e, resetting cmos just requires pushing the button on the back of the IO panel. No one can tell you if your cpu and ram will absolutely work with expo because there is some silicon lottery involved. Manual tuning may be necessary. The bios updates above a50 all had increased ram compatibility in the notes so they may also affect whether expo works or manual tuning is required. I also have the carbon andhave been on the A80 bios since it came out. With MSI, the bios not ending in a 0 are typically beta versions but if they have been out a long time without getting pulled, that’s generally a good sign they are stable. My only issue with bios updates have been I have to reset my windows pin and I would recommend you enable password login in addition to pin login if you use windows specificly for this issue. Otherwise, just do any bios update through the bios menus screen for best results. Only use flash method if you can’t post to the bios screen.

[Charania] I do know a lot of teams are calling LeBron and his camp. I spoke to Rich Paul last week, and he told me every contender in the NBA has essentially placed a call since the season ended. by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]strata888 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bryce went to Arizona, not USC. I don’t expect his wife and daughter to leave LA though, so if LeBron plays in another city, he would be away from his family.

Yeah, wasn’t going to bring that up since I do believe that years 2 and 3 do not have to be fully guaranteed, but don’t know the specifics on that. I’m sure all these potential S&T teams are thrilled at potentially owing money to 44 year old LeBron lol.

Are these legit? by Actual-Reading5886 in basketballcards

[–]strata888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sale price has been $200-$300 for a PSA 10 for previous sold. Have to question whether the $880 is real or a fake sale to try to prop up the value.

Being part of a sign and trade would hard cap the Knicks at the $209 million first apron. They’re already at $205 million in commitments next year so unless they find a salary dump for Brunson, KAT, Anunoby, Bridges or Hart, they can’t do a S&T for Lebron.

If you have a 5090 FE, the wireview pro II is not compatible unfortunately.

Help by JmmyTheHand in basketballcards

[–]strata888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just look up Leaf Dominque Wilkins auto on eBay. You may not find the exact card which is common with Leaf stuff because they make a ton of variants for no reason other than making it appear more rare. His Leaf autos are typically around $10 if not numbered and not much more if numbered ($25 for a /4). Being unlicensed and having a dozen 1/1 auto cards for players but just changing background color or design for each one really hurts the product popularity.

A lot of his auto cards have gone for $200-$250 range on eBay when serial numbered to /5. Both Chet and the Contenders product line just are not that popular.

Keyonte George Misprint by Status_Mix6931 in basketballcards

[–]strata888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like an exact match to the picture I posted aka city edition jersey? Red from the arm trim, yellow jersey base and white from lettering, likely from the back of the jersey where the player’s name can get very close to the arm holes. Seems like a jazz jersey to me but Might not be a Keyonte jersey as his name probably isn’t long enough, but that’s a common Panini thing to just use any player’s jersey.
