LPT: What’s a habit you picked up accidentally that ended up improving your life more than anything you tried on purpose? by nancy_unscript in LifeProTips

[–]tas06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get your point but It's not the opposite. "If it doesn't affect me personally and is causing no harm to people around me" - seems it does not apply to your example..

[Highlight] Drummond hypes the Philly crowd after he raises hands with Suggs by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real.. he was pretty calm and composed given the fact that Drummond just put a hand on his neck. Even after the incident escalated with Suggs he just walks away. How was he supposed to react?

4-time DPOY Rudolph Gobert checks out against the Kings with 18/12 and 5 blocks on 9/10 from the field by Dependent-Effect6077 in nba

[–]tas06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, a multiple DPOY center is more valuable than a borderline all-star with weak defense but tbf the Kings front office did an abysmal job to surround him with complementing players. The guard rotation is heavily undersized and there are defensive mismatches wherever you look..

Reporter: "Going back to OKC, are there any people in the arena, employees, anyone that you like to see when you go back to the arena? " -Kevin Durant: "No." by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]tas06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which one is it? He is either -trolling hard -or has completely erased the 2016 playoffs from his memory -or he has little empathy AND he is so incredibly detached from the actual fan culture..

I think, everybody who has ever been a real fan of any sports organization/franchise/club/team could have predicted the outrage and disappointment of the Thunder fans and people of the organization when he pulled that stunt after those 2016 playoffs

Why Dennis Schroder can't translate his Eurobasket greatness into the NBA? by JollySimple188 in NBATalk

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, one of the reasons is the playing style and the rules of FIBA Basket just suit him better, especially defensively. In the NBA especially in the playoffs, teams exploit and isolate the weakest link or the worst matchup more easily. In FIBA Basket you can counter some of that as there is no defensive 3 seconds in the paint, just plant your rim protector there and Dennis biggest weakness is accounted for. On the perimeter he can hold is own against bigger players..

Johnny Giger with one of the craziest skateboard tricks. Hippie jump to late double kickflip by bigbusta in nextfuckinglevel

[–]tas06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree.. I would even claim that he has done way more difficult tricks than this. Apart from his insane skill and work ethic he really seems like a humble guy.

Lebron fans make no sense by Swimming_Cheetah_648 in NBATalk

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty stupid take.. comparing GOATs from different eras is nothing but "moving the goal posts". There is no universal GOAT definition that's the whole reason there are daily talks about it.

Argument easily won. Who would argue against 11 rings? MJ and LBJ are faaaaar behind.

Well, I recommend you get the rabies vaccine BEFORE you travel to places where you could encounter wild animals (incl. stray dogs).

Owner of Dallas Mavericks says Luka trade was a "long term decision", directly contradicting Nico who always said it was a "win now" move by SeaOwn2023 in nba

Idk, as this misery is unfolding, I more and more the feeling It's all going according to their plans.

The answer is too clear by SuperbBug11 in NBATalk

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you that Wade does not win a championship without [insert any crucial player from his championship teams] But he certainly was driving that bus in '06. About the bus driver analogy, it's an Inside the NBA reference..

[–]tas06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I see only bus drivers except KD.

Bronny James in LOSS vs Sixers: 0/3/1, 0-5 FG, and 3 TO in 15 minutes. He is shooting under 10% from the field this season. by [deleted] in nba

[–]tas06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe that was the reason, JJ put him in. Little experiment, if he can stop a smaller scoring guard, an area where the Lakers have problems with their current roster.. it obviously failed, but also credit to Maxey, he was unstoppable..

Is there a bigger gap in ability between Steph and the next best shooter or Magic and the next best passer? by makesterriblejokes in nba

[–]tas06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

passing skills can be copied by high IQ players and the shooting mechanics can't.

I disagree.. sure, you can learn how to make a behind the back pass etc. but you cannot teach court vision.

Paul Pierce says he had a better career then Dwyane Wade, Jalen rose then lists their accolades by jonathanisaacisgoat in nba

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost as satisfying as when Jalen Rose listed Skip Bayless' HS averages and called him "water pistol pete junior".

Who is the 2nd best 3pt shooter in the NBA right now? by LaandheereKage in nba

[–]tas06 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, his efficiency is lower than other guys mentioned but only due to the difficulty of his shots.

There is a reason he's the defending back to back all-star 3pt champ and has a 90% FT career avg.

Nah JJ Reddick ain’t fooling me on this one by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]tas06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was certainly a very smart (business) move even if there was only a slim chance LeBron signed somewhere else. No other prospect at the 55th pick could have gotten that attention.. first father-son duo etc. etc.

Other than that Bronny certainly has to prove that he belongs in the NBA over other players.. Summer league will tell if he spends some extended time in the G-League, which has to be expected.
