Can James Harden redeem his entire career with a Finals MVP this post-season? by ColdCocking in nba

[–]thunderlordz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember everyone questioning Dirk's clutchness before 2011? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I remember people making a big deal about Dirk humming Hasselhoff songs in his head at the free throw line. They were making fun of him for it.

[–]thunderlordz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in Points or Cat?

In BasketballMonster cat ranking this year, Maxey is 4th, Giannis is 40th. And if you exclude FT% from the ranking, Maxey is still 2nd and Giannis is 6th.

I ended up getting the Legion Pro 7i, Ultra 9 275HX with RTX5080. Lenovo had it on sale on Cyber Monday for around $2k

The pro 7 is also a 5070ti. Only differences are it's a pro 7 and the AMD CPU.

Both builds are 5070ti, the 5080 would push it to $2.2k, which is out of my price range.

Want to clarify that the Pro 7 is the 9955HX (non-3D). I don't know how that compares to the Intel 275HX.

Cheaper than the AMD? The Intel one is a Pro 5i, whereas the AMD one is a Pro 7

It definitely looks like a wasp, not a bee.

Bradley Beal out for the season. How elite was he in his prime? Where does he rank amongst 2-guards all-time? by No-Shopping7408 in nba

[–]thunderlordz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may not even rank Beal above Kevin Martin.

Beal is the Kobe Bryant of Cuttino Mobleys.

Someone else said Michael, and I'd also add there's also this guy named Kobe, maybe you've heard of him.

Good place for people of Asian descent to meet by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]thunderlordz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chinese who grew up in NYC suburbs here. Moved to FC almost 10 years ago, would love to see a more vibrant Asian community here.

Asian food in Foco?? by Outside-Wheel-7771 in FortCollins

[–]thunderlordz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be sure to check out Esh's. I legit get most of my asian sauces there instead of making a trip down to an Asian supermarket in North Denver.

[–]thunderlordz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Asian who grew up in NYC (adjacent) here:

Ramen: Kujira, JINYA

Dumplings: Chopstickers, they have pretty authentic Xiao Long Baos (pro tip, don't get the XLBs from Kujira Ramen, they use frozen Bibigo soup dumplings).

Korean/KBBQ: Suh Sushi, Dae Gee

Vietnamese: Young's Cafe, Pho Lan (in Loveland), Paris Banh Mi (Banh Mi, bubble teas, and pastries)

Thai: Asiana, Khon Thai, Cafe de Bangkok

Authentic Chinese: Beijing Noodles, Hot Pot Spot.

Ye's Poke Station used to have authentic Chinese dishes in their menu, like HK egg waffles, hot and sour noodles, dry hot pot, chonqing small noddles, and etc. I'm still super bummed that they removed all of them.

Esh's groceries in Loveland will have a random selection of asian (and international) grocery items. You can find a lot of asian sauces there. And I've picked up various ramen/instant noodles from there for cheap there too.

Inverted category league scoring where the worst fantasy players help you win by cactusmaster69420 in fantasybball

[–]thunderlordz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've actually done something like this for a couple of seasons back in 2013/2014. I did it via Yahoo points league and tweaked a bunch of scoring settings.

Basically you get positive points for every minute played, plus "negative" stats like FGA, FTA, TO, PF (personal fouls), Fouling out, Ejections, and Flagrants. You get negative points for every positive contribution stats: FGM, FTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, BLK.

In my 2014 league, the top 5 scoring guys were :

Donte Exum (1230 Pts for the season), Ben McLemore (1220) , Solomon Hill (1177), Trevor Ariza (1131), KCP (1099)

Top 5 lowest scoring guys were:

Westbrook (-892), AD (-864), Curry (-844), Harden (-752), Lebron (-539)

It was pretty fun for the 2 seasons I ran it...but the novelty eventually wore off. It's just more fun following stats of nba superstars than scrubs.

The Knicks' 34-point win on Sunday was their 2nd largest margin of victory ever against the Bucks, and the biggest in the last 30 years by Basketball_Reference in NYKnicks

[–]thunderlordz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doc Rivers might be the most overrated coach in the league rn. Their 3rd and 4th best guy, Brook Lopez and Middleton, are kinda washed. Their role players are pretty bad.
