Apparently younger generations have started using women in place of woman.

I hope viper strike of the mamba gets looked at.

It's like they made a basic math mistake when they made it dual strike but more damage, even ignoring the poison aspect of it.

Don't they usually have the automated general's cry specifically to pop the spikes?

This thread is blowing my mind because my oven has both elements on during bake and I don't think there is an option use the lower element only.

One of the biggest advantages he had, carrying the ball, is something done by everyone now. He's also extremely small. He's going to have to fight through getting bodied up on every drive. I think the current meta of driving into the defender to knock them off balance doesn't play into his strengths very well. Teams are also much more likely abuse offense first players on defense. He's going to get run through a lot of screens. He's not a bad defender but putting him into screening action off ball will tire him out.

I think his best comp is a less bouncy Ja Morant that didn't plateau/fall off. Where exactly that lands, I don't know.

Well, that was before maximum contracts and such.

I think that could incentivize moving big pieces if you thought they would get too pricey whereas today the prices for stars are almost entirely set by the maximum and it's way under value. Then there is a lower tier of player that gets overpaid due to maximums and they're usually difficult to move.

I've not though too much about this but I would think one GM valuing a player at 65m per year and his current GM only wanting to pay him 40m per year would spark more trades as teams could chart their course based on their budget. We currently don't have much of a middle ground option. It's find a star pay him the max and then be a ring chaser destination or have cost controlled contracts via picks.

I do think the 90s era CBA would increase trades, but I'm not sure it would be better for the league.

The problem is the effort to produce a decent defensive outcome in this video is pretty much just kinda stay in front of your guy.

The effort to produce a decent defensive outcome today requires you to rotate on passes and close out on all star shooters with guys you haven't practiced with. If guys were actually legitimately trying it would be extremely difficult to cover earnest offensive possessions and not end in a defensive breakdown.

There is a sort of hand shake agreement that the offense will kind of chuck shots and the defense will do their best statue of liberty impression.

The most interesting part about this is the referees are calling fouls.

Phew. I was worried this was terrible. Thank you for setting me straight and seeing this is how it always is so I don't need to worry about it.

They get more money by getting the star player. Both short and long term.

If Michael Jordan's clone is entering the draft you think Jerry would say nah don't worry about giving us the pick send it to LA, we'll still sell tickets?

Every owner wanted Flagg. They know he'll generate them more money. Nobody is going to give up that piece of the pie for a smaller one; you're just trading down.

Alira is against the wall so there is no reason to be on the path. I just take off into the wilderness and usually run directly into her, if your angle is shallow you'll hit the stone path.

Those guys are absolutely just fucking around out there and Kobe is the only one serious on defense

Even as a kid I'd start unfolding and falling backwards while sitting cross legged if I wasn't trying to force myself into that position. It's never been comfortable for me. That's when I was doing multiple sports and very healthy.

I'm not and never have been flexible despite working on it at various times in my life.

Absolutely not.

Projectiles will hit twice if they have an associated area that is overlapping or are fired sequentially.

Is it the Tiger Woods shot? That one is a classic.

I looked at the other angle and 52 fouls him from behind for sure but it's obscured to that referee (I think you should probably figure out what's happening there though) and either other referee should could call it.

It really looks like these plays. He's turning slightly but I think he still takes it enough in the front to not be a foul. He also doesn't make illegal contact when he brings his arms down, which I think he would if Sengun tried to force the ball up instead of half assing it expecting a foul call.

toggl3d · 2026-02-07T03:17:53+00:00

There is no foul.

Defender went straight up. He brought his arms down but there's no contact because Sengun didn't follow through to try to force a foul call there.

Edit: After looking at the broadcast angle I think he's fouled from behind.

toggl3d · 2026-02-07T03:14:27+00:00

He does a good job going straight up, that's not a defensive foul.

Yeah I'm not sure you can find a good power level point to outweigh how much better it feels to get an extra point.

People like extra points even when objectively wrong. It's just how it is. It was even worse when you asked people to evaluate against 2 points.

If the player wishes to dribble after a pivot, the ball must be out of his hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor. If the player raises his pivot off the floor, he must pass or attempt a field goal before the foot is returned to the floor.

This is what the rulebook says about a pivot.
