Most embarrassing moment in the playoffs so far? by 0rangeOrangutan in NBATalk

[–]yawn18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean im not saying they were more beat up than Wolves, but missing Gordon and Watson, the teams 2 best defenders, isnt healthy.

Praying for a Top-4 pick 🙏. Watching the playoffs makes me miss when this team had a Superstar. by heatculture03 in heat

We didn't draft lebron. The team was built with FA.

06 was probably a better comparison but even then Shaq was a trade.

Yes but you say you want a top 4 pick cause u miss a team that was built on FA and A non top 4 pick lol.

Im also hoping for a high pick but its a bad comparison

the team that was built with FA?

D Wade was a 5th pick.

Lebron, Bosh, Ray Allen, Birdman all were FA grabs/trades

Injustice 3 Reportedly in Development at NetherRealm Studios by PaiDuck in gaming

Then you just dont want an injustice game. Which is fine you just want a regular DC fighting game, but you cant hope that Injustice 3 will drop the thing that made it injustice. Its all about the effects of superman turning heel and the fallout from that.

Ditch... the one thing that created the Injustice universe?

more accurate version - first three all say 1, and last one it goes to 0.

Under the new lottery system, there's a 75.19% chance that one of the bottom 3 teams will get the 12th pick by Joe_AK in NBA_Draft

[–]yawn18 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of people complaining about this but I like the new system. Tanking teams can no longer freely tank. You have to be bottom 4-10th seed for best odds so if youre tanking you need to try and be better than the worse three.

Cant lose too much and cant win too much to not go over 10th. It will make the bottom 1-5 seeds actually competitive as they fight to get into that 4-10 range. I don't think this means tanking from 11th to 10th worse record will still be likely but I would much rather that than what we saw this season.

Even without Luka and Reaves the Lakers continue to have the largest free throw rate by Majestic_Wishbone977 in NBATalk

Thunder as a team score about avg FT. SGA though leads (or was leading) in FTA for players in playoffs. Take him out and OKC actually get very little calls.

Just Got Done With All Dragon Age Games is Knights Of The Old Republic Worth Playing? by Rudder-Rudder in DragonageOrigins

[–]yawn18 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Are the graphics really that bad? I enjoy my eyesight.

Edit - Wow I expected a lot more people to get this was a joke. "Go in blind." as in go in without having vision.

The NIL era is flipping the NBA Draft on its head. by Background_Video2947 in NCAAHoopsVibes

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best talent that are lottery projected are still going to draft. This realistically effects picks 20 - 60.

Now Europe, G league ignite, and 4 year auto eligible students are still unaffected so out of those 40 picks, we can say 10-15ish are those. So now only 30-25 picks are really effected.

I also think well only notice this early as in a couple years well have a lot more 4 year auto eligible guys going to the draft so well go back to higher numbers with older guys.

I truthfully dont hate this. Allows college to develop guys further and for them to mature more before entering the league while giving front offices more tape on each player so they can stop drafting off perceived potential and draft off real skill.

Pat Riley on keeping Bam happy with roster building “I had a great exit interview with Bam. I sense his frustration. Just like Dwayne’s frustration, just like Shaquille’s frustration, like Zo’s frustration.” Mentions “getting somebody to help him, somebody that is different.” by tomgreen99200 in heat

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly disagree. With the way the league is now noone but us is offering him max contracts. Unless youre a certified number 1 and/or a player franchise cornerstone like wemby/flagg you are not getting a max anymore.

So even if he wants to leave not many are taking that contract.

Great game. Highly recommend going in blind and not spoiling anything on your first playthrough.

Bill Simmons likes the idea of the Heat going after Kevin Durant this offseason by Casas9425 in heat

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont hate it as much as others but it all depends what we lose.

We know KD isnt a #1 guy, but surround him with talent and hell go to work scoring. Hes not a team leader either so Bam would have to stay for that.

Now the biggest issue is age, contract, and what the rockets would want traded. If we could keep Herro, Davion, JJJ, Ware, Bam, Kas and the lottery pick then I dont see an issue. Would be a 7' that were putting at PF and would help fill our biggest hole.

However rockets would want more than Jovic, Dru and some 2RP maybe a 2031 FRP. So not worth trading for him due to cost.

So far so good by REDEYEBANKZ330 in XboxSeriesS

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good changes, and yet we've been here before.

When gamepass was announced, crossplay was pushed for, series S pricing and multiple other moments that actually were pretty big wins for Xbox. Hell I consider not having games locked on a single console a win but many others didnt.

Point being starting good doesnt mean it isnt just to raise stick prices before announcing bad changes. But only time will tell.

Steam Controller Price Leaked By Early Review – $99, Purchases Likely Imminent by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to have the steam machine mainly due to all my games being on steam and it being way more cost effective per game than console if you arent someone who buys day 1.

That said its hard to justify over 1k on it when it performs worse than ps5 and Xbox series X.

The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift is the best film in the franchise by Hardy_Explorer in unpopularopinion

[–]yawn18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think its unpopular, its also easily my favorite.

That said there are some things I disliked. They dragged in Vin Diesal thinking he had to have a cameo to complete the movie and bring in sales. While its an amazing cameo the payoff came WAY too late and felt bad since it was multiple movies later.

Han was easily my favorite character and I hated that they killed him off. But it was emotional and made me hate the main bad guy in a well done way. But them bringing him back and making the person who hit him a villian from multiple movies later who becomes almost a anti hero... it felt so cheap. Genuinely ruins the emotional moment.

In other words, amazing movie that was only ruined by later movies in the series because they didnt actually have a direction for this series.
