Good fucking game. Absolutely went on a rampage. Makes me feel better about that 175-176 disaster last year. We just beat the team that beat the Warriors. I feel good about the team. The Nuggets game is more of a fluke than a constant. We need to be positive and not get so butt-hurt and cry like babies when our team has an off-day. We have an insane starting lineup and really good performance from The System and The Mann.
Harden is going to be that leader. The video where he’s being recorded shows he’s communicating with the team a lot. Kawhi’s too silent and Paul George doesn’t really facilitate more so than just ISO. Russ sort of plays his own game. It’s gonna be Harden.
I think it’s a really nifty device, but I can’t really stomach the price for my use case. I’m mostly at home, but occasionally drive out to events. At home if I already have a gaming PC, I don’t see myself using the SD. I mean you could lay down while gaming which is true, but I don’t mind sitting especially if it saves me a couple hundred bucks.
Again, I do think it’s an interesting device. I just think handhelds are stuck in this tug-of-war between portability, battery-life and power. The more you go towards one, the further away you are from the other. Either you go all the way portable with something like a Nintendo DS/3DS and you get a small size, plus decent battery life, but you just don’t have power. If you go towards raw power, the unit tends to be huge and you’re going to eat your battery like it’s a sample at Costco. You also have to turn settings to low to make it playable and you’re likely going to have to plug it into the wall, which defeats the point of being portable in the first place. You could dock them, but that then makes it pretty much a PC, so you could just get a PC.
I think the SD’s best place is to play middleweight games - games that are more than the smaller ones which you could just play on a smaller portable, but less powerful than the AAA games on consoles/PC where you have to massively limit frames on the SD and where you’re battery life is dramatically reduced. As it is, I game pretty much on PC and carry a modded 3DS when I’m on the go if I want to busy myself with a smaller game while waiting somewhere.
Again, I do think the SD is an amazing device that’s really cool; I’d get one over buying a PS5 or XSX. I just think it doesn’t make sense for my use case costing that much money. If I had money lying around then I could buy it to try it. I think SD is a very versatile device. I like how it’s basically a PC and can be used as one. You can output it onto a TV as well. I just feel in terms of raw gaming, my portable needs are met with a smaller device and raw gaming is just better on the PC/console in terms of performance and comfort. I’m fine with playing smaller titles on the go like Tetris or Mario. I don’t mind playing Starfield on my desktop and prefer to play it there where I have better FPS, a larger screen and a more comfortable controller.
It’s a painful one, but I’m not down and out. I think the right move is to create a system and not just live and die by isos. I feel like Batum and RoCo were great because they were part of a system in that they had defined roles of being 3 and D guys. I just don’t really see a system and see Russ, PG or Kawhi chucking balls and not utilizing their teammates.
It sucks, but I’m not down and out. It’s more on our own issues than the Denver team being great.
Hahaha, you freaking did it! In for one!
I thought he was being traded for a sec 😅
Yea, TMann is great. The thing is we have 4 dedicated scoring players, so we need other players to facilitate those guys and guys like TMann do this job well. TMann doesn’t look like he scores a lot and he doesn’t, but it’s to give room for the scorers. We can’t have everybody be offensively minded and need to create roles so people can focus on one task. I think non-scoring players are underrated and help the team in a lot of ways without the ball.
Eric please make shirts!!! Will totally buy a bunch!
5 straight possessions where 3 just doesn’t go in. Is this the only plan we have? Chuck 3s?
And there was great weeping - nobody
Why are you pissed? It says New right on the box in handwriting.
Probably all the damn turnovers. The ones from that 175-176 last year against SAC still burn. Other than that, I think this is an amazing squad. KL and PG are just boss, Zu is great at what he does, Russ has this explosive energy that helps out when 213 gets gassed, TM just feels so versatile from any position, Bones is such an amazing player for being so young, Norman can get really hot, RoCo has great defensive skills, etc.
I might be wrong later, but I feel good about the squad.
We had the better %, they just shot more. We also could have done better FTs.
And it’s your turn!
Thanks for Covington and Powell Portland!
