49ers KappaPog

dry surge
#

yeah only 9 games played in the regular season

#

tch

#

those are damage pitches

#

probably gonna get him to swing over a changeup

proud coyote
#

I do not like this

#

encarnacion is a yankee I forgot wtf

#

all of these feel so unnatural

dry surge
#

if blue called that one i would've been extra tight

#

😠

proud coyote
#

damn

#

nailed him in the corner

dry surge
#

they've got him on that high inside corner FB twice already this game

#

i think EE is selling out for a breaking pitch and t hat's what's getting him when they throw a high and in FB

#

credit for locating though

proud coyote
#

yeah urqui has been good

dry surge
#

i think that was the last inning for urquidy, but they need to hop on him early in the count

#

once he gets to 2 strikes it's gonna be hard to lay off his breaking pitches

#

urshela got him on the first pitch

#

and EE missed two fastballs right there

#

at this point, EE hasn't shown much. he did walk once, but i'd much rather see Stanton up there

#

or even Maybin

proud coyote
#

is stanton out of the lineup today?

dry surge
#

yup

proud coyote
#

wtf LOL

dry surge
#

oof

#

eh

#

safe

#

that stutter step cost him that out

proud coyote
#

yeah 100%

dry surge
#

little things

proud coyote
#

they should take cessa out

#

if he walks/allows a hit

#

every pitch gives me anxiety

dry surge
#

i do not want him to face the top of their lineup

#

i will never forget josh reddick wearing that US Flag speedo

#

bruh

#

what a pick

proud coyote
#

NICE

dry surge
#

gio da gawd

proud coyote
#

also lamo

dry surge
#

didi is lost

proud coyote
#

jesus urquidy

#

yeah, didi did not look in it

dry surge
#

just not in the game

#

sanchez' at bats are better this game than the previous ones

proud coyote
#

good takes there, yeah

dry surge
#

my guess is first pitch offspeed for gio

#

they probably have the scouting report on gio that he likes to swing first pitch

#

ye

proud coyote
#

harris ugh

#

dude is a monster

dry surge
#

nice swing

proud coyote
#

yeah nice

#

I doubt they keep urquidy in

dry surge
#

yankees have had will harris' number in previous years

#

i believe

proud coyote
#

🙏

dry surge
#

put up a good AB here gardy

#

fuck

proud coyote
#

fucking reddick

dry surge
#

fucking speedo man

proud coyote
#

reddick is one of those random players

#

that the As picked up

#

and suddenly started doing really well

#

idk how he's still doing well though, usually that period expires when they leave the As

dry surge
#

yeah he's not hitting so well but he's always been a good defender there

proud coyote
#

lmao

#

fuck

dry surge
#

first pitch swinging

#

w/ RISP

#

i'll never understand it

#

that HAS to be a call from the dugout

#

i refuse to believe DJ did that himself

proud coyote
#

I feel threatened

dry surge
#

they're bringing kahnle in

#

3 straight games

#

against the heart of the order

#

i can smell the lead getting larger

#

kahnle is a bro, he's filled with nothing but adrenaline and coors beer

#

overthrowing his changeup

#

walking off the leadoff batter: not ideal

#

i would've 10000000% gone home on that

proud coyote
#

I come back to this

#

fuck

#

this is not ideal

dry surge
#

with didi's arm? i'd go home anytime

#

he also had to think about it

#

and that might've cost the DP

proud coyote
#

definitely

dry surge
#

the infield was also back for some reason

#

the FS1 broadcast didn't show alignment until the ball was actually hit

#

so i get didi not going home there, but altuve got a bad jump on that hit

proud coyote
#

that pitch jesus

dry surge
#

lol

#

you could see gary calming kahnle down

#

i'd go changeup back leg

proud coyote
#

give him nothing inside

dry surge
#

fuck

proud coyote
#

fucking hell

dry surge
#

classic gary

proud coyote
#

was a good pitch too

dry surge
#

passed ball

proud coyote
#

how the fuck

#

did the last one pass gary

#

but that one didn't lol

dry surge
#

kahnle yanking that changeup all inning long

#

gary's body positioning is just all wrong

#

he's tried backhanding so many 2-strike pitches

proud coyote
#

such a weird player

#

nice pitch holy shit

dry surge
#

both gary and didi just completely check out at times

#

they both get super hot and then go super cold

#

i love them but

#

when it comes to the post season you need consistency

proud coyote
#

those inflatable helmets the fans have look so sweaty

dry surge
#

changeup backleg

#

easy swing and miss

#

make sure to block it

proud coyote
#

perfect

dry surge
#

ye

#

you could hear kahnle saying

#

"FUCK"

proud coyote
#

yep lol

dry surge
#

he's all adrenaline

proud coyote
#

who's batting?

dry surge
#

judge

proud coyote
dry surge
#

judge has hit homers off will harris before

proud coyote
#

best hope he can again

dry surge
#

also adam ottavino is warming up

#

he's another ticking time bomb

proud coyote
#

what happened to him man

dry surge
#

......................

#

if blue is giving that pitch to someone 6'8

#

forget it

proud coyote
#

lol yep

dry surge
#

nice

proud coyote
#

damn

#

nice

dry surge
#

good swing

#

i hate will harris' facial hair

#

get this dude out of here

proud coyote
#

looks very strange

#

fuck jammed him

dry surge
#

off balance swing there

#

he was looking for something inside

#

dude that 3 run HR from gurriel

#

that wasn't even a mistake from green

#

that was a good pitch off the plate inside

#

gurriel just cheated inside

#

nice stuff

proud coyote
#

nice take

dry surge
#

hicks has some of the better plate discipline on the team

proud coyote
#

that swing though

dry surge
proud coyote
#

his beard

#

is split down the middle

#

wtf.

#

my god...

dry surge
#

smh

proud coyote
#

joe buck is always chasing that "HISTORIC" call

dry surge
#

"one of the best double plays in ALCS history"

proud coyote
#

fuck him

dry surge
#

okay buddy

proud coyote
#

dude tortures me

#

in football and baseball

#

during the years the giants were good and played the cardinals

#

he was so pro cardinals it was painful

dry surge
#

same but for houston now

#

i've lost count how many time he's extolled the greatness of altuve

proud coyote
#

he loves chasing the narrative

#

such as "no yanks championships in 2010 decade"

#

or "good young team raised from the ground up dynasty blah blah"

#

except that one doesnt apply to the giants

#

because their team is weird

dry surge
#

he was so pro yankees during the early 2000s i wanted to vomit

#

every game he brings up jose altuve's career accomplishments at least once

proud coyote
#

lmao

dry surge
#

and talks about bregman as if he were his own child

#

me rn sobtriu

proud coyote
dry surge
#

indoor stadiums need to be blown up

#

definitely hit something

#

yeah

proud coyote
#

this is so brutal to watch

dry surge
#

well even if blue was calling them right, wouldn't do much

#

yankees hitters just missing easy pitches to hit

#

still, when the coutn could've been 2-0 instead of 1-1

#

it changes the entire complexity of the at bat

#

blue having a rough day

#

robot umps when?

proud coyote
#

robot umps please

dry surge
#

is there something wrong with didi there?

#

he didn't even try to break up that DP

#

just jogging into 2nd

proud coyote
#

I think he's jsut mentally done

#

very odd behavior

dry surge
#

he's a FA too

#

not a good look for him

#

and i love didi

#

but this happens all the time

#

there was a moment earlier in the postseason where he should've had a ball but he let it go by because he thought gleyber was going to get it, even though that was 100% on didi's side of the bag

proud coyote
#

sometimes I wonder if they even call the ball out

dry surge
#

completely agree with Smoltz here

#

as much as i hate to admit that he's right

#

Yankees got outmanaged here

proud coyote
#

is that

#

nick marisnick

#

im thinking of markakis lmao

dry surge
#

jake marisnick

#

his hair is so oily

proud coyote
#

looks like a lax bro

#

thank god he's 6'8

dry surge
#

after this series is over i'm writing a summarization of my thoughts and hopes for the offseason + next season

#

just as a cathartic outlet

#

judge barehanded that

#

holy shit

proud coyote
#

jesus christ

dry surge
#

at least i think he did

#

yup

#

lol

#

i got eyes like a hawk

proud coyote
#

lol

dry surge
#

We should have traded Encarnacion, Sanchez, Didi, Stanton for Cole since @Yankees wont shell out the 40 mil Astros would have accepted or would lose him to free agency. @lindseyadler All these big names are overhyped strike out players. Didi is at end of contract

#

i hate fans like this

proud coyote
#

lmao

#

shoulda coulda woulda fans

#

armchair gms basically

#

they're the same people who drop the team if they're not in the playoffs

dry surge
#

i like that from alvarez

#

knows he's struggling

#

not salty about getting lifted

#

good rook

#

keep it going

#

don't play hero ball

#

get on base and get the line moving for your RBI guys

#

if gardner was a real one he'd let that dink him

proud coyote

take one for the team brett

springer almost caught that

#

if his body was a bit more to the right

#

i think i might go into hibernation for all of winter if chapman blows this as well

#

two trash people both blowing it would be poetic justice

proud coyote
#

lmao

#

it's fate

#

at this point

dry surge
#

chapman went to drill harden and westbrook

#

never easy w chapman

#

chapman was pumping strikes in there and gary came out for a mound visit and broke his rhythm

#

hasn't had hit back since

sweet tree
#

yanks tied it up?

#

ayo what

dry surge
#

lel

#

MALA you're bad luck

#

smh

sweet tree
#

LOL

#

damn bad timing

dry surge
#

i saw it coming from a mile away though

#

so i'm not mad

#

ever since gary came out for that mound visit chapman couldn't locate the FB at all

#

also with brantley subbed out for marisnick on D

#

why do you even give him anyting close to hit

proud coyote
#

yeesh

dry surge
#

might as well pitch around and face marisnick

proud coyote
#

I have no diea

#

why they pitched to him

dry surge
#

who i think only has 1 or 2 hits the entire series?

#

gary checked out again

#

not a good pitch call

proud coyote
#

mala's fault smh

dry surge
#

okay

#

gonna write up my thoughts

#

very very very weird series. both teams played very poorly in terms of offensive production. and that's especially disappointing because of how good both offenses are. i wouldn't say the yankees pitching staff stepped up as much as the astros hitters have just flat out struggled period in the series. the season was a long one, with a record number of injuries to key players including judge, hicks, stanton, didi, sanchez, betances, severino, andujar, and so many more. they haven't had a healthy lineup with all of their key contributors at any point in the entire season and post season. It's a miracle period that they won 100+ games, and i'm proud of that accomplishment. though the fact still remains that at the critical juncture of the postseason, when big hits from your big RBI producers mattered most, the Yankees got almost nothing from EE, Stanton, Sanchez, and Didi. With both EE and Stanton just returning from injury and basically playing in crutches, it's difficult to expect them to produce anyways. And despite how poorly both offenses were this postseason, it stands to be said how much the Yankees NEED starting pitching, which has been a theme every offseason for the past decade. Tanaka, Severino, and Paxton will get you some good production, but there is no true ace of the staff, and no standout talents there. A lot of it comes down to the Steinbrenners not wanting to shell out the money and pay the tax for good SP. That has to change. Difficult to go far into the playoffs with a crippled rotation.

proud coyote
#

I think they could make a push for bumgarner if the giants get cole

#

or zach wheeler from the mets

dry surge
#

this says all it needs to say about the series

#

just a big

proud coyote
#

ew

#

yankees leading in every category

#

still down

honest umbra
#

im ssorry @dry surge

dry surge
#

😔

rustic mountain
#

I am sorry too Jeffo:/

#

Go fucking Nationals

dry surge
#

i'm rooting for the nats

#

kurt suzuki is my guy

#

also the nationals staff is scary

rustic mountain
#

The Nationals pitching core

#

If Sanchez stays hot

#

They win the whole thing tbh

#

I just want the Astros to lose because tbh they are shady and I really hate their manager

proud coyote
#

Yeah go nats

#

they knocked off the dodgers

rustic mountain
#

See Jeff, the thing is man even as a Red Sox fan, I still hate the Astros more than the Yankees

dry surge
#

the astros and their secret sign stealing/cameras/ipads in the dugout

#

got the yankees with it in 2017

#

and the sox in 2018

rustic mountain
#

It’s messed up dude. Not cool

dim ledge
#

@rustic mountain @dry surge can you explain what you mean exactly

dry surge
#

and other shady shit

#

the MLB cleared them of wrongdoing

#

but their investigations have never been thorough

rustic mountain
#

Essentially what Jeff said

#

The Astros have been leaning on shady for a while now

dry surge
#

between this, sign stealing throughout the regular season, and pine tar (which granted, every team uses to an illegal degree) , yeah a lot of funny business

proud coyote
#

they also have justin verlander

#

who's a douche

honest umbra
#

and gerrit cole

#

who's cool

proud coyote
#

gerrit cole is cool yeah

dry surge
#

gerrit cole is cool yeah

#

LOL

proud coyote
#

his wife is the giants' shortstop's sister

honest umbra
#

i'm glad we all agree

rustic mountain
#

Crawford’s?

proud coyote
#

yep

rustic mountain
#

Crawford is cool af too

dry surge
#

yup i remember reading about that too

honest umbra
#

omg thats cute

proud coyote
#

all giants fans

rustic mountain
#

I wouldnt mind having his glove at short for us

dry surge
#

gerrit cole is really cool all around

#

smart dude

proud coyote
#

are saying we need her to recruit him lol

dry surge
#

a yankee fan

proud coyote
#

and he wants to go to the west coast soooo

dry surge
proud coyote
#

if we get cole though

dry surge
proud coyote
#

we dont get madbum

#

lmao

honest umbra
#

and verlanders wife is kate upton

#

rite?

#

or gf i think

rustic mountain
#

The Yankees would be infinitely more like-able if they ditched that stupid beard rule

proud coyote
#

I think wife now fate

honest umbra
#

damn he bangin

rustic mountain
#

Verlander is still a tool though

honest umbra
#

bro tools are neccessary in life, sab

rustic mountain
#

Disliked him since he was a Tiger

dry surge
#

yeah it's a dumb rule

#

a vestige of a bygone era

rustic mountain
#

Baseball fucking loves their traditions

#

And tbh that’s part of their problem

dry surge
#

yup

#

they had their whole "let the kids play" initiative too with Ken Griffey Jr. on an ad

rustic mountain
#

The game could be so much more fun if these dinosaurs let the game evolve

honest umbra
#

well tbf

dry surge
#

and for some reason they still demonized people like tim anderson for actually getting kids hype

honest umbra
#

ppl like bryce harper try to do it

#

and suddenly they're dmeonized

dry surge
#

ye

#

bat drops, bat flips, showing emotion

#

i love that

honest umbra
#

me too

#

but its looked down upon

dry surge
#

if you do well, you should be allowed to get hype

honest umbra
#

"oh he deserves to get beamed"

dry surge
#

yeah it's dumb

honest umbra
#

now if the batter is being hella extra

#

i can see it

dry surge
#

hanging on to old traditions and unwritten rules

honest umbra
#

baseball has the ppl to do it too

#

mostly central americans coming to america

#

they are all extremely fun minded ppl

dim ledge
#

That's just super sketchy

#

Sorry what's sign stealing

dry surge
#

catchers put down signs for the pitchers, which is essentially what pitch to throw in what quadrant of the strike zone

honest umbra
#

so managers give their players specific signs and those signs usually dictate a certainly play or something

#

or a catcher put downs sign for the pitcher for what ball to go for next

#

hence why u see the pitcher nod or disagree sometimes

dry surge
#

players on base can peek in to see the catcher's signs to get an idea of what pitch is coming, and they can tip off the batter with another signal

honest umbra
#

so if u got like cameras in the stadium lookin at that shit

#

thats low q not allowed

dim ledge
#

Oh I see

#

Is it actually not allowed or is it just looked down on

#

Like time wasting in football

rustic mountain
#

It’s not allowed

#

It’s legit cheating

dry surge
#

nope

#

it's not illegal

#

there's no rule against it

#

though there should be and it's very clearly an act of cheating

rustic mountain
#

I swear I read an article

#

That said it was

#

When the Cardinals were caught being dirty af not too long ago

dry surge
#

what there is a rule against, is the use of electronic equipment in the dugout being used advantageously

#

hence the whole red sox using an apple watch controversy

rustic mountain
#

Ah

dry surge
#

basically extremely poor sportsmanship

#

but not illegal

dim ledge
#

I understand

#

Astros sound like man city

dry surge
#

also there is the whole "pine tar" controversy

#

foreign substances aren't allowed to be used by pitchers period (except for the rosin bag on the mound, which doesn't do much regardless)

#

and at the same time, almost every pitcher in the MLB uses some sort of foreign substance

#

the majority use pine tar that they put somewhere

honest umbra
#

man city havent done anything illegal

dry surge
#

be it on their glove, uniform, belt, hat, or on their body

honest umbra
#

they've exercised their privilege of having lots of money to buy a lot of players

dim ledge
#

Not illegal no, just unsportsmanlike

honest umbra
#

but on the pitch, they are a fine team

dry surge
#

it's illegal, but for some weird unwritten-rule type reason, they're just allowing it

dim ledge
#

With tactical fouling

#

There was a massive article on it after the WHU game earlier this year

honest umbra
#

i also think time wasting (depending on what it is) is a good strategy

dry surge
#

justin verlander uses pine tar on the bill of his cap and it's the msot obvious thing, but no one has called him out on it and no umpire has got him for it either, with the main reason being "every other pitcher does it too" which is just plain dumb

dim ledge
#

It's a good stat but it is unsportsmanlike. Def apples and oranges with football things and baseball things but I'm just coming up w comparison

dry surge
#

either allow the pitcher to use pine tar to get a better grip on the ball, or don't let them use it at all

dim ledge
#

So the pine tar gets into their hands prior to the pitch?

proud coyote
#

yep

dry surge
#

they put pine tar somewhere, and before they deliver a pitch, they get pine tar on their fingers in order to get a better grip on the ball

#

better grip = better spin rate = more movement on pitches

honest umbra
#

did sabathia retire, jeff

proud coyote
#

common places are under the brim of the hat

dry surge
#

the rosin bag (which is legal and is provided to the pitcher) does almost nothing for better grip, especially in colder weather

proud coyote
#

or in the hem of the shirt

dry surge
#

yes CC is retired now

#

The issue is, when you call a pitcher out for it, it's pretty underhanded because odds are, the opposing team's pitcher is doing the exact same thing

dim ledge
#

I think even with my limited knowledge I remember pineda getting called out and fined(?)

dry surge
#

yup

#

like, yes he broke the rules, but every pitcher is breaking the rules and if one team starts calling out a pitcher for it, other teams will do the same and everyone's going to get smacked with fines/suspensions

honest umbra
#

but its ok jeff

#

becuz the balls are juiced and flying further

#

so it evens out

dry surge
#

wrong fate

#

they changed the baseballs for the postseason

honest umbra
#

yea ik

#

cardinals cried about it

#

like always

#

dead ball

dry surge
#

well they have a point

#

they're pretty dead

honest umbra
#

yea they do

dry surge
#

the statistics are telling

honest umbra
#

but cards always cry about everything

#

im not a big fan

dry surge
#

they've been travelling more than 2 feet less

honest umbra
#

nats beat us but i was rooting for them

dry surge
#

drag coefficient on them is decreased

honest umbra
#

whats the point

#

keep the same going in the postseason

#

my dodgers might have had a better chance

dry surge
#

just waiting for my boy jasson dominguez to come up

#

projected CF, 16 years old, can run a 60 yd in 6.3, which is just 0.1 seconds slower than billy hamilton

#

good power to all fields

#

also a switch hitter

#

has hit 110+ MPH from both sides

proud coyote
#

jesus

#

dude looks like a freak

honest umbra
#

yea a freaks freak

#

Baseball spoiler: the astros beat the Yankees

dim ledge
#

Man fuck this ref

sweet tree
#

honestly

#

i think the 2 decisions were fine to me

#

mane one was a clear handball

#

the first one is 50/50, very controversial

#

there's contact there yeah, ref decided it was too soft which is what I thought it was at first

#

could go either way tbh

dim ledge
#

Ok so @sweet tree it's a "handball" but they allowed Dele's goal yesterday that was of a similar fashion

#

Consistency is all I asked

#

Obviously I'm gonna think it's a foul being an LFC fan but

sweet tree
#

dele alli was a shoulder

#

iirc

#

looking at it back, it does look like the shoulder / tip of the arm

dim ledge
#

Exactly

#

So VAR handball rule is odd

sweet tree
#

I think its fine

dim ledge
#

I've made my peace with it

sweet tree
#

its not blantant

#

would really pass it off as a goal imo

dim ledge
#

But for my money ref was definitely at least slightly biased today

sweet tree
#

looks like it also hits part of his peck there

#

well the first call is 50/50 for me, honestly really could go either way on that origi contact

honest umbra
#

im 3rd pick @proud coyote

#

who should I draft

proud coyote
#

in bball?

honest umbra
#

ye

#

i really, really, really hope

#

i get AD

#

my team name is based around him

#

albeit for fantasy purposes

#

there is prob better since AD will def miss games

proud coyote
#

hmm, Jokic is good too

#

and harden

#

idk who'd get picked

#

probably giannas first

honest umbra
#

giannis goin first

#

the dude ahead of me LOVES leonard but idk if he'll actually do that

proud coyote
#

lol if he picks leonard he's gonna have a bad time

#

if he does it just grab AD

#

if he grabs AD I'd say your options are jokic, harden, kat, and Dame

#

maybe curry

#

im always hesitant on lebron

honest umbra
#

ill go with kat

honest umbra
#

j cole joining the hornets @proud coyote

#

its over

proud coyote
#

lol

#

Just about the only person willing to join at this point

#

I’d love to just see jcole get fed like kobe vs the raps for 82

honest umbra
#

bruh

#

he would do it too

#

except if he got close to 82

#

kobe himself would come down to shut it down

#

80 is fine

#

but no one breakin 81

This chat is fcked up

#

I like to listen to the Michael bisping podcast while commuting, and they talked about some interesting in todays episode regarding weidmans possible retirement....

#

2 years from now, a loooot of the ufc staple and icon fighters will be retired already

#

Cerrone, mcgregor, stipe, Dominic cruz, diaz, woodley, DC, jose aldo, anderson silva (duh), shogun (duh), teixera, wonderboy, and ofc rockhold and weidman....

#

Kind of sad actually

proud coyote
#

It’ll be a sad day when cowboy retires

bitter rover
#

Yeah

proud coyote

his fights are always entertaining

Unfortunately he doesnt seem like the guy who knows when he should retire, I think itll require a few more KO losses in a losing streak before he retires

#

He is going up to welterweight again I think

#

I was just about to say he should fight mike perry, completely forgot cerrone just beat him like a year ago 😂IsshoLUL

#

Add frankie edgar and cub swanson to that list....

#

Micheal johnson

#

And tony ferguson too probably

#

Maybe khabib too

celest zephyr
#

Tony is actually pretty old.

#

If he were to beat Khabib and win the belt, I wouldn't see anyone taking the belt from him

#

But I wouldn't see a long reign either

burnt cedar
#

Stipe looks like he only has a couple left in him as well

#

Heavyweight is going to be so bad once that happens

#

Will just be ngannou KOing everyone in round 1

celest zephyr
#

I see DC just wrestling him out in their 3rd fight and taking back the belt

#

and Stipe and Ngannou having a rematch for the belt once DC retires

burnt cedar
#

JDS has pulled out

proud coyote
#

Good read

#

Fuck the astros

dry surge
#

@proud coyote yeah...

#

i also rooted for a team that employed a DV abuser, but this is just

#

something else

bitter rover
#

Ngannou vs volkov would be interesting

#

If ngannou and stipe rematches if feel bad for stipe

celest zephyr
#

I think Stipe could do the same thing and beat him again

#

but yeah Ngannou is too wild

burnt cedar
#

Hardy vs Volkov LuffyThink

#

Zabit Kattar main event but only 3 rounds

celest zephyr
#

Yeah just saw, that’s a huge step up

bitter rover
#

So i guess volkov said no to ngannou?

#

Hardy looked very beatable in his last fight

IS FINALLY HERE

#

MOST HYPE SZN IN 8 YEARS

#

i got raps and lakers

frank wraith
#

Shieeeet the western conference is going to be a bloodbath

#

My money is on the Lakers, seeing as my favorite player of all time is LB.

honest umbra
#

it better be

#

we dont support nothin but the purple n gold around here

frank wraith
#

AYYE you can say that again xD

#

But I always have to rep the home team...

honest umbra
#

no

#

u dont

frank wraith
#

GO BUCKS fuck em up!

honest umbra
frank wraith
#

GREEK FREAk

#

Clippers are a real threat tho. We’ll see what happens in Houston

honest umbra
#

bruh

#

clips aint shiz

#

pg coming off of an injury

#

kawhi wont play more than 60 games

frank wraith
#

Personally I don’t think it’s going to work in Houston.

honest umbra
#

and yea lebron + ad gonne be on load management too

#

but all lakers need to do is get in the playoffs 1-8 seed dont matter

#

and we're the better suited postseason roster

#

houston def aint gonna work lmao

frank wraith
#

True, lebron is a different animal in the playoffs

honest umbra
#

u tellin me westbrook gonna go from dominating the ball 85 percent of the time the last 5 years

frank wraith
#

Just get him there and he’ll take over

honest umbra
#

to less than 30 percent this year?

proud coyote
#

trailblazers are the sleeper team 👀

honest umbra
#

harden is by far the better player

#

dont ever doubt that

#

westbrook has to play second fiddle

#

but it aint like playing second fiddle to kd

#

when he was second fiddle to kd, he was still a superstar who could control the balla nd shiz

#

playing second fiddle to harden means letting harden control and dominate the ball

frank wraith
#

Westbrook is the biggest sham I’ve ever witnessed . Couldn’t get out of the 1ST ROUND!!! 3 years in a ROW.

#

Overhyped to say the least. That’s embarrassing

honest umbra
#

ye hes a tier 3 star to me

#

never seen him as top of the top

#

steph is light years better

frank wraith
#

He even had Paul George for 2 years

honest umbra
#

they got thrown out by a rookie donovan mitchell in 6 games their first year

#

and dame hit em with a dagger 3 for his 50 points last year

#

they was wack

proud coyote
#

dame killed their franchise

frank wraith
#

Yeah but that Utah team was ready and Dame is a killer 😤

honest umbra
#

bruh mitchell was trash last year

proud coyote
#

ya he regressed

honest umbra
#

br ranked the top 100 stars in the nba this year

frank wraith
#

He was but the team is great, think of who they have

honest umbra
#

mitchell was 30th, tatum was 34th, brown was 64th

#

and kuzma didnt make top 100

#

it was so trash

proud coyote
#

let me check this out

frank wraith
honest umbra
#

mj a clown

frank wraith
#

The goat has spoken xdddd

honest umbra
#

dude might be the GOAT but he cannot evaluate talent

#

if you can sit there and convince me steph doesnt go into the HOF if he retires tomorrow

proud coyote
#

nurkic 98 LOL

honest umbra
#

u r a certified clown wasting time

proud coyote
#

nahhh

#

dude owns the hornets

frank wraith
#

Failed in Charlotte fo sho

honest umbra
#

he was the first unanimous MVP

#

73 wins

#

back to back MVP

#

SHATTERED 3 POINT RECORD

#

3 rings

#

ppl get in for HALF that record

proud coyote
#

damn they put jayson tatum at 34?

honest umbra
#

oh also dont forget the individual efficiency for which 3 of his seasons are ranked

#

in the top ever

frank wraith
#

Yeah but 0 finals mvp’s. He shrinks in the playoffs.

honest umbra
#

2 of 3 the rings he won, KD won the finals MVP

#

KD is one of the greatest players ever and also a fellow HOFer

#

dont blame steph for that

#

its like blaming Kobe for Shaq winning MVPs

#

and the first series where Iggy won it, it was a testament to how amazing LeBron is

#

dude got held to 27 points in the series and his opponent won FMVP

#

curry played amazing against the raps ALONE, he didnt shrink.

#

im a lakers fan thru and thru but u cannot ever convince me steph isnt a HOFer lmao

frank wraith
#

Him getting back to back mvps was just like watching Steve Nash win it over Shaq. Steph 100% deserved the first mvp but the second one????? Come on...

honest umbra
#

you mean kobe right?

#

shaq regressed in those years and wasnt the best player, or even close

#

steve nash averaged like 18/11 on like a 50/40/90 szn but the number 1 reason was because suns were 1st seed

frank wraith
#

No league mvp. I’m not the fastest typer on my phone.

proud coyote
#

you think shaq deserved MVP in his 2nd year with the heat? lol

honest umbra
#

whereas kobe averaged 34 points but was like 8th seed

#

i think he means kobe, not shaq

proud coyote
#

that team was koby, lamar odom, and scrubs

#

and they still made the playoffs

honest umbra
#

if anyone deserved to win it from the heat, it was the flash dwayne wade

#

shaq was 1/2 the player he once was

frank wraith
#

whenever Steve Nash won it over Shaq that was bullshit.

honest umbra
#

steve nash never won it over shaq

proud coyote
#

the year before wasnt a shaq year either

#

nash won in 04/05 and 05/06

honest umbra
#

timmy duncan is a GOAT too

proud coyote
#

both of those years shaq was a heat player

#

and shaq was not mvp level on the heat

honest umbra
#

both those years, wade was a better player

proud coyote
#

ye

honest umbra
#

the only time steve nash is called out for winning mvp over someone is kobe

#

for the reasons i stated

frank wraith
#

Steve Nash did win the league mvp over Shaq ... what are you talking about?

honest umbra
#

nash was 1st seed and averaged 18/12

#

kobe averaged 34 but was a far lower seed

proud coyote
#

he did win it over him

honest umbra
#

i mean technically he did i guess?? shaq was in the league??

proud coyote
#

but nash deserved it

honest umbra
#

but shaq wasnt in contention??

proud coyote
#

is what were saying

#

shaq's vote was all hype

honest umbra
#

^

proud coyote
#

you really think 46% free throw shaq

#

shoulda won

#

in a year he was at 22ppg

honest umbra
#

only players robbed of a mvp in that era are kobe & dirk

frank wraith
proud coyote
#

thats shaq being a dumbass

honest umbra
#

shaq is salty becuz someone throws shade at him

#

for dunking on him

#

hes a salty dude

#

i can find u a 2 hour montage

#

of shaq being salty

#

dudes a Laker GOAT, but lets not gut the truth

proud coyote
#

nash took the 29-53 suns

#

to 62-20

honest umbra
#

that 7 second offense in '10

frank wraith
honest umbra
#

why did u link

#

what i said

#

5 mins ago

proud coyote
#

lol

frank wraith
proud coyote
#

why are you linking google previews of bleacher report articles

frank wraith
#

But it’s called mvp, most valuable player

proud coyote
#

lmao

#

steve was the most valuable player for his team

frank wraith
#

Not best record team

honest umbra
#

ron artest so underrated

proud coyote
#

dude, steve nash took the 29-53 suns to 62-20

honest umbra
#

he hit this winner against the suns in wcf

#

and then game 7 against the celtics

frank wraith
#

They should rename the title or something

proud coyote
#

shaq took the heat team that lost 2-4 in the ecf semis

#

to the best record

#

so not even a bad team

frank wraith
#

Mvp should be for individual performance

proud coyote
#

why

#

it's the most valuable player towards a team

honest umbra
#

in the league history, only a few handful players won MVP in the league that were below the 4th seed (i think it was 1 or 2) UNTIL very recently where westbrook won it for averaging a triple double in the season despite being a 6th seed

proud coyote
#

the award fits nash receiving it perfectly

honest umbra
#

if individual performance conciled in winning a MVP, players like devin booker or karl anthony towns would be in contention every year

#

but thats not fair because they are the superstars on subpar talented teams

#

and arent generally making their teams better

#

also if we are gonna talk about MVP being a "fair" award, LeBron should have won it the 7 out of last 10 years

proud coyote
frank wraith
#

What were the bulls record when Derrick rose won it?

proud coyote
#

steve nash came in and they won 62

honest umbra
#

the fact that he is excluded from the convo because hes "Lebron" and thats what hes "expected" to do is insanity

proud coyote
#

wiht him being the only real diff

honest umbra
#

he is undoubtedly the best player in the league every year

#

from 07 to 16

#

they had to stop giving him the award

frank wraith
#

You can say that again.

proud coyote
#

rose was 62-20

#

in his mvp season

honest umbra
#

KD in 14 is the only exception i'd be willing to make

#

and rose wasnt that spectacular albeit amazing

#

spectacular mvp**

#

he was a gr8 player, dont get me wrong

#

but his szns been done before hella times

#

lebron deserved it

#

oh shit szn kicks off in 50 mins

proud coyote
#

yuuuup

frank wraith
#

Did you guys see this one list ranking the best players of all time? It was pretty recent a d Kobe was ranked like 13-14 and Steph was in the top 10?? I threw up... jeez

honest umbra
#

eh i dont mind those lists anymore

#

they are made by analytical statistical nerds

#

who figure efficiency over everything

#

which is fine, whatever

#

but kobe was generally a player u had to watch in real time to understand his greatness

#

and people really like devaluing his character a lot

frank wraith
#

But you don’t simply but Curry ahead of Kobe

honest umbra
#

the fact that the nba kids and future hofers go to workout with kobe every summer should show u that real respect real

#

funny thing is both pg and kawhi worked with kobe this summer lmao

#

but the thing is lebron + ad wouldnt need to learn from kobe where kawhi + pg are more kobe players

#

i get it but dont be helpin them clips

#

😂

#

You watch the nfl?

honest umbra

#

from LA so i support all LA teams

frank wraith

I see. I was born in Madison Wisconsin

#

So i support the Bucks and the Green Bay fuxking Packers.

honest umbra
#

bruh that performance was crazy

frank wraith
#

What a performance, looking like his former self

honest umbra
#

he is the most talented QB in the league, by far

frank wraith
#

Was really struggling these past 2 years due to injury (Rogers injured both years and never managed to get into the groove)

#

But things are looking like they are supposed to in lambeau

#

6-1 in the toughest division this season.

honest umbra
#

bruh

#

y'all facing a chiefs without patrick mahomes

frank wraith
#

Don’t even

honest umbra
#

you will be fine

#

it is undoubtedly the hardest division

#

but when davante returns, y'all be good

frank wraith

The nfc north

#

True, that turf toe is a big deal for wr’s

#

You do fantasy?

#

Football ?

proud coyote

im the one who should be scared

#

49ers vs panthers

#

I say this every week though

#

hopefully we can pull this out

frank wraith
#

You a Carolina guy?

proud coyote
#

49ers fan

#

I hope we win so people can finally shut up about us not beating a proven team yet

frank wraith
#

Then you shouldn’t have much to worry about xD

proud coyote
#

idk man, carolina is looking good

frank wraith
#

Well 1 loss wouldn’t be the end of the world

#

You guys are guaranteed to make the playoffs

proud coyote
#

ill be cynical just for the sake of it

frank wraith
#

You should be shitting bricks for this one

proud coyote
#

it's in san francisco

it's the game im 2nd most scared for

#

im most scared for saints in NO

frank wraith
#

With brees

proud coyote
#

yep

frank wraith
#

Back

proud coyote
#

assuming we split with the hawks, beat the cards twice and the falcons

#

we're 10-6

#

which would probably be enough to get us in

#

and I doubt we lose every game besides those

frank wraith
#

Aaron always plays good against the 49’ers, it’s where he is from.

proud coyote
#

too bad we dont have kaep anymore

#

dude always smoked the packers

frank wraith
#

Xdddddd

#

Yeah but now we have a Defence

proud coyote
#

is your defense actually good?

#

i've not been able to tell

#

they seem good enough for rodgers

frank wraith
#

Oh yeah the smith brothers are fucking awesome

proud coyote
#

speaking of rodgers, he averages 321 yards and 2 tds against us

#

ugh

#

and like .33333 ints

#

not including playoffs

#

if I included playoffs those would go way down

frank wraith
#

You also can’t beat the packers with 9 points.

proud coyote
#

were also not playing the packers in 3 inches of water lol

#

did you watch the game?

#

no one could plant their feet

frank wraith
#

So it was unplayable?

proud coyote
#

let me find a clip

frank wraith
#

I saw bosa water slide

proud coyote
#

that was basically the whole game

frank wraith
#

Ahaha that’s funny!

proud coyote

epsecially the first half

frank wraith

Lol I got Mahomes

Honestly 49’ers have a great franchise, second only to Green Bay ofc.

#

It reminds me of the packers just on the west coast.

proud coyote
#

we do have similar franchises

#

except we have more rings NamiWink

We are not far behind tho.

Our franchises have also been spoiled with great quarterbacks.

#

Montana, Young, Favre , Rodgers

proud coyote
#

yep lol

#

plus old great QBs like Starr and YA Tittle

frank wraith

Hehehe

#

Is it just me or does Bill Walsh look like Pete Carroll’s father?

And his love for causing needless drama
