The Japanese airlines had the best food I’ve experienced. Then probably Emirates.

I’ve only seen a couple of ads for this and they make it seem like it’s a generational film that will be talked about for years to come. lol

I think you have a different definition of ceiling/floor raiser than everyone else. It’s not just about winning.

To me, and most of the other people I’ve seen define those terms, a floor raiser elevates their entire team and makes their teammates better. So someone like Jokic or CP3.

A ceiling raiser is someone who has the potential to make an already good team even better. KD is the ultimate example of that. He can’t lead and carry a team, he can only add to an already good team that can do without him, with the Warriors as an example. He failed in Brooklyn because he was supposed to be the leader and he clearly is not one. He failed in Phoenix because that honestly was a poorly constructed team (redundant SGs, no PGs, stars are all iso scorers, and no depth), and Booker who technically is the leader isn’t a floor raiser either. KD is basically the lipstick on the pig. The success of his stint with the Rockets is not dependent on him, but how well their core does next season.

Curry and Kawhi are outliers in that they can be both. With Curry’s skillset and playstyle, you can plug him into any team and he raises your ceiling. At the same time, his gravity gives his teammates the space to play well, which is why KD had all the space in the world with GS, because everyone was busy trying to stop Curry. Kawhi is a ceiling raiser by definition, but he was so good in his prime that he could carry an entire team on his back even without raising the floor of his teammates (i.e. Toronto).

Durant has always been a floor raiser, never a ceiling raiser

I think you got it the other way around…

That’s the thing. They ARE good as it is, they don’t need the foul-baiting and flopping. Not to mention they get away with a lot of physicality in the name of elite defense. That’s why their championship run was so frustrating to watch.

Welp, I guess that’s it. What an anti-climactic ending. Teams can only wish refs called their defense the way they do OKC.

This is where you see Hali’s importance. Their offense suddenly stops moving when he’s out. TJ is a good backup and has helped them a ton, but he’s not as great a playmaker.

And free throws. Those missed FTs will haunt them if they end up being down only a couple of points late in the game.

Nembhard, Nesmith, TJ, and Toppin need to collectively step up.

Definitely achilles. You could see it snap in the slow mo replay. Sigh.

The fucking devil came to collect. Dammit this was supposed to be an epic game 7. I mean it still can be, but would’ve been much better with everyone healthy.

I’m lucky that my city has a true IMAX theater and unlucky that it doesn’t have reserved seating, in this day and age. So I have to arrive an hour early just so I can stand in line and get a good seat.

This is the one you can get from cats right? So someone who owns a cat has a high chance of having it.

Is it possible to import subscriptions into piefed from lemmy?

That guy definitely is on discord.

There are some very hilarious greentext out there if you can filter through the racist/sexist/misogynist ones disguised as jokes.

Voice passed through some type of distortion effect?

How about focus on making good content instead. People subscribe to streaming to avoid the talking heads. Never found that dude entertaining too.
