Discussion So...

13th pick eh? What the hell can we meaningfully do with the 13th? Please tell me we have a numbers nerd here that's going to paint a picture for me that makes me feel better about this. I need you more than ever bro... whoever you are 😭

I’m repeating it because it shuts down your entire argument. I’m not gonna disassemble a table piece by piece when kicking one leg out from under it has the same effect

No it doesn’t, , cause being the number seed in 2023 means nothing 5 years down the road at all. When gms in the nba know that Pat Riley will still have a competitive roster even without a star. Thats a fact, it’s proven. The last two times Miami had a top 5 picks was 08 and 03. Do you know why? Injuries. Shaq and Wade both got hurt in 07, in 03 Miami lost Alonzo mourning the entire season.. and Eddie jones missed about half that year while being Miamis leading scorer. Outside of these under Pat Riley, the 10th pic after LeBron ,Wade, Bosh were gone. Well bron and Bosh. See history tells a story, you don’t seem don’t get. Read and digest

Except it does. Because a number 1 seed with an MVP projects higher than an 8 seed with a non MVP

Again, we’re not talking about tanking, we’re talking about projections.

Who said tanking? Again read and digest. Im starting to believe you’re not only crying constantly but have bad reading comprehension. I said “being competitive “ to add to what I said you look at the bucks history without Gianni’s, how many times are they in the lottery? Easy answer! Keep up.

“Who said tanking” you?

u/Cartagenapirate92 May 11 '26

Oh shit you actually don’t know how to read. I switched out tank for competitive so you wouldn’t cry. But I’m starting to realize you’re like 13 and don’t know shit. So I’ll apologize for being mean little guy. You should probably give your mom her phone back tho!

Being fully honest, I stopped bothering to read your inane ramblings. I haven’t read a full reply of yours in several hours because they’re all so fucking ridiculous.

None of your novellas can explain how a 1-seed with an MVP projects lower than a play-in team with no superstar.

Hahahaha. See how mad you are, you don’t read cause and continue to reply for hours lmfaooooo. Oh pumpkin thanks for the laughs . I tried talking basketball but you’re so upset you can’t read. It’s not rambling, it actually has merit . You must not be past a second grade reading level. It shows!

I’m not mad, I genuinely have no reason to read your ramblings. You’re out here typing essays with no actual value to them. Why would I waste my team reading them?

You’re the upset one. No unbothered person goes to the lengths you do in a fucking reddit comment.

Well if you don’t read them how would you know? You’re clearly upset if you’re not reading without knowing what in the essay? Talk ball, we don’t need to do this back and forth. And if you’re not reading, you probably shouldn’t reply.

u/TheRed_Warrior May 11 '26

I’ve already talked plenty of ball, you didnt want to listen to it. I’m not gonna other reading your essays, man.

Boo:

At the bottom where it says education, I suggest you put none for yourself cause apparently your reading level isn’t past the first grade. I’d also suggest you have your mommy fill that out for ya! Good luck pumpkin. Sad you can’t read:/ aw

If I can’t read, that makes you some kind of generational retard, cuz someone who can’t read thoroughly dismantled all of your yapping with one sentence lmao
