Well then. A 189 comment discussion thread, and tonight will probably be just as mental. I note that there are two seperate discussion threads in which this scandal can be discussed.
Freedom from Penalty Thread - This thread is for any remarks in relation to the couples involved in the scandal (Standard Subreddit Rules of Civility and Personal Attacks suspended owing to the nature of the scandal)
Scandal Discussion Thread - This thread is to discuss said scandal generally.
Anything other than the scandal may be put here. Enjoy the show all!
Moses Brown looked super raw coming out of college and when he actually got on the court for the Trailblazers, but I think his long stint in the G-League, both last season and this season, really helped him out.
He still has room to improve on his end of the court and he finds himself clogging up driving lanes on the pick and roll on offense, but the potential is there.
A couple players that were close. But weren't good enough passers.
Robert Williams, who is a stud... But why do you have the worst defensive rating on the Celtics Time Lord? You got some explainin to do
Jakob Poeltl, who is one of the most underrated defensive centers in the NBA. Josh Loyld had him 3rd in defensive player of the year.
Paul Reed, G-League MVP this season. Player after my own hart. He is a future All star. Think Paul Millsap 2.0.
A ton of talented players that were close but not good enough shot blockers. Giannis, Jokic, Cousins, Bam, Plumlee, Nurkic, Sabonis, Embiid, Westbrook, Towns, Vucevic, Love. 10 of 12 of those player were all-stars at one point; they are all above average players.
When you can pass as a great rebounder is makes you INSTANTLY into an above average NBA player who is about 83% likely to make an all star team at one point.
Finally only Marc Gasol was a good enough passer and shot blocker but a terrible rebounder.
I will say it again. Hartenstein is a future Hall Of Famer who hasn't been given a opportunity. A DPOY version Jokic. He is going to change the landscape of the NBA when given a real chance.
16+17+10+17=60
60/4=15
The Steelers offense is averaging 15 points a game.
| BUF | LV | CIN | GB |

Was just poking around a bit on bbref and found this little stat; alot of it has to do with him being the focal point in Detroit for so long with little to no help around him, but still impressive nonetheless.
Kevin Durant finishes the night tying season high with 36 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks on 15/23 shooting 4/8 from downtown.
A good performance in a win from Durant, efficient and to go along with 7 assists.
5 turnovers however. One kissed fan. Second of his career.
Giannis has absolutely crushed us this season, and we haven't really done much to stop him. Here are his 3 games against us this season:
| Date | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Blocks | Steals | Turnovers | FGs | 3Ps | FTs | Game Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-24-2018 | 32 | 18 | 10 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 12-24 (50%) | 0-3 (0%) | 8-9 (89%) | 30.7 |
| 3-17-2019 | 52 | 16 | 7 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 15-26 (58%) | 3-8 (38%) | 19-21 (91%) | 50.4 |
| 4-4-2019 | 45 | 13 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 13-22 (59%) | 3-7 (43%) | 16-21 (76%) | 43.6 |

Welcome back Punt Fans, to your earnestly-niche weekly Special Teams analysis column โ yes itโs /r/NFLโs own painfully protracted and statistically questionable Punt Rank! If you havenโt been here with me before, the concept is both simple and fantastically over-engineered. Lemme break it down:
- Each punterโs performance against five vital punting metrics is ranked against every other punter in the league.
- Those rankings are combined into a weighted average ranking โ giving us the 2021 NFL Punt Rank. Punt Heroes rise to the top; Punt Zeros sink to the bottom - and then I write 1500 largely redundant words explaining it all.
Last weekโs post and Week 14 standings are available here for the archivists, and this weekโs update is just moments away.
Iโm excited to get your perspectives on your teamโs punter, so please hit the comments below with your feedback and questions, as well as pointing out anything you think I missed. Let's hit Week 15.

Week 15 Punt Performance Summary
Grey highlight - IR/NWT/Part Time Punter.
Good Week for
Bryan Anger (DAL, +7 to #6). Thereโs a lot to be said for consistency. Consistency is stable. Consistency is comfortable. Consistency is unlikely to give you a heart attack on fourth down with a shanked punt out of bounds inside your own half. But consistency doesnโt always mean great results. Dallas had guaranteed consistency in Chris Jones โ long time punter, long time cure for narcolepsy. In the latter stages of his career, Jones was an exceptionally consistent, and exceptionally boring punter. Short kicks, good hangtime, lot of fair catches, bottom 10 punter. This week, the Cowboysโ consistency dial got turned up to 11 as Bryan Anger went HAM on what good consistency looks like. Angerโs four punts in the Cowboys divisional win against the Giants are worth documenting individually, such was their metronomic brilliance:
Bryan Anger punts 32 yards, fair catch by Pharoh Cooper at NYG-9, 78% Available Field covered.
`Bryan Anger punts 36 yar
... keep reading on reddit โกThe 19 year old 7th overall pick has his 2nd highest scoring game of the season (career high is 26) following a 15 point night yesterday. Heโs been very impressive in his limited minutes this season, showing incredible athleticism along with veteran level strength and defense. Heโs even shown great ability to hit 3s despite being considered a bad shooter pre-draft. What are your thoughts on Kuminga? What could be a reasonable comparison/ceiling for him?

Our Concept for Season 4:
Everybody will live on one island, think Hermitcraft Season 8. There will be no shopping district, everyone will set up shops wherever they want. The island is around 2000x2000 blocks big, with a variety of different biomes to suit everybody. Outside of the island only builds such as no hidden/decorated farms will be permitted. We have an economy and sometimes a bit of roleplay going on.

The race he missed out on Q3 was Brazil, where he had only one hour in FP1 to learn the Interlagos track before sprint qualifying began.
Although the race results weren't quite there until Abu Dhabi, Yuki began to show his underlying pace in the last third of the season after losing confidence in the car in the first two thirds. Here's hoping that he can deliver a strong sophomore season alongside Pierre next year.
