Hi Loopy people! I’m Very Happy to be here! I’ve been a GME guy since early January - was a low risk investor with a diversified portfolio before that. I don’t identify with the ape meme culture; however I love their investment philosophy, goals and dedication ( I don’t think it would be incorrect to call me one). Went all in on GME for stocks and after saving up & wanting to delve into crypto (I played around with BTC early on but never adopted crypto into my life). I recently settled on LRC and got 2000+ at ~ $1.4 with what I’ve saved since March.
Very happy with my decision so far & I plan on hodling for years if I can manage it.
Just wanted to let you all at r/loopringorg that its not all bananas, bots, and low effort meme-hype posts. lots of silent but dedicated / apeminded investors are here too, and are very excited to learn & be more involved with practical crypto tech.
Thank you for having us - I know we can be a handful.
His TD on Sunday was the most Cordarelle Patterson-esque TD ever. That is to say, a freaky busted right place right time highlight reel play. Is it possible for him to be a 3 down back? Has a WR ever successfully made that transition before? Are the Falcons desperate enough to try it? Is the hype justified?
Sure the games are big and complicated, but why no new Elder Scrolls in ten years and Fallout in six (besides the online RPGs, of course)? They have a lot of resources at their disposal. What's going on in there?
All of the hiring process and off the court aside for Chauncey, I have to say, he has addressed what I think has been the two greatest flaws of our team.
- The obvious - DEFENSE
Melo and Kanter were replaceable, but Dame and CJ much less so. The reality of this problem was always more sobering than many of us wanted to admit. Dame and CJ are not great defenders, and as the primary leader of the team, Dame has not brought that level of accountability to the table. On top of that, they played more mintues than poorly defending role players. How do we fix it?
If it's not going to come from within for Dame, (and the fact that he mostly blamed the team personnel and Terry last year would suggest that it will not) then it needs to either come from a teammate like Draymond, or from the coach. We didn't trade for a player like Draymond, and so that leaves the coach. To have a coach call Dame out in this area, will require a high level of intrinsic respect, and there are only a handful of coaches that I think could do that. Chauncey seems to be one of them, which I did not expect, and moreover he has proclaimed since he got here that he IS going to do that. He has emphasized what we all know, but often forget. Teams that go deep in the playoffs are good on defense, there may be 1-2 exceptions, but it's not even worth discussing it's so rare.
At this point Dame knows that he is going to be held accountable, so we SHOULD expect a change from Dame on that end. Either the team will improve in this area, or we know that Dame is not ever going to be capable of it (or perhaps willing to spend that much energy on that end). I predict we are markedly better this year.
- Offensive predictability
As good as Stotts offense has been, once we hit the playoffs (and occasionally in meaningful regular season games) opponents have successfully taken Dame out of the game because of his/our predictability. Traps, doubles, baiting our guys into iso ball, it has all worked. I can only think of one playoff series that we won where the other team trapped and doubled Dame to take the ball out of his hands and we still won (Denver, 2019). But frankly we lost nearly ever other series, and the reason for that was the difference in the way our opponents played in defending Dame compared to the regular season.

The UL hype machine is in full force. What products do you think are worth it? Senchi's sell out in seconds. 400 DD X-Mids sell out in hours. LiteAF/SWD backpacks 20+ week backlogs. What hyped gear do you ❤️ and what wasn't all that?
