Re: New Brooklyn Nets GM
Excited to be back. Glad to have this opportunity with what's technically my hometown team. Well, I'm a Knicks fan, but I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life. Born and raised here. Well, born in a hospital in Manhattan, but the point still stands. Can't wait to get started with this team.

Truth is, many have built exceptional teams in the past, yet failed to deliver a ring. If Marcus or any other guy wins a ring with any team, it's his merit.
I went to the finals with the Bulls, lost to Doug, one year after Rhox took the roster, made a few changes and went the distance, it's his merit, I set up a good foundation but winning a ring is way more than just that and I failed to deliver, he didn't.
I also just won a ring with the core TJ built, but if it was easy than Philly would have won before me, and they never even cracked the finals once, and I think one CF only, despite always having a fantastic roster.

hahahaha I still remember where I simmed it OLO.. I was still a trainee at EDEKA. Has to be like ~6-7 years ago?Marcos_Beck wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 10:04 pmThose Bulls x Suns finals were so nice, always a pleasure going up against you Dougie.GreenBear wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 9:14 pmCatching strays here
You're combining both of the epic Bulls - Suns finals. The series you're talking about (23-24) it was tied 2-2 when Marcos stopped putting in a DC, and I had 2 of the 3 remaining games at home.
You're confusing it with finals of 19-20, when the Suns were up 3-1 and my team proceeded to have what I still believe to be the biggest meltdown in CSL history. We managed to lose the next 3, with the last 2 coming at home, where we had only lost like 2 or 3 times all season. But alas, a Podcast franchise was born that day
And yeah, he's absolutely right, I have never led that finals we lost to dougie btw.
I even remember the exact room I was sitting in as I was travelling for work haha. We enjoyed a lot of great stuff together through our lifes guys. Actually what's this league about. In the end I dont care about different opinions because when we are super old - like Jeff old I mean - we gonna still remember.

Re: New Brooklyn Nets GM
I remember that CHI over PHX series. They were doing a live stream sim. Dennis was about to hit the sim button for the 1st ever live sim(maybe) the hype was there. Then he blacks the screen, what a dick More live sims for the finals are needed minus the screen blocking.

You had me until rings are overrated. I think the process is to be enjoyed and fun but the goal is a ring.Flaming Homer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 11:59 am+1Dennis wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 8:52 amThisSilogical wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 8:45 pm

Re: New Brooklyn Nets GM
I say 2-1 before Marcos quit, as his energy was drained that playoffs. Yes he submitted a DC for game 4 but that was while he wasn't focused much, this doesn't mean muxh. I guess I gotta go digging and find the series hahaGreenBear wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 9:14 pmCatching strays here

2-1 and then he submitted a last DC. So you did win overall and congrats though. But wish we could have seen what happened the last 3 games of the series.

Re: New Brooklyn Nets GM
The goal is a ring just like the goal of playing the lottery is to win the jackpot. The playoffs are 16 wins very luck heavy. You play to be one of 5-12 teams in position to win it all then you get sent into a bin where one is picked out.
