    It used to be the best option but as more PC ports incorporate full Dualsense support, there really is little point in using a Xbox controller anymore. So I don't even think they get the W for that.

     

    The Xbox controller is a really good controller on PC if you don't own a USB cord to make use of DualSense support.

    And was there a 23 FT disparity average for the king series as well? 

     

    Not only that, you can't compare the ridiculous fast pace that Kings play at to the Lakers half court offense.  Warriors were reaching that entire series with the kings on every blow by. 

     

    With the Lakers, they need to contest with their hands straight up to reduce the amount of times they send the Lakers to the line.

     

    Obviously the Lakers STILL will go to the line more times than warriors because of the style they play.... But that doesn't mean they can't reduce the amount of fouls they're committing. 

     

    Even with the Warriors only getting 6 FTs because they stayed out the paint, despite sending the Lakers to the line for 29 FTs... They were one dumb Jordan Poole ill advised 3 away from tying it up. 

     

    Series will be epic though.. 6 or 7 games. 

     

    I think I've addressed most of what you're saying here already.

     

    Series will be really good, though. Lebron vs. the Warriors is always special.

    The Lakers have the paint advantage and the Warriors have the perimeter advantage. 

     

     

    That 29 to 6 free throw disparity though. Warriors just need to defend without fouling and they'll be just fine. 

     

    I mean "don't foul" only really works if it's some outlier game. Kings had 32/29/23/18/25/27/26 free throws last series for a 27/game average and the Warriors were second worst in the league this season in fouls committed. Lakers were #1 in free throws this season and played more inside this game than usual. 29 free throws isn't that surprising.

     

    Warriors getting 6 free throws is the problem. They were already the team with the fewest FTs this season and being afraid of the paint isn't going to make it any better. It's the Warriors so I expect them to make adjustments to pull AD away and open up the basket more, but it's just hard to see those adjustments overcoming a regression to the mean on Lakers 3s.

    Damn what a game 1 in the Lakers-Warriors series. :wow2:

     

    Hard to see the Warriors winning the series with that non-existent paint presence. Klay will play better, but Poole will play worse.

    That's the stupidest thing I heard in a while. The game is buggy as hell. Which clearly means it required more testing/polishing.

     

    The fact it has been in development for a long time is irrelevant as bugs are always fixed near the end of development when the game is in a playable state.


    Redfall isn't just lacking polish was what I was getting at.

  6. I genuinely can't believe Microsoft/Bethesda/Arkane put this out. The AI in Deathloop was bad, but bad in that it didn't provide a challenge. Luring enemies into chokepoints and just blasting a huge group as they funnel in 1 by 1 is lame for a AAA game, but at least you needed to break line of sight to make it happen. In Redfall I'm on some scaffolding outside of a house with my flashlight on, taking pot shots at enemies 20 feet away from me, and they don't even see me. They just go into their "what was that" state and run towards the ladder. :|
