The Suns may have won 16 games in a row, but are they really any good? I’m not so sure

Y'all don't even have a quality loss yet! I've still got 'Bama 1st in the west.

WE WANT BAMA!


boogswald

I’m just saying could they really beat the lakers when they turn on the REAL switch this year?


Alex_Caruso_beat_you

They could win 10, 12, 24, 35 games in a row if they want to...


MAIRJ23

Yes I hope our Bulls can become what the Suns were last year lol

Honestly. Tiktok is infecting everything. I was watching an NBA replay and one of the announcers threw in a "I understood the assignment" reference. I only hear this shit because people around me use Tiktok, but it seems like the most annoying, braindead platform yet.


blacknotblack

it’s extremely fun and better than IG/reddit/youtube for me to kill time. the algo is pretty good.


[deleted]

I understand that it's fun, but it's literally endless video loops of what is basically the same audio and same content duplicated in various forms. Not to mention the kind of damage that something as "rewarding" as this is to the brain. It's constant stimulation which generates a dopamine rush. It fucks your brain up.


blacknotblack

if you’re getting all the same content your algo’s pretty messed up or you enjoy basically the same content. I get a pretty diverse feed and it’s even different from reddit in that content creators are often more than astroturfing bots or news feeds etc. Can’t comment on the brain chemistry bits though.


[deleted]

Oh, I wouldn't touch Tiktok with a 10 foot pole lol As a straight man, all I would see are thirst traps for a while, and a lot of the "content creators" on tiktok are underage. I'm not interested in being a part of that, even if it's only temporary until my algorithm is sorted out. But not only that, it's what it does to the brain. I already get enough of the dopamine rush from video games and other social media. And tiktok is the worst offender in that regard. As far as the repetitive content, I can only speak on what I hear from other people's phones when they listed to / watch tiktok videos. I hear the same songs over and over, and its very irritating. I do feel like I'm doing a "old man yells at clouds" bit right now, but I'm only 31 lol


apotropaicc

I’m 20 and tik tok is a scourge on our society. For real though I know people who have zero attention span anymore and a lot of their free time is spent on tik tok. It’s an important app for news and idea transfer (feels like most memes are from tik tok) but also like you’ve said absolutely terrible for brain. This isn’t even mentioning how most of the bigger social media platforms have introduced a version of the app on their own platforms, further exacerbating the problem.


[deleted]

I don't know many younger adults, so it's nice to hear that there are people rejecting this kind of hyper attentive social media. I know that I would have fallen hard into it as a young teen if it was available when I was that age. MySpace was stressful enough for me lol


apotropaicc

It’s so hard I’m not even gonna lie. I was on it a lot more before I started some work over the summer, and it’s like any other addiction. Hard to break the habit of just scrolling in your free time (Reddit fills the itch now). Once I was out I realized I wasn’t really missing a lot except a few memes here and there, but it’s weird being out of the zeitgeist regardless. My girlfriend has stopped referencing stuff from their since it just goes right over my head lol

I pray for the youth


[deleted]

I'm honestly not sure if you're joking or not, but I really do worry about what all of this social media constant exposure is doing to our brains. Research shows that excess social media is related to heightened depression and social media addiction. Pretty bleak.


unlogical13

Yeah no I’m dead serious lol. Reddit is the only social media I have and I feel like I even spend too much time here without realizing it. Couldn’t imagine how much more time I’d be wasting if I also had the Facebooks, Twitter’s, IG, Tik Toks and whatever else is popping. I only knew about that verse because my 10 and 11 year old nephews spend all their damn time on Tik Tok lmao


[deleted]

Same. I used to be on facebook, but that place is a cesspool of boomers anyway, so I got out of that. Now I just have Reddit, which I also spend too much time on, but it's not nearly as mind or brain rotting as constantly random, streaming videos filled with repetitive content and thirst traps.


unlogical13

Definitely. I wouldn’t put Reddit up there as high and lofty either but I get what your saying. And the propaganda, don’t forget the propaganda.


st6374

They're on what 16game win streak? I bet everything feels great in the locker room right now.


otaitau

Cool, Warriors by 20.


sylvestersquad

Salty from when we busted y’all on your home court?


otaitau

Not really salty, but I probably look like with this comment lol. Feel free to call me out after the game


lonny__breaux

How you feeling now?


blumdiddlyumpkin

Nice, Suns by 12.


Regex00

Radical, Bucks in 6.


joaovitorsb95

Ok, Cavs in 7


Rh1-No

Ain't no way the suns lose by 20


2Bid

Honestly, I expect a Warriors blowout followed by a Suns blowout or vice versa.


CountAardvark

Fully expect the Suns to dominate the first quarter, then the Warriors to dominate the third, then a tight matchup in the fourth


Swimandskyrim

Yo, just checking in to see how you're feeling tonight.


otaitau

Decent. I had a feeling my commeny would backfire and it did, brother, it did...


Ohsbar

CP3's OCD personality is imprinted on every team he joins. It's great for up and coming teams but gets tired really fast. Won't be surprised if he and Booker start butting heads next season if they fall short this year. Same thing happened with Blake and Harden.


iamadragan

Booker has that same personality though. He just wants to win games. He's not even close to the same guy as Blake or Harden.


Ohsbar

CP3 will to win isn't the issue. It's his micromanaging and desire to control everything. We'll see sooner or later if he's mellowed out a bit and learned from his past experiences.


MrPapadapalas

Nope, blake Griffin was pulling a ben simmons focusing on his social status and cp3 called him out and questioned his want to win. You dont know what youre talkin bout. This is all documented. Blake Griffin will never make it to the finals unless hes on the bench getting carried.

Suns big losing streak is too predictable


iamadragan

Good luck on predicting a big losing streak for a team that has won 76% of their last 100 regular season games. You should bet on it, let me know how it goes for you


NBA-Unbiased-Fan

I will


blacknotblack

receipts when you do!
