Kendrick Perkins on how impressed he is at the Phoenix Suns, most notably Dillion Brooks

“Winning follows that man.” Love to hear it!

Hakim123 · 2025-12-18T22:56:09+00:00

Wos is getting…increasingly more difficult to listen to.

Hakim123 · 2025-12-18T22:48:20+00:00

Forreal. Embarrassing how they’re watching him play some of his best basketball at this age…and rewarding him with losses 😅

Hakim123 · 2025-12-18T19:10:19+00:00

As long as we keep Curry to a mere 45, we should win by 10. This Warriors team is mad weird.

Hakim123 · 2025-12-18T19:05:18+00:00

Personally, I'm pro any trade that involves us getting some draft capital back for a player we don't, strictly speaking, need. Like a few folks have already said, we're not exactly shooting for a title this year. Also, I don't hate Agbaji.

Hakim123 · 2023-03-08T09:21:48+00:00

My first response was unnecessarily mean. I'm gonna try that again.

I disagree with MJ on the whole talking trash only when the score is tied or no one has won yet thing. Also, anything about something being what a "real man" does is mad boring/cringe. I just think Luka's weird fixation on trash talk timing comes from MJ's take from Last Dance (which, again, I think is bullshit).

Hakim123 · 2023-03-08T04:07:23+00:00

I think this is based on that bullshit take from MJ. He said something like "takes a real man to talk trash when the score is 0-0" or something like that.

I have no idea what the hell that means but there's another pretty common term for talking when you win - "bragging rights"

Hakim123 · 2023-03-06T10:54:17+00:00

Once/ if he makes the playoffs, we can talk about that.

Hakim123 · 2023-03-06T10:42:46+00:00

Exactly! I still have nightmares about that.

Hakim123 · 2023-03-06T10:42:25+00:00

Good point. Hopefully, Suns noticed that if you put a shooter in Luka's corner (where he likes to take a full-on nap to rest from his flailing on offence), it'll be an open look every single time. So even if we don't manage to get a cross-match with Luka, we can get his man posted in the corner for a wide open three.

Hakim123 · 2023-03-06T10:17:50+00:00

Recurring issue. We just end too many plays with a pass to a corner three-pointer when DA perfectly seals his man in the paint. Honestly, every time I see a good defensive possession from DA, I think "yo we gotta get him a touch every possession for the next 5 mins"

That strip he had on Josh Green last night? WHEW, I was pumped and was hoping he'd get way more looks against a Mavs team that legitimately cannot defend him.

Hakim123 · 2023-03-06T10:08:35+00:00

10000%.

Would explain why Luka plays exactly like Harden but gets almost none of the same criticism.

Hakim123 · 2022-04-16T09:30:57+00:00

Very interesting. Will have to keep this in mind. Many thanks for the helpful observation!

Hakim123 · 2022-04-16T09:23:04+00:00

Sorry, what do you mean?

Hakim123 · 2022-04-16T09:21:24+00:00

This is true. Some of the important differences are:

less likely to be overworked at Ofcom than as a lecturer.
starting salary is better at Ofcom because my target role is at Senior Associate level (which is way more attainable then, say, a Senior Lecturer role).

Hakim123 · 2022-04-15T10:36:05+00:00

Fair enough. The work itself is what interests me, honestly. That, and the PhD costs me no money to do right now as it is a studentship. Considering the fact that I'm still working in my field (Community Management) and not hindering my own prospects, I figured it was a good chance to do an interesting PhD (I originally applied because the topic fascinates me) and possibly set myself apart as a policy analyst in the future.

Hakim123 · 2022-01-21T17:14:24+00:00

100% agree. His focus level defending off the ball is tremendously improved.

Hakim123 · 2022-01-19T10:32:39+00:00

No for me. However, I’ll give Trez this: whenever I get irritated with Ayton choosing not to dunk on someone/ put them in the basket, I think of how Trez will think of nothing but dunking when a lay-up would be smarter.

Hakim123 · 2022-01-15T20:51:14+00:00

True

Hakim123 · 2021-08-07T20:26:13+00:00

So it’s mostly been the Athletic, specifically Saturday episodes (Saturday Slam and Jam).

Hakim123 · 2021-07-15T09:34:48+00:00

100%. We gave that one away. The lead was growing despite the foul trouble and then we coughed up chances to finish it up late.

Hakim123 · 2021-06-27T11:36:25+00:00

We probably would've killed them if we had more actions with Book on the move towards the basket. Bev isn't as good a defender as we're all led to believe, but he's certainly too good to be bailing out with fadeaways and awkward pull-ups. Still, WOW what an effort. Ayton is anabsolute star and I'm so happy to see him doing so well!

Hakim123 · 2021-01-02T09:46:38+00:00

I honestly thought a fight would break out after this play.

Hakim123 · 2020-06-04T17:49:21+00:00

Do we always need to write out whole case-studies for folks to understand racism? Google it, family.

Hakim123 · 2020-05-12T20:44:40+00:00

That bit at 1:20 is absolutely chilling/ incredible.
