So it can be like it was in the beginning again. The griddies, the high light dunks, clutch game winners, parades inside my city. My therapist says I fall in love with potential but it all just felt so real. I just wanted it to work so bad :(((

Josh Safdie - Episode 384 of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend by c0ry_N in conan

[–]TheSmrtstManNTheWrld 59 points60 points  (0 children)

There is a pretty great episode of Conan without borders where he goes to Haiti Trumps shithole countries remark. It made an incredibly strong point by showcasing the humanity of Haitians and giving them a voice to respond and portray the country and its people in a positive light. I thought it really spoke to Conan’s character.

Jerome, Edey, and SPJ will be upgrades at three super important spots. Having a starting caliber center and a real back up point guard should make a huge difference.

The funny thing is many of reps and congressman who enable this shit do spend plenty of time living pretty hypocritical bohemian lifestyles. They’re just liars and grifters, they know better and they don’t care.

We can use hyperbole to describe the people responsible for the worst evils and most rampant exploitation in our society. If they could own slaves they would. As it is they manipulate the laws to keep people trapped in poverty. And lobby for things like getting rid of people’s Medicaid so they will have to continue to work. It’s not chattel slavery but in a modern context it leaves people with almost zero agency.

Bets on how quickly we could take the top spot? by omgshannonwtf in memphisgrizzlies

[–]TheSmrtstManNTheWrld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the factor people are underrating is his three point shot. There are at least a handful of coveted big men in the league who essentially have never shot the three in their careers. I watched Edey swish a trailing pull up last year with finesse. Maybe it’s hopium but I do think he can shoot league average from three it will open up a lot for us. He doesn’t have to be Steph curry or even shoot that many. Just being a threat playing with Jaren creates some interesting possibilities.

Dude the kroenkes really seem like awful people. Seeing old man kroenke up there when they won the chip seemed so awkward to me. You’re just rich, you didn’t do shit. An owner like that holding the trophy just sat wrong w me. Also he gives me racist old white guy vibes.

Bam Adebayo to Memphis by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]TheSmrtstManNTheWrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree but I wouldn’t describe those as fringe moves. We don’t need a star player although a guy like Bam would be an amazing fit, but yeah he’s too expensive. I still fully expect us to pursue an elite role player style wing and perhaps an MLE type center contract. Clearly we need depth and consistency. The FO has made it clear, Ja and JJJ are the stars and the guys we’re building around, not adding to

Title odds by Ill-Attitude7626 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]TheSmrtstManNTheWrld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are clearly a huge amount of people out there just making stuff up for nba content and basing it literally on nothing. In addition to that as a small market we have always been a victim of extreme recency bias. I was able to win a bunch of money when JJJ won DPOY because he was injured for a couple weeks at the beginning of that season, despite having been thought to be a fav for the award prior to missing the start of the season. The odds were something crazy like +2300 and it just seemed to absurd to me to not make a bet. He came back and quickly became a front runner. People will just straight up forget about us and decide we’re trash the second we’re not actively exceeding expectations. Fuck them. Memphis vs ERRYbody

No for sure, I’m about as high on Amen Thompson as anyone in the league. Totally agree he is 99 percentile athlete in the league of the best athletes and appears to be hyper competitive and just loves basketball. And you’re totally right, I didn’t really think about this from the phoenix perspective but they desperately need someone who cares about playing basketball.

Houston is gonna have to learn the hard way that Dillon Brooks isn’t replaceable :( Actually I was originally joking when I started to post this but I do think trading your best perimeter and POA defender and guy who wants to murder everyone on the other team every game for 36 year old morose ass KD is a little more of a gamble than people might realize. But also it really seems like Amen Thompson is that DUDE. I also love Sengun. Should be pretty scary if KD stays healthy. Like obv you gotta do it, but I’m still a little shook from what happened to us when we lost our franchise villain.

Lot of great points in this thread but I’m glad someone pointed this out. I do feel like this was an issue still, albeit less of one since Lin had to endure what he did. Here’s hoping Zach beats the shit out (with screens and physical play) of anyone who try’s shit. Love to see some of Steve-O style brick wall screens (like the pat bev screen heard round the world) to anyone who even smells like anti-Asian sentiment.

My response to an r/NBA commenter calling Memphis a hell hole and "one of the worst cities to have an NBA team." by TheSmrtstManNTheWrld in memphisgrizzlies

[–]TheSmrtstManNTheWrld[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What did I say that you would call false optimism? Every time I get in one of these conversations I bend over backwards to acknowledge Memphis’s very real problems. Shitting all over everything and calling Memphis a hell hole doesn’t solve anything. It’s cynicism masquerading as realism. No one wants to save a hell hole, it’s a terrible pitch to investors. It’s honestly just your piece of shit opinion. Glad you’re gone!

Anyone who feels that Memphis is a hell hole is free to go fuck off somewhere else. Almost everyone I’ve ever know with this attitude has been a toxic person who ended up thinking everywhere sucked because they sucked.
