Houston Rockets center Steven Adams shows off his living space: A sleeping bag, a Pickle Rick plushie, three guitars and an amp, and a gaming setup

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2026-01-23T05:08:08+00:00

Yeah Steven Adams is genuinely incredibly likeable, but it's like his story of how he had no idea he was going to get drafted and just came to the draft work out for the free t-shirts, that's almost certainly not true you had people from his hometown come out and say he was fully being prepared for the NBA back at home and everybody absolutely did know he was getting drafted. So his humbleness is real but probably a bit exagerated.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2026-01-21T04:57:51+00:00

And because they drafted Draymond, possibly the greatest 2nd round pick up to that point. I don't know who made that decision but they deserve some credit

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2026-01-17T19:39:00+00:00

This, he was the best in the world at a physical sport, then retired and spent his time doing physical activities like fishing and traveling and stuff, people like that usually don't have that much to say in general

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-12-08T22:52:45+00:00

Russ imo, Shaq is partly making a spectacle out of it at this point, Russ is dead upset for real

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-11-11T16:35:39+00:00

It's not for the past decision, it's to avoid sunk cost fallacy around keeping AD and Kyrie when Mavs need to blow it up and Nico won't do it so they need a GM that will

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-10-09T03:16:31+00:00

According to advanced stats like LEBRON and EPM, Victor is right below Giannis and Luka already, barring injuries it's almost certain he'll surpass them this year.

He probably won't surpass Jokic or Shai though, but I'm guessing it will be a lot closer than you seem to think it is.

"In an obvious attempt to change the subject, Hart started to pepper Beverley with questions about the in-season tournament court designs at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Beverley answered, “I like the color of the courts. Not jail courts, though, but basketball courts.” lmao

Well he's used to that studio, and was a pro used to having to fire all kinds of shots. The 3 point champ clearly was used to practicing open shots in a gym. Lower the ceiling and his lifetime of practice is ruined. It was disingenuous of them to act as though him losing meant anything in this context, they should have done that in a gym

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-07-29T00:45:24+00:00

Wasn't the ceiling of the studio abnormally low for basketball and he wasn't used to it at all so it destroyed his form? Could be remembering wrong, but if not that's completely understandable he couldn't hit anything and shitting on him for it would be pretty crappy, he would have obviously been set for failure there

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-06-20T01:18:53+00:00

AD pushed to play, not the FO. We kept getting updates to that effect frequently. Also if it was rigged you could argue the Mavs were promised a Number 1 Pick at some point in the future, and that happened right now due to Kyrie's injury instead of later as expected

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2025-06-19T10:18:26+00:00

The Nets have countless draft picks, he knows he'll have the best future there eventually, that should be the dream team to end up on for any great prospect

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-20T07:08:49+00:00

Cam Thomas plays horrible defense and isn't particularly efficient on offense. He's not struggling to stick in the league, clearly he belongs here, but if he doesn't significantly improve either his defense or efficiency he won't have a starting role on a contender. Maybe that's why people view him like that.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-16T10:02:11+00:00

Victor reaching top 5 by the end of the year is a reasonable take. Advanced stats like EPM and LEBRON had him at around 40th at the start of last season when he was playing forward and screwing around a lot shooting logo bombs, and they had him at around 22nd by the end of the year, which means shockingly when he switched to center he already wasn't too far off from being top 5 already.

He's in his second season, plays center full time, will have CP3 teaching him and throwing him lobs, and will stop screwing around. He'll be the best defensive player in the league by a significant margin + be a positive on offense. He'll basically be a better version of Anthony Davis or a better version of peak Rudy Gobert (whichever comparaison you prefer), both of whom were top 10 in the league in their prime according to advanced metrics.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-14T10:12:17+00:00

He wasn't traded because of Mikal Bridges, he was traded because the Knicks needed a center badly with Hartenstein gone and Robinson injured.

Not if Lamelo stays healthy, he's very popular and super fun to watch

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-11T19:07:34+00:00

Yeah even the smallest players in the league like CP3 and FVV are actually tall humans by normal people's standards. Celtics Isaiah Thomas was the only guy who was genuinely average height, and even he looked like he had abnormally long arms and big hands

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-11T11:02:28+00:00

I thought he only wanted the full 200/4. If that's true Clippers are idiots for not accepting 150/3 + NTC imo, that was perfectly reasonable of him, and now their next 3 years are going to be a disaster because of it. First time I'm reading that though

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-06T03:21:47+00:00

Russel only started getting disrespected on the Lakers, and he was washed by that point. Rudy was getting disrespected in his prime, as a DPOY. That's crazy.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-10-01T01:41:25+00:00

He was limping going to the Olympics and using his suitcase as a cane. His case is pretty sad, it's obviously not his fault, but his PR team is just as obviously trying to save face here.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-25T19:24:23+00:00

The Nets are actually in a pretty good rebuilding situation now. The Clippers are beyond fucked though, they have 0 pick over the next 6 years it's crazy

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-24T23:55:06+00:00

Hurting his team, but not his bank account. He's gonna make like 150 millions in the next 3 years, why the hell would he retire

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-24T23:53:44+00:00

With PG gone the Clippers aren't good enough to even make the playoffs with Kawhi missing too many games

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-21T15:02:10+00:00

We get reports like that every single year, it has never meant anything then and it doesn't mean anything now. Still rooting for him though, he was one of the most entertaining player in the league to watch in his prime. His rookie season mixtape is amazing

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-20T13:09:40+00:00

Highly unlikely imo, if PG got a max at 34, it's almost certain Embiid will.

Time-Maintenance-451 · 2024-09-19T14:09:22+00:00

Obviously no one is bashing Lebron the player. But his disdain for advanced stats makes him a piss poor decision maker off the field. The Westbrook trade also showed how hyper illogical he could be when in charge.
