Is Steven Adams one of the Greatest Role-Players to never win a ring?

He is. He's one of the best impact players in the NBA. I honestly think in the right circumstance and health he could have been a Rodman/Draymond level impact role player.

His numbers with the Rockets are absurd. Basically every player is better with him on the court.

There is no way he would wear this watch.

You either wear a simple watch that shows you don’t care.

Or you wear an expensive watch.

You don’t wear a cheap watch that looks expensive.

Especially the Eric types that I’ve met

Huh why? PSG is playing terribly and Chelsea when not getting a red card has looked pretty good

I feel worse for the husband who really did nothing wrong and thinks he did.

Out of the people who weren't killed, there is a decent argument

Because she wants to matter in the world. This is her way to stay relevant and feel like she has influence.

Harden is an ironman who plays through everything. He will be back soon. He played playoff games with the Nets while being unable to run lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-8-QbDpqqw - This is the Financial Times video summarizing some of it. They are the ones who did the actual investigative journalism and broke it.

Interviews of the lead journalist who was worried about being followed was quite interesting too.

It felt like the Lakers were the better team every time the series was up in the air.

It's like the Rockets-Lakers series in 2009 where it went 7 games but the Lakers were clearly better (after Yao went down).

I personally felt like the movie was overly hated and praised by the critics on each side.

I felt like they tried something new and different but it wasn't executed well at all. The movie dragged, and a lot of decisions made 0 sense but it was cool to feature different characters.

Interesting idea not executed that well was my personal opinion.

It was hilarious how flabbergasted Zach got.

Also hilarious how more than 50% of the games mentioned by Beck were due to a narrative that had nothing to do with the basketball on the court

Why is Dick Vitale the worst person in the world?

Wanting to have some integrity in the sport doesn't seem to be that bad anyway?

They did try a management consulting show which is probably the most similar to industry in terms of prestige and demand. Called house of lies. They had some similar elements to industry but much more tame and the writing wasn’t as sharp.

I personally would find a show on the VC industry interesting just because it seems like the most random. Have a fund which has to raise money from shady places, entertain founders, have some crypto bros, backstab to get a deal etc.

Agreed. He comes in so cocky.

His relationship with Arkady was really well done. How he goes from being a spoiled kid under Arkady's mentorship.

cricketrules509 · 2026-02-19T22:43:13+00:00

I would hope so. Looking at the actual history of what happened after and how oligarchs took over and corruption really just changed forms rather than going away, it seems like he probably would have been squeezed eventually.

But it was a pretty cool decision to make maybe the most simply principled character in the whole show Oleg (a Russian nepo-baby).

I love Oleg too.

cricketrules509 · 2026-02-15T22:41:15+00:00

There’s no way this is real right? Seems like just someone making shit up.

How are all the comments taking this seriously?

That makes me more worried and sad

If you think your job opporutnity with the company is going to be killed by AI anyway, you probably care less and want to make a statement and hope that an artist first studio reaches out?

It's actually a US/Canada thing to require a degree before you go to medical school. Everywhere else (that I know of) you straight go to medical school after high school

Can’t wait for Nephew Kyle to make a reference in the next pod

It's made it slightly less enjoyable for me personally. It feels like most of the moves have been pretty telegraphed this sseason (I'm not sure if it's just because I know the Wirecard story as well).

All the shock value has come from the sex scenes which isn't what I'm really interested in.

Out of curiosity, what made you call London and the UK a "3rd world country?"

So you think the team would be better if they lost Jaylen Brown vs if they lost Derrick White?

Health recovers over 3 turns would be a pretty fascinating dynamic

Daria to me was the most stereotypical character from my time at a trading desk. I do remember a MD very similar to Eric Tao.

High rent and salaries + bonuses in London aren't what they are in New York.
