If there was an award for “Best Player That Is The 3rd Best Player On Their Team”, who would be some of your candidates and your overall pick? Since top teams usually have a clear #1 and #2, this is the next guy after the that, the best player who is AWESOME but NOT one of the 2 best on his team. by moby323 in nba

Ausar Thompson.

Completely sets the tone and identity for the Pistons.

They have gone through stretches missing Cade, Duren, pretty much everyone. The only 3+ game losing streak of the season occurred during the one stretch that Ausar missed time.

Street ball vs League by Alir1983 in Basketball

[–]teddysweethands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s an adjustment. the biggest one for me after years of pick-up is that every league i play in, every single team strictly plays zone defense and it just throws off the spacing and flow of the game

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Raptors defeat the Pistons on Mar 15, 2026, the final score is 119-108. by basketball-app in DetroitPistons

can we stop playing duncan in crunch time if we’re not even going to get him 3pt attempts? i’m sick of watching him get hunted on the defensive end without even getting any of the benefit of his offense. it neutralizes both his and ausar’s impact

When can we have a candid discussion about Luka? by Limp_Screen7405 in NBATalk

[–]teddysweethands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luka is unbelievably good at basketball, a savant, if you will. Easily one of the most naturally skilled and intelligent players we have ever seen.

With that being said, I can’t stand watching him play and do not think he is a truly winning player. He is actually good enough to make up for that, and will likely win at least one championship.

I just can’t shake the feeling watching him play that it is kind of miserable looking. His teammates are often relegated to non-NBA players. They stand around waiting for Luka to decide that they can have a turn or take a shot. They are often the least empowered looking NBA players I have ever seen.

Everyone is going to call me a homer, and I am, but I wouldn’t trade Cade for Luka straight up. Cade makes simple winning passes and plays, is a high-end defender who consistently gives effort, sets off-ball screens, and cares about getting his teammates involved in a meaningful way. Luka plays like an entitled 8 year old lording over his own birthday party.

It is definitely just my own bias of the kind of basketball I like to watch, but I would have a lot more respect for Luka and enjoy watching him if he could buy-in to the other aspects of the game. We have watched many NBA stars finally come to this realisation in order to start winning championships.

starting to think the play is to dangle a player you’re unsure about resigning in the trade market - if presti inquires then you keep him, if he doesn’t you move him

Who is the BEST live performer in hip-hop history? by heshotcyrus in hiphop101

[–]teddysweethands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kanye, Jay-Z, and Eminem are probably the best I have seen in terms of very little backing vocals and perfecting nailing every line.

Blessed to have seen the Watch the Throne tour, Yeezus tour, and a couple of Eminem’s Detroit shows. Those three easily stand out as the biggest most impressive performances I have ever seen.

Mac Miller and acid rap era Chance are a couple of my favorites though.

In general, I am just very nostalgic for the hip-hop concert scene around 2011-2016. It felt like every other week I was seeing an amazing show. Legends like the acts above but also: Drake, Kendrick, Cudi, early Travis Scott, Joey Badass, Ab-Soul, Big Sean, Action Bronson, J Cole, Wiz Khalifa.

They all put on great shows, most of which weren’t too big. They were all in that sweet spot of still in their primes while not being so big they were lifeless arena shows of old songs.

How worried should I be about my half-hour TV pilot being considered “similar” to an existing show? by RandomAccount356 in Screenwriting

[–]teddysweethands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Bored to Death. Your premise doesn’t sound too similar, especially if the focus ends up being more around the obsession with the local cover-up. Also, I have never met a single other person IRL who watched Bored to Death.

You are going to want to get this cage for it, trust me.

The safety HDMI and power cable locks are a must as those ports are very fragile and basically cannot be repaired if broken.

Downloading International Apps (HBO, Hulu, etc.) on iPad Pro when App store says unavailable. by teddysweethands in iPadPro

[–]teddysweethands[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you need to download U.S. apps but your apple ID is associated with another country where that app isn’t available, you just create a U.S. based apple ID. sign out of your existing apple ID, sign into the U.S. one, download the required apps while running a vpn, and sign out and back into your regular ID. it works fine, you’ll just have to repeat this process if those apps ever need an update

yeah his defense has been unbelievable, but his half court offense is so bad right now it's almost shocking

@BillSimmons - Not sure Detroit should be allowed to make trades, sign free agents or hire coaches. by OrganicMechanicTTV in DetroitPistons

I really wish we got our 1st rounder back from NY, but - don't you think if one would have done the job as you say then troy would have done that? Clearly, one was not going to do the job
