No, hate I just know about some of the issues with her that went on behind the scenes when she was here, but it seems to be working for her in Phoenix!!! |
Even if you have legitimate "insider" knowledge of Diggins-Smith's behavior in Dallas, there's a zero percent chance that your speculation about what's going on in Phoenix reflects a fair and objective assessment.
But, hey, that's cool with me! I'm not here for "fair and objective," anyway. #HateHard Approved |
LMMFAO!!! |
It Aint working in Phoenix personally , but her numbers are good unfortunately so i have to hush when it comes to Leggo My prenatal-Smith |
Makes me happy 😎😎😎

I posted this earlier in the season....
Anyone agree??
"The rims seem weird. Like there's too much room between the hoop and the backboard or something.
And they're an inch wider. "
The rims are driving me crazy -- it's like someone exchanged them for new dimensions

That seems highly unlikely ... when you get up close to the rims, they always look weird. And anyway, if they weren't standard, where would they get them? Custom-made somewhere to be different?

The league is poor. They buy irregular hoops from the 99¢ bin.

ok maybe not the rims being larger....
but I swear there's an inch or two extra between the backboard and the actual rim --

According to the rules...
Quote: |
Each basket ring shall be securely attached to the backboard with its upper edge 10' above and parallel to the floor and equidistant from the vertical edges of the board. The nearest point of the inside edge of the ring shall be 6" from the plane of the face of the board. The ring shall be painted orange. |
I checked my 2008 rulebook and it reads exactly the same on this point.

All rims are the same size ... I have changed enough nets over the years to realize that the hoop looks different up close.
And did you know that two men's basketballs can fit inside the circumference of the rim at the same time?

There's a difference between those two shots. The wedge I've seen before. That second one where the ball bounces and then simply rests on the extension is the one that's unusual.

So everyone in both hemispheres predicted the storm would be our champs and it was obvious from the start. Congrats to the storm , but now I’m thinking should this season have even been played? Did some players give up due to wanting to leave the bubble ? I guess losing isn’t so bad when you get to go home to family after 3 months? Right DT?

TV/Ad money. Relevance. This season will probably always have an asterisk next to it in the League’s history books but it was so necessary to potentially build momentum for future seasons, post-once-in-a-century-pandemic. Also, I at least am under the impression they absolutely would’ve lost more money by not having a season.
