David

@funakistats I think he does clog the paint. In the sense that he grabs two or three defenders and squeezes them all together into one corner of the painted area, seriously clogging it up. That also happens to leave a large gap behind him for his teammate with the ball.

Rockets’ paint points per 100 poss’s with Steven Adams… On court: 59.6 Off court: 44.7 The anti-paint-clogger. Always has been.

@lolagucci33 @envyme313 @BleacherReport Well, he didn't get ejected either time he kicked Steven Adams in the groin a few years ago, so I think there's good reason to suggest he'd still be in the game...

@envyme313 @BleacherReport Not a chance

Desmond Bane was ejected for hitting Kevin Love in the groin twitter.com/BleacherReport…

@BleacherReport Even if you wanna call that a flagrant, how is it a flagrant 2? Doesn't seem consistent with other groin shots in the past.

@funakistats So with Steveo letting him get a bazillion rebounds, dunking the ball in off his passes, and sweeping opponents off the road to let him get to the basket easier... he was really an integral part of all those triple doubles, more than we even realised at the time.

809 of Russell Westbrook’s 9,062 assists (9%) have been finished by Steven Adams… more than any other player

@AGD85_ @src1s @DamichaelC No, thats not irony, thats history in a team sport. Klay's barb was about yesterday's game, not history. And he shot as terribly as DB, then had to live with the L.

@src1s @DamichaelC Klay Thompson 4 Dillon Brooks 0 The irony

When Dillon Brooks had the ball on offense, Klay Thompson yelled from the scorers table, “shoot it!” When Brooks missed, Klay said, “We gone live with Brooks shooting it all day.”

@ronhlbears21 @ziggenaka40 @fastbreakbreak He's not required to. Why did DG insist on shoving his way through the man standing still, rather than going around him, if what he wanted was to take the ball out?

@ziggenaka40 @fastbreakbreak Why was db not backing up so dg could take the ball out

DILLON BROOKS AND DRAYMOND GREEN MEETING OF THE MINDS

@fastbreakbreak People saying "He blew right past him and only stopped when he saw JJJ there" are kinda missing the point of a team sport. DB is free to defend like that because Trip has free real estate in their heads.

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

@TheNBACentral They were all really really good at basketball, that's one thing they have in common. That said, one thing they DON'T have in common is not being in top 10 in scoring. That uniquely applies to Nash, of the three of them.

“When it comes down to guys winning MVP since 1990, it’s only three guys that won the MVP that wasn’t top 10 in scoring…Steve Nash, Jokic and Dirk Nowitzki. What do those guys have in common?” - Kendrick Perkins

@DGreen_14 I was really hoping you'd be able to get a 4th ring with a 4th team. But now I can only root for that if/when Memphis get eliminated. Go Cavs!* *except against the Grizz

Im always a little late but I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to the Memphis Grizzlies organization! Been nothing short of excellent since the day I was traded, did an amazing job with my rehab and getting me back on the floor…..

@funakistats And that includes his year in New Orleans! He makes his team better.

In the last 10 seasons, only 2 players have played more than 700 games and had a win% greater than 60%… Steven Adams (706 games, W% 61.2) Patty Mills (708 games, W% 62.2) Antipodeans built different 💪🏽

@TeRikiTakimoana It's such a crack up to read. The writer has done a really good job of capturing his voice, so if you enjoy his sense of humour, it's full of gold.

Got the book locked in and ready to read 😊😊

@blange00 @fastbreakbreak Man plays good at home.

@fastbreakbreak Yeah.. this was at Memphis..

bruh

@RRodallen40 @fastbreakbreak I like a balanced diet. If he's shooting 10 threes and only hitting 2 of them, naw. But if he's gonna make them at 40%, go for it. If he can be a threat on the perimeter as well as down low, all the better.

@fastbreakbreak Good stats but do you really want him shooting 10 3's ...He is too good in the post.

@B44Willy @ThunderFilmRoom Dillon's defense is top notch, when he's playing basketball and not combat sports. But you can't deny that he can have a tendency to forget to "select" his shots, and just pulls the trigger at everything.

@ThunderFilmRoom Dillon Brooks has Tatum in a straight jacket and the only thing people like to talk about is his offensive shot selection 🤦‍♂️ He’s been as important as Ja Morant today

I hope Mark Daigneault & the OKC coaching staff show Lu Dort tape of Dillon Brooks at least once a week & tell him “this is what we DON’T want you to become on the offensive end.”

@ThunderFilmRoom As a Thunder and Grizzlies fan, I kind of hate how much I agree with this statement.

@getsit I like what he does when he actually plays basketball (without taking all the shots for himself), but I really don't like how often he seems to get confused at where basketball stops and assault starts. Basketball is not a combat sport.

@TheLeadSM @Grizz_Lead I'm actually surprised that some of Russ' recent seasons haven't already been worse than Kemba that year. Must have been pretty historically bad.

This season, Dillon Brooks is attempting 14.3 field goals per game and making 39.1% of them (.454 eFG%) Statistically, it’s the worst high-volume shooting season by a guard since Kemba Walker in 2014-15 (15.8 FGA/g at .429 eFG%)

@getsit I dunno. I don't see too many trash cans running around assaulting people for no reason.

@funakistats The problem seems to be that Steve makes the game easier for everyone he plays with, but he can't play with all of them all the time.

🎥 Steven Adams making plays for Ziaire Williams last season… Checked the stats for this szn and Z-Will has only played 130 of his 486 minutes with Adams on court. With Adams on he is shooting: 15/22 (68%) on 2PT attempts 7/14 (50%) on 3PT attempts 🤔

@ZachWil319 @SpacesGrizzlies But they come in pairs now. If he's guarding Luka, who's got Kyrie? I think that's the take.

@SpacesGrizzlies I get Dillon can't really shoot but he always guards other team's best player and usually does well. What is this take? We've got flaws but it isn't that bad

Our wings are so cooked come playoff time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️
