EliteSmarts. Checks out. You spelled it right anyway.

I chose that username to motivate me to become smarter as I felt I was dumb. Knowledge is one of most beautiful things to have, so I'm trying to gain more of it. I can't lie, since I created that username, I continued to waste way more time than I should. Thankfully I'm still young being in 25-30 age group. But I feel like I'm slowly getting better at building good habits, just got get rid of bad habits that hold me back. Weed & Porn. Continue to take my meds and I should be on a good path.


This is way too wholesome to be real. Doesn't fit the realgm energy.

I hate this. Of course he won't look good when he's looking over his shoulder after every mistake and then picking up DNP-CDs every other game.

He went down to the g-league and was really bad down there too to the point of being benched there also. He was probably off in practice as well. Even with Fred out, he must know better than to feel super secure with his minutes the last few games, and yet he played well.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

No surprise here. I always remind myself and friends. If girl turns you down, don't worry, there are MILLIONS of beautiful women out there. And to be quite frank, looks arent everything. I always said I rather go for woman with 6/10 looks & 10/10 personality than 10/10 looks & 6/10 personality.

People don't realize, great personality can make the person much more attractive and likewise, beautiful person with ugly personality makes them not quite the looker you thought that she or he was.

Nice floater and mid range game as well

He really controls the pace well.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

If I was NBA star, I would have public profile and make comments on RealGM just for fun. If I do become star in Social Media Business, I'm definitely doing that as well. But more so create topics to get people opinions on the subject

That's the thing. Players know what's what. He came here, worked in training camp, everyone liked him. Nick stopped playing him. The booing makes little sense.

He played pretty well tonight, better than last night
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

You just answered your own question.

Fred should keep resting. No pressure to come back yet. Two fake wins down, 2 wins vs bad teams coming up. Let the young guys keep shining while Fred rests up and comes back feeling closer to 100 percent.

I don't know you personally but you sound like a good guy. Is this a burner account because I don't trust this wholesomeness.

Don't be too hard on yourself, in fact, cut yourself some slack - biggest change ive been trying to make is to change my inner monologue. everytime i catch myself saying "im a piece of ****" or "i hate myself" or "im so stupid" to myself i try to cut it out right away and empower with a positive thought instead

i heard a quote a long time ago it stuck with me
"time enjoyed, is not time wasted"

but ya porn aint the best, and weed being used as self-medication / escapism every day can work the wrong way, its all a balance really

try audiobooks with a single earbud at 1.5/2x speed, that **** makes you smarter and its passive learning you can do while doing chores etc!

It's an L unless Barnes significantly outplays Cade.

Pistons are actually decent right now

Yep. Cade, Saddiq Bey, and Jeremi Grant can all score 20+ easily. Then u have raptor killers Kelly Olynk, and of course Casey himself. It’s such an L lol
Cade, Bey and Grant are combining to score just over 50 PPG on 40% shooting and they turn the ball over about 7 times per game. I'm fine with letting those players go off for 20 points each if they're all taking 20 or more shots lol.

Good to see Flynn string together good games. That's always what held him back imo - inconsistency. He typically follows a positive performance with a no-show; it's even been that way at lower levels of competition e.g. preseason, summer league. Gotta keep it going.

A bigger fear is Nick playing them together, another dwarf backcourt

We won so it didn't matter, I guess,

BUT THE BANTON/FLYNN/ACHIUWA//BOUCHER/YOUNG LINE UP WAS PROBLEMATIC.

Sorry, I needed to let that out. Barnes saved us from that atrocity to end the 3rd.
