I actually think it’s perfectly fine if some players didn’t enjoy spending 90 days away from their families 🤷‍♂️

Its just a hotel atp, its not like they had the amenities running with more than a skeleton crew. It was the same schedule as nba players normally have, just with the exception that they cant travel outside or see their families. 

I don’t blame them. It’s not about where they were, it’s the feeling of being trapped and unable to go or do what you want

I was stuck at home. My house is better than a resort. All my stuff is there. It’s the ultimate place of familiarity and comfort. And I still got sick of it eventually and felt very antsy wanting to leave and be free.

I understand the sentiment. They don’t need to make a big deal of it, but I get it.

I mean, it’s not terrible but NBA players are used to extravagance in their life. Only thing I really have to say about the bubble is that it’ll be the most equal postseason the NBA ever plays. Everyone in the same place, no travel bullshit, everyone gets the same treatment, no distractions, open gyms, no crowd, just hoops.

Apparently CP3 didnt like the furniture in the hotels so he had them all exchanged for new ones by the league.

You’re wondering why people complained about being trapped in a hotel for 2+ months without their loved ones, while the police murdered people in the streets? Just think about it lol

With all their needs being met.

one of the nicest players around

It is HYSTERICAL that Steven Adams has become one of the most beloved players in the most progressive male sports league in the country at the most polarized political era in decades despite following these people on X:

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr
• Tucker Carlson
• Riley Gaines
• Eva Vlaardingerbroek (her bio calls herself the “shield maiden of the far right”. profile banner says “send them back”. figure out the rest)
• Derrick Evans (stormed the capitol on Jan 6, pardoned by Donald)
• and of course Donald himself

Did not omit any remotely left wing political figures. That’s literally it.

He makes no attempt to hide this. It’s his official account. He simply publicly follows a handful of far right figures and, again, a very progressive NBA fanbase that cares about a lot of political things.. just doesn’t care. A few people have tweeted it before but never picked up steam.

Deni Avdija gets hate for the country he was born in and Steven Adams follows people who stormed the capitol and are calling for mass deportations in Europe and hes maybe the most beloved guy in the league

PG and Lou Will have their “vices”

If the bubble has an asterisk, we should put in the footnotes: “certain NBA player such as Paul George and Lou Will suffered mental anguish as necessities like strip clubs were not provided”

Yup

Guys like Lou Will and Harden have their lifestyle they “gotta have” and probably were suffering lmao

If Lebron golfed in 2020 like he does today, he would have loved the bubble.

It’s like how entry level employees vs long time employees view business travel. The new guy is hyped for that Vegas conference. The old guy is ready to go home after day 1

Lou will still left to go to magic City and got some lou will wings

LeBrons comments are stupid and insensitive. 

Buut about hotel food…Hotel food really fucking sucks, even good hotel food. Even like the best hotel food in the world. It’s the cheapest, bottom of the barrel Sysco and it always makes me sick. 

Idk, it can look amazing and you can be at a great place but… it’s just not great for the stomach after even a couple of days. They have to cook for such large amounts of peoples so they buy the cheapest stuff and then make it taste better with butter and suger. 

They got cooked because they had to play Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams for significant playoff minutes

Easy to say that to compensate for blowing a 3-1 lead.

You never see Kawhi making those comments. Just losing players like Lou Williams. Same guy who tells you he deserves to be in HOF because he played real basketball.

Went up 3-1 on Denver and then they went “Nah.” and forfeited 3 straight games 

Yea they won 3 games in the second round. Why would you do that if you didnt want to be there. Fuck outta here.

The Clippers players hated the bubble so much they decided to choke a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets and blew 10+ point leads in the 2nd half of games 5, 6 AND 7

To be honest looked like only Kawhi took it serious, he was carrying them vs the Mavs and also vs the Nuggets, he was balling when they were up 3-1 in that close out if I remember correctly. He did choke game 7 though not gonna lie

But at that point, someone else has to help him and PG and Lou Will were gone

Hell nah they balled in the Mavs series and went up 3-1! including a 19 point lead in game 6

they choked.

Paul “We’re still in the driver seat” George.

didn’t want to have an asterisk throphy besides all the nba championship trophies in their cabinet

Was he the one who snuck a “nurse” in?

This would unironically rock

Sounds like a mobile game. Like that Avengers Academy game years ago

Sounds like it has potential

You know what, let’s go

If Pop were able, he’d be Dumbledore

make a uturn is killing me 💀

I don’t know how I’m only just now learning about this

Christian Braun was probably very confused at the end of his 2nd season in the league. It was his first time in half a decade not winning a championship: 3 consecutive Kansas State HS Championships, then the NCAA Title with Kansas, then the NBA Championship with the Nuggets his rookie season

I like to imagine a scene in the locker room where he was like, “ok guys, that was a tough loss, but let’s get them next game” “Bruh what are you talking about? We lost, the season is over” “How can the season be over? We haven’t won the championship yet”

Certainly not Quinn Cook

Man has played in the g league, Russian league, puerto rican league, saudi league and chinese league

Never won the trophy in any of those.

You would think he could only win on American soil, but he did win fiba under 17 gold and under 16 gold abroad representing USA. [Also g league is American soil]

Or maybe literally every level is actually not literally every level, but only some of them

He’s not necessarily wrong if you take it literally. If basketball is literally all he loves in life (and compared to the world he is exceptional at it) the statement makes sense. He’s just not using it in the context NBA media does.

Savants don’t care about much in the world outside of what they love and excel at. “Trapping” someone like that in their profession for three months is probably heaven.

“Savant” doesn’t mean greatest. Most savants are not LeBron or Kobe level at what they do. But they are closer to LeBron than you are to them.

Yea we were playing for the Hornets

You were in the nba bubble?
