  1. TLDR: While ADHD meds help with behavior, academic gains vanish after about a year ADHD is not a "brain disorder" - there is no biological marker for ADHD - but rather a condition that one experiences ADHD symptoms fluctuate over time and environments A long term study found that kids on ADHD meds are about 1 inch shorter than comparison group Diagnosis of ADHD is stigmatizing and leads to a loss of responsibility and empowerment An astonishing 23% of 17 year olds are on ADHD meds Thank goodness I was never faced with external pressure to do so (school classroom teachers are the worst and think all "bad" kids need meds), but I would never, ever, ever put my kid on ADHD meds.
  2. fuck anyone who thinks that the play-in was a bad idea
  3. Assuming that Beal is out so he can rest up for Cancun.
  4. If this happened today, you could probably add about 3 zeros to each of these guys' fines.
  5. Mike Gminski scored 41 points in a game?
  6. You do realize games will be played on Sunday, right? You do know that? The only way Minnesota finishes in the play in is if they lose to Utah (which aint happening).
  7. The Clippers have actually been among the best teams in the NBA over the past month - in fact I'll go out on a limb and predict they will win their first round playoff series. Houston's first round opponent could be either Clippers or the Warriors (whichever team ends up 7). Hardwood Paroxysm @HPbasketball If Denver beats Houston (rest presumably) and Minnesota beats Jazz Warriors win Sunday 4 DEN 50 5 MIN 49 6 GSW 49 7 LAC 49 Clippers win Sunday 4 DEN 50 5 LAC 50 6 MIN 49 7 GSW 48 11:29 PM · Apr 11, 2025
  8. But for the play-in teams, East playoffs are set: 1 Cavs 8 play-in 4 Pacers 5 Bucks 3 Knicks 6 Pistons 2 Celtics 7 play-in
  9. Did they really eject Luka for talking to a fan?
  10. Underdog NBA 10:09 remaining Bucks: 71 Wolves: 95 final Bucks: 110 Wolves: 103 Milwaukee went on a 34-3 run to spark a 24-point comeback.
  11. Minnesota, fighting to stay out of the play-in, has been outscored in the 4th quarter 40-13.
  12. I can't help but wonder how different Houston's prospects would be (this year and in the near future) if they had done the obvious and picked Castle instead of Reed Shepherd.
  13. The Western Conference playoff race is on drugs - teams 4-8 each have 32 losses. 4 - Denver Nuggets (47-32) 5 - LA Clippers (46-32) 6 - Golden State Warriors (46-32) 7 - Memphis Grizzlies (46-32) 8 - Minnesota Timberwolves (46-32)
  14. I was wrong. Denver (now losers of 4 in a row) will not be a tough out in the playoffs.
  15. So since 2014, Carmelo Anthony has played more games than Joel Embiid.
  16. I kind of hope Ja continues to lean into it and strikes an endorsement deal with Smith & Wesson.
  17. Nope. It'll be 2032 before they control their first round pick. But at least they are old, bad, and expensive in the meantime, so there's that. https://arizonasports.com/nba/phoenix-suns/future-picks/3572960/ Where are the Suns slated to pick in future drafts? 2025: Least favorable first-round pick between Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves (projected to be No. 29); least favorable second-round pick between Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers (projected to land at No. 54) 2026: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards; least favorable second-round pick between Golden State and Denver (via Charlotte) 2027: Least favorable first-round pick between Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah Jazz; no second-round pick 2028: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Washington, Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers; second-round pick via Boston Celtics (if it lands between Nos. 46-60) 2029: Least favorable first-round pick between Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah; no second-round pick 2030: Least favorable first-round pick between Phoenix, Washington and Memphis; no second-round pick 2031: No first-round pick (traded to Utah Jazz for 2025, 2027, 2029 first-round picks); no second-round pick.
  18. Stick fork in the Suns- they are done. And not just for this year - probably for the rest of the decade.
  19. OMG the end of this Lakers-Bulls game.
  20. It also underscores just how good Boston is (this was without Tatum) and how tough it will be for the Knicks/Cavs/Thunder to win a 7 game series.
