April 24, 20223 yr Awesome win. Healed some of my existential Kevin Durant depression even though I have Memphis in 6. @Wulaw Horn KAT stocks trending up.
April 24, 20223 yr I think ANT will be a better player than Ja. He is going to be special. I especially like what I see from him on defense.

April 24, 20223 yr Ja is gonna have the same amount of life as a scrambling QB that doesn’t slide with as many times he ends up on the court during an nba season Shitty thing about this series….the winner whether it’s Memphis or MN, will face GS who will have a week off If they close out tomorrow

Again - Memphis would have home court and Minny presents more match up issues for GS than any team in the West. Both teams are young, too.
April 24, 20223 yr Ted Cruz's bastard son had a nice game. Can't believe he hasn't been choked out yet.

I really do admire your optimism but what on God's green Earth makes you think he would have played in game 4 if the Nets had won? What makes you look at Ben Simmons and makes you think "that guy wants to play"?

What makes you look at Ben Simmons and makes you think "that guy wants to play"? It's not really optimism - I'm just going off of what's been reported the past couple weeks and piecing it together logically. I don't know why they would have fed that much intel to the media if he was never going to play. If it's a bluff to fuck with the Celtics then why not report something like he's expected to play game 3? Down 3-0 there's almost zero upside to him playing. Obviously there's no way to know. They're getting swept (I imagine) and Simmons will play for them next season.
April 24, 20223 yr Boogie is so bad, good lordJokic should be being spelled a minute or.2 left in the third so he gets that and the TV break
April 24, 20223 yr Would someone explain what a lane violation is? Players are constantly off balanced and stepping In the paint. Klay just had an entire foot in. Boogie missed but never got an extra ft

They are a lot better than expected, and they would make him look foolish for his first game back. He would need several months of therapy and a horde of emotional support animals to be ready for the season opener after getting shit on by Tatum and Brown.
April 24, 20223 yr I turned off the Denver GS game, too many fucking fouls for me. I can't stand games like that and would rather do something productive than watch the game stop every minute for a few free throws.

April 25, 20223 yr It's akin to a travel or a foul. Which is to say, it is a tool refs use at their discretion to control a game. It is distinct from travels and fouls in that, while it is as ubiquitous as those two infractions, it is typically of no consequence to the outcome of any particular play, including the foul shot being conducted. It would be a nuisance for the refs to call every infraction but calling none of them would lead to escalation of the violations such that they might truly begin to impact the outcome of a play.
April 25, 20223 yr Ben Simmons might be the first player to sit out an entire season because he got his feelings hurt. Not a season long injury or a contract dispute. Quit on LSU. Quit on Philly. Now can't show up for his new team.

Brooklyn was stupid to trade for him. Harden ain't great but at least he plays. Simmons' contract, too.

Or he can retire and not get paid I guess.
April 25, 20223 yr They were probably afraid Simmons would play badly and get booed and demand a trade

They may have had no choice in trading Harden, but why trade one head case for another, especially when your roster already has Kyrie on it. I wouldnt want Simmons on my roster for half his salary. Certain guys just arent worth the bullshit, and he appears to be one of them.
April 25, 20223 yr 40 minutes ago, ztejas said: Harden forced his way out. They weren't choosing between them. And Simmons will play for them. Or he can retire and not get paid I guess. How do you know Simmons will play? What makes you think he’ll even play 50% of the games over his contract? Best case scenario is that he dresses and begrudgingly plays just to get paid.

I find it hard to believe he never wants to play basketball again.

I don't remember hearing about any other offers and can't really imagine who would have stepped in with a reasonable offer. Simmons may have given them a goose egg this year but Harden was going to be an active negative force for the team.
April 25, 20223 yr Ben Simmons might be the first player to sit out an entire season because he got his feelings hurt. Not a season long injury or a contract dispute. Quit on LSU. Quit on Philly. Now can't show up for his new team. Completely worthless
April 25, 20223 yr I doubt many LSU fans actually claim Ben Simmons after he couldn’t lead lsu to the dance in his one year and now this
April 25, 20223 yr oof, Phoenix has lost their composure. 2-2 series after tonight. They need Booker back badly.
April 25, 20223 yr I know it’s premature, but fuck Phoenix and fuck Chris Paul. I’m loving this New Orleans team, and Herb Jones is fucking awesome.
April 25, 20223 yr Dunno if this was posted, but Draymond raked Jokic at the beginning of the game today: I really wish someone would break his face after this kind of shit. Denver has nothing to lose at this point, just teach that mouthy bitch a lesson for once.

April 25, 20223 yr Very ref heavy game in New Orleans. There are lots of bitches so it's appropriate, I guess.

April 25, 20223 yr Phoenix probably wins game 5 by 25 and finishes them off in 6, but watching Chris Paul get clowned by an undrafted rookie in crunch time of a playoff game will never get old.

I agree that PHX will probably blow them out and finish it off, but one can dream. And I'm loving the outpouring of hate for PHX and Paul that comes out when they lose, my only regret is it is short-lived, I fear.
