NBA 2021-22: Ben Simmons and Kyrie Walk Into A Bar While Talking About The Lakers

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Joel Embiid: Nick Nurse should stop bitching about foul calls

Also Joel Embiid: I'm going to spear Siakam and act like a clown because i'm not getting foul calls.

He's sneaky dirty. Not as much as LeBron, but not far behind.

Imagine if you will a world where the Golden State Warriors win another title and the Brooklyn Nets get swept in the first round.

What does that do to KD's legacy? What about Steph Curry's?

'Cause, uh, we may just be living in that world.

in the case of James Harden for Ben Simmons, I believe we have one of those rare situations where, ultimately, both teams lost.

Ben Simmons, John Wall and Adele all played the same number of minutes this season.

The Nets did get Curry Lite out of the deal.

 

[iron yuppie]

“How will Ben Simmons impact the rest of the playoffs???”

ESPN tomorrow, probably

 

[DaveC]

it's patently ridiculous that a series has a strong likelihood of being completely over before nets-celtics even play game 3.

Kyrie really looked like he was checked out tonight. The series was 3-0 and basically over already but still, that's a weak performance for an elimination game.

Also, hoping the Pelicans can knock off the Suns. Why the hell not.

From Feb 10:

I fully support rooting for the trade to be a disaster for both teams.

Joe Tsai and Sean Marks should have their heads checked if they give Kyrie a 5 year supermax extension.

I'm sure Jimmy Buckets and Spo have taken notice.

 

[mikal]

This Eastern Conference is so damn good now that I'm already at the stage of just wanting to be held and told that the Bucks will make the Finals. Usually that stage happens mid 2nd round.

i don't think it will happen - but a season where lebron and THE LAKERS miss the playoffs completely, Kyrie and the Nets get swept in the first round, and Joel Embiid and James Harden lead a team to the first 3-0 series collapse in NBA history just might be the greatest NBA season of all time.

oh, and chris paul maybe losing to an 8 seed? :chefskiss:

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

also - side note - KD? man just put down the phone. stop with the social media. you're embarrassing yourself.

putting pictures of Charles Barkley playing with an old Dr. J (on the team that drafted Chuck) and an old Olajuwon, Drexler and Pippen is not sending the message you think it does.

dude still can't get over the backlash he took after joining the Warriors. it's sad.

Jerry West: The portrayal of my character in Winning Time is defaming and I will take my case all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to.

Also Jerry West:

 

[Hewson]

So, in essence the defamation issue with Winning Time is that they make Jerry look too nice and likeable compared to his true self.

more or less.

But, of course, Embiid could do what he often does and go and get hurt. [/B]

Bang!

 

[Hewson]

Let's do this thing mikal.

This Heat 6ers matchup seems very much so to be part of the Philadelphia narrative, for better or worse for Philly.

 

[Hewson]

Hopefully yesterday was a wake up call for the Celtics.
Milwaukee a much more physical team than Brooklyn.
Need to make some adjustments.

I think the key to this series for Boston is to find a way to generate offense inside of the 3 point line. The Bucks are totally ok with letting them take all of those 3 point shots.

Al Horford still scares me from a defensive standpoint. I feel like he can still give Giannis trouble in this series.
