Ben Simmons stat line. Out ot topic but I just quickly peaked at Ben Simmons stat page... wow he's a trainwreck now.

Haven't realized we have a terror simp on this board. Surprising

I kept thinking he was Sengun. I guess it makes sense since the Kazars are Turks

More like next 10 years.

Blazers took Deni out with 3 minutes left and done by just 5. Truly committed to the tank.

Is Giddey passing up 3s. Only 3 attempts in last 2 games is really low volume. Has lost confidence after few bad shooting nights.

Still nice to that still putting up a crazy stat line even with bad shooting.

Blazers definitely wanted to lose this game. Simmons could have played.

League has to look at that.

Fines. ASAP.

They will say it was an injury.

What makes me believe in Buz becoming not just good or great but actually elite was the air ball 3 followed by no hesitation in knocking down the corner 3 a min later to basically seal the game.

Matas with 12pts, 12rbs and 3blks. He continues to shine.

19rbs for Giddey is just ridiculous.

Is Stix injured? If not, get that guy off the bench. Vuc needs another 'injury'.

I knew the Bulls would pull this one out though.

Predicting a 3-2 finish to the season.

I just looked at Avdija's current deal and didn't realize it's a declining contract that will expire in 2027-2028 with a salary of 11.8 million. If there are 10% annual cap raises during that time he'll be making the room MLE the year he expires. Absolutely insane value.

dude's had a nice floor game but his shooting has still been pretty concerning. dude is just driving desperately seeking contact and if he doesn't get it he's scared to put up the shot. has turned down multiple open looks at three too.

gotta sort that out if he's going to live up to his next contract

I did say he gets his "stats" but even he said hes not shooting well. The guy is a walking triple double. Even in the games he sucks. He made up for it in the second half thank goodness. But on offense it was awful and ugly.

Yeah, he had a rough shooting night and got off to a bad start. But he rebounded* from that tough start to make winning plays in other areas to impact the game.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Josh has been dealing with an injury since those lakers games. Probably still dealing with some discomfort.

I legit hope we just sit him for the rest of the year so he can get healthy for the play-in. We have little chance of getting out of the 9/10 spot. Just let him rest up and get ready for the (semi) important games.

Giddey’s rebounding is a very underrated skill. A lot of them are contested too.

It allows him to get the ball quicker and make up the court passes to guards that have confidence to leak out. That last Coby dunk is a perfect example.

If they picked Deni they could’ve been picking at 15 or something so not really relevant because Matas wouldn’t been available!

WTH did Giddey get 15 rebounds in the 2nd half? Some weird hybrid of Nash & Rodman.

He was always at the right spot at the right time. But credit to Giddey, he goes after rebounds too. It's really the most underrated part of his skillset.
