Do you guys think Simmons will play in Summer League if he doesn't play this season? I don't. I think the team thinks he's bigger than Summer League. Do you think he should play?

I'm just hoping the foot will be healed by then. This might be chronic. Might have to amputate.

It takes a radiologist like 10 seconds to read an MRI. Do they think we believe they're all hunkered in a dark room somewhere waiting for the film to develop?

It takes a few days for the front office to get their story down pat.

Funny, I got a call from the Sixers ticket people tonight. I bet they're trying to get tickets sold in front of the bad news and I'm not even joking.

He was never playing and we'll never know what that scan actually showed.

They just continuously pulled our collective leg immediately after the surgery. The report of him not playing at all from months ago seems to be more and more accurate. I don't even care that he's not playing at this point. I care that the team is so set on lying for the sake of making a few extra bucks. That's not how you earn a dedicated fanbase, and this is coming from someone that doesn't even live in Philly. I feel for you locals.

I am not so sure I would trust anything out of WIP.

Radiology review could take a few days if they are having multiple docs review.

Given the importance of this scan I wouldn't be surprised if they had it reviewed by a few docs, including the surgeon.

Yeah it's pretty obvious they did this for ticket reasons. He was never going to play they just wanted to milk it. It's embarrassing being a fan of this franchise.
