If that dude plays today, I’ll lose it.


i would too but he'll probably just release a jumper video or something :D which would probably still cause me to lose it(excitement) :nod:


Honestly, as ridiculous as that sounds, I’d be excited about that too (as long as it looks normal).

I would say this is because BC wants to give the update himself.

Right, I’m just saying the “surprise” is not him as playing. I doubt they’d surprise Brett with that one.

I'm sure he cares really deeply about what bunch of soft posters who have never played an organized sport before think on a message board.

Colangelo has three (3) 1st round picks in the last 2 years that aren't good enough to start for the 76ers, but the Golden State Warriors are starting three (3) 2nd round picks on Christmas against the Cavaliers and are still the friggin' favorites to win the game. GM that knows how to project talent vs GM that doesn't.

lmao really? I think he cares more than you think, evidenced by the fact that he is still out over a sore muscle that isn't even sore anymore

someone hurt his feewings laughing at his busted shot

Or the obvious answer, the trainers won't let him play. Common sense really. But I'm sure an NBA player is telling the entire organization he refuses to play because some troll on RealGM is wearing a tin foil hat and thinks it's all some nonsensical conspiracy theory based on hurt feelings.

This "pain free" injury is a great gift for Colangelo. Allows more time to pass, so the initial impression can fade. And as a bonus, he has a built in excuse for why he struggles when he come back.

We need a new board rule. When Markelle comes back shooting it like he was pre-injury, every poster that has called him soft, faking injury, not wanting to play etc.... should get a board suspension for a month as a punishment for making our board reading lives miserable for the last 2 months.

You can repeat the same nonsense non-stop, troll a player repeatedly, make up stuff to suit your agenda, as long as you watch your tone and don't get into anybody's feelings :roll: The post quality has been declining lately. Shouldn't be any surprise that you got many good posters choosing to stay away, and what you are left with is this. A real shame. I just wish that the thread was edited to reflect real updates. This way I wouldn't have to click in here so often to see if there is new news.

Aaron Rodgers misses 8 weeks ( 7 games) with a broken collarbone that had 13 screws and two metal plates put in.

Markelle Fultz has missed 8 weeks with a muscle imbalance and you guys wonder why Fultz and the 76ers organization is being questioned on his injury?

I believe he was hurt, but this has gotten a little ridiculous.

im fine with it, if it goes both ways. for me, those who constantly saying: "its all cool though, he needs time to recover this horrible horrible injury" made my board reading miserable too.

lonzo ball has a shoulder strain, an actual injury, and hes out ONE week (for now).

we want to take the next step and make the playoffs, but miss someone with fultz' skills badly (those last weeks were a nightmare). and he doesnt play for 2+ months cause of shoulder soreness and not even playing despite bein healthy for weeks.

how could anyone not understand some fans are disgruntled. smh

btw: i would be more thrilled if he posts a video of him taking and making shots with a normal looking shooting-form, than he announces he will play thursday. the former would indicate his shaq-ft-motion is gone and he might have a chance to live up to the high expectations. if he just says he will play, we might see the early season fultz again. you then better ban me for 1 month in advance...
