Do you seriously think Ben Simmons would respond positively to someone like that?

He comes off pretty spoiled and entitled to me. I could see him checking out and shutting down if a demanding hardliner was barking at him. Look no further than the way Brett and Joel have to walk on eggshells when talking about Ben's shooting.

I don't know how he would respond, but that's the point to do it, to see what happens. If he responds bad to it then he is a problem and not worth to have in our team, at that point you trade him.

I tried to tell yall about Jabari Parker's defense. He's been phenomenal defensively this year. So pissed that we missed out on somehow signing him.

If Ben was going to be an eventual hall of famer, we'd have seen it by now. Looks like a career role player ala Josh Smith, to me. Joel is an eventual hall of famer and we're not properly utilizing him by fooling around to see if Fultz or Simmons can develop into a compliment to him.

So Zion just isn't playing this year, right?

He apparently hasn't even begun on-court activities yet.

I agree, he is a homeless Melo after all, glad you're on board!

If Melo keeps it up, I'll admit I was wrong. You really think this is real and not just a final stand of a once proud player?

Melo being washed for 88 games between Thunder/Rockets vs. Melo looking like he still has something for 6 games with Blazers.

Fun Heat Raptors game, Jimmy is basically a full time PG now with Dragic out.

I think he won’t be able to sustain this. He’s just very energetic coming from his 1 year vacation. It’s like the part of the ponzi scheme where he’s showing returns using other people’s money. Once the expectation gets high and things get rough, i think it’s going to get into a steep decline

Actually playing through WInslow down the stretch, Butler being oddly passive. On offense anyway, on defense he's overhelping a lot leading to some open shots.

Oh Jimmy's going now

Would be a really interesting series.

When they're not getting doored by the Sixers, Jimmy and his merry band of 6th men are pretty fun.

You subtweet me a lot. You realize that?

Jamal Murray is a 22 year old doofus. He shoots invisible arrows after he makes shots. I don't expect consistent winning decisions or maturity from him for another 2-4 years.

I actually love watching him do that lol. The Blue Arrow would fit perfectly in a Sixers uniform.

Shooting arrows is much better than the 3 fingers celebrations.

No, he won't keep playing like he did these 3 games. He won't mantain these percentages, but again, the point was that he is not an NBA player and that was just blasphemy. We will see how he does but what I'm sure is that he still is a NBA level player.
