Is Simmons a giant version of Rajon Rondo?

I have to remind myself every time I see a raptors fan post that they are a terrible representation of Canada. Some of them legit act like 12 year olds burner accounts included.

Simmons is one of the weirdest players in history. Rondo Atleast developed his game. I’m not really sure what Simmons has done to get better

Celtics first loss at home. Sixers and Heat still undefeated at home

Seems like boston doesn't have enough talent to beat phili or the bucks.

“Thad’s a pro,’’ the Bulls coach has said several times when discussing veteran forward Thaddeus Young.

That professionalism, however, has been tested.

According to several sources, including a teammate, Young has been unhappy with his role, specifically his minutes, and if things don’t improve, the Bulls shouldn’t be surprised if Young’s camp asks for a trade now that he’s eligible to be moved after signing a three-year, $41 million deal back on July 6.

I'd trust even young Rondo to not completely disappear in crucial games/situations like Simmons tends to do. I usually roll me eyes at the "alpha dog" and "killer instinct" cliches, but some guys just have it, and Simmons has the opposite of that.

Portland is in an odd spot. What can they do? Whiteside and bazemore expire. Could they get anything for them? Do they hold onto Melo for the lulz and ppgz. They could send him to a team looking for a scorer and has a ppg front office and get a small asset.

Dame would look great in Milwaukee but there's no way Portland trades him unless he asks out.

As I was informed recently, defense. He's quite good at that now.

But, I'm sad at how crappy Houston/Utah/Denver are, and how excited everyone gets for the 10-15 Trailblazers just because they've got old-ass Carmelo Anthony chucking up shots. Seriously, Portland was good the last couple of years, this year they will miss the playoffs, but everyone just wants to talk about Carmelo?

That's 2019 player of the week Carmelo Anthony to you.

David Stern suffered a brain hemorrhage and had emergency surgery yesterday.

Melo's comeback has been a nice little side-story to the season thus far. Don't know why it gets people so salty. Mostly just analytics junkies who take **** way too seriously.

Problem is I and a lot of us thought that last year too. Being pragmatic I always used my head to talk myself out of it and not get too cocky or confident, or to let the gut or eye test override realism and data. So I wasn't one of us crapping on Tor like they had no chance, as some did. My eyes made me think they didn't but then I'd see their data and how good they were when Kawhi sat and reminded myself it was gonna be a battle. I guess I'm just saying let's not to get ahead of ourselves, be the insufferable cocky fans, etc because a lot can happen between now and then. And even if we're at full strength you're gonna have LBJ or the Clips waiting for you. It's not going to be easy.

I now i was one of the skeptics but mainly how lack of confidence the team had, like it was surreal for them they way they played.

I know its only 1 game but we looked really god even without Giannis and generally the team seems to roll a lot now with Donte healthy and more experienced.

Im not cocky yet but im for sure damn confident atm especially compared to last year
