This is why you don't proclaim ROY favorites even before the season starts. Unfortunate.

Sixers official announcement below:
Spoiler:

****. Terrible news for the Brooklyn pick.

So who's watching the game between our 2017 ECF opponent vs. our 2017 Finals opponent?

No luck.

Luck ...,

3 years ago they drafted a player just off an ACL surgery knowing he wouldn't play the following season.

2 years ago They drafted a center who played half a college season with back issues along with a euro under contract.

Last year They drafted a player that plays the same position as the aforementioned players and planning all being healthy, created a log jam this year.

Simmons issue is unfortunate, but the other issues are simply asinine mismanagement.

Psssh. This Warriors team is nothing special. Curry can't even make an open three. KD scoreless in the 1st.

Per rotoworld it is the dreaded jones fracture for Simmons. I have no love for philly but this is a really, really unfortunate turn of events for them and Ben Simmons.

I really hope Mcgee makes a team. He's been missed in them Shaqtin highlights.

Obviously it's just their first game, but right now, based on what I've seen, KD looks kind of lost being in an offense predicated on ball movement. And Klay Thompson has always had an itchy trigger finger, but he looks really eager to get that shot off tonight.

Again, they've only played 24 minutes together but that chemistry will definitely be something to keep an eye on during the preseason.

Just kidding with the post. They got so many open looks in the 1st half it's not even funny. KD and Steph are gonna knock those down when it counts. Warriors will be alright.

No clue where to post this, so I'll put it here. Nba.com just did another 'F U non-mobile users' redesign of their website. Wow, what a pile of ish. If you're trying to browse it on your laptop prepare a bucket so you have somewhere to puke.

Now I need to find another site to check boxscores. Anyone has any suggestions? Don't say ESPN.

I don't get it. Is future of internet really a bunch of dumbed-down sites where people just scroll and watch 5 second vines and memes? How can you read an article when you have to scroll 12 times to read a page? /rant

I would love Nerlens Noel on this team. Add him to our defensive core and we are the top D in the league. Nerlens is quick enough to guard 3-5 and he gets off the ground incredibly quick. I think Philly will let him walk this offseason as well.

I would guess it is just ESPN in general, which is pretty much garbage.

Marvel · Post #1735 » by **Marvel** » Sun Oct 2, 2016 8:46 pm

Yeah it is but in terms of simplicity and easy to navigate ESPN boxscores still my go to at least for me. I only ever visit ESPN for the boxscores anyway.

Montiejunas qualifying offer has expired but he has not signed with any team yet. What happens now? Does he sit out the season and become an UFA next offseason? Will he still be RFA next offseason? Anybody want him in Boston?

Coach Earl be like screw rebuilding, we're not tanking, let the youngins earn their spots, we're gunning for the playoffs!

EDIT: I'm in favor of any and all moves by other teams to keep the Nets pick as high as possible.

Rich Paul has to be every GM's least favorite agent. Can't say he doesn't do a good job for his clients though.

Wade and Butler knocking down threes and out to an early lead on the Bucks. Rondo looks very strange in a Bulls jersey. Bucks jerseys are awful. Utah-Portland is the second game on NBAtv tonight. Should be an intersting one to watch.

Green89 · Post #1740 » by **Green89** » Tue Oct 4, 2016 2:12 am

Awww, Dwade only played 12 minutes in his Bulls debut. What a freaking little way-past-his-prime primadonna. Hate that guy.
