guess the worst case scenario for them is lamelo future laker

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 16:11 (two years ago) link

they should have lamelo there for a while... feel like the worst case scenario is that it's an anthony davis, karl towns situation where the transcendent talent can't actually transcend the historical shittiness of the franchise

welp

Luka Doncic is expected to miss Game 1 of the Mavs vs. Jazz series on Saturday due to a strained calf.

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:12 (two years ago) link

why is there no hoop ball tonight again the nba messed up with this scheduling

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:15 (two years ago) link

yeah they couldve staggered the conferences

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:16 (two years ago) link

wonder if there'll at some point be a player who plays their only nba minutes in the play-in games and thus has no record of ever existing

ciderpress, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:19 (two years ago) link

this simmons stuff is just a disaster what the hell man

J0rdan S., Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:25 (two years ago) link

a complete mess

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:26 (two years ago) link

its funny to me an avid follower of "the nets" basketball team

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:28 (two years ago) link

I want Simmons to play long enough this series to shatter whatever false bravado he built up the last 12 months.

Like maybe KD grabbing the ball angrily from him following a late Gm 7 FT miss and pointing to the bench.

we only steal from the greatest books (PBKR), Thursday, 14 April 2022 19:23 (two years ago) link

i've heard ppl on podcasts be like "well even if he can't do anything on offense, you can at least put him out there for 15 mins a game to guard tatum" and i'm like..... are we sure about that? the guy hasn't played competitive basketball in a full year

J0rdan S., Thursday, 14 April 2022 19:33 (two years ago) link

it makes no sense to me at all. someone is trying to save face.

call all destroyer, Thursday, 14 April 2022 19:34 (two years ago) link

yeah doesnt make sense bet he doesnt play

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 20:48 (two years ago) link

maybe if they get down bad in the series they throw him out there cos why not

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 14 April 2022 21:29 (two years ago) link

“no pressure, simmo”

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 14 April 2022 21:57 (two years ago) link

love the idea that theyre just gonna throw him at tatum he hasnt played in a year hes never played for this team he got an injection into his spine a month ago

lag∞n, Thursday, 14 April 2022 22:32 (two years ago) link

my unbiased opinion is they should do it

ciderpress, Thursday, 14 April 2022 22:41 (two years ago) link

if i remember nothing else from my time with musecage it's that all bends to The Arc and thus simmo must play

Clay, Thursday, 14 April 2022 22:54 (two years ago) link

Aw that sucks.

DJI, Friday, 15 April 2022 16:37 (two years ago) link

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2022 16:46 (two years ago) link

Dude is the “Belichick” of bball coaches apparently 😀

DJI, Friday, 15 April 2022 16:59 (two years ago) link

Sources: 2x Finals MVP, Kawhi Leonard is unlikely to play in the NBA Playoffs. Kawhi’s camp and the Clippers’ brass are in disagreement as to Leonard’s availability for the playoffs. This has led to growing frustration from both sides. pic.twitter.com/XHeNvIDmiC

I'm in a quandry. I can't root for the Clips, because they are so unlikable. I like the Pellies, but can't root for them because if they win then the Blazers don't get the Pellies' lottery pick in this year's draft. I just have to sit on my hands.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Friday, 15 April 2022 17:45 (two years ago) link

i guess it's different when you can see the medicals or whatever but the clippers are insane if they ever thought that kawhi was going to play this year incl the playoffs. we've already seen him go thru this and we know what his deal is

J0rdan S., Friday, 15 April 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link

Ugh if any Wolves come down with Covid

idk who the fuck jack settleman is

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2022 17:48 (two years ago) link

haha i didnt even check the source i had just seen wojs tweet about PG and figured it was legit

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2022 17:51 (two years ago) link

jack settleman will tell you and anybody else who'll listen that he is "CEO and founder of #snapback_sports"!!!

Nash with the Simmons update:

Was Simmons able to do any more today?

Nash: "He hasn't done anything yet, so no."

Major return: Cavaliers All-Star Jarrett Allen (fractured finger) will play tonight vs. Hawks in elimination Play-In Tournament game, barring setback in warmups, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

J0rdan S., Friday, 15 April 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

lag∞n, Friday, 15 April 2022 21:28 (two years ago) link
