Has ben Simmons gotten better at anything

His offensive repertoire def seems to have plateaued

Warriors up 10 with 2 mins left what’s going on

blazers couldn't get a shot to fall to save their lives since about halfway through the fourth in the main, warriors playing with a surfeit of effort

Eric mf paschall 34/13 to follow up his 25 point effort

Birthday magic.

weird league

paschall's shot is funky, the way he jumps super high and sorta kicks his feet out. i get non-crazy lance stephenson vibes from him.

His shot is pretty wonky. Has nice touch around the rim tho.

Just had a very chill 5 minute convo with Kevin O’Connor. Nice dude.

Aron Baynes is owning for the Suns. Last night in a game the Sixers needed Ben Simmons to step up with Embiid out, Baynes put the clamps on Simmons. On the season, Simmons is shooting only 40% in the half-court, 56% from the line, 3-for-14 on post-ups, and still hasn't tried a 3. pic.twitter.com/cUKDZb4slT

The whole Ben Simmons thing, going back to before college, was “we’re waiting for him to try”

Wow John Collins suspended 25 games

jesus whats goin on in the nba

The NBA announces a 25-game suspension for the Hawks’ promising forward John Collins for testing positive for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2)

hawks went from league pass team to bummer real fast

league deciding to crack down on peds?

celtics are playing something called "cleveland" tonight not really sure whats going on anymore

Lot of worried NBA trainers right now I’d imagine

gotta revise the smoothie recipe

Wade got out just in time

lmao

Anthony Davis says he never said he considered going to Chicago next summer. He said he is focused on winning a championship with the Lakers, everyone is aware he’ll be a free agent and “we’ll see where it goes.”

Fuck that Collins news just broke me. Glad they have Jabari now

The NBA rather obviously has a doping problem that has accelerated over the past decade while other sports were able to at least stall it

every player suddenly got superman shoulders 20 years ago.....lol

A lot of “late bloomers” who became more athletic than anyone ever at their position

lebron "i spend 7 figures a year keeping my body in shape"

how much does it cost to make untraceable juice

ask brady

he will just say do lots of stretching and dont eat carbs

my understanding is they can only test for stuff they know about so u can just like change one molecule and youre in the clear, which is why all the sports thatre serious about testing use the bio passport approach where theyre basically testing for the effects of drugs rather than the presence of them

From what I’ve read the benefits of steroids can last a decade after use. I’m pretty sure that lots of kids start juicing in high school and avoid any serious testing there.

Does the NCAA ever catch anyone? They probably test wrestling pretty well because people can die

I find the supplements excuse to be so lame. Like I know it has happened before but come on. If you’re pushing the boundaries on supplements you’re probably cheating in other ways.

Man that Warriors game was a blast! That was some Bad News Bears shit.

bringing the bad news to opponents!

it's pretty rare for the ncaa to catch PEDs... florida's QB got a one year ban a few years back but i can't remember anything else off the top of my head

speaking of whites who should be traded hayward has 30 w a quarter plus left

i remember looking up hayward's max once and it was surprisingly low like he had never scored 40 in a game iirc

might get it tonight

this isn't backed by data but hayward never seems to get a high volume of 3s or free throws, so his big scoring nights are like this where he goes 15-15 on 2s because the cavs have absolutely no one who can guard him.

watching celtics cavs and kevin love is absolutely jogging through this game wonder if hell ever be traded

marcus smart has just been working him tonight

40 is haywards career high, he has 37 w a few minutes left

the nation holds its breath

celtics are also only up by 3

hes going to the line

side out actually
