Simmons was supposed to talk to the press at noon for the first time since June and bowed out.

He's just showing up and trying to do the minimum to get the $$$, which: duh.

― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 16:22 (four years ago)

would be funny if they just kept suspending him for one game at a time

situation not improving

Sixers coach Doc Rivers threw Ben Simmons out of practice today and the suspension came shortly thereafter, sources tell ESPN.

I support Ben Simmons’ venture into performance art

― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 16:45 (four years ago)

You should listen to Doc's tone. He wants no part of this.

― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 16:50 (four years ago)

no you specifically, Matt

― Hannibal Lecture (PBKR), Tuesday, 19 October 2021 16:50 (four years ago)

I honestly blame Morey here, if we’re blaming someone

― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 17:00 (four years ago)

i wish i could call simmons and tell him my try hard but also take a 3 at every opportunity plan

Simmons for Kyrie, let's do this

Sources: Doc Rivers asked Ben Simmons to join a defensive drill today. Simmons refused. Rivers asked again. Simmons said no again.

Rivers then told Simmons he should go home, and Simmons dropped the ball and left.

did a 9 or 10 play their way in last year? i forget

― ciderpress, Monday, 11 April 2022 17:05 (four years ago)

9 memphis beat 8 golden state

― lag∞n, Monday, 11 April 2022 17:07 (four years ago)

if the 2 celtics play 7 nets this year it will be the inverse of last year when the nets were 2 and the celtics 7

― lag∞n, Monday, 11 April 2022 17:09 (four years ago)

which would be fun but maybe even more fun is the nets losing to the cavs

― lag∞n, Monday, 11 April 2022 17:14 (four years ago)

that would be so good

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Monday, 11 April 2022 17:15 (four years ago)

that would be fun for fans of the boston celtics

hear me out what if they lost their second play in game too

― lag∞n, Monday, 11 April 2022 17:20 (four years ago)

congratulations to the eastern conference!

The Eastern Conference won the season series with the Western Conference (226-224) for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

This is the second time in the last 23 seasons that the East won more interconference games than the West.

hard to believe the east in no longer the conference of doormats

figured since the play in games are a weird special netherworld that we should have a weird special thread

'Discontent' between Kevin Durant and James Harden began when Harden showed up to training camp out of shape, per @kevinarnovitz

harden seems like a good teammate, solid culture guy

likable, not weird and baffling

Mavs announce Luka Doncic has started treatment for his left calf strain and there is no timetable for his return

rip

― moullet, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:08 (four years ago)

nba players seem constantly surprised by things everyone else already knows. russell westbrook is gonna shoot a lot of bad shots, james harden is going to be out of shape

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:09 (four years ago)

ah luka that sucks hopefully its not too bad and he can get it sorted before the offs start

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:13 (four years ago)

'no timetable' doesnt sound promising for making it back any time soon

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:33 (four years ago)

yeah

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:37 (four years ago)

mavs without luka yuck. that roster is already sketchy. but the jazz will probably give up four 15+ point 4th quarter leads anyway.

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:38 (four years ago)

apparently the median time lost for a calf strain this season is 16 days which isn't good

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:39 (four years ago)

it will certainly be quite a capper to the Jazz season if they lose to a Luka-less Mavs

― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:41 (four years ago)

rather than specifically giving up big 4th quarter leads, they should probably go up 3-1 and then lose the series, really lean into the art form

― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:42 (four years ago)

we need it

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:50 (four years ago)

the week off here is pretty crucial for them now. if he can come back by game 4 with them down 2-1 i’d like their chances if he wasn’t hobbled. but it’s all very speculative

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:51 (four years ago)

the jazz also had guys dropping left and right in the offs last year so maybe the mavs catch a break themselves

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:51 (four years ago)

also the mavs roster w/o luka looks bad on paper but they’re gonna play a high variance shoot a million threes style game and it will only take a hot shooting night or two for them to make it a series. combine that with the fact that they play small and it’s a very similar formula to how the clippers beat the jazz last year

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 April 2022 17:59 (four years ago)

jazz have not exactly been on fire either

could def be some mavs gamesmanship going on here to mess w the jazz. not a bad idea really

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 18:54 (four years ago)

please don't ruin Luka

― frogbs, Tuesday, 12 April 2022 18:56 (four years ago)

ould def be some mavs gamesmanship going on here

no team that could be gamed that easily deserves to win a playoff series

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 18:57 (four years ago)

i feel like the mavs both don't know when he'll be back and don't want to put a timetable on it for various reasons that likely include gamesmanship
