the fox-halliburton backcourt doesn’t seem long for this world. or shouldn’t be, anyway

yeah if the kings were smart theyd try to get simmons for fox and something else
― class project pat (m bison), Wednesday, 5 January 2022 15:30 (two years ago) link
yeah that has been the most obvious one all along

is someone going to step up with a better offer than just fox, prob not
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 15:48 (two years ago) link
i’m sure fox wants out too but showing up overweight and playing like garbage all season have not helped that cause.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 15:50 (two years ago) link
I wanted fox for the sixers in that draft, at least when they were at 3.
There better be some unprotected picks coming back in that trade.

if the goal of the simmons trade is to find a better fit with embiid im not sure if another guy who can’t shoot is really the answer

yeah someone had that recently—he showed up about 15 lbs overweight at the start of the season.

all the reports i saw was that he put on muscle and was ripped.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 5 January 2022 17:49 (two years ago) link
yeah and the doctors were like "no no thats too much muscle, youre over the muscle numbers mr. fox :("

nuggs down 10 to start the 4th, but it’s really more like 20 considering the first 3-4 minutes will be without jokic
― auld gang syne (k3vin k.), Thursday, 6 January 2022 04:51 (two years ago) link
actually extremely encouraging 4th quarter. monte looks good for his first game back. jokic was incredible

Kyrie's return being framed as "How will the Nets adjust after his long absence" and "After months of uncertainty, the superstar returns" is fucking cowardly and dumb for a league that continues to deal with a significant proportion of players out due to COVID while this dipshit continues to just ask questions.

"COVID denier returns to team and puts the league at unnecessary risk, scores 22"

"nets G kyrie irving -- who sucks and is bad -- made his season debut scoring x points and shooting y of z from the field."
― class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 6 January 2022 18:53 (two years ago) link
media response has been mixed, it's the league being cowardly that i'm predominantly referring to
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 January 2022 18:54 (two years ago) link
also should be noted that i love watching kyrie play but this has been tremendously frustrating and he's acting like an ass
should be forced to play the whole game with accordion folders full of "research findings" tucked under each arm.

xxp i think the main unreported story is how nets owner and vaccination advocate joe tsai was convinced to cave on this
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 6 January 2022 19:12 (two years ago) link
given the way the virus has spead thru the fully vaccinated league i'm not sure you can say kyrie is really putting the players more at risk than they already have been. but it becomes a farce and a sideshow when you have one of the most recognizable players only playing road games bcuz he isn't complying with a basic local law in his home city
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 January 2022 19:32 (two years ago) link
i agree with CAD that the story is that the league shouldn't have allowed the loophole and the nets shouldn't have taken advantage of it but I would be fine with literally any conversation about the nets or kyrie coming with an asterisk
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 6 January 2022 19:36 (two years ago) link
i really don't buy that wizards announcer's explanation also. it's not like kevin porter jr is some rookie in the league, that was his third career game vs the wizards. the idea that one of their announcers would be going on three years thinking that his dad was an ex-wizard really strains the imagination. i guess that guy would rather cop to incompetence than malice but i really have a hard time seeing that one.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 January 2022 19:38 (two years ago) link
the alternative, that he wanted to have a go at KPJ's father's felony, strikes me as even more unlikely. i think it was his mind wandering while he was on air. Which is dumb! but i dunno if i'd ascribe maliciousness to it.
