what a baby

have to assume both of his teams have pushed an army of the top sports psychologists money can buy onto simmons, but they are failing miserably to get him to wrap his head around the proper method to "move on" from something that is weighing on you

Simmo the Savage

everyone: just take the L ben
ben: no it is not my L please remove it

Should have been an interview with PASS magazine.

lol

DISH

the phrase "SIMMO THE SAVAGE" is really difficult to deal with on like a number of levels

its insanely australian

saying it to myself in an australian accent and i’m really disturbed

fav aussie accent hack: say "rise up lights" to say "razor blades"

Simmo the Savage sounds like one of the underbosses in a Mad Max movie.

haha otm

I was going to go in on that name but figured nah that's just par for the course nowadays. Heartened to see y'all found it as eye rolly as I did.

I just saw my first time Harden clapping for the ball while Embiid is doing his thing.

just letting him know hes there lol

Available Warriors for tonight against Denver:

Jordan Poole
Moses Moody
Jonathan Kuminga
JTA
Kevon Looney
Damion Lee
Otto Porter Jr.
Bjelica

Expect to see some of Chris Chiozza and Quinndary Weatherspoon too

they were mad about when the league rescheduled that game and said no were not coming

great night to be starting kuminga in fantasy, i am predicting… for myself

sengun really has some of the worst bacne i've ever seen in the NBA

Who's your all-bacne starting 5?

i'm sure i've posted about this before but i got to sit in the courtside press box once around 2006-2007 when the jazz were in town and carlos boozer's juiced up roid zits were, from a couple feet away, some of the most intense body horror i'd then experienced

i guess we'll see where it goes but cade cunningham is just weirdly unflappable for a rookie.

between him and mobely two guys from this draft already looking like obviously very good players

sucks for the guys he was posting up lol

lukas a hot head

Luka Doncic got T’d up at the end of the half after he took umbrage with Rudy Gobert tossing him the ball and expressed his feelings. It’s officially Doncic’s 13th technical foul of the season — 3 shy of a suspension — after his last one was rescinded.

not sure cade will ever be a mega scorer but he def looks like he’s a winning player. gonna fill up the box score every game

luka is def still mad from the last game the mavs & jazz played where gobert stopped him at the end of the game but the league later said it was a foul

xp the nice thing about him is he probably doesn't need to be a big scorer to be the best version of himself--like imagine him playing off a high-usage big man where he can make plays and facilitate and score when needed. what a dream.

tbf hes putting up a lot of points for a rookie, like maybe hes not scoring champion material but this is a guy who knows how to score the rock (the ball)

"lead guard" 23-6-8 on good shooting seems not unreasonable for peak cade

oh yeah he's going to score enough with his touch and outside shot, it's just great that it feels like he can find other ways to impact the game.

everyone says it but it's worth repeating that he also just plays hard, i really hope he keeps a hold of that even as becomes a big time player.

salute pop

With tonight’s win over the Lakers, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has tied Don Nelson for the most regular season wins (1,335) by a coach all time.

He’s playing a different game out there

how the hell did that pass work

big video game

lol yeah it looks like a glitch

luka put up 35-16-7 on 12-23 FG, 5-11 3 PT to beat a full strength jazz team tonight

the seeding permutations in the west are starting to get very interesting

would be good if he came into the season guns blazing like this
