Is Leonard out the whole year?

 

Almost definitely

 

They're never going to tell us anything about it because it's Kawhi, but everything in Kawhi's history suggests he's not coming back this year even if he's cleared by the time the playoffs come around.

 

I just forgot about his injury until I saw you had them at 10. So I assumed that was the case but had not really looked or read. Been focused on the Cavs title run

 

Bankz come tell everyone how good chicago will be

 

I could see Chicago getting as high as 5. The 3 credible defenders they have are gonna be taxed pulling that defense out of the shitter though

 

Trying to predict 1-8 in the West is impossible. The difference between 3 and 8 is probably going to be which team's star play 8 more games or something like that.

 

Lol Philly in ruins

 

This is going to be fascinating moving forward.

 

It's almost like Ben Simmons doesn't have any desire to be in Philly.

 

He should of waited until game two to avoid the home crowd

 

This is shocking stuff. Who could have seen this coming?

 

Harden playbook

 

Morey better do a cut up of his halfhearted practice and send it around the league. May be the only chance to add to his value.

 

Ben Simmons fat suit here we come

 

Need that Miami photoshop

 

At this point I NEED to see him playing for Philly at home once before he is traded.

 

Let’s see if he stays in the East I think you can pencil in “load management”/didn’t make the trip for at least two road games/year.

 

Honestly who cares

 

Start recruiting your country mate Bodgan

 

Watching the aftermath of Kevin Huerter ending the 76ers is great

 

I HAVE to see it at least once

 

It’s a good thing Adam Silver and the league did nothing and gave him exactly what he wanted, definitely set a great precedent for star players going forward

 

Honestly Nets and Sixers should be on the phone right now trading their problems. I hope they dont but they should do it.

 

Maybe misreading the room but it doesn’t see lm like ppl there hate Simmons. I get the vibe that they just don’t respect him, which is akin to the opposite of hate being apathy.

edit: opposite of love, or whatever

 

Jo just taking a dump on Ben. Amazing.

 

Imagine playing 27ft from the basket as the games best post player and having this be the culmination lol

 

Or Anthony davis before that

 

Jokic for Simmons who says no
