Is all of this "I know for a fact Ben Simmons was faking and has zero mental health issues" a thing outside of Philadelphia? Because its tiring.

I don't think so, in part because the Nets are giving him a ramp-up period for conditioning.

Watched the whole thing. I am working HARD not to say some of the stuff that was floating through my mind. He’s 22 and he is putting me in mind of a player who arrived in Chicago in the 80s. 22/30 for the 52 and the two highlights in the first with about two minutes of gametime…holy hell.

But…the buzzer beater to end the half tho (and the pass from Adams…)

Watch that full minute clip. The footwork to get ready to try that…fuck me.

The best part is the smile at the end because Morant even surprised Morant. He’s new Iverson.

Now they've burned their NBA title game winning play! SAD!

So what is the rule when a mop crew stops a fast break? Looks like they are considered part of the floor and play goes on.

Nope. Not at all

There are few things funnier than knowing Philadelphia fans were paying up to 4 figures to get into that game and see their team get absolutely blasted out of the building before halftime.

They could have traveled to Sioux Falls and booed Fultz and Jahlil Okafor for like $175

How shot mapping changed the NBA by the guy who created shot mapping.

Yeah, he’s apparently written a book. Still pretty cool to this map nerd though.

My son is majoring in Geography. It’d be great if he could do something like this.

Celtics up 30 again. Those guys are turning into a handful. Defense going to be a problem in the playoffs.

Yeah, it’ll be a problem coming up for a defense for them when they go out in Round 1!

Cade Cunningham will be the 10th rookie in NBA history to average 17-5-5 for a season. 8 of the previous 9 won Rookie of the Year. The only one who didn’t? Magic Johnson.

I would have assumed Tim Hardaway was already in the HoF.

Every now and then, I just start wondering what Westbrook's next contract will look like. Does he get a league minimum offer? Does he essentially end up retiring because no one offers him one? If so, does he end up coming back at some future point, similar to how Carmelo did?

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Wed Apr 06, 2022 10:17 am

I feel like there is no next contract. He was SO bad. I don't think causals realize just how bad he was. I watched a lot more lakers games than I ever would have wanted to because I was hoping Memphis could hold that pick but it became frighteningly clear around late February that LA was probably not going to make the playoffs and Memphis would not keep the pick in large part because Westbrook was a massive crater if you are trying to win. It was almost like performance art.
