Steve Nash on Kyrie Irving: "I think we recognize he’s not playing home games. We’re going to have to for sure play without him this year. So it just depends on when, where and how much." #Nets #NBA— Brian Lewis (@NYPost_Lewis) October 10, 2021

If Kyrie's vaccination status ends up being the reason the Nets don't win a title *chef's kiss*

kyrie is an artist and his canvas is destroying teams from the inside

how sick would it be if he waits to get vaxxed until right before the playoffs. genius move

honestly kyrie sitting out half the regular season is prob a good idea from a durability standpoint, maybe hes just doing his own load management
― lag∞n, Sunday, 10 October 2021 22:03 (two years ago) link
i've landed somewhere around there while acknowledging that kyrie thinks his very bad brain is actually incredible
― Clay, Sunday, 10 October 2021 22:25 (two years ago) link
if he takes this as far as missing half (or more? what if the nets draw the knicks or any cali team in the finals lol) he should probably go in the hall of fame immediately
― Clay, Sunday, 10 October 2021 22:27 (two years ago) link
the longer he goes the bigger the shit storm the harder it will be to get vaccinated, because he is very proud and stubborn

i keep seeing stuff about how the bulls are killing it in the preseason and so i looked and their opponents were the cavs and the pelicans with a starting line up of devante graham, nickeil alexander walker, garret temple, naji marshall (?) and valanciunas. k meanwhile they’re losing tonight playing their whole team to the cavs who didn’t start sexton or garland.

Yes but he also has enough of a contrarian streak/addiction to confounding others that once the media have formed their narratives around how things are playing out for him, the team, the league with unvaxxed Kyrie, that will be his out to finally get it

i saw something somewhere suggesting that based on past preseasons, their offensive performance so far is enough to give their offensive projection an actual bump of a point or two per 100. which is interesting but ultimately i'd have to say the sample size is small enough that it should just be tossed in the trash.

i "like" the bulls moves this summer but as like a respectable 8th seed
― class project pat (m bison), Monday, 11 October 2021 01:38 (two years ago) link
i dont think their preseason performance is too meaningful escpailly considered as jordan said the teams they played didnt have their guys, but their lineup does have a bunch of guys and if theyre going to run so they can do as many different pick and rolls as possible i love it
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 October 2021 01:38 (two years ago) link
yeah and i don't think anyone who was critical of their offseason was saying they wouldn't have a good offense, it was more that they are at risk to have a very bad defense and have mortgaged a measurable amount of their future for a team that won't threaten to contend.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 11 October 2021 01:41 (two years ago) link
i havent really followed what exactly their offseason moves were, the vooch trade was def awful, but now that were here i support their vision

i was kind of following the thread until they traded thad young and a 2025 first for derozan. between vuc and deorzan they're out 1st round picks in 21, 23, and 25.

yeah thats not great, prob one of those situations where ownership has decided they just need to make the playoffs this year xp

imo theres a very good chance thats true, hes still a good player if he reverts tho
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 October 2021 02:59 (two years ago) link
it’s true — i mean, they will be *better*. it’s almost impossible for them not to be and if they aren’t their GM will be a season away from getting fired. but the justification for their moves is tied to the idea that lavine is as good or better, and idk. i just need to see it in a real season, i don’t trust a lot of the shooting numbers from last year. julius randle at the top of the list for me. the only thing i’ll say for the bulls is a lot of ppl (me included) were making basically the same exact argument against the hawks last year — yeah they got better but how much better really? and then they were much better, at least after they fired their coach. nonetheless the bulls still look like a play in team to me
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 October 2021 03:13 (two years ago) link
the hawks are backed by the real growth of young players and signing known contributors

Sixers officials and Klutch CEO Rich Paul have progressed in talks over recent days on a resolution to bring All-Star Ben Simmons back to Philadelphia in the near future, sources tell ESPN. Discussions are ongoing.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 11, 2021
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 October 2021 14:51 (two years ago) link
The organization's hopes are unchanged: Get Simmons back into Philadelphia, onto the court and ultimately convince him that it's still the place for the long-term.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 11, 2021

Do I want Ben Simmons back as a Sixer? No. But will I embrace his return if he proves he can work hard, apologize to the Sixers fans, and make a little bit of an effort? Also no— Amy, but spooky edition 👻 (@amy_shee) October 11, 2021

ok so he is there, next question is does he play?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 02:35 (two years ago) link
the best plan for everyone involved is prob for him to play and be good at basketball

i mean i guess he could take the jimmy butler route and just be a total pain in the ass until they trade him

lol everyone is telling him to do that but he hates conflict and won't
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 02:46 (two years ago) link
Every time the ball touches his hands, he should shoot. Even if it's inbound from under the opponent's basket.

Sources: Sixers were unaware Simmons was flying into Philadelphia today. The organization was in constant contact with agent Rich Paul, but Simmons simply showed up at arena to take his Covid test prior to Sixers-Nets tip -- and that's when team officials knew he was in town. https://t.co/j3cGnC6mgG— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 12, 2021
