One, I think it's good to have Kevin Durant on your basketball team. Two, it's probably worth at least one more attempt at getting a relatively healthy KD/Kyrie season free of COVID distraction, see how Simmons meshes before you blow it up

it comes down to if you think Kyrie plays better when he's being outrageous.

if you think he's better the more outrageous he acts then you would drop him as the nets because you don't have time for that again. if you're another team you might take a chance on that. if you think he's better when he's more focused on basketball you keep him on the nets and hope he has less to be outrageous about this year. if you're another team you have to assume a new environment will give him something new to be outrageous about.

Chuck has a good heart, he just also has Joe Rogan brain sometimes and can be convinced by a casual argument to entirely believe and repeat something.

Me dumb - how do 8 teams go to the finals but only 2 of them play an extra game?

all the tournament games except the final are part of the 82-game regular season. so you'd play 78 real regular season games and 4 tournament games or whatever.

I think the Kidd pathway is to be an rear end in a top hat to fix things and then have everything go to poo poo because your an rear end in a top hat.

I think he's saying he is just like Giannis cause he also gets flack for missing free throws and clanking threes, while ignoring that Giannis makes up for it by not being a coward.

giannis gets flak for taking 3s, a criticism ben probably wishes he had again him at this point

things you say when your mind is definitely right

quote:

To this point -- I've never been in an arena where the whole place is chanting "F--- Ben Simmons!" [March 10 at 76ers]. What was that like?

Simmons: That's when I didn't play, right? When I was hurt. I don't really know how I felt, because I don't take it personally.

working with kyrie was the worst case scenario for ben

quote:

Have you talked to [Durant and Irving] specifically about handling the criticism that comes your way?

Simmons: Me and Ky literally were just talking about it before practice. He's like 'Why is everybody on our heads?' F---, we're interesting people, I guess. Some guys you wouldn't talk about because you just don't care.
