LMAO

Ben Simmons is everything wrong with sports today.

What a gutless piece of shit.

And memo to the media… treat Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka’s fake “mental illness” charade the same way you are correctly treating Simmons’ “mental health” fraud.

Jazz are toast.

LMAO Chuck caught Durant in the feelings with that bus riders comment.

Good ****ing Lord Simmons is a bitch.


Sunday’s events triggered frustration and disheartenment throughout the organization, multiple sources said. The fallout of Simmons being ruled out Sunday led to a meeting among franchise officials, Simmons and his agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, on Monday in Brooklyn. According to sources, Simmons told those in the room that a mental block exists for him, dating in part to last summer’s postseason, which is creating stress that could serve as a trigger point for his back issues. He added that he does want to play basketball and play for the Nets as he works on solutions in regard to his well-being

Simmons had been described as pain-free for the majority of the past month but began to cite soreness in his back on Friday, and a scheduled scrimmage was pushed back, multiple sources said. Simmons conducted two full-court scrimmages last week on Monday and Wednesday, in which there was low intensity displayed, those sources said. Throughout Simmons’ rehab, both Durant and Irving, for their part, publicly downplayed their expectations for a Simmons return and said the goal is to get him healthy.

Simmons had another workout on Saturday, after which Nash said Simmons had no issues. On Sunday, Simmons informed the team his back was sore. For Nets players, the confusion was not centered around Simmons’ ailment, but with the perceived lack of attempt to play, effort to be in uniform and push his body in these high-stakes playoffs, sources said. Nets players and coaches wanted to see Simmons show resolve and enter this series to start his on-court Brooklyn tenure, even if it was for limited minutes on Monday or none at all while still dressing for the game.

Absolutely LOVE watching the Pelicans play basketball. Ingram is a great scorer and 2nd round rookie Jones and UDFA Alvarado are supplying athleticism and defense.

Willie Green should probably be Coach of the Year with what this team is doing, but Taylor Jenkins is a good choice as well.

Man he is the biggest bitch in the history of sports.

Ben Simmons literally stole $33 million this season by committing mental health care fraud.

76ers didn't pay him $20M of that and I'd be surprised if an arbitrator awarded him that money no matter what he argues about mental/physical health.

If Taylor Jenkins doesn't get it, maybe he should whine and act like a petulant bitch about it in a press conference. He's really good at doing that.

So is Montee, which was unexpected.

Great to see the Wolves not even bothering to show up tonight. I suppose if your strategy involves Pat Bev shooting 3s, you're bound to lose anyway, but this really sucks.

LMAO Love Chuck. And holy shit Kenny is STILL butthurt about that bus riders comment.

Twolves turn it over every other possession. Stop doing that and they are up 30

What a shot by Edwards
