Kind of related to the Ben Simmons discussion…

Sports culture is fucked up. Sure athletes are overpaid but capitalism is to blame for that, not them. People who enjoy sports should always respect the humanity of athletes and maybe ease the fuck up when piling on someone already subject to a bunch of criticism.

If you “hate” an athlete, the problem is you, not the athlete.

And when we see someone spreading hate, maybe we all have a duty to call them out on it. Even if their words don’t reach the athlete, reducing public acceptance of toxic behavior probably ripples beyond sports into the general culture.

I now understand his mental illness claim. Losing 30 million in one year is enough to drive any person crazy and depressed.

Not to mention that shooting nerve impingement in his back. It's enough to have most of us down, on and off the court.

^^^^

Now you see THAT RIGHT THERE?

unless someone ever had REAL CHRONIC PAINFUL back issues?

Much like migraines, they have no f*cking idea just how debilitating that really is.

I think if he had been more honest about his back if that is truly the ussye no one knowledgeable would have said a bad word about him.

Nah. Isaiah been the only one in the last 30-40 years, besides Scottie recently, to not bow down to the throne of Jordan. We all need to be checked when we do fuck shit and Michael Jordan isn't any different.

You're correct in everything you said, but unfortunately I wasn't being serious.

Ben has a "Nerve Impingement" in his back. I said that he has "Shooting Nerve" referencing his illness with shooting!

Might see even bigger ratings this weekend...

Cacs love the SEC but an all CAC Iowa team... Who will they root for?

SC vs Iowa might be the Women's version of Indiana State (Bird) vs Michigan State (Magic) or Duke vs UNLV.... lol

You're right! :lol:

I could see Golden State getting out of the first round but after that it gets a little murky for Golden State.
That’s true of every team- There’s nothing close to a conference finals lock.

If Wiggins comes back, I think they have the best chance of coming out of the West.

We’re down to the last 5-7 games depending on the team…

What are you looking for with regard to seeding? What matchups do you want to see as a fan, what do you expect, how do you think teams should be aiming to situate themselves?

If Golden State could somehow get to #4, finishing there and playing the Clippers is the most ideal matchup for them. But if the Suns stay at #4, I’d rather be the sixth seed against the Kings than the fifth seed against the Suns.

I’m going to look the schedule over tomorrow and make a prediction as to who will be the two to come up short out of the 12 teams in contention to make the Western Conference play-in.
