[AldoTrapani]

He’ll get the jab soon

Kyrie is a Drama queen.

Kyrie is a Drama queen.

I honestly wonder if there isn't some mental health issues there. Guy sounds like there might be a screw or two loose.

 

[DDolla]

My gut feeling… Kyrie for Ben Simmons

I don't think Morey would do it. Move from one headcase to another? I don't think so.

Dame had 7 games just LAST (shortened) season with 0 turnovers. I'm sure Kidd, Stockton, and AI had many games with 0 turnovers too.

I’m not sure what this response is about. I stated that some of the hall of fame all time greats also annually led the league in turnovers.

 

[THE HCP]

Always cracks me up that people don’t become nutjobs UNTIL they become stinking rich. Kanye on Line 1……

If you're poor you're crazy, if you're rich you're eccentric.

You ain’t jokin;
Man if you look at old interviews with Kyrie and Kanye both. Normal ass happy dudes loving what they are doing. As soon as those chips start to stack up…. It’s all over.

Absolutely, it's Amazin'.

[Haakzilla]

...wonder if Kyrie is reconsidering his position towards the 76ers yet?!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

There was a previous post that said Westbrook has only had one 0 turnover game in like the last 7 or 8 years. Harden has only 8 over that time. So after your statement, I dropped knowledge that Dame had 7 just last season. Not everybody turns the ball over every game.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

If you're poor you're crazy, if you're rich you're eccentric.

And if you're a mod you're just rabid!

I know it’s preseason but this Warriors they look good with or without Steph.

 

[THE HCP]

These aren’t the players I think they expected to get hurt!

 

[DDolla]

Can Simons play like Poole for us? That guy is on fire.

Lost me at, “I know it’s just preseason”.

One can be both generous with resources and selfish with other decisions. They are not mutually exclusive.

Maybe selfish isn't a good word for his specific anti vax attitude.

Would delusional, ignorant, stupid, detached from reality, sick, mentally unstable, uneducated, harmful be better descriptions? Those could be applied to his flat earth beliefs too.

I don't think he was serious about the flat Earth stuff (I hope). I think "misguided" is the best word - apparently his main concern with the vaccine is the people losing jobs with the mandates.

...so the reports are saying now. Of course, he hasn't actually come out and said that himself, and it's quite convenient that a (mildly) virtuous explanation comes out only after the team says he won't be able to play, even on the road, while unvaccinated.

 

[Minstrel]

That seems like a strange explanation. Why didn't he get it months ago, before anyone was "losing their jobs" from mandates? He foresaw the future and stood on principle ahead of time?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, he's given away money all "around" the world.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is it just me or is Casey annoyingly vague in his tweets? I have no idea what exactly these shoes are about.
