It’s right there in the picture. “Damian Lillard 4997 likes” and there’s the post below.

Bruh, I don't be on Twitter... I'm supposed to know he liked it because it says how many likes at the top? OK...

So Kyrie will only play in 39 games this season?

 

[dviss1]

Mods, how about merging all these stupid Ben Simmons threads?

I count 8... Do we really need 8 threads about a headcase?

I'm not sure what Memphis is doing:



so, essentially they traded Bledsoe for Kris Dunn. I'd say 4 players better than Dunn moved in those two trades. And, because they just waived Rondo, Memphis only cut 1oM or so off of their payroll this season. I guess that's substantial although they weren't close to the tax line

I guess they are making room for a Jaren Jackson extension?

Maybe we should make a poll if we should have more Simmons threads?

As long as the title is in Polish.

You have the pull to push for a Pole poll post?

I've been in every one. It's litter.

Ok this was corny AF but it made me cackle out loud!

I like litter. It is what I poop on.

Corny is good. Corny is my stock and trade. I do corny very well.

Well done sir. I like the pull/push. Reminds me of a Mario Andretti story. When he went to Lotus to drive F1 in 1978 (they year he won the WDC) Lotus introduced a state of the art suspension with 2 modes that he could control with a pull/push toggle. The mechanics provided a helpful legend for S/s - and he asked what it means, they told him S for stiff suspension, s for soft suspension. He asked them how he would remember which one is which, the mechanic answered that push for Stiff, pull for soft. Mario never had a problem remembering which is which.

Surprised nobody is talking about the fact that unvaxed players on the Nets, Knicks and Warriors can't play in their home games! Isn't this the biggest news this offseason? Kyrie will only be able to play in 39 games this season. Who knows who else? Draymond?

 

[THE HCP]

What if Dame could only play in less than HALF of our games?

 

[SlyPokerCat]

We would have a top 10 chance at the #1 pick in a draft.

Has he read them? Have you lately? He has become all of the threads. He's actively engaged in his anti Ben Simmons campaign on all fronts. He has his good points and a ton I disagree with but I think he just wants a consolidated place to make his stand. Sorry if that's putting words in your mouth @dviss1

They're going to get vaccinated. No way in hell they sit out half of their games, let alone forfeit half of their money. Either they'll get the shot or more likely, they'll be given some sort of waiver.

Mark Vital Jr. won an NCAA basketball championship with Baylor in April.

Now he's ready to go pro. In the NFL.

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Thursday that they've signed Vital to their practice squad. He'll play tight end as he looks to follow the path blazed by future Hall of Famer Antonio Gates, who made eight Pro Bowls with the San Diego (now Los Angeles) Chargers after transitioning to the position from basketball.

Vital, a 6-5, 250-pound power forward, was a standout in four seasons at Baylor. He was named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team three times and earned all-conference honors as a junior. He averaged 5.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 rebounds as a senior while starting 30 games and helping the Bears secure their first NCAA title.

He played for the Portland Trail Blazers Summer League team after going undrafted, but his defense-heavy game didn't translate to an NBA roster spot. He recently announced his intent to transition to the NFL on social media.

I'm happy that LA's heart situation seems to be OK. If the Blazers weren't interested, fine. But if they we're, and he chose the Nyets, that's sucks.
