    Is it really breaking news that an NBA player missed a game because he was hung over? wouldn't that be the ultimate case of "load" management?

    i guess it would be hard to chastise Simmons for paryting when one of your owners is out partying with him at times.  

    I think it's a pretty safe bet Brown is out of here short of a conference finals appearance.
    Hell of a cherry pick there.  I think the uncoachable comments and the fact that Brand wants to trade him is the bigger news, if it is true...

    well do you want me to comment on every line of the article? 

    and eh most NBA stars are uncoachable. it's in their nature.  think LeBron took a lot of coaching from Tyron Lue or Luke Walton?  think Russell Westbrook listens to Billy Donovan much?

    the only reason to possibly trade Simmons is if you think its a foregone conclusion he is signing elsewhere once he becomes a free agent. kind of dumb to trade a guy who was rookie of the year in year 1 and an All-Star in year 2.  But then again maybe Brand is just another dumb Duke GM like Billy King was.

    Well when said player can't shoot, I think you'd hope he listen to a coach.

    I'd be a lot more concerned about this if it came from Woj or a local guy like Bodner....

    hoping an NBA star will listen to a coach is like hoping for a unicorn for Christmas.

    For the record, I am totally fine with him spending as much time with Magic as possible this summer to figure all that shit out. Some people are saying Magic will try and lure him to LA now that he's free to speak with him and stuff. Fuck that. He can't leave here for a while. Learn from the best.

    All I want that dipshit to be able to do is make a free throw consistently. That's it. He's never gaining a jumper, definitely never shooting 3s.

    He has been fantastic the last two games.

    Game 1 may have been the best thing to ever happen to this team.

    So the guy who wrote that article about all the turmoil within the Sixers the other day has been fired. Apparently he was uncooperative in sharing his source material. Lol

    Nice fucking win. Joe Harris looks a little gassed chasing JJ around.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    So they've tried hack a Ben and cheap shots, what could be next? Hope we refrain from the next fracas.

    the boo Simmons crowd has been pretty quiet for the last week.  i imagine when they lose their next game and/or series they will be back.

    i still find the NBA highly unwatchable compared to the college game.  i guess part of it is that the best teams almost never lose a series in the NBA which makes it rather uninteresting.

    Another cheap shot on Jo to force another flagrant foul? If he gets one more, doesn’t he get suspended?

    It's a total of 4 flagrant points gets 1 game, so 2 more F1's or 1 F2.

    Now it's the refs fault. What is next, the lighting in the arena or how far of a drive it is to Philly?

    Are you suggesting the first flagrant from game 2 was due to an opponet's cheap shot? I guess Allen putting his face in front of Embiid's elbow and forcing him to swing it with a Jedi mind trick is pretty cheap.

    But yeah as JK_livin said, he has 2 more elbows before he is suspended (unless one is deemed a flagrant 2 which that first one should have been), so likely he'll get his suspension for game 1 or 2 of the ECF against the Celtics.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Do you think the 2nd F1 was flagrant? I don't think Dudley and Butler should've been ejected. It's the playoffs and they're ejected for slight shoves?
