    very surprised, but simmons and curry can help the nets win a chip if durant and irving are both 100% healthy and able to play in all the post season games.

    That’s Just It, Kyrie’s SELFISH Ass Won’t Be Able to Play All Post Season Games, By CHOICE…

    Let’s Not Pretend This Isn’t THE Reason Harden Wanted Out:Dont:

    As Great a Player as Kyrie Is, He’s Even BETTER at Fucking Up Team Chemistry…

    Irving could easily have been playing all season. if the SELFISH ass owner just allowed him to. all he has to do is pay a 5k per game fine and kyrie is good to go. his dumbass wants to take some moral stand being pro vaccine and thats the reason for all this.

    Literally, the REST of the Fucking Team is Vaccinated Neil!:duck:

    Why Should the Owner Be OBLIGATED to Pay a Fine for a Perpetually Shit Stirring Player Who’s BURNED BRIDGES at Every Other Stop, When EVERY OTHER PLAYER On the Team Adhered to Policy???

    The Only SELFISH Motherfucker in the Equation is the One That Singled HIMSELF Out from the Team…Yet You’re Throwing Shade @ the Owner???…

    Hell, Why Wouldn’t Kyrie OFFER to Pay the Per Game Fine Himself ???…

    Because He’s SELFISH AF, That’s Why…

    Can’t Believe You’re Attempting to JUSTIFY Kyrie’s Behavior…He’s a Certified Team Cancer and Arrogant Enough to Deem Himself the”Voice of the Voiceless”….

    Fuck That Dude…

    You seriously think Irving wouldn't pay the fine? 1 game check covers the entire season. He missed out on how many game checks?

    If Irving WOULD Pay the Fine, Why the Fuck HASN’T He Already, Neil???

    Only 1 Motherfucker is Being SELFISH In This Situation, and it Damn Sure AIN’T Brooklyn’s Owner…

    Kyrie’s a DRAMA QUEEN, Period…

    Forced His Way Out of Cleveland, Turned Off His Boston Teammates and LITERALLY Got a Chill, Unassuming Dude Like Harden (& Paul Milsap, Lowkey) FED UP and Wanting to Get Away from His Bitchass!!!

    Literally, REED NEVER TAKES the Owners Side in Sports, But Kyrie has a Track Record Bruh!!!…Hold His Perpetual, TROUBLE MAKING ASS ACCOUNTABLE!!!…

    Harden Wanted Out BECAUSE of Kyrie’s Bullshit, Period. And You KNOW It.

    Kyrie will screw KD out of a third title, which makes him leaving Golden State the worst decision of are times

    maybe im wrong about the dynamics of the situation. but from what i read it is a fine that can be paid by the owner.

    you seriously think irving wouldnt pay a 200k fine to play all road games when he is missing out on his single game salary which EXCEEDS that entire fine?

    I disagree. Just like Stephen A Smith calling Durant going to GState the weakest basketball decision of all time. Neither of those moves come close to Ben Simmons basically giving away 19 million dollars because he couldn’t handle being booed for a few games and his teammate and coach throwing him under the bus once. Simmons has to be the biggest pussy to ever play professional sports.

    Kyrie ducks playing ball as much as anyone but at least in his case he just seems to be either lazy or doesn’t enjoy playing basketball as much as we think.

    What Up GZA!

    As YOU Know from a Couple Decades Worth of Basketball Posts @ This Point, REED Doesn't Give 1, Nevermind 2 Shits About James Harden...

    But His DEMEANOR is Rather Unassuming, in REED's Opinion...Quiet, Soft Spoken, Laid Back...And to the Degree That His ACTIONS Start "Trouble", Harden PASSIVELY Cites an "Injury" and Mentally DIVORCES Himself from the Team Until they Get the Hint and Cut Ties...

    Harden's Demeanor is the POLAR OPPOSITE of Kyrie Irving's, Even if Some of their Actions Lead to Similar Results....Harden Isn't a SHIT STIRRER, a Certified DRAMA QUEEN the Way Kyrie Is...

    Leaving GS was the RIGHT Thing to Do on KD's Part, He Just Aligned Himself w/the WRONG Motherfucker in the Process...

    Even Though KD was Their Best Player While There, He Will Never Get FULL PROPER Championship Credit for What he Accomplished in GS...Naysayers Will Always Look @ it as "Steph's Team"...

    However, if he Gets Just 1 More Ring, That'll ENHANCE KD's Legacy, Similar to How Winning in Cleveland ENHANCED Bron's...

    Yeah, REED Can't Recall a More Glaring Example of MENTAL WEAKNESS Than What Simmons Pulled...

    Dude, Played Like SHIT in Last Year's Playoffs...Passed Up Open Shots w/SMALLER Men Guarding Him, Pissed Down His Own Leg Like a SCARED Child, Everytime He Went to the FT Line and Had Like a TOTAL of 4 4th Quarter Points in the 6 Game Series vs. ATL...6 Games, 4 TOTAL 4th Quarter Points...

    That WARRANTED Criticism from his Coach, Not Coddling...But Instead of Getting Back in the Lab, Improving His FLAWS, Ben Simmons HID...

    Say what you want about demeanor and all that shit but Irving is a big game player and harden shrinks in those moments. Durant would clearly have 4 titles if not for injury. His own in the bay area and irvings last playoff

    You'll Never See REED Type a Bad Word About Kyrie Irving's PLAY; He's a Certified BALLER...

    But That's What Makes the BULLSHIT Constantly Surrounding Him All the More FRUSTRATING...JUST PLAY BRUH!!!:Dont: He was Gifted w/THE Best Handles in the History of Basketball and for a Guy that Plays BELOW the Rim, He's THE Best Finisher in the Paint, as Well...And While Kyrie's J Ain't Steph's, it's a Lot CLOSER to That than it Is to Russ', for Example...

    That Said, All the Mental Health Days, Team Cancer Tendencies, Looooong, Vague Ass Diatribes Specifying NATHAN, Referring to the Media as PEONS and NOW, Refusing to Get Vaccinated Even to HELP his Team???...JUST PLAY BRUH!!!:Dont:

    So We're Giving KD PROXY Rings Now???...

    Another thing about Ben Simmons. What’s he going to do when Brooklyn faces Philly in the playoffs? Maybe he can pull a reverse-Kyrie and not play road games just to avoid the Philly crowd being mean to him? Either way, eventually he’s going to have to face that Philly crowd and they’re absolutely going to let him have it. In fact he might get booed in Philly for the rest of his weakass career.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if both of them get a season ending injury soon just off of karma. Simmons’ would probably happen almost immediately.

    Will Be Interesting to See and WON'T Be Pretty for Simmons in the Least...

    Philly's THE Worst City in America for an Athlete to PUNK OUT In and What's Worse is Brooklyn and Philly are in the Same DIVISION, Meaning @ Least 2 Road Games in Philly EVERY Year for Simmons...

    They'll for Sure HARASS Simmons the Remainder of his Career...

    Uuuuuh, Did You SEE Simmons' Playoff "Performance" Last Year???...There's NATHAN Tangible Indicating He's Going to SHIT All Over Anybody...To Do That, He Has to Actually Have the Mental Fortitude to SHOOT the Fucking Ball, Which He's Clearly LACKED...

    Sure, He'll Make Things Difficult for Harden, But the Harden/Embiid Pick and Roll Will Free Harden Up...

    harden embiid pick and roll dont scare anyone. embiid is mostly gonna operate as he usually does out of the block or on the wing. their games dont mesh.

    simmons quit on philly, he will be highly motivated to show them up when they play

    What is Being "Motivated" Going to Do About Simmon's PUTRID Ass Jumper, FT % and All Around RELUCTANCE to Shoot, Neil???...Please ELABORATE???:Dont:

    These are the Reasons Doc (Rightfully) Criticized Him, Then Ben Got All IN His Feelings...That's Just Going to CORRECT Itself Now That Simmons is in Brooklyn, Huh???...

    Sounds Like You Don't WANT Harden/Embiid to Mesh More Than Anything, But They'll Make a Deeeeeeeeeep Playoff Run, Regardless...And They WON'T Be Relying on a Selfish, Unvaccinated Asshole Who CAN'T Play Home Playoff Games Either...

    I get that. No question of the two who's the most high maintenance but Harden is definitely a diva himself.

    I wonder if SAS is going to be right when he says the owners are going to try and put the clamps down in the next CBA. Behaviour like we've been seeing lately will do it IMO.

    I don't disagree, Simmons has looked awful with his actions lately. In saying that depending on the team, does he need to shoot? Would a guy like Rodman not have a place in today's league you think?

    simmons will help the nets. what he does is valuable to that team. the flaws in his game prevent him from being an elite superstar, but not from being a great all around player as a third wheel on a championship team.

    i dont really care whether harden and embiid mesh. im saying they wont, based on my observations of both. and if philly is relying on harden all of a sudden becoming some clutch big game postseason performer, they are fooling themselves.

    Street clothes is a great talent but doesn't seem built for the long haul. Porzingis aint a shadow of him. He's just bogus potential at this point in comparison. Davis is at least an elite defender when healthy
