Bashez is not a bigot he's a drat rules autist. I'd put money if bashez got a speeding ticket for going 1 mile over he'd pay it without any grievance

I have seen people take their coffee with like 15 cream so it isn't that crazy.

Also Bashez apparently posted extremely islamophoic poo poo in Uspol as well.

I guess a second-year guy who didn't play has a leg up for ROTY but they should obviously be eligible. Some guys come into the NBA after their senior year and some come after their freshman year, some guys come over from Europe, so there's already a really wide array of experience of the guys coming into the league. I wonder if any voters would actually hold that against Simmons but I think Blake won a ROTY unanimously under similar circumstances so I guess probably not (if he's good enough)

Something about Ben Simmons bothers me. I don't know if it's his pinched face. He plays like basketball is the easiest and dullest thing he's ever done. I am open to the possibility that body language stuff can just be off for people with autism and he could easily be a Tmac sleepy eyed star, but it puts a bug in my rug.

I'm watching the cut up preseason games to see if my impressions were near the truth. Simmons seems engaged enough, it's just that he's such a godawful finisher and is left alone like Idris Elba with some woman in the recently released plane crash movie, on the perimeter. I don't see the cut and dry rookie of the year award winner in this man.

On the other hand, I love the way Markelle Fultz can traipse through a defense and finish while barely jumping or cutting. He plays with a sort of slow elegance. His influences are on his sleeve and they're all great fellows.

It just struck me, if you squint, he's almost a new age, quick Andre miller who scores facing up rather than posting up and he can shoot and could play defense at some point. That's a nonsensical comp that I like

Starbucks changed the game first by promising good coffee and then by realizing people wanted savory sweet things like the standard fast food all tastes recipe. Then they made a fortune selling younger women 100 grams of sugar milkshake coffee and then men started to also drink these 8 dollar luxury candy drinks. The moral of the story is that sugar is the ultimate poison unless it's attached to a lot of fiber and you have carb tolerant genetic makeup and low enough body fat for your own body to not produce lots of sugar to maintain all the fat hanging around your bones

Troy Williams is going to ball out for the Rockets

Also, to the nba n/v fyad hybrid fanty people, remember draft is sunday 8 pm. I'm going to start looking at lists compiled by men today.

No other aspect of fultz’s game looks like Harden’s but the deceptive slow motion drives that somehow work are comparable, to me

Agreedo with all that except Fultz is way way bigger than miller.
Fultz has a ways to go but the way he gets to the hoop is very promising.

Also wrt Simmons it's going g to come down to his two man game with embiid which looked extraordinary promising in the few minutes they were together . A 4-5 pnr is pretty rare . I guess Blake and DAJ run it?
