Eoae Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I can't wait until Kyrie has a epithany and realizes Allah is actually just hunky dory with getting jabbed if it means you continue to get paid. I"m sure he'll hold a press conference and try to tell me about it. Or at least tell me about as best he can giving one-word answers and generally acting surly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Sixers have declined to pay Ben Simmons the $8.25 million he was due yesterday since he, you know, isn't showing up to work. Apparently his new plan is to report to camp but say he's injured, which feels like it would be a much better plan if he didn't tell everyone that beforehand.

RandomAct Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So I wanted to get in here and talk about how much potential the Dallas offense showed last night, and how I liked the motion and focus on getting to the rim. I liked how the new hires looked. But I came away thinking that Utah got a steal with drafting Jared Butler. Dude already looks like a contributor, and learning under Mike Conley will be huge for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Really the only choice the Nets could make. You can't let your star player sit out half the games for a bullshit reason and still be considered a serious team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This might be the best thing that could have happened to Kyrie. He's been telling us for years that he was put on this Earth for more important things than just playing basketball. Now he can devote all his attention to educating the masses and solving the world's problems without being distracted. Personally, I wish him well. Go with God, as the saying goes (well, Allah in this case). I just hope he doesn't go towards anyone with a camera or a microphone in their hand, cause I'm tired of seeing his dour sourpuss face on my monitor. Spoiler I don't expect him to miss much of the season, if any. If I had to put money on an outcome, I'd guess he has a religious epiphany and realizes Allah is hunky-dory with getting vaccinated if it means he keeps getting paid.

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Shams is apparently taking the role of Kyrie's water holder in an Athletic article that clarifies Irving's position as a selfish moron and Charnia as an obsequious idiot. Irving also went on IG live tonight and said "Everybody is entitled to do what they feel is best for themselves." This holds up to about 0.04 seconds of scrutiny. Oh boy this is going to get worse before it gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Fun fact: Kyrie will still get game checks for the road games, because the team is sitting him, so it's basically a DNP-CD. Millions of dollars to do nothing. Good work if you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
