Confirmed, see you guys Friday!

I don't recall seeing her much over the last 3-4 years... still hot, but when did she go full on Insta-ho? Just flipped back through her Instagram and she was way more attractive back then.

if you want to discuss why you know better than others and your team is superior to the other side do it in the politics thread, i'm all for free speech... go crazy. i just want to know i can come here and mindlessly check shel posting about Zion or CP3 or Corey posting about the Heat or Weasel once a year asking if the Pistons are going to be worth watching.

simple as that. i'm not the master of these boards, do as you please... i'm just asking nicely and expressing the other side of it.

shit is beyond exhausting listening to
Well said and why I don't post as much anymore as the self blowing and "Look at me! I told you! I am right!!!" is just tiresome to see spewed across every thread nonstop.

Back to my hole, Go Heat!

So your the sixers GM, what do you do? Screwed your self with the trade up for Fultz, trading all your "assets" for Butler and Harris, lock up all your cap space with unmovable contracts with Harris max and Horford. Honestly there does not appear to be to many options short of unloading either Ben or Joel.

They're in cap hell for the foreseeable future. The Harris contract is awful, the Horford contract is awaful.

No idea what their options are, but if I'm them, I would not want to move either Simmons or Embiid. That being said, I have no clue what other options they even have.

Bill Simmons said that there is actually something behind the Pop to Philly rumors. That would be there best move. Get someone who can get thru to Joel and get him to get in shape and care on a daily basis. Then they can figure out how to him with Simmons.

Philly definitely needs a leader on that team. Some great players there but nobody wants to put themselves out there and take on that responsibility.

This seems to be the consensus from the local media. It’s coming across that the culture was one that lacked accountability.

I’m interested to see what they do from a coach hire stand point. The talent is there (sans the lack of depth) and the big guys are all locked up for years so this coaching hire will make or break the team.

I don't see a coach helping with accountability and leadership, that comes from your peers

I think both of these Eastern conference series have the chance to be awesome. I'll take Raps in 7 and Bucks in 5 but I think the Heat will make those really tough games.

Haha, I do love Bill Simmons and have been reading/listening for like 20 years. I think he even picked the Raps but in his latest pod kinda sounded like he talked himself in to Tatum winning the series for them.
