It takes a certain kind of temperament to bust out something like this and then ever offer another opinion on any other subject.

I literally sat and laughed while watching this. I don’t mind Colin but that is astoundingly horrendous. There was never, EVER a time when Ben Simmons was close to looking, feeling, or being like one of those “guys”. Whew. The only similarity he has with Magic and MJ now is the current minutes per game.

There was a time early on in his career. When he actually had some confidence. He has a passing skill that's almost unrivaled in the NBA. For him, it'll take the right coach and the right situation to unlock what is there.

For me there wasn’t. But that’s just my opinion. I just never felt he had the mentality required.

Can anyone explain to me the reason like every single team is wearing their away jerseys at home?

Home and away jerseys dont really exist in the NBA anymore. For the regular season, they get a schedule and wear what Nike tells them to wear. 

In the Playoffs, I think (although not 100%, someone please correct me if I'm wrong) the home team selects their jersey and the road team has to pick one that contrasts.

Well they didn’t do a very good job in this SAC GS game.

Well I hate it. It's the playoffs. Time for the traditional whites at home. These playoffs have felt like beginning of the year regular season games.

Jimmy Butler is currently the best player in the NBA.

And I'm not sure it's a close call.

The defense in these Boston games have been complete jokes. Hawks-Cektics was the most boring if the first round.

Reports per Shams that Dillon Brooks is out in Memphis. Whoopsie.

Putting aside that of course he’s right, Hollinger needs to take a bow for “poetry slamming the box score.” That is genius.

Mad Ants heading to Noblesville. Tony East says they'll also change their name when the move is complete for the '24 season.

Both TJD and JHS get an invite.

 

[Hardwood83 4,774]

From ITH 11 B1G players: 

Prospects invited from the Big Ten include Kobe Bufkin (Michigan), Zach Edey (Purdue), Coleman Hawkins (Illinois), Hood-Schifino, Jett Howard (Michigan), Jackson-Davis, Seth Lundy (Penn State), Kris Murray (Iowa), Jalen Pickett (Penn State), Brice Sensabaugh (Ohio State) and Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois).

I don't find that a very impressive list. After JHS and Murray none of those guys seem draft worthy to me. I can see Hawkins catching on with a NBA team, but not sure about getting drafted.....thoughts?

Jett and Sensabaugh are both easy guys to project to be drafted, and probably first rounders. 

 

Pickett, TJD, and Edey are all probably second rounders

Added to your 3, Sensabaugh, Howard, and Bufkin.are all probable 1st rounders. Sensabaugh, IMO, has potential to be a high level player, and Kobe Bufkin really came on strong. I could see him carving  a role.

Pacers are smart, they take TJD with a late 1st rounder, package the other late first rounder with Jackson and Duarte and move up into the lottery or grab another young prospect already in the league.

Shows how little I get the NBA anymore, especially Howard. He doesn't impress me at all. Sensanbaugh I can buy though. 

Hope you are right about TJD and Edey!
