    I guess you can't type out your own thoughts. Have you had that diagnosed? Sounds serious bro. I can talk to my sister at OHSU I'm sure I can get you a neurologist who can help you get to the bottom of your inability to articulate your thoughts more than once.

    I know you're smart enough not to use the small sample size of 34 3 point shots taken in his career to come to that conclusion...

    He's got a mysterious theory though! Who needs stats, eye-test, playoff stats and league accolades when Dviss has a "theory" a theory so strong it can't be repeated due to its overwhelming certainty.

    Bro, I don't need to do your research for you. Inability to articulate my thoughts... Hilarious...

    You don't know me...

    so it shouldn't work is what you're saying because CJ is making 30.9 not 30.1

    Nor do I know your magical theory that you won't repeat. I know I always try and hide arguments when they are super strong. I never say, hide weaknesses, like say terrible theories I won't repeat lest they get shredded.

    You're kind of an asshole bro. Again, you don't know me...

    The eye test on Simmons is that his is LITERALLY afraid to shoot.

    Y'all bring up one regular season game where he was aggressive and all of the sudden your point is proven.

    No, the playoff series and his entire career of being scared to shoot and scared to go to the free throw line is well documented...

    Talmbout some eye test... Fool, I've used my eyes to come to my conclusion.

    "I have news for Philly fans. The GMs of the other teams watch the playoffs very, very closely. And there are definitely teams that I have talked to in the last 48 hours who were once in on Simmons, who say, at least to me, it could be posturing, 'Eh, we're a little less in than we used to be."

    Your theory as to why Simmons isn't great how can you not know that? Also, I ain't researching some argument you made at some point in the past that you then act is like unassailable fact. Everyone here has their opinions you're the only one I know who had an opinion they wrote out a long time ago, but won't repeat for some bizarre reason. You go trashing Simmons in every thread and can never back up your special secret sauce reason. I find the combination of your certainty and your refusal to explain to be quite repellant especially when you have to rag on Simmons non-stop in every Simmons thread. We get it you hate Simmons, you're not swaying anyone when you won't make an argument. I will end here, because I'm certain you won't back up your assertions.

    We can send out 31 and take back 2, if it works for everyone else. It's only if you're taking in more that you really have to worry about the 125% rule.

    I'm done going back and forth with you after this hilariously STUPID comment.

    Yeah man, you sure crushed me with your inability to make an argument and your unbacked assertions. Keep telling yourself that. LOL. Me asking you to explain your Simmons hatred and your refusal to respond with an argument that makes any sense is truly a new level of rhetorical skill. Socrates and Plato must be in total awe.

    It is not just 3PA, just look at the last year of the advanced shooting on basketball reference, Draymond is better between 3 - 16 ft - everything else (right at the basket, mid range and 3P, he is worse). Despite that, Simmons still has a better TS%.

    I would say if there is something to be said about Green's superior intellect on defense - his shot selection and volume on offense given his bad shooting/scoring performance is not that impressive - I would rather have Simmons taking only the shots he is good at. His OBPM has been negative for 3 years running.

    I've already said why I don't want Simmons. I've given many reasons. You for some reason think I need to continue to tell you why.

    Man I don't know if you're deliberately trying to stir up shit here, but Dviss, whether I agree with him or not, is one of the most cerebral and intelligent people here (and that's just what I can fathom from his posting here). We've never met.
