    ...wonder if Kyrie is reconsidering his position towards the 76ers yet?!

    There was a previous post that said Westbrook has only had one 0 turnover game in like the last 7 or 8 years. Harden has only 8 over that time. So after your statement, I dropped knowledge that Dame had 7 just last season. Not everybody turns the ball over every game.

    These aren’t the players I think they expected to get hurt!

    Can Simons play like Poole for us? That guy is on fire.

    One can be both generous with resources and selfish with other decisions. They are not mutually exclusive.

    Maybe selfish isn't a good word for his specific anti vax attitude.

    Would delusional, ignorant, stupid, detached from reality, sick, mentally unstable, uneducated, harmful be better descriptions? Those could be applied to his flat earth beliefs too.

    I don't think he was serious about the flat Earth stuff (I hope). I think "misguided" is the best word - apparently his main concern with the vaccine is the people losing jobs with the mandates.

    ...so the reports are saying now. Of course, he hasn't actually come out and said that himself, and it's quite convenient that a (mildly) virtuous explanation comes out only after the team says he won't be able to play, even on the road, while unvaccinated.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That seems like a strange explanation. Why didn't he get it months ago, before anyone was "losing their jobs" from mandates? He foresaw the future and stood on principle ahead of time?

    Is it just me or is Casey annoyingly vague in his tweets? I have no idea what exactly these shoes are about.
