    The fact that he chose to sit for mental issues than a legit health condition is super suspect.

    He might have been going through this for over half a year but it's only in the public's attention now? It's like buying a lemon at a used car dealership.

    Wtf is that bullshit about??

    it’s such BS that fans question back injuries and accuse guys of faking. I’ve lived with back pain every day the last two years and that’s never going away, can only be mitigated and dealt with. Back injuries are some of the worst.

    Exactly. This back injury could be an excuse for not playing. It could also be a legit condition. If it is real, how could it suddenly happen after he was traded with no prior diagnosis?

    it’s definitely strange because presumably Simmons would have to pass a physical conducted by Brooklyn for the trade to be consummated. Weird.

    I mean I’m not saying he did .... but he could have hurt his back by getting out of shape and then trying to ramp it up too quickly . Or when he was put through his ramp up , he hurt his back because he had let something slip .

    I’m not saying he did ... but I’m not saying he didn’t .

    anyone knows being out of shape is addi Ng a risk to get hurt

    If the mind has issues, the body will have issues.

    No joke, get your Vitamin D levels checked. I used to have chronic lower back pain. Started supplementing with high amounts of Vitamin D and the pain went away. Check it out.

    Hawks beating the Wizards right now and the Hornets already beat the Jazz earlier.

    Still a chance for both to catch Brooklyn.

    Green isn't the only one.

    Tate, Christopher, Mathews, KJ Martin, Sengun.

    Even Wood & KPJ have evolved.

    Wood is a really good offensive player .... Lots of people believe he can be flipped with that Brooklyn pick for a mid to early lotto pick.


    Porter Junior has evolved his game and if it weren't for mental issues he's probably a building block and at worst a quality 6th man.


    All these players have gotten better under Silas.

    One thing to add. Make sure you are taking a D3 + K2 supplement. Taking the D3 alone is not good. Also check your Magnesium levels.

    I’m not really following those teams too much, but don’t we want Brooklyn to stay status quo and play Toronto? Or is that not who they would be matched up with right now?

    They don’t have a chance of winning themselves out of the play-in, do they?

    Another loss for Cleveland tonight, I don’t think they’re going to hold on to their spot unfortunately.

    Yeah at this point I think Brooklyn at least gets to 7th seed and hosts Cleveland.

    Not a lottery pick but on the bright side, that is still a better pick than any of us though possible when the season started.

    This pick badly needs to be traded on draft night. Some of the names being thrown out on this board are highly unlikely to make it to this pick. Mark Williams ain’t making it to this pick for example. The draft is just not that good past the lotto. We should be pursuing an aggressive approach focused on trading this pick in a package to either move back into the lotto, or for a rookie-scale prospect or future draft pick.

    Pretty amazing - Miami fans have been crowing about how awesome and under the radar they are with "Heat culture" and "we're good now, just wait till we're healthy" and in the last 2 weeks they are fully healthy but seem to have completely disintegrated
