my main takeaway of the new season so far- the Sixers made the right coaching hire in Doc Rivers...I'm guessing Simmons will eventually be traded for Harden...Embiid/Harden would make for a deadly inside/outside combo...he's also a better fit...they've been talking about Simmons eventually developing a jump shot for years now...might never happen at this point...I'd take the sure thing over potential

Yes, but Harden has been babied by the Rockets. Can Doc deal with that?
The Sixers may not have any choice. The Embid-Simmons pairing is reaching (or has reached) the peak of it's workability.

Kyrie Irving still refusing to play in Capitol riot aftermath
Irving has now sat out three straight games for what the team dubbed “personal reasons.”...averaging 27.1 points, his continued absence is a huge loss for the Nets...when asked whether the team was satisfied with Irving’s explanation for his absence, Nash had a chance to say yes but replied only that they were keeping the matter private
Sources told The Post that the All-Star guard’s absence had been related to Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol by supporters of President Trump...

Kyrie Irving still refusing to play in Capitol riot aftermath
The Nets had hoped to get both of their absent stars back Sunday. They got halfway there, with Kevin Durant suiting up against Oklahoma City but Kyrie Irving sitting out against the Thunder. Durant…

^^ Yeah, he's nuts. I'm black and a "leftist" but the man has a job to do and is getting PAID! He's letting his teammates down. At least make a statement, don't just mope like a baby..lol. Either donate a few million to the cause and get the playing, or quit your job and let someone else do it for you!
I always wondered what KD thought he was doing when he couldn't handle Draymond, so he left to join the biggest drama queen in the league.

The curious case of Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving is only growing more complicated...Irving has missed Brooklyn’s last three games for undisclosed personal reasons and has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets under the same circumstances...according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nets expect Irving to miss the team’s two remaining games this week, at a minimum
According to SNY TV’s Ian Begley, the Nets are concerned Irving “won’t be back anytime soon” and could miss games beyond this coming weekend...

^ Yeah he's been w/ his family - celebrating birthdays and having parties - like covid isn't running rampant and like he doesn't have a job to do.
Did I mention I'm from Akron/Cleveland? Lol.
In other News - James Harden is fat. He is not taking light lunches. He also threw his teammates and team under the bus last night. Another drama queen.

The Nets are going to have to cut the bb into 3 pieces. I'm not sure that crew works well together. Especially true for the guards.

if Harden can revert back to his early years when he was 6th Man of the Year with the OKC Thunder this has a chance but I don't see Harden taking a step back and letting KD and Kyrie run the show
so the Rockets traded Harden for basically Victor Oladipo and a ton of draft picks?...terrible trade for Houston...this is not like the Nets/Celtics trade involving Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce for draft picks
with the Celtics trade Garnett and Pierce were at the very end of their careers so the picks were much more valuable...with Houston the picks won't mean as much because KD, Kyrie and Harden are in their primes and will be a championship contender for the next 3-5 years

their defense was bad before the trade and now they traded away 2 of their best defensive players (Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen)...Nets better hope they score 150 points a game...even with their defensive issues the Nets are now the clear favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference

Once Kyrie gets back there will be three guys clapping for the ball at the end of the game. No matter who gets the ball, there will be two unhappy individuals.
