Ben's take on ROY

[Siro]

Koalas are dreadful animals, all they do is sleep spit and pass fluid

They look adorable tho. I'm not judging.

from a distance .. up close they lose their appeal very quickly

Dominant males also rape males in their colonies to establish dominance and they're high most of the time.

We're veering off topic again. This thread is about Australians and how much we hate those koala ****ers.

get in my grill and say that punk!

Simmons started practicing 5 on 0 in January of last year. Philly could have had him playing by March if they wanted. They chose to have him red shirt the entire season. Practicing with an NBA team for months before ever playing a game was a huge advantage for Simmons.

Two good Australians: Ingles and Exum

The rest probably polish off Kangroo knobs for fun.

Of course that's a thing that Rubashov knows!

 

[Coach Ellis]

Every time I think I can’t love him more. . . he proves me wrong.

Perfect answer to Simmons diss the other day.

And then goes out and beats Lillard for the all time rookie 3 point record while leading the team in a blowout *** whooping of the Warriors.

I’d love to see Donovan get ROY. This back and forth has been fun with it.....the true robbery will be if Rudy doesn’t get DPOY. I love Donovan but if ROY doesn’t happen I’ll get over it. If DPOY doesn’t happen........

Agreed. That would be a travesty. Not sure how you can beatdown the Warriors twice and not figure out that the common denominator is Gobert’s defense and Donovan’s offense. Gotta count for something.

I know many things...

Agree. I think Rudy is pretty loyal, but would he consider leaving a la Hayward if he can't get the awards and recognition he deserves in Utah? If he wins DPOY, it would be pretty unusual to have him make an all-NBA team AND win DPOY, yet never have been an all-star.

So he adknowledges Ben is the better player.The only way he can win the ROY
is if Ben is not considered a rookie.

Take it from someone who is fully qualified.. you’re kinda a clueless douche

I was mostly just teasing you.

No, I dont care about local connections playing overseas. But that is just me.

As far as a real fan goes I would actually just let a person define their own fandom and however you want to enjoy sports or have rooting interest go for it. Although most would say you are only a true fan if you stick to your team even if your "player" leaves.

I guess it was UtahJazzz that said he would be better than Lebron. But do you think he has a higher ceiling than Lebron or think he could get to that level? Either way you are far to high on him but you care about him on a personal level so that makes sense.

Nope I don't think he has LeBron's ceiling. Unless maybe he comes back next season shooting with his right hand and it actually doesn't look freaky.

Yeah you're right. If I didn't have any 'affiliation' with him (as flimsy as the affiliation is) I could make some objective points about his year:

1) He gets credited with a lot of assists where he basically just hands the ball of and sets a screen. Not my traditional understanding of a real assist. And he has had plenty of them.

2) A number of his assists are from guys who are told to catch and shoot in transition. In many cases there is a defender in their grill - and they nail the shots. So his assists are perhaps a tad inflated.

3) He does sit on the low block at times setting screens - but not looking to initiate or score.

4) He floats around on defense. There is probably a rhyme and reason to where he positions himself and who he guards - but I find it hard to decipher at times. I understand the switcheroo defensive schemes complicate this, but seriously how he left Belli on an island against LeBron is beyond me.

5) He gets a bunch of Westbrook rebounds (which you have noted) - but at least it makes sense because it puts him in the best position to succeed on offense.

6) He isn't a triple threat on offense - yet.

Btw, I'm assuming you guys saw the interview of Simmons after their game last night.
He was asked about the hoodie message from DM, and he said Donovan was endorsing him as a rookie, cause it was his (Simmons') first season 'playing'. He went onto say that it was all in good fun and that DM is a 'great player' who would have won ROTY if Simmons wasn't around. (He kind of mucked the ending up - but yeah).

I like it. Cool rivalry.
