I’m sorry but LeBron and Ben are awful comparisons. I do get tired of being lumped in with idiot Steelers fans (not most Steelers fans on here) I know 98% is for sport and you know damn well how squeaky clean and lame I am and no way do I condone anyone every raping anyone in any way.

Ben as a human beings sucks in so many ways. Who denies this? Is there a single person on here that denies that? Any player that acts like a baby when his team drafts someone in his position is just the worst. God forbid a team draft someone that might replace you or compete with you. Ben is dramatic, immature, irritating and his past occurrences earn the scumbag POS title. I don’t know what else to say?

I still think my old post was very applicable here but I honestly probably don’t remember as well as you do.

I’ll ask again ....can we move this to it’s own thread? I’ll play as much as you want.

 

I only brought up Lebron, because Auto did.  Auto could have picked someone better than that lol. I am not claiming you're a bad person for rooting for the Steelers (although you have seen my takes on you all being bandwagon fans), I am just saying it's ok to accept that some of your players are scumbags instead of finding the need to deflect or defend them.  Maybe I missed it, but I still haven't seen one person just say yeah Rapistberger is a piece of shit.   We can  move this to another thread, fine by me.  It is an interesting convo of where the line goes with rooting for your team and having scumbags on them. I thought crowell was a piece of shit, but if the Browns were winning I would be lying if I said I wouldn't get excited if he broke a couple 50+ yard TD runs on the Steelers. 

So how bout those NBA playoffs?

Good shit.  I say the Celtics close it out tonight.  WCF starts May 14th I think I saw, so if the Celtics close out tonight I wonder if the Cavs series will begin May 13 or 15.

Unless it goes 7, it will start on Sunday...at least according to this article.

Stupid Canadians.

Apparently Paul George had some sort of surgery today. 

I think the Raptors need to change something up, but I don't think firing Casey is the solution. 

Sixers fighting to stay alive. 

Sixers suck at the end of these games

Smart travelled at the end. Sixers should have had a final shot.

I'm guessing that call is made in Philly.

Also, im pretty sure most of us have been pretty open about how we think Lebron is pretty douchey. BR is included in that group. Steelers fans still can’t call a spade a spade with rapistberger.

Nah,  many Steeler fans like my self agree BR is a dick.....but if wins,which he has done a lot of, we strive on.

Older I get the less I care about th players and more about team results 

Any interest in the ongoing ROY debate? 

IMO....Simmons > Mitchell and it's not really close.

But the fact that you can sit the first year then be considered a rookie is nonsense. The minute you sign your first NBA deal you're a rookie, end of discussion.

Mitchell went way beyond expectations and Utah did as well without Hayward. I’m definitely taking Simmons on my team over Mitchell but that isn’t the question.

I really have no issue with either winning or there being a co winner.

Simmons is a mid range jumper from being elite

I’m taking Mitchell over Simmons 100 times out of 100 times. I like Simmons, but Mitchell is on another level. 

How is it possible that none of the coaches picked Brad Stevens for coach of the year?

Sounds like a fun avatar bet of sorts but too long of a process.

Maybe this place will still be around in 5 years and we can come back to it.

Simmons had a historical year and compared to Mitchell, is better at every measurable aside from ppg. 

People love scoring though, so I understand why they would take Mitchell. I'd venture to say if you polled  NBA GMs on who they would prefer, it would be Simmons in a landslide.

I’m not sure how anyone could want Mitchell over Simmons. That seems absurd to me.

I think he’s a better player and more clutch.

Yeah, I mean I gathered that. It just goes against every single metric out there comparing the 2.

Scary to think that Philly could have both.
