Yes. He landed on a foot of Giannis' & sprained his ankle yesterday.

Yeah. The Nets still won yesterday vs. Milwaukee. Atlanta has made a comeback vs. Philadelphia & Joel Embid just missed 2 free throws, so the Hawks won by a final score 109-106 after trailing in most of that game. Also, Kawai Leonard is injured & isn't playing today vs. Utah. I still expect his team to win though.
In other news, Stan Van Gundy & the New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly parted ways. Indiana & Nate Bjorkgren have parted ways after 1 season together. Plus, Steve Clifford & the Orlando Nagic have parted ways, along with Scott Brooks & Washington. __________________

You're welcome. There's more news. Boston has traded Kemba Walker, their 2021 1st round draft pick & 2025 2nd round round draft pick to Oklahoma City for Al Horford, Moses Brown, & a 2025 2nd round pick. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...l-horford-more
Great win by Milwaukee yesterday vs. the Nets. Let's go Hawks! Finish off Philly.  __________________

The Atlanta Hawks won their series vs. Philadelphia this week!
 Turnovers again spelled Philly's doom. Also, not getting back on defence in some cases. Late in the 3rd quarter of game 7 Matisse Thybulle had a terrific 1-handed dunk & I'm not joking, less than 7 seconds on the game clock afterwards John Collins was down the court already dunking the basketball. By the way, Trae Young did not shoot the ball well from the field. Kevin Huerter did & it helped lead Atlanta to the Eastern Conference Finals. Ben Simmons had a bunch of assists, but didn't take many field goal attempts in this game. He has a large contract, but struggles a lot shooting a basketball. It's tough if you're a 76ers fan. He struggles making free throws & field goals. Great win Atlanta.__________________

Nice wins, Atlanta and Milwaukee!
Ben Simmons cannot shoot the ball. His confidence (or something) is gone. __________________

Good basketball night tonight. The Suns/Clippers game was really good and my Raptors moved up in the draft!

Yes! Hopefully Kyle Lowry will stick around there & finish his career with Toronto. Supposedly Toronto are the favourites to get Ben Simmons. Unsure why at this time that they would trade for him. Great win by Phoenix. Incredible. All of those reviews late in that game paid off for the Suns certainly. Paul George had good stats, but he missed 2 free throws late & it proved disastrous for the Clippers.

I don't know who would want Ben Simmons right now. But he cannot stay in Philly. He needs a change of scenery and work on his game during this offseason.

Honestly, I wouldn't be all that upset if Kyle and the Raps went separate ways. Kyle isn't getting any younger and I assume he wants a greater shot at another chip. The team also has too many guards as is, and assuming they keep the pick which I think they should do, they'll most likely be getting another. He already said he'll retire a Raptors one way or another.
I almost want to say Simmons could be good for a younger team to build around but no way anyone would want that contract for what he provides. It's gross. Plus I might be worried that his bad habits might rub off on younger teammates. __________________

Oh. Well, terrific win by Atlanta vs. Milwaukee earlier. Trae Young , John Collins & Clint Capela played well for the Hawks in this game. Jrue Holiday & Giannis played well for Milwaukee.

Thanks for the lottery information.
I think Ben Simmons needs to go to a more experienced team with a mentor on it for him. __________________

Thanks for the lottery results.
Oh that's a good idea. But where and who do you think that could be? You'd think Jimmy Butler would have been someone who could have pushed him to be better and still nothing. __________________
