NBA Season 2021-22

So Ben Simmons has a herniated disc in his back? He takes most of the year off and ends up being injured? That’s crazy stuff right there.

Hasn't he always had back troubles...

Chet Holmgren and Pokusevski on the same team would be nuts.

Oh I wasn’t familiar with that. It’s just crazy how he might end up not playing at all this season.

Was talking specifically how harden was playing. He is about 43% from the field in Brooklyn, 22 points 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 3.5 turnovers. So obviously solid but not mvp harden. He came in shooting 60% from the field so obviously has fallen quite a bit since then shooting. Or basically exactly what I said but 4 games and not 2.

Blazers and pistons playing a game neither probably wants to win right now.

10.5 assists to 3.4 turnovers is pretty good. 9.8 free throws at 87% is huge. 22.4 points on 13 or so field goals a game + 10 assists is pretty ideal for a #2.

I think he has had back issues in past , but this is the most specific as to what is wrong exactly .

Heat about to lose to Phily's skeleton crew. Pretty embarrassing.

Miami is a weird team.

That being said, I wouldn't want to have to deal with Spoelstra over a playoff series if avoidable

I'm fine with that. Don't want Boston any higher than the 4 seed

[RMO]

Do I need to be concerned about the Lakers winning tonight?

Harden was playing at a near MVP level from about Christmas until he got hurt at the end of January i.e. 26.4 p, 10.9 a, 8.3 r with a GmSc of 23.1.  Turnovers were up a bit, but that time correlates a lot to Durant missing time when he needed to up his production some.  In Philly, he is again a full time #2 and his efficiency has gone up as he has taken less shots, but still very effective and I absolutely believe if Embiid went down, Harden would again boost his scoring and his role.  Harden has never really been given enough credit for adapting his game to fit his teammates.  And his 3 year peak in Houston may very well be the greatest 3 consecutive seasons anyone has ever played offensively (his defense obviously leaves a lot to be desired).
