Thrown out of practice today. The process continues Dumber than anti-vaxxers, dumber than Trump-will-be-president-by-January mouthbreathers. No one is as stupid as a person who believes in The Process. How about a Penn State cultist who didn't even go to school there and thinks Joe Paterno didn't know about Jerry Sandusky?

Pro Bowl OL Lane Johnson is back from missing multiple games due to 'personal reasons' Came out the 'personal reasons' were depression/anxiety. Wonder if it goes deeper - if his depression was spiked even more by playing for a rookie coach who is getting destroyed in the media for having no clue what he's doing and having no identity from game to game running a high school offense and not utilizing his RBs at all I'm not blaming Nick - he's a rookie coach - going to be growing pains (we have the weapons just need to learn how to utilize them properly) - I just question if this is what led Lane to bolt for a few weeks - his aggravation with these growing pains - he's not getting any younger I'd rather have the guy be a head case than just quit on the team because he doesn't like the coach. And what have we here, you're actually criticizing the team? I thought it was all gravy, part of the process, building for next year, Hurtsy is god, that receiver who made a one handed grab in practice would lead you to the promised land, etc? I sense another bender coming on, and the season isn't even over yet. I'm not criticizing the team/Nick at all.
These are the growing pains a young team with a 1st year QB and rookie head coach go through
It's the media here that is obliterating him 24/7 - we're 6 games into the season
We'll be fine - I just question if Lane was actually frustrated being 31 and having to play for a rookie HC trying to figure things out right now

Vezina Trophy Winner 2021/22 Carter had a horrific defense in front of him last year. Problem Solved. He also had a tendency to drop too quickly to his knees in his sophomore season and the opposition appeared to have solved him going glove side high. Looks like CH is back in rookie form when he was lights out

I prefer my $258 million QBs to know when to get rid of the ball
Not rush for 26 yards on 9 attempts 
I'd also prefer if I'm making somebody the 2nd highest paid player in the league - to muster a single 4th Quarter point instead putting up a goose egg and watching your opponent mount a comeback all quarter 
$258 million

Give them the trophy now! There were (are) whispers that Ben was going to do what Jimmy Buckets did with the Wolves a few years back - report to the team to collect a paycheck (not get fined) but then state he was injured - be a disruption creating dissension within the team then eventually getting traded (which he did)
Then The Beard eventually came back to the Rockets after demanding a trade - I can't remember if he pulled the injury card when he first came back - if memory serves wasn't he held out because he visited a strip club breaking Covid Protocol - played a handful of games and then was traded? i.e. - he was a headache.
Ben speaks to the media today for the first time We're all on pins and needles to see what he has to say 
Ben at practice yesterday - yeeeeeeahhhhhhhh - Get it!

Just Broke - Per NBA Insider and The Athletic's Sam Amick - 'As detailed in here in this season preview column at @theathletic, a source with knowledge of Ben Simmons' situation said his intent is to play in actual games. The factors that will lead to that happening, however, remain a mystery.'Curious if he plays the opener Wednesday at the Pels - smart thing to do - may be to hold him out that game, then at home vs. the Nets - then have him start off the season Sunday at OKC and then there's another road game vs. the Knicks that upcoming Tuesday. Babysteps  Let's Roll Baby!

This vanilla, boring, ham and cheese sandwich with 0 personality was our coach for a few years
He comes 'home' tonight
This was a horrible choice for the Kraken as their 1st HC in franchise history - you need somebody with personality to drum up interest and intrigue in the team. I never saw this guy laugh, joke around, smile. Might as well just hire a robot.
CH in between the pipes tonight...
FLY OR DIE!

Options, options, options folks.....
What would you do with 3 incredibly high 1st Round Draft Picks?
- Just use them to load up in areas of need? - Trade back to gain even more assets? - Package them and trade up to nab the Top QB Prospect in the Draft? - Trade them for a disgruntled vet who wants out like Russ, AROD or Watson? (I want no part of this plan at all)

Per Shams -
Celtics waive Jabari Parker
Another failed Duke product - atrocious defender - could never stay healthy either
