Ben Simmons makes a 3pt shot

Rjd, they one the title after the move was made. Hush now.

Was the Blatt reference above meant to sound familiar? Highly successful coach ousted because the Rich Paul-connected superstar felt their relationship wasn't strong enough, so they forced a break-up and replaced the coach with someone that the superstar had a better pre-existing relationship with (who then ran a more superstar-centric offense).

Can someone who agrees with the Lemanis sacking please put your team together, I don’t know enough about the nba, you must have this in your knowledge.
Team and position please.

You're underestimating how important Ben Simmons is in relation to the 'sample size' theory

NO fan of the Boomers is of belief, that on principal Lemanis should still be there, IF it means we wouldn't have gotten Ben Simmons.

Talent will always squash the quality of the coach and the 'sample size' of that coach.

ME and Koberulz, pretty sickened by this thread heading. Have some sympathy fellas, the reign of lemanis has fallen and the 3 was the dagger in their ‘never been wrong’ hearts.

1-18 not bad, thought he made world peace with the headlines.

"And Patty Mills started for the first time in forever. I think we finally have an Australia Day date we can all agree on"

@Curtley: I would happily get behind that.

And Patty Mills started for the first time in forever. I think we finally have an Australia Day date we can all agree on.

in the NBA, the superstar is king because of the $ he brings. They can keep it!

Thank God I live in Australia, where common sense and teamwork still has some impact, where someone who needs to put up 30 shots to get 10 baskets is told to sit down instead of to keep shooting, and where players are told to work hard at both ends of the court instead of being carried on defence by team-mates who are paid millions to shut up and suck it up.

Bogut was the number one pick, he never seem to have a problem.

Haha. One tongue in cheek comment and the fanbois stop watching NBA plays of the week just long enough to post more of their usual rubbish. Whoooosh.

LMAO at #933

Cool good for him now he can always say he hit a 3 in the NBA like Shaq.

" You don't know what Lemanis would do with Simmons because he never bothered turning up. Pretty simple isn’t it, turn up work hard earn spot. Simmons and Bolden struggle with this concept."

why should people like Simmons and Bolden who play in the best league in the world earn their minutes ? People like kay, sobey, goulding who play in an average league like the Nbl are the ones who should earn their minutes. Oh wait, they should not even be in the boomers team because they are not good enough.

" Lemanis Would put Kay in the starting lineup and use Simmons of the bench."

Yes, he is crazy but people like ME, rjd would agree with the insane thing lemanis does.

Great overall game by Ben. 18 points (on 9 shots) 7 boards, 12 assists a steal and a block on only one TO.

You don’t know what Lemanis would do with Simmons because he never bothered turning up. Pretty simple isn’t it, turn up work hard earn spot. Simmons and Bolden struggle with this concept.

And Brett Brown was his coach. He has never made a three when coached by Lemanis.
