NBA Stars' Comments and Reactions to Rookie Donovan Mitchell

[jope]

Was supposed to go to the gym but CBF'd, gotta pick something up from the post office but that can wait until tomorrow, may go to the pub, that is probable. Will at least do some weights before i go.

Nothing says gym rat like 'pub' and 'weights before pub'.
Hey I am not one to talk - haven't lifted weights or been in a gym for 15 years

If you get a big enough glass... and have enough of them... That’s basically 50 curls. What more do you need?

Interesting he has Lauri and Jayson tagged here, but not Simmons:


Probably nothing...

Or it's just that Simmons is a douchebag.

Yes, you are bat **** crazy for thinking there's some kind of conspiracy. Embiid was drafted knowing that he'd be out and Simmons broke his foot. As for Fultz, maybe he could come back this season, but I'm sure the Sixer's are in this for the long haul. They need Fultz's shoulder to be 100% and THEN work on fixing his shot. So no sense to rush him back.

The Jazz is 10-14 with Mitchell playing withoutout Gobert, including a 5 game winning streak. It’s more than 10 percent above the winning percentage of a 3-8 record. And we won against Cavaliers and Pelicans solely because of the performance put up by Mitchell. He won those games for us. And how many games has Simmons won for Philly again?

These deluded mitchell homers laughed at Simmons' winning % when Embiid was out of the team.
But the fact is, mitchell's record was even worse than simmons' when Gobert was not playing, he had 4 wins, 11 losses. These retards need a reality check。

Are Simmons homers so desperate to the point that they have to make up fake stats now?

I don't make up stat, I am quoting libertyballer which states that Mitchell 's record was 4-11 when Rudy was absent.

Just guarded is my guess. His journey to the nba was totally different to most.

Media, pressure, expectation, relocating at what 15? Being the #1 highschool player in the nation to being #1 college recruit and #1 draft pick. He's had a lot of bad/negative media coverage over the years too.
What was the theme at LSU?
"he cant win", "he cant make it in the nba if he cant shoot", "hes a bad teammate", "he doesnt respect college tradition", "Spoilt and entitled".
Following his college career I felt there was always more rooting against him than for him. There was actually genuine discussion of him being a BUST!

Now in the NBA. The discussion around Simmons is centered around the ROTY and "red shirt" issue instead of focusing on his incredible play?

I would guess he has had very few positive experiences with the media and lets be honest. He doesnt need them.

Here is what the libertyballer says. Unless libertyballer lies, the record is 4~11.

" Donovan Mitchell's fans proclaim him to be the driving force in the Utah Jazz’ resurgence, ignoring the fact that during Rudy Gobert’s most recent absence, the team accumulated a record of 4-11. Since Gobert’s return, the Jazz are 11-2. Mitchell has been pretty incredible during the Jazz’ win streak, and they would not have won 10 straight without him. Mitchell, however, is not solely responsible for the team’s success and using the streak as evidence of his superiority to Simmons is faulty at best. "

So nice that when Utahjazzz posts the front page only shows "Ignored member"

Big kudos to whoever introduced the ignore function

You guys should give it a try, it'll save you the hassle to reply to that idiot

 

[jom2003]

#1 I don't even know who the **** libertyballer is. Why should I care?

#2 game logs on basketball reference clearly show that Gobert miss way more than just 15 games this season. And the Jazz is 11-15 without him(and 1-1 without Gobert or Mitchell)

He’s 10-14 without Gobert. Go check it. The qualifier added is “during Rudy Gobert’s most recent absence.”

"Most recent games" were also the ones against tougher opponents. Yet we still managed to beat Washington in Washington, beat Boston in Boston, etc.
