NBA Playoffs 2021

What is this about Simmons and his off hand.

[radiohead]

Ben Simmons might never recover from this. What a fraud. This is his 4th quarters:

Game 1: 2-2 FG
Game 2: 0-0 FG
Game 3: 1-1 FG
Game 4: 0-0 FG
Game 5: 0-0 FG
Game 6: 0-0 FG
Game 7: 0-0 FG

Wow!!! Love it

100% FG percentage. A playoff masterpiece. Doesn’t get more clutch than that.

And he has 4 years of max salary left in his contract? Wow.

Yeah, we oughta take some time to appreciate "hawks, suns, clippers, bucks".

Somewhere, someone who's absolutely HORRIBLY TERRIBLE at predicting basketball games, is going "SEE SEE SEE I TOLD YOU SO GUYS I TOLD YOU SO"

Somebody posted this over on Reddit:

In the time since The Process began, the Atlanta Hawks have made the conference finals, lost everybody and completely rebuilt, and made the conference finals again

With a minimum of 70 attempts, Ben Simmons' 34.2% free throw percentage this postseason is the worst in a postseason in NBA history.

It doesn't seem long ago that we had certain posters prophesizing the dominance of the 76ers for many years to come.  All those high draft picks would guarantee rings.  Shameless tanking would redefine the NBA and show everyone how a rebuild should really be done.

...Until you realize that you actually still have to make good management decisions.  Seemed clear to me that Simmons was never built for winning the second he quit all of his classes at LSU.  Never found him to be an impressive player.  And all of those other poor choices with those invaluable draft picks.

Embiid still has a lot of basketball in him, but the Process so far has been an utter failure.  I'm loving it.

His value has truly tanked. Overrated and exposed in the playoffs.

If he had 20% the drive of a player like Kobe he’d be a dominant player. Never worked on his limitations, still shoots like a grade school kid, and is a huge liability despite the fact that he should have a huge advantage at PG.

I'm so happy right now.  No LeBron, no 3 stooges, no embiid.  Rooting for a phoenix Milwaukee finals

True but also a sign of what the NBA has become, we dont have ''teams'' like we did in 80s and 90s that stayed together and we don't have the players and toughness we did. I don't care if we are seeing all of these record scoring performances by players. The Celtics , Lakers , Sixers and Pistons of the 80's would eat these teams alive

Doc already frustrated at his PG lol moving him sees the easiest path to a shake up. They have to do something because he isn’t even visible on the floor in the clutch.

Man, don't really like him, but props to Ben for handling the post-game press conference. They killed him in the questions lol

That just blew my mind.

Imagine having the coolest superpower ever.

And wasting it like that.

Man.

Wish I could turn invisible too.

That is coaching….the coach’s should have looked at those stats and ordered him to shoot or bench him. The idiotic thing about Simmons is he does not even force the issue. Force the issue, get the other team in individual and team foul trouble..

coaches can only do so much as ive said before. Brett Brown has asked Simmons this and they changed coaches and its still the same. At some point people should realize its first and foremost on the players.

[esel1000]

Ben should switch his position to C... I’m half kidding, that may actually be his best position, especially in the era of small ball.

[Donoghus]

Looking back now, I’m sure there is some real gold in that old “All Things Philly” thread.

Yeah look - with Rondo passing on wide open layups in favour of assists it was one thing. Ben's just scared.

Guy needs to see someone for his anxiety.
