Ben Simmons is a bitch.

That's all I have to say. Homie may wind up retiring from the NBA for being a whiny bitch in a few years. Philly embraced him and he ****ing bailed. If I'm Philly, I trade him to Detroit, show him a real fun time. Who cares what you get back, no one will trade anything for that playoff choker anyway.

Ben Simmons as small ball five with a big man that can shoot would be a top 5 player on the game.

Kings should trade for him immediately.

What is The Process if not a big man who can shoot?

Simmons has been wilting like a flower.

Last year in the post season he averaged 11.9 PPG in the post season. Embiid averaged 28.1.

They take up similar space on the floor. I don’t think the two can coexist.

It makes sense that the sixers would keep embid though.

Of course it makes sense. Embiid is likable and one of the best players in the league. Only knock on him is health. If he could stay healthy he would go down as one of the best big men of all time

[thethe]

Yeah - There is no reason to knock Embid other than health and I agree skillwise he is a top big of all time.

I am still a big believer in Simmons.

You just have to surround him with all shooters and let him occupy the painted area with nobody else clogging the lane. A Fox + for Simmons trade would be huge for both teams.

Makes too much sense for it to not happen.

Reminds me of the time Eric Spolestra got in the way of an OKC player shooting a pivotal three in the finals.

Sixers got Harden. I guess NEts fans are casuals

Great to hear Skip's voice again. This was a good one.

Down 2-0 in the series heading home, facing a virtual must-win given NBA history, and Durant & Irving were only able to muster 16 pts each. I know the Celtics are a terrific defensive team, but how does Durant only take 11 FG's and get to the line twice? He was on the court for 46 minutes. How does Irving go 0-7 from deep? What a no show from those guys.

Durant & Irving made the right decision going to the team in NY that no one cares about. There might be a literal riot at the Garden if they were on the Knicks and this series went down the way it has...

[zitothebrave]

Nets aren't a NY team anyway.

Lol Brooklyn swept.

Man I really am glad another year that Kyrie didn't win. Even better that the team that he ditched 3 years ago did it to him.

Kyrie is a bitch. Simmons is a bitch. Hopefully Durant wisens up and leaves BRooklyn.

[Runnin]

I am still a big believer in Simmons.

Are you still a big believer?

I don't feel sorry for Durant. The super team idea has taken a few blows this year, as has the idea that star players know how to build rosters.

[Runnin]

This is shaping up to be a great playoffs.

[acesfull86]

Only bummer so far has been the amount of injuries to key players, but it's good to see some teams surviving and getting key players back.

Nothing would really surprise me from here on out. Have futures tickets on Suns and Bucks to win it all, but if I was picking today, I'd lean Celtics. No Middleton is going to be a huge problem for the Bucks in this series vs Boston.

[Runnin]

Steve Kerr is a great, great coach. Shocking how easily the Warriors came back and put away the Celtics, even after the Celtics took game 1 in San Fran. It was an awesome display of team defense and and offense.

Such a satisfying NBA season watching Lebron and KD and Harden go down all trying to be point guards while a team with actual point guards wins it all.
