Re  Ben and the playoff loss

Sure - he played sub par


This was not sub par.
Sub par was Julius' series against the Hawks.

This was a HISTORIC, ALL-TIME cowardly catastrophe.
The m'fer became the worst free throw shooter in the entire entirety of NBA playoff history.
The m'fer didn't take a 4th quarter shot in 5 of 7 games.

Not one......single....shot.

lol....subpar my fat ass, lol, lol, lol


*** threw Ben under a bus? lmao..they were way too polite, wtf you gonna say about that *ish when asked

Ben's FGA per 100 possessions OR per 36 minutes in these playoffs? Lower than Frank "afraid to shoot" Ntilikina's at any time in his career, rofl...subpar, you wanna call that subpar?

His refusal to even attempt to play basketball cost the Sixers a spot in the ECF, it's that simple.

PPS: Thank God training camp is just around the corner.  My LAST post on this petulant pup.

I too have said my piece and will speak no more on Ben, may he thrive and prosper wherever he ends up...

lol, jk, kind of, but ya get the point! (defends four positions with aplomb, DURING A SINGLE POSSESSION, pretty f'n close to eleeeeeeet, can count on my 12 fingers the number of pro's with the desire or court awareness to even try, don't make me bring the videotape)

** and i really would rather have Frank at 1.5 + RJ + Quickly + Mitch + Fournier + 4 first round picks + whoever else you throw into the mix to make the inevitable proposed Ben-to-the-Knicks trade package work..

**** the BEN-HEAD is clearly cracked, and once it's cracked ya never can tell where it all ends up, especially once you get Kardashians in the mix! Would not surprise me at all to have some kind of Lamar Odom situation on tap and our 40 Million Dollar Man ends up comatose in a skanky brothel.

40 Million Bucks for a guy who makes Frankie Smokes seem fresh, fly, wild and BOLD. As Don King says, "Only in America!"

really, when you see m'fer's with skillz like those, not get better at all, and start, in fact, to downslide, the next step is generally FURTHER DETERIORATION. History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men, I'll keep the 40 million bucks, thanks, whichever way it goes!

I don't recall Gobert having a jump shot.

rofl...

I don't recall Gobert passing up a wide open dunk cause he was terrified of being sent to the line and costing his team a playoff victory.

I don't recall Gobert refusing to take a FGA attempt in four consecutive playoff game fourth quarters

this MF'er BEN is truly ELEEET

(if i'm going to pay a versatile defensive eleeeet who is afraid to shoot I'd rather give it to French Frank at 1.5 mil lol...have 38.5 mil left over for snacks!)

I think Ben has been steady across 4 years


Stunning how steady years 1-4.
Rare to see such a player show no growth in any area from the moment he comes into the league.
The per 36 completely flatlined, well actually, FGA, boards, assists...all down.

Have to wonder if Lester knows what Ben Simmons career FG percentage is.

Have to wonder if Kiid knows where Clint Capela lives.  ;)

Chip is also wondering where you would "slot" Simmons in ATL's lineup

Too funny.

Legit issue. Atlanta's magic is guys like Huerter, Hunter, Gallo, etc just killing you when you focused down on Trae. You got Capela & Simmons in the same lineup and suddenly things aren't so dangerous. Ben's woes are very real and not gonna disappear with a change of scenery. He's got to slot into the right fit. I actually like such a trade a lot for Philly, particularly with a Cooper or picks tossed in.

In no way did I mean to imply that Mr. Simmons possessed one iota of Mr. Rodman's style of play or toughness. The similarity, a game with out FGA!

That said, I don't think there's a chance in hell Morey trades Ben for any package revolving around a Malik Beasley or that ilk, lol, no way, never happen. H'ed rather sit his ass, fine him and wait. Won't really affect the team. I don't think any of the other 76ers give a F'. Certainly not Embid. While he'll never get a crazy package, he can wait until somebody else becomes disgruntled, Harden-style. Maybe it's Lillard. Who knows. There's four years on that contract. No hurry. Trade value can't get lower.

Damn hard to fake a rosy smoke cloud around a mf'er who doesn't take a single 4th quarter shot in four straight playoff games as his team gets eliminated....and then you add in the lowest FT% in NBA Postseason history, lol.

"Great Job Ben! You're the Best!"

No way to cover up that stink.

Maybe we just need to recalibrate and think of him as some kinda Dennis Rodman v2 w/more assists and fewer rebounds.

Course nobody would pay DRv2 40 million a year.

lol...not so fast.

Nets can surely be extraordinary.
And could equally be a season-long fiasco.

Body on all three superstars could certainly fail. Kyrie averages about 50 games a year, for starters.
Head on two of three superstars could certainly fail. Harden, after all, is perhaps the greatest proven choke-job artist in NBA history. And Kyrie is Kyrie.

Don't be awarding any East titles yet. Hardly automatic.

Les, how many wins the Kicks next season? Mostly everybody else has made a prediction.

We get 82 games again right?
Played at like a 45/46 win pace last year.
Elf's gone, that's gotta be a +5 boost right there, so gimme 51!

**** surely a lowball, but trying to keep in mind that we did lose Reggie Bullock after the four-decade long search for a Reggie Bullock finally brought us Reggie Bullock and don't want to get tooooo crazy!

I love how everybody (almost) has got everybody (almost) 100% evaluated and assigned after about 9 minutes of play, lol, particularly the fresh-of-a-plane furriners.


*** I'm just sitting back and enjoying the show, 6 games in 9 days in the middle of summer...YUM. Pretty impressed by the fluidity, team-ball readiness and general respectable level of play compared to my memories of summer leagues past.
