You speak the truth.

I contracted and beat tuberculosis more times than Ben Simmons has hit a three in a regular season game.

The only three players on a roster that can go on the ball and score from multiple levels are Tobias Harris, Furkan Korkmaz and Trey Burke.

Everyone else is useless in the halfcourt.


sure, embiid is useless in the halfcourt. chill dude.

Maybe they should’ve listened to Jo and kept Jimmy and Redick, and traded Ben and let Tobias walk?

Yeah, but Jimmy Butler as a fit sucks too in the sense that he doesn't do shhh off the ball and wouldn't space for Joel at all.

I really want the media to start getting on his ass again about shooting. you could see he was really annoyed about it, and then took that 3 pointer. I think it's because he doesn't like being asked the question. Time to start getting in his face again about it. I hope Joel brings it up as well. You know Jo was all about Jimmy staying. If Simmons doesn't take on a bigger load, Jo will make him hear about it eventually. He's not one to shut up about things. i'd rather this whole thing burn to the ground, than for us to keep coddling this guy. I love Brown, but enough is enough. Run some damn plays for him to score, and make it a requirement to should a minimum of 8 jumpers a game (not fadeways). Force it down his throat until he demands a trade. That would be great then we can get a real player who can actually put the ball in the fawking hoop.

Players on 25% or higher (of the cap) contracts cannot be role players.

I realize nothing big is happening during the year. But unless they win the title, come the summer, they really need to trade Simmons.


He's not on that contract yet, and he certainly has a much bigger impact on the game than Harris does, who is on an even bigger deal.

I've gotta stay away from game threads when they lose. The takes annoy me more than the actual loss


Thats not accurate at all. Period. 2-8 when our best player is out is trash. Most of his steals turn in to nothing because he dribbles the ball in to the paint and throws it out behind him.

I am over the Ben Simmons experience lol.

someone has to call dude out. He brings the ball up, see space and then passes it and then loiters around.

at least Tony Wroten it up my g and throw yourself at the rim on occasion. Its mind blowing really.

but oh well. it is what it is.

And dudes have been telling you for years that he's not good enough at it. Picked up an offensive foul on a horizontal first step. It was impressive.

Tonight's loss decidedly on Embiid in my mind. He cost us. He play and we likely win. Full stop. Grow up!

Running through the post in the halfcourt is archaic and leads to a million turnovers and tough contested shots. Joel Embiid was awful against Boston and Toronto in the playoffs in the halfcourt.

Who's the alternative on the ball? Ben Simmons is USELESS on the ball in the halfcourt. Josh Richardson is a catch and shoot player. Face it, Furkan is a way better option than our regular guys.

Like I said, I've got to stay away from the game threads, because if that's anything but a hot take (that Harris has a bigger impact on the game than Simmons), I think you're insane.

You guys are out of your minds if you think we are suddenly going to get a brand new Ben Simmons the moment he starts shooting. He's always going to have games like this, jumper or not.

Let’s not overlook the fact that Josh Richardson has pretty much been buttcheeks since the Celtics game.

running through a beast in the paint leads to a million open shots or easy buckets too. and i know its bad excuse, but embiid was sick. a healthy embiid can not be stopped

Richardson and Harris are way better alternatives than Furkan unless he's catching someone off guard. Not that either of them are good at it.
