Refs are giving them everything. I don't think he can play aggressively and stay out of foul trouble this game, honestly.


His first foul was a legitimate charge. Ben did his typical run into the paint with no plan and crashed into a guy.


Wasn't a comment on his fouls specifically, just on how the game is being officiated and how Ben might fare in the second half.

I'd rather watch Joe play than Danny Green at this point. At least Joe has the wherewithal to know not to put the ball on the ground get it ripped.

It’s just amazing to me we can’t be competitive with a three and 13 team without Joel. It really is astonishing.

Ultimately, we are not good enough to beat trash teams without Embiid and Simmons playing less than 25 minutes.

It is more amazing on how you can differently phrase your same take so many times.

Guys I think we get it

This is like if we found out an asteroid was going to crash into earth in a month and we couldn’t stop and we’re mad and you’re like, well you know this is coming why do you care. You can expect something and still be mad it’s happening. The many failures by this team after taking embiid are a disgrace and if we never get past the second round this fan base should be furious.

How so? You've spent most of this evening complaining that Joel isn't playing, because obviously we'll lose without him.

Because reading the same **** over and over from the same posters gets old.

You in particular is extra annoying. No one is buying your stupid pro Simmons **** man.


I just cant believe there are people who go through life that have nothing better to do than spam the same bit over and over.

I was just explaining what happened on the foul I did see so Negro would know.

I wish Dwight would just secure the stupid rebound instead of his 5 percent tip chances

Being mad about things you cannot control is just not healthy IMO.

Look there are things about this team I am frustrated about and I hope they change and improve. It totally sucks that we look like hot ass without Jo yet again. That does not mean I am going to keep repeating that over and over again tho. I think we all are actually on the same page in terms of where this team is at. Team is good but not great IMO. But IMO the best thing is to let things organically grow instead of the constant tinkering of the last few years which means games like this where the teams talent level shows...for better or for worse.

But honestly it’s just the repetition that gets to me honestly

Enough of the trolling. Stop lumping him in with Embiid. If Simmons wanted to or had the ability to make his imprint on this game he would have.

Tony Bradley can hang around a tad (liking his activity around the rim)

Disagree, he was in foul trouble all the game, that is the issue.

Embarrassingly ticky tack officiating crew. Get this crap out of here and call it so it at least seems like it’s the same sport as in the playoffs.
