Feel free to point out a single thing I said that isn't true. A point guard or any player that refuses to shoot outside 3 feet significantly hinders an offense. Clippers were openly abandoning covering Simmons to double or triple Embiid using Simmons' man. It's just a fact.
Oh and his defense sucks, and he can't rebound, and he can't pass the ball, right? Oh wait he does all those things, and thus is an All-Star, and thus he's a big part of what makes the Sixers a good defensive team. Trying to sell him off as a liability in order to bolster up Embiid is comical.
How is Jokic doing offensively without Murray?
Still elite. Maybe your next argument will be to tell us why Morris is a better PG than Simmons.
The Simmons hate is dumb. The real point is the Sixers offense is awesome with Embiid (and Simmons) on the court while also being elite defensively.
I agree, and I find it annoying when Nuggets fans do the same and try to belittle the supporting cast. Its a sick trend I see people use when they want to argue in favor of their preferred MVP candidate. At the end of the day they're all NBA players, the most elite of elite basketball players on the planet. People need to sop likening them to G-leaguers just to bolster their dude up.
