Since when is telling the truth a burn?

Man, this is the beginning of the end right here. Simmons needs a change of scenery anyway. It would be for the best for him.

Ben Simmons shouldnt play in traffic if he doesn't want to get hit by a bus.

As bad as that play was, that 3 pt foul by #22 is worse.

Yeah Simmons ain’t coming back to Philly.

I think everyone knew the game was over once Simmons passed up a wide open lay up. That was game for me.

Why is that critical moment, they were down by only one point , Embiid was missing some crucial shots. I think those were more critical than Simmons passing that open dunk. Embiid is as much to blame for losing the game. He choked too.

As he should, must be infuriating to play with him

Someone tell the "Simmons still has big time potential" guy that even Ben doesn't believe that

As someone who didn’t watch half the game, can you tell me what he’s referring to?

Fully agree with the sentiment but Embiid also had 8 turnovers. If you have 8 turnovers as a CENTER then you gotta take some ownership too

Also Thybulles foul was just as bad, if not worse

Don’t forget that late turnover that made it a 6 point game. Joel seems to have forgotten it. I’m guessing because he turns it over so often he probably just lost track.
