I think if the sixers were competing for the 4th best record he would be playing. Given they are competing for the 4th worst they are being very conservative.


So as far as you guys are aware he's more or less healed? That's good to hear. Pity we didn't get to see him this season, though.

still very annoyed and feel scammed that Simmons didn't play this year.

i 100% believe he could've played the last 15 games or so, and it would've been very beneficial for both him and the fanbase who's had to put up with a lot of bull this season.

If opening day starting lineup doesn't include both Simmons and Embiid I will start to lose hope.

Simmons never shoots jumpers when he warms up before games. Why? Last year Embiid shot jumper after jumper. Who cares if he clanks them over and over. So what. Simmons is almost like a robot meaning he doesn't put anything out there that could be a bad look for him. His pics on Instagram are all staged and you know he probably takes multiple picture before he gets the best one. He just about all the time has his arms gen same way when he's standing for a pic.

It's like if there is footage out there of him clanking shot after shot then he will not be able to sleep at night. When he was asked if he would work on his shooting while he was out he answered he would work on everything. He won't let anyone think he thinks he can't shoot. He even said he was a good shooter in high school. What's so hard with saying he would work on his shooting instead of saying everything? He and his team make sure here's no bad pics or footage of him out there.

His representation are treating him like Lebron. Remember when Lebron wouldn't let anyone see him getting dunked on at that camp? Hair transplants... All the same crap.

It does not matter if there is no footage of him missing multiple shots or making multiple shots. People will be able to see the truth with their own eyes in the not to distant future.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Exactly. So why not shoot in warm ups? All he does is dribble and dunk or shoot a layup.

Are you actually at the warmups? Are you just saying that he doesn't post videos of it to his instagram page or whatever?

During the game today CSN showed a short clip of him shooting pregame. Also Below is a clip of him shooting at practice back in January that I found after 3 seconds of googling:

It's a disgrace they are letting him do this before he even got his latest scan to check his foot.

How does this keep happening? Why is he even warming up in the first place???

I guess this is what happens when the organization is being run by Scott O'Neil.

If he's dunking his foot must be fine. I'm not concerned. I don't care.

Like I said during the game they showed a short clip of him shooting at the Pacers arena before the game today. Were you in Indianapolis today? I'm not trying to be combative I'm just confused as to where you are getting this information. You're attacking the guy's character pretty hard I assume you are basing this on more than his instagram page.

We said the same with Embiid when he was doing under the leg sunks. And a couple months ago with Simmons. We know how the story goes with this organization.

The dude broke his foot jumping high in the air, and now when his foot isn't fully healed, here he is jumping really high in the air again. What if he came down awkwardly? It's just stupid. These people are clueless.

The pass, great. The dunk, just average.

Embiid was doing those dunks before any redflags appeared with his scan, and he never was symptomatic anyway by that point.

With Simmons, I thought he stepped on someone's foot and rolled his foot over. I don't think it had anything to do with jumping.
