Bench Simmons and Embiid for the rest of the game. They are unacceptable.

He seems unwilling to play in the post.

He’s embarrassing Brett. Either Brett is okay with him dribbling on the perimeter until he bounces it off his foot and heaving garbage threes, or Jo just doesn’t care.

I don't think Embiid nor Simmons understands that their effort in the playoffs will dictate who they will have and won't have on their team next year. Luckily this is only the 9th time out of 10 games against M.Gasol that's Embiid's been bad.

One of the worst halves we've played all year.

*** I get we’re losing. But none of these guys are showing heart outside of Butler and Simmons for a 1.5 minute span. That’s what pisses me off.

we got our chance to win this series in that game 4.

Anyways the bucks will just murder us in the EFC, so yeah that makes me feel better.

Embiid is the main reason this team has given up right now.. his energy and Defense are severly missed. Unreal that he gets ultra sick during the most important series of this franchise in the last 15 years, unreal.

Hopefully Ben is somewhere else.

Pretty sure they are ok with that. Ben gets the ball back and Embiid gets all shots.

this team is just entitled and immature. when things are easy and going their way, you see the smiles and Embiid dancing.
i had hoped the Boston series last year would've humbled them, but sadly Simmons and Embiid haven't learned a thing.


Embiid and Simmons melt down in the playoffs when things get tough.
they just aren't mature enough yet to understand you have to be on your A game every night in the playoffs.

you don't get away with coasting in the playoffs against elite teams. This isn't Brooklyn or Miami.
they 100% expected Toronto to roll over and die after Game 3.

Jimmy is the only star who gets it and has the sense of urgency.

The "Adult" in the room will want to join other adults this offseason. Embiid and Ben still have some growing and maturing to do.

our best player right now is a ghost on the court, what do you expect, budy?

He is the anchor of the team, of course that the whole team will give up.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
