I said Harris is fine.

Stop it, Richardson can barely dribble. He's a step above Robert Covington on the ball. Significantly worse than Furkan Korkmaz.

I've been seriously disappointed with Richardson. Dude looks like he has no idea what he's doing with the ball.

Players on 25% or higher (of the cap) contracts cannot be role players.

I realize nothing big is happening during the year. But unless they win the title, come the summer, they really need to trade Simmons.


He's not on that contract yet, and he certainly has a much bigger impact on the game than Harris does, who is on an even bigger deal.

I've gotta stay away from game threads when they lose. The takes annoy me more than the actual loss


Harris sucking doesn’t take away from Ben sucking.

Simmons pulled out of the World Cup to concentrate on improving his game....

Well that seems to have been a complete ****** lie.

Why doesn’t he just shoot the ******* thing. I don’t understand what the problem is, but I’m starting to think he’s mentally not up to it.

You guys are out of your minds if you think we are suddenly going to get a brand new Ben Simmons the moment he starts shooting. He's always going to have games like this, jumper or not.


I know he won't be different, just really annoyed that he seems to have regressed even more. He hasn't been aggressive for the last three games. It's startling. I honestly want him traded, and I know that's not likely. It' s not fun to watch. That's hard as well, because I live and breathe sixers.

That's because he's a catch and shoot specialist that can barely dribble. Not his fault that Brett Brown has no idea what he can and cannot do.

I blame a lot of this on Brown. Players seem to be shells of themselves when they join the sixers. Jimmy, J-Rich, Tobi when Embiid is playing. The whole offense is out of whack.

Towns not locking arms with Embiid, and refusing to let go, and we win.

I HIGHLY doubt Ben Simmons ever works on his game. I wouldn't be surprised if the only time he went in the gym and worked out or ran pickup games were the times he records it and puts it on social media.

Ben spends his off time socializing in hollywood and living the lifestyle.

Because he sucks. He has better odds of hitting the shot clock than the rim. It's no secret why a horrific FT shooter is afraid to take 3s. Shaq would give him a run for his money in a shooting contest.

So the Sixers drafted 2 guys no1 overall with mental problems?

Is it going to be like this when we're up 3-0 and drop a game on the road in the Finals?

Ben plays like this in the playoffs again we wont even make the conference finals.

This is without teams even putting a heavy gameplan on us. Once teams are actively ignoring Simmons it will be so much worse.

Yes there is. Josh Richardson. Unless you enjoy watching guys that can't dribble post true shooting percentages in the 40s.

Tobi had 24 and 10 tonight. And he also played like buttcheeks. He is the epitome of an empty stat player. A first option on a tanking team. Yet the Sixers paid this guy 180M. Another guy, one they gave the maximum extension to, is afraid to shoot outside of 5 feet because he knows he won’t make it and he doesn’t want the scrutiny.
