Ben was a disaster in the playoffs...despite what you can do or how many stats you get...some people choke when it really matters or just lack the overall skill. Same goes for video games.

In video games you will get people that once the receive criticism they give up and say fine try to win without me...

I think thats what Ben tried to pull...He rage quit and rolled the dice that the 76ers would be worse without him...

But the jokes on him the 76ers are smashing it...they are playing well...

So rip to Ben. Reported. GG EZ. Enjoy the ban.

Ben Simmons is really just afking in fountain

In fact Boston swept Philly the previous year, because Ben didn't play....

And the reason why Philly never won the championship is because Embiid shot .370 in the 7-game series vs. Toronto 2019, and-
Game 6:
Simmons 21 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 0 turnovers
Embiid 17 points, 5-14 field, 12 rebounds, 5 turnovers
Game 7:
Simmons 13 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks
Embiid 21 points, 6-18 field, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks


Yeah, he adds value to a team and helps them win even in the playoffs. Just not to the level of the expectations for him which is why fans are so disappointed. I think the better way to look at Simmon's value to a playoff team is as a floor raising player, but not a ceiling raising one. He will make a roster night in and night out more competitive and more capable of beating a team that they should beat but his ineptitude in a half court offense is going to hurt against an opponent that the Sixers are evenly matched with.

If Ben gave me the GG EZ at the end of the game I'd be so tilted

:lol:

Does anyone watch Ben streaming on twitch ? I bet we could uncover / internet sleuth if Ben is a Ragequitter or not

Ben the type of guy to talk about your mom if you criticize him in a game.

Hey Ben why didn't you revive me bruh?

Ben Simmons: I revived your mom last night dude.

This Embiid vs. Simmons analysis for that Toronto series has one glaring omission: Jimmy Butler was the best player for the Sixers in that series! Over 7 games, Butler was the leading scorer and led in assists despite Simmons being the PG.

As a Raptors fan, I remember Butler was tenacious, went toe-to-toe with Kawhi in the dying minutes of Game 7, where in the last 5 minutes he scored 5 of Philly's last 10 points. If it weren't for Butler, Toronto would not have needed that last second Kawhi shot. Embiid made key free throws and left everything on the floor. Meanwhile, Simmons was nowhere to be seen in crunch time.


EMBIID played FORTY FIVE minutes in Game 7 against Toronto. In the 3 minutes he did not play, the Sixers were -11.

MINUS ELEVEN IN THREE MINUTES.

Think about that.

And in the last 10 minutes of Game 7 vs. Atlanta, Embiid scored a total of 4 points and turned the ball over twice, including with 44 seconds left when he lost the ball to Gallinari....
In the 4th quarter of that entire series for Ben... Ope.Image

Either he is such a baby his ego can’t handle criticism and he is pouting or….

He is so fragile that he is mentally not ready to play after everything he has been through

Either way, he has baggage and his game has huge holes in it like shooting and ft shooting. He isn’t worth 30 million dollars per year and only a fool will trade for him.

If he hasn’t worked out for Philly, why is he going to work out for your team? Philly has one of the best teams in the east even without him and we are supposed to believe his surroundings the problem?

It's still crazy to me that Simmons has only attempted .1 three point shots per year (per game) in his 4 year career.

How can anyone be dumb enough to not realize playing 4v5 is bad?

Our defense is just **** fine without him too. His defense is and always was over rated

You are still being ridiculed, on your classless attempts to undermine a player with mental health issues, with a mere 9 game sample size

Yeah - you think that Atlanta had some fun doubling Embiid because THEY DID NOT HAVE TO GUARD BEN SIMMONS? Huh?

Think about that.

And yet, they were ONE fluky shot away from going to overtime at Toronto in Game 7.
So they overachieved with Ben Simmons, despite Embiid's .370 shooting in that series....

Atlanta guarded Ben Simmons, so not sure what you are thinking about....
