You can nitpick enough to get to the point every specific game loss isn't Doc's fault, but there's just too much evidence that it is indeed is something with him.


Now they're in the WCF





Throw in the 2 series losses up 3-1 and

This thread about Simmons, and the 76ers organization has a few laughs in it:

The NBA screwed Philly when they made them can the architect of the process. They should never been forced to do that. And then they compounded it by forcing them to take a patronage hire as GM.

Love to see a Ben for Lonzo swap.

Hell no, Simmons is a dickhead who is too lazy to get better. Instead of working on a J and his game he's demanding a trade. Fuck him, he's worthless.

And he has also been the 2nd best player on a playoff team from the first season he ever played in the league. Ball has never came close to sniffing the playoffs. I'd take him in a heartbeat straight up for Ball.

_________________

I am not pro or anti ball. I am thoroughly anti-b.itch. Simmons is a b.itch for not developing his game. All the greats do that. He doesn't. Therefore he's on b.itch status.

I don't care about whether he is effeminate or not as a basketball player. As a basketball player he is light years better than Lonzo Ball. In every assessment known to man you will find that. If the Sixers offer Simmons for Ball straight up AK will sign off faster than you can compose one of your Kyrie Irving diss posts. Book it!

_________________

What I'm saying is that he's lazy and not a hard worker. That's a toxic mix. Not sure why you'd want a guy who isn't obsessed about getting better on your team. You have to be obsessed about the game, Kobe style. He's the antithesis of Kobe - lazy, soft, and uninterested.

This is what you don't quite understand. Even if he never gets better he is still an infinitely better basketball player than Lonzo Ball. This isn't about him being the next Kobe Bryant either. This is about him being a much better basketball player than Lonzo Ball, who by the way 2 teams have already given up on at this point.

I will take un-talented hustlers and grinders 10 times out of 10 over lazy primadonnas who are too soft to get better at their craft. He's an insult to all professionals no matter the industry.

And I'd take a guy that has been instrumental in leading his team to the playoffs from day 1 over a guy that has never come close to sniffing the playoffs. Even while playing with generational talents such as Lebron James and Zion Williamson. Ball can go suck monkey balls for all i care. And I say this as a Bulls fan that wants him to succeed because it makes them better. if he does. Unfortunately i think the ship has sailed on him ever being that dude. Best I can say about him is that he is an upgrade over Coby White, who happens to be a bum.

_________________

Lonzo played with Lebron for about 2 months and during that time they were the #4 seed in the West. Then Lebron strained his vagina and that was the end of that season for the Lakers.

_________________

I won money from FF off that so I am well aware of what happened. They had the weakest schedule in the league at the time they had the 4th seed. The ranking was tenuous since there was a jumble for slots 4-9 or 10. They were destined to fade anyway. I never had a doubt as to whether they would make the playoffs or not.

_________________

Simmons is a much better player, it's not even close. London also conveniently gets hurt around the deadline every year so nobody can trade his bum ass.

_________________

So Lonzo is alpha enough to play for a #4 seed but everything falls apart when the beta goes down? great argument

I hope like hell that Philly plays hardball with Ben Simmons and not cave unless they get a decent return for him.

On some things he did and on others he didnt. I read it a few days ago and he was off about a few things. Namely Simmons ability to play defense

_________________

I did say as a person

He was wrong on some basketball stuff but not his lacking of shooting prowess. That's related to his work ethic issues for me.

Fuck Simmons

Time to abort mission on the Sixers. They aren't going to win shit anytime soon and they aren't contenders either. When you can't get ever get past the 2nd round then you aren't a contender.
