Rivers on if he still believes Simmons can be a title winning point guard: "I don't know the answer to that question right now."

.. You have to just accept the best trade offer, low or not, and move on. You can't bring him back.

Brutal

With as horrible as Simmons was in this series, I feel like you could have replaced him with 75% of the other starting guards in the league and won this series. Imagine if Lowry was out there instead of Simmons? He ain't shooting 30% from the free throw line!

Wow. I can't help but laugh at this shirt. Hard to decide if this is a d-bag move or if this is the kind of fun trash-talking, overtly confident thing the league could use right now. A team that has a lot of impactful characters and personalities rather than a team dominated by 1 or 2 mega stars... I am going with option B.

Since the time the Process started, The Atlanta hawks made a conference finals, completely blew up their team, tanked and rebuilt a roster that has now made the conference finals before the 76ers.

wooo boy

What's the opposite of mamba mentality?

How fitting Hawks are responsible for ending his career in Philly

Kevin Huerter's NBA debut. Only played a few minutes and didn't score, but Red Velvet is an underrated player who could help pretty much any team:

The dbag move was Embiid walking at JC with his arms out towards the crowd. Well at least one of the dbag moves from Embiid

If they started George Hill instead of Ben tonight... I bet the 76ers win.

[McMenamin] From @ESPNStatsInfo: With a minimum of 70 attempts, Ben Simmons' 34.2% free throw percentage this postseason is the worst in a postseason in NBA history.

It's gonna be reeeeal interesting to see how Morey deals with this

I'm curious how the hobby will react to his performance ... I don't see how a guy like Herro should be automatically priced higher than Huerter. And we all saw how hot Herro's prices were last year. Huerter actually has more size too; could make an argument either guy has more potential I think.

Do they still have any fight left or nahhhh?

Love JC. Collected a ton of his stuff early but since he’s a big I don’t know if he’ll ever move the needle hobby-wise. I bid on some of the Flawless RPAs tonight because they’re soooo cheap but it’s also really hard to move his cards without getting lowballed or just $.99 auctions. Glad to see him step up and ball out on a big stage, being in the ECF guarding Giannis should get him even more recognition with the casual fans.

Next series should be good, I think Jrue will put the clamps on Trae so it’ll be up to the other guys to continue to step up and make shots. ATL is going to be awesome in the years to come, imagine adding Hunter and Reddish (if he can improve his shot) to this lineup

George hill played 21 mins tonight.

3 pts. 1 rebound. 0 assists. Minus 15.

Ben in 36 min.

5 pts. 8 rebs. 13 assists. Plus 1.


Did ben do enough? Hell no. But comments like these are ignorant.

as long as he keeps making statement plays I think he'll start to trend up... he's really a 'versatile 4' more than a 'big' - almost like Giannis, except that he plays with actual PGs so he doesn't need to try and dribble by guys from the top of the key every play like Giannis tries to.... oh, and he can shoot.
