Bust Simmons - Sixers 2022 Season Thread

[KingJay]

During the scrimmages Ben was looking like he was taking steps to become elite but now that the games count again he’s reverted back to passive Ben

Yeah idk what's up with dude

He was our best player before the injuries earlier in the season

I am starting to think he is a mental case like Fultz to a degree.

He willingly took a three in the last game and looked like he was going to attempt another before he realized his knee was hurting a bit. I think it's only natural for him to be a little off since being switched positions, it'd reasonably take real game time for him to transition from PG to PF. The Spurs game he could never get into a rhythm due to fouls, last night the injury prevented him from a full game so it's hard and unfair to totally judge those performances imo
His only full game so far he had 19/13/4 on 8/14 shooting, that's a pretty solid night

All I need for him is to be aggressive. Everybody looks improved from Tobias Embiid looks like the player we always wanted Shake is the real deal Burke is the real deal.

Simmons is the X factor for the seaosn

Wasn't like we was going anywhere anyway, crazy how if covid never happened we would have been without Ben because of his back

We catch a break and he comes back under unusual circumstances and he gets hurt again, sometimes it just ain't meant to be

It's over yall, Ben's getting surgery

Season from hell

I’m still holding out some hope we’re going to miss him defensively but we still have to play these games so it’s up to Biid to takeover

 

[Brocka]

Joel out with an ankle injury and will not return. They're being vague as hell... must not be good.

Unless the fix is in for the blazers like Clippers tried to do yesterday.

Knowing this team joel is probably out for the season lol.

 

[Flight]

I have very real concerns with Joel and his health going forward.

 

[AAKing23]

Just end the season now lol, I never wanted to get to an off-season so fast in my life

Dude just cant stay on the court to save his life. Availability is EVERYTHING. Its so frustrating

Yeah it’s just at a point whenever Jo is hurt Ben can hold down the fort and stay healthy. But when Ben is hurt I have no doubt that Joel will end up getting hurt the next 3-4 games every time. Rather it be bad luck, him not being in the best shape. It’s a very valid concern and he’s not getting younger.
