Can Ben S. be the starting P.G on a championship team? Doc: I don’t know. Embiid takes shots at Ben

[Ziggiy]

He's only 24 (25 next month), so age in on his side in that he might eventually get it together if you figure out the true issue of what's going on. I don't believe it's just an ego and I don't believe it's because he's scared of failing. It's something going on that no one knows about or else it would have been reported years ago.

Breh….. The nikka is not SHOOTING! The very important thing that you NEED to do in the NBA he’s REFUSING to do! We can’t psychoanalyze this dude like he’s some abused runaway street urchin and talk about getting down to the “real” reason why he’s not doing his damn job…


Dude was shooting in Summer league. Dude has shot and made three pointers in actual NBA games. But when it comes down to the line he’s REFUSING to support his teammates and coach even DUNK the damn ball.


Shaq was a terrible Free Throw shooter but his heart and willingness to put it on the line was NEVER in question


Giannis will never be the second coming of Steph Curry but his heart and willingness to put his ego and pride on the line is NEVER in question.


The league had been amass with star players who couldn’t necessarily fill the bucket when they first got in the league. Magic couldn’t “shoot”. Lebron couldn’t “shoot”. Kobe shot airballs in the playoffs. They all worked on their games and developed decent shots.


Simmons has gotten to the point where he’s simply EMBARRASSING. He’s embarrassed his teammates, one of whom played on a TORN ligament just to be there for his team. He’s embarrassed his coach, who publicly defended him all season.


His youth at this point is a nonfactor. His mentality is a nonfactor as he’s gotten all the support in the world. All these excuses just add to him thinking that his play is acceptable

 

[Rekkapryde]

It's just funny seeing the same fans defendi g him when I would say he should shoot and be aggressive more shyt on him now. Went from "nah bro his court vision and defense is so good he doesn't need to shoot while bringing up his stats. I give him the 3 to 5 year rule like I do all players and it's his third year and still nothing has improved. No jumper, no increase in FT % no aggressive to take a charge to get a foul. Should of never gave him that money. I feel like Negrodamus right I foresaw this happening.

Which is why I said that it's issues going on worse than the yips with him. What those issues are. I have no clue

For this nikka to not try all is more than just yips and ego.

 

[CSquare43]

They’d be lucky to get Wiggins for Ben straight up without giving up picks, his trade value has plummeted.

We don't want him brehs... much rather keep Wiggs.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

it's been 6 years including college. This shyt is some way past the yips or whatever that shyt is.

Nahhh it's more than being scared to try and fail. He obviously knows what people are asking of him and still won't do it even after hearing the same complaint for years? That's not normal lol.

Even if he goes elsewhere, then the problem will still be there so at some point there's going to have to be an intervention. His problems just aren't going to go away just because he gets traded to another team.

that's what I'm saying.

send his ass to Pop. I just want the comedy.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

There is no way in the world the Sixers would do that deal. I wouldn’t move Matisse alone for Beasley….

Oh definitely not co-signing the deal he was suggesting. I just think Minnesota could be a great spot for him. I think it’d definitely involve the #3 if Minnesota keeps the pick

 

[Dwight Howard]

God, you're a horrible poster

I don't value your opinion

 

[Dwight Howard]

doc has underachieved with his given talent at every destination he's been at.....except for when he had 3 first ballot hall of famers at one time...along with the 2x coach of the year manning his defensive strategy on the celtics
doc is a fukking bum. worst close out game percentages in the history of the league and 4 game 7 losses in a row. Numerous choke jobs cause he lacks the ability to adjust...whether in game or game to game.
that dude sucks

Yall doing way too much to discredit this man. He's a winning coach period. How can you even put a choke job on a coach, is it his fault his players shyt the bed? Did he tell Ben Simmons to he a liability on offense? Was it his fault Paul George disappeared? His fault Chris Paul and Blake Griffin gave up that lead? It's a reason doc rivers is respected in basketball circles. Calling him a bum is just objectively wrong.

 

[UserNameless]

Let's keep it a buck, no coach is winning with a PG that refuses to not only shoot in crucial moments but refuses to score in general. Sixers would've closed this out in 5 if Ben could even be just an average ft shooter.

Doc rivers isn't a shooting coach. Blaming doc for Ben's inability and unwillingness to shoot is laughable. He supported dude all year it's on Ben to get better.

As HC, Doc essentially is an player personnel manager . That shyt is partially and ABSOLUTELY on him after seeing him during the season and going to to the powers that be trying to iron out a plan A to address the shyt and if that doesn’t work forming a contingency plan ASAP and giving the c-level suits a heads up like “hey I’m gonna be forced to do this if this doesn’t happen with Ben.”


Period .

Nahhh it's more than being scared to try and fail. He obviously knows what people are asking of him and still won't do it even after hearing the same complaint for years? That's not normal lol.

It’s so incredibly abnormal .

lmao so its always the players. wehre's the accountability. anyone with two eyes can see his teams NEVER adjust. even his championship team that outmatched every team in the league.......played the most games for a championship win. them nikkas went 7 games with the hawks a young ass hawks team.
doc rivers nothing but a personality manager. when it comes to x's and o's he gets outcoached regularly after the first round cause teams that make it that far have good coaching.
he's the common denominator is numerous series collapses. it's not a coincidence. doc is a overrated bum

Let's take this series for example. In what ways should doc rivers had adjusted?

 

[Bledswole]

nikkas in here speaking down on Doc who I do think is a bit overrated as a coach but you got a 6’10 legit PG that has all the physical tools to be DOMINANT and he just doesn’t play close to his potential ever. This not on Doc Ben hasn’t gotten better since his 2nd year

 

[ikbm]

Let's take this series for example. In what ways should doc rivers had adjusted?

This stupid ass nikka ran 10 man rotation when every other normal coach would tighten their rotation over the course of a 7 game series. This nikka brought in a cold shake Milton expecting him to bail him out again IN A GAME 7. Zero exploitation of traes size putting him in switches and more on ball pick and roll situations. Having Joel initiate his own offense 26 feet away from the rim putting him in more precarious positions to have dumb turnovers(partially this is on Ben). Joel big ass should’ve been on the block torturing these nikkas like he did for stretches earlier in the series. figure out a way to get your starting point guard to actually push in transition instead of passing the ball to joel embiid at half court in a fast break situation
I can keep going. he just a mouthpiece. not an x's and o's guy.

Not the Benlievers they saw a future in Ray Charles eyes as they talk about his low digit triple doubles
