Embiid went out there and put his knees and back on the line for that team. He gave it all. Someone had to call this out and he's the perfect guy as the LEADER. If you are on that team watching your best player put it all on the line like that and can't even gain an ounce of fight in you...you need to go. Period.

That was wrong of them to do though, that's some behind closed doors type of convo, especially when all in question have had questionable performances in the series.

A. They're not saying anything that anyone else isn't going to say this morning.

B. It's hard to feel bad for Ben because he's a bit of a dikk. All he ever does is brag about how great of a defensive player he is and everyone else gets blamed for coming up short. He lucked out last season because he got hurt and the year before, Joel took the heat.

This needed to be done and it needed to be done publicly because he's needs to be humbled.

Not at all defending Simmons because he was shameful, but I feel like the dagger was the Thybulle foul on the Huerter 3 .

That pushed it out of reach
Because it was. That killed it. Those 3 stops Ben got on Trae back to back kept them in it then the foul killed it. To me the passed up dunk, Embids turnover and the foul were what lost the game, in ascending order. Wasn’t just on him.

I hate the disrespect the Bucks keep getting, they played a solid series
Bucks won the series but they played dumb for long stretches it was ridiculous. The coach is dumb. They won the series but it should’ve been over in 5 but they were playing and coaching stupid

Why now though if its been a problem for so long :dead:. It sounds like some chump/scapegoat shyt to me. I cant rock with that if its something they let fester. Breh is in his ways now. Its up him to fix whatever, its too late to mold dude.

I agree Simmons should be held accountable ten fold, but the timing combined with the media acting as puppetmaster is :patrice:. Just ship dude out and call it day. The coach and the star player dont believe in you, its a wrap in Philly.
