Philly 1-7 since trading Oak...

It's Kuzma or Mitchell as ROTY right now, Simmons has been figured out.

Agreed which is why I’m confused by people here acting like Simmons is a certified lock

Man, I feel like the award has already been giving to Simmons by the media. If Kuz keeps hooping and we can get some wins, the narrative better change. I feel like barely anyone is calling out Ben right now. His game looks bad lately.

He's really 6'10" Rondo, the fact he had a full year to work on shooting and didn't improve even a tiny bit is just He's shooting 32% from the line in his last 5 games, never even thinks of shooting a three and generally is fukking up floor spacing now.

I think he'll be the guy people don't watch, see his boxscore and assume he's the next LeBron. His game outside of passing is pretty crude.

This has been the revelation for me.

Simmons dont look like a good offensive player without Embiid.

embiid being the human magnet as far as defenses makes the game 10x easier for ben
having to respect embiid 15-23 feet out...him dragging centers out the paint or drawing doubles in the post ...was giving ben all those paint looks.....
bens offensive game is trash.
defenses sagging off on him even more is making joels life more difficult
they need markelle badly

Karma?

Ben Simmons looking funny in the light.

Man won't even shoot a jumpshot let alone make one.

Man I went and looked at his 3 point attempts per game and was like Had to look at it like 4 times. A perimeter player starting in the NBA averaging.....

3 point attempts per game

Rondo could hit the open mid-range jumper

Ra_on was barely hitting that

Never liked Oak's game. He's in the wrong era. Also he plays lazily. Breh looks like the court is the last place on Earth he wants to be.

 

[Darealtwo1]

Embiid has played only 2 games in that stretch....chill breh

He had his moments

Ben wishes

He’s a Klutch guy..they got some nice ties at ESPN with Goodman and Windhorst. So it’s likely not going to happen.

 

[FloorGeneral]

That's gonna be on Embiid's NBA tombstone.

Someone gonna say "Sixers lost 5498279 games over the past 10 years", followed by someone else saying "Embiid only played in 30% of the games in that stretch...chill breh".

nearly half his attempts are within 3 feet of the basket 30% of his makes are dunks


I like Ben and his long-term outlook, but that hypothetical ROTY he won two weeks into the season is gone.
