Who's hating? You just tried to diminish Embiid's importance to the Sixers :stopitslime:
You be on all the Simmons thread saying some negative team. No body understating Embid's impact but dude is the 2nd best player on a playoff team in his 1st year. Has had 6 triple doubles and is the PG of the team at 6'10. Just had 16 pts 8reb 13 ast, had 14 assist last game. You still gon nitpick. Have you ever said anything good about him?

:wtf:

Nobody understating Embiid's impact?

Where the people that said the Sixers only good cuz of Embid?


That is what you just said, you were trying to downplay his impact. You remove Embiid from that team and they are a lottery squad, period. Right now, he is the biggest reason they are a playoff team, that will change in the future as Simmons, Fultz and Saric develop but JoJo is the reason they are where they are today.


I have said good things about Simmons defense, but the lack of a jumper keeps me from really enjoying his game and that Bucks game was a perfect example of it. You talking about his 14ast game vs the Bucks, yet Giannis ate his lunch, and the fact he can't shoot killed their spacing with constant doubles and shading on Embiid.

:dwillhuh: Breh this whole post is what I'm talking about! Who nitpicks a rookie's game like that? Just say you are rooting against the kid. You throw a little compliment just to go on a big ass rant. Giannis took his lunch, you serious? Giannis is a superstar Ben is a rookie. And he can't shoot? Ok he's a rookie, appreciate that a kid with his size and skill set has room for improvement.


I'm just Gon go ahead and add you to the Simmon haters group

So, you make a post challenging people, then get called and immediately go into defensive whining mode. Is that going to be your thing? Whenever he does something well it's great, then when he fukks up you'll say "he's a rookie" even though he's 2-3 years older than most of the rookies? Him not shooting has nothing to do with him being a rookie, he had 1 full year off to work on his game and didn't do a single thing with his jumper, so miss me with that excuse.


His game has some serious warts to it, no matter how much you don't want to admit it. And it's a joke that you tried to put him on equal footing as Embiid in terms of why the Sixers are good.

If he never gets a shot he's still special. He's a PG at 6'10 playing elite defense and putting up 16 8 8. He can average that for the rest of his career and that's a success

If he never gets a shot he severely hurts them against well coached teams that will give him a cushion, hence his 12.5ppg average against the Celtics because Stevens tilts the floor, doubles Embiid and gives Ben a big cushion.

When the playoffs roll around and the games go into the halfcourt his lack of shot is going to hurt them badly. That is why they drafted Fultz too, they know they need a combo guard scorer.

Did Rondo inability to shoot stop him from creating for others? 76ers have shooters. Reddikk, Saric, Belinili, Embid, McConnel all can shoot. It'll be up to Brown how he sets things up. And that doesn't minimizes Simmon's impact he's still goin to create for others while getting 15 pts 8 rebounds. This is a young team, what you think they're going to make a run?


If someone didn't watch NBA and just went by ur post they would think he's a project or something
