Its beyond time for that Sexton trade package to be done.

Great news.  We are 2 games out of 1st.  But the bad news is that we are 2.5 games out of last.

last 2 games sucked. Maxey left to go play with little kids instead, and Joe got hurt.

Pathetic tweet from Ben's shooting coach, but the reply is pure gold...

LOL.  If the coach and he were smart, no more videos or statements.  Every single one can be replied with a major burn.  This is a combination of his brittle mentality and them trying to get him off the team.  Just shut up, come to training camp if you are still here, pretend to shoot at practice and then hopefully pack your bags and GET THE F OFF MY LAWN!

Part of me just wants to see him play game 1 here just to see how relentlessly he’s going to be boo’d by his home fans. I’m dead serious the fans should yell shoot every time he touches the ball like Flyers fans do on the PP assuming he’s here 

I seen him train Maxey, Jaren Jackson Jr., Lonnie Walker, Rondo, Justice Winslow, Bazley, Jordan Clarkson in the past week and he caters the training to their game, but not Ben. 

It has to be coming from Ben on what he wants.

Alternate each quarter between "Shooooooot" and "You won't shoot it" ...He will quit at half time.

Ben would only be practicing defense the whole time then.

Ben is either just going thru the motions, most logically, or his handles are trash.

There’s the theory he was trolling sixers fans on the video yesterday by dunking it

I have pointed it out many many times over the years to people who talk about his great handles. He cant beat guys off the dribble in those 1 on 1 ISO type situations. He has nothing. His go to move is usually just putting his head and shoulder down and hoping he doesnt charge. And a good percentage of times, he ends up charging.

Yup.  Even his cross over is weak.  It only works when he has a head of steam and running down the court during transition.  Or if he is matched up against a much smaller player.

Been trying to figure out what Philadelphia athlete who has left the city has been more hated then Ben Simmons. Owens was but there were some people that disliked Donovan McNabb and were on his side and were fed up with banner. I know Scott rolen was because he turn down an extension And didn’t want to be here due to the Phillies management. But I don’t even think his was nearly as bad as what Ben Simmons is

I never did and still don't understand the McNabb hate.  It pisses me off.  Owens was a POS and cancerous.  I never liked him, but wasn't complaining when he was having a great year in 2004.  Nmandi is one that comes to mind.  Billy Wagner....JD Drew (joking).  Paplebon wasn't really liked when he was hear.

I never hated mcnabb i can understand how he rubbed some people the wrong way after he retired. I wasn’t a TO guy either. Loved the production but hated the guy. He’s still a dbag. 

nnamdi is a good one. Cause people were excited about him and then just hated him when he underperformed. Wagner was definitely hated. Then went to the Mets.

In today's game do you really need to beat your man off the dribble. I know Lebron doesn't and I would venture to say Harden also doesn't' but that does not seem to stop them. In today's game the PG just needs to be aggressive

yes. Whether its getting to the basket, or creating room for a jump shot. Yes you have to. And LeBron and Harden do it constantly all game every game. Simmons cant even create space for a jumper. The rare jumper he takes is a turn around fade away because he never finds the space to just rise up.
