Simmons is the West Virginia trailer park boy of the NBA: says his back hurts, which can never be proven, and collects disability

That’s a rather specific analogy.

Hoping Harden isn’t on this team after these playoffs.  

Dont see that happening at all. He will opt in for next season

definitely not going anywhere with embiid's boo-boo thumb. he'd have to play lights out to get past the 2nd round but that's not happening. thumb on the shooting hand is going to get wacked all game long.

 

Another post season, another injury affecting Embiids ability to carry the team all the way.

Didn't you want to trade Embiid and keep Simmons ??

sixers should trade embiid to cleveland for a few of their bench guys. 

ESPN Sources: The Nets and Ben Simmons expected he would be ready to play on Monday, but after getting on the court yesterday Simmons says he awoke with back soreness today. In the end, the team and Simmons agreed he'll remain out for Game 4.

miller shouldn't make fun of a person suffering from mental health issues    

The best ending would be Durant or Kyrie hitting this tool. 

I’m pretty sure the nets deal him this offseason. Frankly i don’t think he wants to be in Brooklyn and wants to be in California

Simmons is officially the Sam Bradford of the NBA.

I hated Sam Bradford, but even I think this is unfair to him. The only Philly athlete I would compare to Simmons is Andrew Bynum.

A few of us said he'd never play for the Nets and the possibility of us being right is looking more and more likely.

Yup as soon as he didn’t play after that sixers game, i think the reality that he’d never play from the nets went up. I still think a team like Sacramento tried to makes that move this offseason. I think other teams that could be involved are portland, Orlando. I wouldn’t rule out Minnesota who was supposedly really interested last offseason. However not sure they want to do that now with how they are playing.

Yeah.  Not even close to the same thing as Bradford.

Does Simmons also like bowling?

Nah. It may be close for a while but Sixers ultimately win by double digits.

I really wanted to see Ben Simmons play in a playoff series against the Sixers.  Damn him for robbing me of that.  

 

I still say would have preferred to keep Curry and Drummond than have traded for Harden.  Not sure it would have made a difference thus far.  

Quote

[Jim Murray] In the last 21 playoff games that Scott Foster had refereed (not game 1), the team behind in the series is 19-2. Including the 0-3 Raptors to the Sixers.

if you know a ref by name, it's not because he's a good ref. 

Watching Simmons get torched over and over and over again right now feels almost as good as a championship. This is therapeutic.

We would have had no shot with the team we had before. Harden at least gave us a chance.
