We only get media coverage when we lose or when people want to slander embiid or simmons
That big body is designed to bang on the low post. Wreak havok and catching bodies. Sheesh
Embiid did the right thing imo, Simmons needs to stop being soft and drive through a 6’2 guard. I like Simmons but Sixers wont go anywhere with him, he just doesnt fit their team.
BRETT BROWN SHOULD BE FIRED
Post up so they can double him ? And he can kick it out to Simmons lol ?
Remember when we first saw embiid and Simmons play together and were like when these guys fully develop they are gonna be a problem. 3 years later they still haven’t developed. Literally both plays while still good haven’t got any better. Giannis was mvp last year and still got better.
Ben Simmons and Joel dont have that dog in them
THE PROBLEM IS THEIR COACH
As a lifelong Sixerr fan this is our season in a nutshell. Simmons drives…stops looks around…no Jo in the post…passes to a poor shooter.
Hey, since he doesnt wanna listen, let him play how he wants. He can reflect with regret when he retires.
We need a NBA caliber head coach that knows how to solve a 2-3 zone.
Joel’s job would be so much easier if his Robin can shot.
Everyone wants embiid to dominate like Shaq but simply he is just not as athletic as shaq was , shaq at 320 pounds was quicker faster and had more hops embiid needs his jumpshot plus he seems to have less stamina, bro shaq was a beast, embiid needs his jumpshot
Been saying the same thing the last 2 years. You’re 7′ tall and 275lbs WHY are we camping out at the 3-point line?
Keep Sleeping on Miami.. They will end up in the Finals.. or Sending the Bucks home packing
*Embiid changes his game to strictly post*
ESPN: Why do you keep going in the post? NBA is all about the 3pt line. Bigs in the NBA are developing their 3pt shot
Y’all can’t make up y’all minds
Ben Simmons been the same player since his rookie season. Smh no improvement
Jay Williams speaks with authority the way he speaks I believe he was an mvp and has several rings.
This team doesnt have a closer period.
Why is Brett Brown in the discussion?
Ben Simmons playing scared and also being unwilling to change his game really does hurt this team. I really would move on from Ben. He is so overrated. If any other play had his weaknesses everyone would write him off as a bust but Ben Simmons gets a pass? Nah. That’s immaturity. Simmons refuses to listen to coaches and execs who dare him to shoot, so he honestly deserves all the bashing he is getting right now for his play
That only works if you have a point guard that can shoot. How tf you meant to space the floor if you’re only threat is post play? He’ll have no space to dribble
they need to get someone to close games
Embiid has to force Simmons to shoot jump shots by posting up consistently deep by the rim. Simmons can’t cop out of attacking the rim when it is open like that, he put his team in a worse situation by doing so.
thank you! i cant believe his shooting! HES A CENTER
Joel Embiid is overrated af
Ben Simmons should’ve just scored the bucket instead of deferring.
All NBA players including point guards should post up more
Jay Williams exposed them
These same idiots that were praising the European centers for shooting three pointers are now criticizing a center for shooting three pointers. Porzingins is 7foot 3inches, Jokic is 7feet 1inche and they are praised for taking 3pointers. God forbid if a Imbid takes a 3pointer. All these black guys on TV are afraid of their shadows. Bunch of uncle toms.
So no one’s gonna give nunn credit for his defense?
Ben Simmons is the most overrated player in the league. He’s good, but ppl will tell you he’s a Top 15 player and that’s a joke. He’s overrated as a passer also. He’s a very willing passer so he gets assists but he doesn’t run the p&r effectively and never sees the game steps ahead like the great passers. He’s the master of the dribble hand off for a 3 lol
I knew what shaq and charles told him would only last a couple games. Smh so frustrating as a Sixers fan
Centers needs to be ban from shooting out sife shots
Ben Simmons is a LIABILITY. Forget shooting, if he’d just attack it’d change everything.
easy to say from that position … put yourself in thy situation fast paced who knows what yad do
Shaq and Barkley has sent the message,stop piling on Jay u clout chasing.embiid need to give Becky a break she draining him.
It’s coming from someone that knows what he is talking about. J. Will was 6’2" and stayed attacking the rim and killing behind the arc too. FTs were his only weakness. His FTs probably cost duke a national title in 02 and definitely cost them at least a final 4 berth that year.
so disappointed ben simmons hasn’t got more of a dog in him. u can be too aggressive- like westbrook, young kobe
, u can be too passive like ben simmons- or even young lebron. but its harder to dial it up- than to dial it back .
and then sometimes- u get a luka who has perfect control of the pace of game. which is just unreal.
Embiid needs a player like Butler or Damian Lillard at the end of games. Simmons is not that guy. Simmons is not a PG but the dumb coach keeps trying to make him one. Fultz couldn’t play with Simmons cause Fultz could not shoot and is only decent when he has the ball. Simmons should be a point foward and look to shoot 3s in the corner if he is stopped in transition, Sixers offense would be much better.
Sorry Jay Williams, you are cool, but you are not Shaq’uille O’Neal or Charles Barkley.
Let’s not be stupid….there were just a few seconds left in the game. Simmons was 13 feet from the basket with no clear path. He’s not staring at the clock while he’s pushing the ball up the court and trying to avoid a defender. You basically have to run a mental clock in your head in that situation. Trying to blame Simmons in that situation for passing the ball to an open shooter as time is expiring is pretty moronic.
If Joel focuses on post play, who ever is guarding Ben Simmons will double him. It won’t work sir.
Ya ok Jay
If sixer want to get rid of simon the heat can take him, in exchange for Dion "gummy bear" waiters.
The Coach Brett Brown only knows one system, pace and space motion system, except this year they dont have the players to run that system with JJ Reddick gone. Look back in 2017 when Embiid sat with the eye injury Sixers had shooters that they got off buyout, they had 5 catch and shoot shooters in Reddick, Illysova, Covington, Bellineli, and Saric, they fit that system so they had a 17 game win streak or something like that with Simmons being the engine sort of How Giannis plays in Milwakee. That style fits best with Simmons, Embiid cant play that style.
philly will never be a championship team
Jay is cool, but mandem legit watched shaq and chuck on inside the nba and was like writing notes down acting like he coming up with complete new ideas and thoughts
Simmons Simmons Simmons, shoot the f…g ball.
