Re: The NBA Thread
i mean, this was a match made in hell.
Simmons always had a mental block shooting. anyone who has paid attention since 2016 has this intel.
no one in the Sixers staff or front office (old or new regime) ever held him accountable, and it was swept under the rug because of what he brings in transition and defensively
he gets scapegoated for one series (rightfully so, but conveniently forgetting all the other bad things from that series- Rivers’ lineups, Green injury, Embiid’s bad game 4, Harris’s inconsistency, Hill’s disappearing act, the terrible bench)
which leads to the national media pitchforks + Philadelphia pitchforks = bad news
of course he’s a convenient scapegoat so no one in the franchise defends him, so i feel zero sympathy for the franchise on that front
woops, his contract situation has all the leverage. i mean i think Simmons is a disgrace for not owning up to his performances and liabilities. i mean i could give a crap what he says in the public eye but it’s CLEAR he doesn’t work on his game or use his brain on the court. but he would be an idiot not to use this leverage, absolutely
