Two great plays by Simmons, scores and then beauty of a pass to buckets

 

[peternorth]

Its van bleet time

OT in boston

 

[Royces Hart]

Hubie Brown is such an insufferable old campaigner.

"Now just look here, just watch this"

We have eyes Captain Obvious.

Glad we won, but jeez no other team does as many moronic things as the Sixers. This team can good if they ever cut that down.

Philly turned Butler into a floor spacer who didn't touch the ball on 3 of those crunch possessions. Something to keep an eye on.

Probably harsh but I actually hate him. Up there with the likes of Derrwayne and BT for me.

I suspect once he's with the team for a bit he'll be the guy in that action with Embiid instead of JJ.

 

[Drummer_19]

Donny Mitch with the 35 shot 0 assist game. Pretty funny, but def wish Simmons/Fultz had a bit of his dgaf keep chucking attitude.

Lowry 2/9. It definitely has a playoff feel.

Are you saying butler gonna demand a trade?

Not rated

 

[Drummer_19]

What about Simmons?

I dunno, they've started running some stuff for him in end of game situations where he's iso'd at the top with the floor spread and using JJ as the screener to try to open the lane for him to drive or JJ on the pop to either shoot or get into the side handoff 2 man game with Embiid if the shot isn't there. But outside of that considering he can't and won't shoot he really shouldn't be prioritised shots in crunch time. They can still use him as a screener in those DHO and as a roller or faking the handoff and driving to the rim if they overplay on JJ, tho but it's on him to show he wants to and can score in more ways then just running downhill.

Great game.

I don't. Imagine Ben throwing up 35 jumpers..... Mitchell is a good player but he just chucks up shots for the hell of it.

He makes it unwatchable. Reminds me more of Dermie, with his insatiable need to explain every minute detail like we are all idiots.

Plus the fact he looks likes he should be starring in a remake of Weekend at Bernies.

Just a pinch of it, like actually shooting the ball occasionally when he has 10ft of wide open space.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Nah Im saying the coach will have to find a way to include Simmons and Butler in those crunch plays.

 

[jdz101]

Kyrie is an absolute colossus in 4th quarters/OT.

It really is something to behold when he gets going.

 

[peternorth]

B LOPEZZZ FROM THE CAR PARK!!!!!

Well yeah of course I want him to do that as well. I'm still confident it will come.
