I like ben for Portland but it ain't cjNa Simmons is a good fit at Boston imho.
Some talk of McCollum for simmons
FremulonNot a real doctor
I mean assists in basketball can be a very empty stat, his playmaking throughout this series was minimal.
Rebounding was decent i supposed but at 6'10 it is kinda just what is expected.
He offers 0 spacing, isn't aggressive enough driving anymore, passes up lay ups/dunks to avoid getting fouled.
His stats are not good but he is still worse than what they show. He is clearly not the only problem but he is far and away the biggest.

He isn't in form but he might turn it around.
Got predictions for game 8?

We'll look at Harris' numbers and go "he did ok" But Harris/Hill, the Sixers bench, The piss poor coaching of half-court offense by Doc are much bigger problems then Ben. Ben needs to shoot 60% to stay on the court, wont disagree, but we saw with Brett Brown Simmons often cut, had a huge amount of work off the ball which is nothing at the moment
George Hill is ******* sh*t-house as well and hes your 13th best player in a finals team, not 6th
Agree they should of gone for LowryNot doing the lowry trade looking almost as bad as passing on harden.
******* brilliant.Fremulon
Fully on the Suns bandwagon. What a complete, well-organised team. Very Spurs-like.
Seeing a team all play for eachother and doing their role is more interesting and fun than another superteam romp.
Agree it’s not all his fault, but most of it is on him. If he could make FT’s at an average rate the series wouldn’t have gone past 5 games. The want of not having to take FT’s then completely made him a non existent factor on the offensive side of the ball for the last few games.
id be unselfish too if my jumpshot was worse than a 15 year olds. There are literally millions of people on the planet that shoot better than Simmons.Harris missing easy lay ups, Embiid's turnovers, Embiid's injuries and slow movements, Early Fouls, Ben's lack of aggression.
It's not all Ben's fault, just his is the most glaring. Not only has his FT issues impacted him, but he's been trained to pass that he's lost the confidence to take on the game for himself. He gives so many good looks to his shooters...
Helping keep Trae Young to 1 from 14 shots in the first half, and so many 3pt assists gets swept under the carpet.
Interesting reading the first post in here
Australian basketball.
Ben Simmons Ben Simmons 6'9" 230, SF/PF, Melbourne, Australia, Montverde Academy 2015 - Simmons took the U.S. high school basketball scene by storm by dominating the 2012 Pangos All American Camp. He moved to the United States this past year to suit up for Coach Kevin Boyle at Montverde...www.bigfooty.com
"Plays almost too unselfish at times. Not a prolific scorer, yet. Should look to become more aggressive at creating shots for himself .."

Curry you moron
Harden and Joel would have been great to watch.... Between the 2 of them you would get at least 3 good legs....
Agreed. Have we had an NBA champion in the last decade that wasn't a super team (excluding the Spurs)?
For me, the last was the 2010-11 Mavs and there's quite some similarities there.
Nice hot take. Going for an ESPN colour spot?I'd rather have Thybulle than Simmons going to the Olympics for Australia, Ben is in the gutter until he stops being a wuss and bully his way to the paint and drive with aggression or work on his god damn shooting. Feel embarrassed that he'll represent Australia.
When you have 2 of the top 5 players in the NBA, yes that is a super team.2020 Lakers.
AD and Lebron. The rest are barely servicable.

How were the Spurs not a super team? They won 4 chips.
Duncan, Parker, Ginobli and then add Leonard is a super team.
Sure it is a super team where no one speaks, but it is still a super team.
