NBA Playoffs Series Thread (1) Sixers vs (5) Hawks Atlanta wins 4-3

He needs to be shooting 1,000 free throws instead lol

yeah that's fair enough... He really needs to put more work in on his shooting. Maybe get a shooting coach and work on it all offseason. Hes 24 now and the expectation was that he would improve over the years and so far there has been no progression there. That's all work ethic and its going to be the difference between him being a star or not because as he gets older and close to his prime there wont be any excuses. His value will decrease every year moving forward if he isn't able to improve in that area.

Look, if it's me, Ben Simmons is coming off the bench game 6. George Hill, step right up, you're starting the 1, and Kork kick rocks, Thyb starting in your wing spot.

I'm running those 5 for as many minutes as humanly possible. Shake can give Curry and Hill breathers. Simmons can give Embiid and Thyb breathers.

If Harris wants to disappear again, then outta the 2nd half for game 6 he can grab pine next to Ben and ol' Mike Scott getting burn.

Also, the black city uniforms are a must for game 6 and 7, no excuses.

Gotta go out on your shield man!

If it makes the MFer hit a free throw, YES!

Also I want to come back to this one:

I said this after last offseason. I've always put Ben as the one in most of my trade and movement scenarios. I'm really getting ****ing sick of this **** where you and others attack me because I say what even you admit, GM's in the NBA still value Ben high enough that we're going to get a good return. For some ****ing reason it makes me a stan? ****k off with this ****. Just because I bother to read and understand enough to know that GM's have generally said they still think Ben is a good player and it's the pairing of on court skill sets that's bad, and others want to go off their damn emotions.

Seriously people need to bother to ****ing read what I right or stop ****ing quoting me and bringing me up and claiming I'm saying something ****ing else.

So one last time, for the 3RD ****ING OFFSEASON IN A ****ING ROW Ben should be traded, he's the easier to trade one, he's the one that will be easier for another team to build around, and at the same time we will receive more than what PSD posters think he's worth.

When the Knicks had Melo and Amare their on courts skills didn’t pair perfectly. They liked a lot of the same spots on the floor. This is not similar to what is going on in Philly. The problem is a glaring lack of skill by one of the teams key players. Joel is a dominant 3 level scorer. If you don’t play the same position and have trouble pairing with that the problem is that you aren’t very good. .

I remember telling you last year they should see if they can get Conley after he had a down year and that Conley would make the Sixers top contenders for a chip. You went nuts. I’m going to you the same thing. They should call the Celtics about Walker

Morey can probably fleece Stevens to throw in some extra assets too.

[ewing]

Get a ****ing clue man. You clearly don't understand what I do then if you think what I was doing was defending. because half your ****ing posts are the problem. The dude is either great or trash to you. You have no ****ing middle ground. Yet someone who won't take the extreme view of a guy dependent on game to game is the problem? **** man.

I don’t see how you can defend his contract and say others don’t see the middle ground

Yikes no. We still start ok. Ben has got to get whoever guards him in foul trouble without them using the hack-a strategy.

I’d like to see Hill start over Korkmaz. Dwight and Thybulle off the bench for Ben and Joel. Then when the rest of the bench mob comes in, Ben comes in with them and Harris rides the pine.

Nah, Ben can't play more than 12 minutes in game 6 or Sixers lose. All his minutes need to come at the 5 position too.

The rest of his time in Philly, he's Joel's back-up, other than that the kid is useless. He can slide in DM's and play mobile games on the sideline while Joel with a bum knee tries to take Philly to their first ECF in 20 years and only the second time in 36 years.

Can't have your #2 option be Tobias Harris
Can't have your #2 most talented player scared of scoring

Both guys have been ghosts in the second half of Game 4 & 5

Harris is averaging 21 and 8 on 51/36/83 these playoffs. He played like **** last night but is a good player. If the Sixers had a guard that was a creator and also good they would fine with Joel as there 1 and Harris plus another perimeter play maker as there 2/3

Imma call it now:
Ben to Minny
KAT to Portland
CJ+ to Philly

Please no.

I don't think I hate Ben as much as others though, I would think he can land CJ somehow just not via KAT.
