Guy is literally saying a dude who shot 33% for the night was unguardable LOL


You're saying a guy that gets to the free throw line was defended well and talking as if getting to the free throw line is a bad thing?

Getting to the line often is a direct indicator that the defense can't defend you lol. Embiid plays physical, he's bigger than everyone, he's quicker than most, and his footwork is definitely better. You're out here talking about guys that are like 6'8'' defending him???

Last time Embiid played both Rob Williams and Horford he dropped 25/13/6 on them in 32 minutes and Sixers easily won. Neither Williams (6'8'') or Horford (6'9'') can defend Embiid 1 on 1. Celtics team defensive plan is to stop Embiid at all costs and let others beat them, and they do a good job of that by sending everyone at him when he gets the ball, but don't act like they have anyone that can do it by themselves.

The Nets won the trade. James Harden is just as much of a malcontent as Simmons is except old and fat too.

It’s funny to me that 76ers fans think they’re getting Houston Rockets James Harden. He isn’t getting those foul baiting calls like he used to and he’s getting whistled for his “excellent paint defense” of grabbing people around the restricted area.

As soon as Embiid has another one of his 15+ game injuries, Harden will be whining again.

Looks like the 76ers did.

Simmons still too mentally unstable to play. Such a pansy.

It's because he doesn't want to play @Philly this Thursday

The official reason from the Nets FO is that Simmons has 'back soreness' and he needs to complete conditioning training before he will be available to play.

This was originally going to be only a one week hold out, but then now depending on who you ask Simmons is out for different reasons. Simmons agent reports that Simmons is basically ready to play. Nets FO say that he isn't even close to ready yet. Twitter thinks he is still mentally not ready. Reddit thinks he is 1 week away from playing etc.

If you look at practice footage it appears Simmons isn't even practicing with the team yet in drills or 5 on 5. That means he is at least 2 weeks minimum away of practice before we see any of that in a game.

Also based on Simmons attitude from watching practice footage Simmons is no where fucking near ready to play in the NBA

Simmons not expected to play in Philly on Thursday, but will be on the bench with the Nets.

That'll be fun, can't wait for the chants.
