Looks about right. Joel is one of those guys who is probably a lot better historically than his career may ever allow people to admit. Aside from the true freaks of nature he’s probably a good matchup vs any center who ever played. I still wince every time he lands funny though and that’s just who he is at this point. He’s too good to attach a “If he were healthy he might be….” label because he already is an all time great big. But still. I want a little more.

yeah this is a no brainer considering he's the face of the franchise. With his talent you have to ride or die with him the next four years.

Kinda funny looking back at that draft, you figure the teams that took Wiggins and Jabari Parker ahead of him must be absolutely kicking themselves :hammerhead:
Then you realize it was the Cavs and Bucks and coincidentally they both won chips since that time :oldlol:

After the season he had they had to pay him. After all those years of tanking for high picks he is the only one that has worked out well.
Still his injury history is a major concern.
He was on the Zach Lowe podcast during the season. Apparently there was a lot of conflict between him and the team regarding his foot problems in his first two seasons. He finally blew them off because he felt they were pushing him too hard when he wasn't ready.
He also said he copied moves from Dirk prior to the season because he felt it would help him in the playoffs.

Leads the league in assisted 3pt shots since he started playing
If I had the stats since he entered the league Id bet without knowing he is top 10 if not closer to top 5 in total points from assists. So while he doesn’t take 3’a he’s the best in the business at creating 3pt shots. The sixers 3pt shooting is night and down when he’s on he court vs off.
So to say Embiid is the only one to work out isn’t true in the slightest. It’s more so on the side of wrong.

I said work out well. Do you really think Simmons has lived up to expectations as a number 1 pick? He isn't a bust but i would say at this point he is a disappointment.
He had a complete meltdown in the playoffs, scared to shoot and struggling horribly at the foul line. I can accept not shooting jumpers but when your primary ball handler can't make foul shots that is a huge problem. Seems like he has an attitude issue as well, cutting off communication with the front office.
Not to mention that he is a horrible fit with Embiid and the two don't seem to get along at all.
Then there are all the other draft picks they completely f'd up. Hard to remember them all. :oldlol:

Live up to expectations of a #1 pick? Nah. But I still think his pick worked out. He’s been vital for the sixers winning 50+ and making the playoffs. Without him? Who knows how the team looks. Ingram would’ve been a better fit no doubt. I just can’t bring myself to say his pick didn’t work out. As frustrating as he’s been.
We definitely bombed some picks. I only count Hinkie era honestly. When he was forced out the process ended in my eyes. But Noel, Okafor bombed.

He tallied harris's 24 points in game six of the semifinals against the hawks en route to their win. His performance in game five is close to it only if they didn't choke that game away. It's kinda exceptional for someone who's believed to be a role player, especially when he played in the d-league before. And he did so with a team that's been struggling to get past the second round for quite a while now.

And they still didn't get past the second round in spite of being a 1 seed. It wasn't like he was the key in a game 7 victory. Shooting well and losing to a lower seed in the second round isn't iconic. That is just dumb.

Well, can't blame you if you don't want to believe it but what's more is that he also outscored his #1 pick teammate ben simmons in that series as well, who went for a combined 19 points in the last three games against the hawks. Even i wasn't expecting he could play like that during that time.

Doc rivers needs to share the blame. He is a horrible in game adjuster. He adjusts after the fact. And by that time your team is defeated. He also is accountability for Ben Simmons in how he plays. All season he said the way he played is fine. He never challenged Ben to score more/be more aggressive. He never chewed him out for passing up a wide open dunk. So while Ben performance was face palm worthy. And he definitely gets blame. Doc came here as a veteran coach (with his series fails since Boston title) and allowed Ben to stay in his comfort zone.
If blame was a car? Doc is the passenger giving Ben the driver directions.

TBH even if Embiid made those free throws that game was virtually over anyway, would have been a long shot pulling out a victory from there. It is not like he stood on the 3 point line when shooting a game winner and cost his team the game when they needed three points and not two.
And for the record Seth Curry was great offensively in the playoffs, he really stepped up. However he was partly a reason they lost because he couldn't guard anyone. Kevin Heurter destroyed him and that was a huge factor to the Hawks success in that series.
I don't really blame Curry tho. Danny Green was injured and Simmons was giving nothing offensively, so Doc was forced to leave Curry in.
Ok carry on now.

Curry will never be a defender so that’s the risk you take with having him. The issues is the bench provides no reliable offense to offset defensive woes like that. Doc doesn’t play maxey and when he does the moment Shake has a good game he goes to him the next game. I don’t blame Thybulle but he’s really an offensive liability out there. Great defense but no offense. He can’t even give you Tony Allen scoring. If he was a 3 and D player? Guys like Curry you can live with.
Hawks bench scoring was killing us. I always felt the bench was key for the Sixers to get far. I know Ben did what he did. But if you remember the Hawks always had someone off the bench giving them buckets. We really needed someone. I was hoping we could get Kelly Olynky (spelling??). He would’ve been the perfect forward off the bench to give us some offense. Shake really fell off when Doc was praising him to be the scoring guard off the bench. I hope Maxey gets more minutes. I think he can be a Lou Williams caliber scoring guard off the bench. Not comparing their games just the role of that makes sense? The combo guard that gives you instance offense.
Not having Danny Green even tho his defense is as bad as Currys hurt. Didn’t think I would say that. Danny could hit 3’s. But again I feel if Maxey was given more burn from Doc who knows.
But bench has always been the top thing I was worried about last season

For Embid to win a championship, Simmons needs to get traded ASAP! No more playing around 76ers, they keep asking for more and more from every team.
Ben isn't even communicating with the team and they still have him on their roster. Trade him right away or risk having to deal with another James Harden situation that happened in 2020.... Ben needs to go to the SPURS to grow!

Means that he deserves all of the blame for the 76ers loss to the Hawks last season.

He does deserve all of the blame he is getting as when you are on a Max contract and are shooting 33 percent from the foul line as a guard and are flat out scared to take wide-open drunks and layups.
You deserve to get roasted.
The 76ers are not paying Ben over 170 Millon dollars to be a defensive role player and the fifth option on offence.
We know he has the talent as he dropped 42 points on Rudy's head.
But Ben lacks the mental strength to become a truly great player in the NBA as he refuses to work on the flaws in his game.

Imagine putting this series on Simmons :facepalm
Can't wait till he gets out of that garbage franchise and flourishes on a new team
Simmons legit looks like a top 10 player in the NBA when EmChoke isn't holding him back
The problem with Simmons though is because he offers no spacing John Collins had an easier time contesting Joel's game-winning layup
And if you go back and watch a lot of the 76ers offensive struggles throughout the playoff you see the same thing.
Simmons clogging the lane which makes it very tough on Joel to score in the playoffs.

For Embid to win a championship, Simmons needs to get traded ASAP! No more playing around 76ers, they keep asking for more and more from every team.
Ben isn't even communicating with the team and they still have him on their roster. Trade him right away or risk having to deal with another James Harden situation that happened in 2020.... Ben needs to go to the SPURS to grow!

Embiid had no problem scoring during the regular season so it's no excuse for going 0-12 in a half and missing an easy layup to put the series to bed
Ben Simmons stats in 7 games against the Hawks: 9.9 pts, 6.3 rebs, 8.6 asts, 1.3 stls, 0.9 blks, and 33% from the FT line.
Ben Simmons' stats from Games 5-7 against the Hawks
Game 5: 38 min - 8 pts - 4 reb - 9 ast - 2/4 FG - 4/14 FT
Game 6: 25 min - 6 pts - 9 reb - 5 ast - 2/6 FG - 2/4 FT
Game 7: 36 min - 5 pts - 8 reb - 13 ast - 2/4 FG - 1/2 FT
And you are blaming Embiid :roll:
When Ben isn’t even attempting that wide-open dunks you know he is basically useless as the Hawks defenders can cheat off him and double Embiid
Manny wears a helmet here when he posts. Guy makes zero sense he just hates Embiid. Shits weird he’s that obsessed. Probably has photos of Embiid on his walls. Most have puncture holes in them from him throwing knives at them whenever he does well. Most of the photos he went into the mind of a 11yr old as he doodled all over it. Giving embiid missing teeth, patch over eye etc. ultimate weirdo.
