    5 points in a game 7 for Simmons. I’ll pass.

    Glenn Rivers when he doesn't have 3 HOF players and is left with **only** 2 all-stars is a fish out of water.

    One thing is for certain is there have been a few remarkable series losses this year for sure.

    Doc Rivers is overrated. KG, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen saved his ass

    Amazing that our 2nd best player might not be good enough to obtain someone like that.

    We better not be stupid enough to trade for Simmons.

    Happy for Nate, he deserves a trip to the conference finals.

    No. The guy has been exposed. Philly was literally 4 on 5 on offense.

    It probably would be fair but it doesn’t really make sense for them to do that because Simmons is their primary playmaker. For CJ, it makes sense because he can at least play the part of a pg and has had stretches where he’s played well there. But for Norm, they would now basically have to find a real pg and play Curry off the bench.

    Well, the one cship has allowed him to ride, that he’s a great coach wave. He struggles in playoffs big time since and this loss against a 5 seed is another example. With 3 minutes left he never got his guys up as they were dropping their heads.

    Yeah I know you would. You have been saying it for a while and it still makes no sense.
    This franchise would not survive a 5-year drought., let alone a 10 year one.

    No, I think Thybulle would be a huge factor in why Simmons could be expendable. He can replace Simmon's defense.

    So the Sixers just gave away their starting PG?

    Hawks win 3 in Philly.
    Morey will go away from Simmons.
