Just watched some of the game highlights and am I seeing things or is it fair to say that Simmons has as good a handle as any 6' 10" player ever? Maybe the best for any player that size?
If he keeps scoring at a clip of 28 points per 30 minutes he'll definitely be an all-time Philly favorite.I watched the Embiid Interview after the game. He is a very likable dude, easy to root for and somewhat humble. With his intensity on the court, he could be an all-time Philly favorite.
Sounds good to me.I'm a career wrestler so take this with a grain of salt, but imo he's a bigger, slightly less athletic version of Lebron

One place behind the Blazers. Who they whipped handily last week. But, whatever.
What a week for the Sixers and the fans!!!! We get Sixers and Cavs tonight with Simmons and Lebron going at it, should be fantastic since they are good friends and work out together in the off season. Wednesday night we get Wall and the Wizards with the Celtics on Thursday night!!! This week will start to show how good this team is and how far they have come

I'm heading to the game tonight. Haven't been to a Sixers game since the Dr. J years.
Wall is out for at least two weeks with a knee injury. Hopefully Simmons elbow swelling has gone down.
Lots of smoke that the Sixers are lining up making a run at Lebron in the off season if he opts out... seeing also the Sixers would be at the top of his list of teams to go
What a joke. They have purposely fouled Simmons on 12 straight possessions to send him to the line. This isn't basketball. The Sixers have been on the foul line 60 times tonight.
I am glad the commissioner is there to see this ... absolute disgrace. If I paid money to sit through this game I would be livid. Yes Brooks is playing by the rules but this is hideous to watch
He’s not here to see this....he left in the 3rd.
100 free throws tonight in this game ... hideous
I agree either, if the non-ball handler is intentionally fouled, either return the ball to the team after the free throws or allow the actual ball handler to shoot the foul shots. If the defense can "designate" who they will foul regardless of possession, the offense should be able to designate who will shoot.Yes that was ridiculous and they need to make some rule changes to prevent that type of stuff from occurring.....Glad to see him make some at the end and at least he got lots of actual game practice to work on his FT shooting! A little over 50% isn't as bad as some, but he will definitely need to improve that as he grows in the league.
IMO, If you intentionally foul someone without the ball it should be 2 shots and the ball...that would eliminate most of this right away. They were just grabbing him as soon as the ball was inbounded. At make them foul the guy with the ball like happens in college.
Or 3 to make 2 like the old daysI agree either, if the non-ball handler is intentionally fouled, either return the ball to the team after the free throws or allow the actual ball handler to shoot the foul shots.
