OT: Philadelphia 76ers: The tank is over.

[Jack Straw]

Simmons passing skills are elite

 

[WastedTalent]

That threading of the needle on the fast break was filthy

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Just tuned in. Will Simmons be playing any more in the second half?

I don't see why not.

 

[Jack Straw]

Might be the first time I've seen Brett Brown smile since he joined the Sixers.

 

[FLYguy3911]

6 to midnight.

God he looks good. He's only taken 3 shots but he's impacted the game on all ends. Can't wait to see him with some shooters around him he's going to be a triple double machine.

I like this McConnell cat. Reminds me of Rudy haha. Any chance the little guy plays this year? I dont know anything about him, but hes hustling his ass off

He played a lot last year, backup PG after they got Ish. I think he may fill the same role this year. Question is who will he be backing up.

He will be playing a lot. Of the guys playing right now Simmons, TJ, Holmes and Luwawu will being playing the most.

He started a few games last year lol. He's nothing more than a backup 8-10 min a game tops

Edit:double post*

On a side note, Simmons left with cramps (I'm assuming, he's stretching out his calf on the bench). He only had one practice before this so hopefully it's nothing.

 

[Hurricane28]

Didn't McConnell have a buzz cut during the year?

 

[Jack Straw]

Looks like Simmons will be coming back in

 

[TheWolfOfBroadStreet]

Yea, I almost didn't recognize him at the start of the game. Simmons is also subbing back in so it looks like he is fine.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Simmons can ****ing pass. GEEEE SUSSSSS

 

[Jack Straw]

TLC (I'm not even going to try calling him anything other than that) has looked good too.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I'd really prefer if he wouldn't get banged up.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Dude. What the ****.

 

[Jack Straw]

Yeah, he looks like he's cramping up.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Well that sucks.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Cramps in both calves. Bench him for the summer.

Amazing. He is only going to make everyone better. He had like one practice since his days at LSU? The Sixers better have their running shoes on and eyes in the back of their heads.

 

[Ruck Over]

I don't know about this Simmons guy, I don't get the big deal.

First, he missed at least two jumpers. That 0% make average on those two misses don't bode well for the rest of his career.

Also, don't we have enough guys who are hurt and can't play. There was at least some time left on the clock when they announced he was done for the game. If there is time on the clock, players should be playing, that's what they're being paid for. I mean, if it was one calf cramp, maybe we don't have to shoot him. But he got two calf cramps, in the same game, at the same time. Prolly will have to put him down, like a horse.

And I like TJ better with a buzz cut. And LeWawa missed a 3 pointer.

But that Woods guy, he made at least 3 nice plays, probably, so it wasn't a total lost. Holmes didn't look bad either.

Tonite was a good first step, Simmons is flat out fun to watch, hope we can surround him with better talent, because he will make the people around him better. Passes were sweet, maybe a lil too much mustard on a few of them though.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

So why doesn't Ben Simmons have a Australian accent? I feel like I've been had. 100% bust.
