nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

ben simmons goes home and watches videos of early 2000s pistons games

"no offense but..."

*ben simmons' eyes narrow, nostrils flare*

Just slap dude in the head while taking a 3 with 1 min left in Gm 7. Smart.

thybulle ambitious

thybulle may eventually become the defender everyone seems to think he is now

kinda doesnt matter if he cant do any offense

holy shit

if Philly pulls this off the series against the Bucks is gonna be hilarious

well we’re now in “either way this is a franchise altering loss” territory

sixers may be dysfunctional

Well, thanks for not making us sweat it at least.

when your best offense is your gargantuan center dribbling in iso against multiple defenders

god damn the reactions in the crowd

Gallo... I’m so proud

embiid has 25 turnovers

lmao

blatant travel how can you be so bad at reffing

unbelievable!

process, trusted

well that was a travel?

legitimately feel bad for everyone in that crowd

the hawks may get out of the east by virtue of having no psychological damage affecting their team

[pour gas on floor, self]

trae has won two playoff series and luka has won zero

[tosses match]

legitimately feel bad for everyone in that crowd

someone just threw something on the floor so no i do not

lmao and deandre ayton is in the 3rd round, too

xp

philly had 0 chance to not get swept by the bucks so i'm glad we can get a chance at a real conference finals now

embiid with the stat-padding putback and then doesn’t guard the inbounds lol

philly fans throwing stuff lol

classic philly phans

trae isn't even trolling the crowd, he knows they can't handle it

yeah Bucks match up better vs. Philly but having home court is kind of a big deal

if the simmons-embiid experiment can't even make it to the ECF in 4 tries maybe it's time to break it up

well it's the conference finals matchups we all predicted when the season began

kevin huerter getting interviewed as maryland makes it into the sweet 16

if the simmons-embiid experiment can't even make it to the ECF in 4 tries maybe it's time to break it up

You would have to think Morey was watching this series, right? That's what GMs do, I think.

Ben Simmons 4th quarter this series:
Game 1: 2-2 FG
Game 2: 0-0 FG
Game 3: 1-1 FG
Game 4: 0-0 FG
Game 5: 0-0 FG
Game 6: 0-0 FG
Game 7: 0-0 FG

completely insane. how is that possible

so you're saying he shot 100%

He's a max player.

wonder if the sixers are going to regret not trading simmons when he had trade value

two years ago they couldve gotten an entire team for him

some of the conceptual uses of him (center, weird point guard) are untenable since he will no longer attempt field goals

i have no idea how he succeeds as a basketball player at this point

Insane that the two players the Sixers drafted #1 overall both seem to have severe psychological issues on the court.

Will be a brave GM whoever takes on his contract in the hope of it turning positive. I mean maybe a small market team focused on wins in the regular season will be interested? But I think teams will now Hack-a-Simmons all the time now.

Doc Rivers has now blown three 3-1 leads, one 3-2 lead, one 2-0 lead, and lost Game 7 at home four times (five if you count the bubble)

ILH is losing its prognostic touch during this cursed season. Of the 23 votes cast for who would prevail and be NB champ, ILH voted:

bucks: 3
hawks: 1
clippers: 0
suns: 0

If you ignore all other factors, there's a 50% chance ILH will be *gasp* skunked in our voting. This is unprecedented!!

yeah the thing with trading ben simmons is which team is sitting around this offseason going “how can we severely reduce the amount of shooting on our team?” what team wants to do that?
