NCAA: We suck so much that we got R’s and D’s to agree on something!
-
Rondo has 91 career playoff games where he played 30+ minutes and in only 4 of those did he take 6 or fewer shots. Two of those were in the 2008 season when he was a 21 year old second year player. Simmons had three games this series of 30+ minutes and 4 or fewer shots. Simmons isn’t a bad player and he can still be a valuable regular season player. But the playoffs are different. Teams exploit weakness way more in the playoffs than the regular season. This wasn’t a bad shooting stretch. He’s a headcase at the moment. How else do you explain him only taking 3 shots total in the 4th quarters of the 7 games other than him being terrified to get fouled? At this point, I think we’re much more likely to see this type of play from him continue into next year. What’s going to happen to him in the regular season the first time a team starts fouling him in the 4th quarter? Maybe it won’t carry over to the regular season. And maybe he’ll figure something out and it won’t happen in the playoffs next year. But he’s in his own head right now and I don’t think you can count on him to be the second best player on a contender in the playoffs.

Oof Embiid throwing him under the bus postgame: https://twitter.com/rich_hofmann/status/1406817068813635586?s=21 For those that didn’t watch, Sixers were down 2 late, Simmons had an uncontested layup/dunk at the rim but instead inexplicably passed it to Thybulle who was fouled and only made 1 of 2. Even that undersells it. Trae Young was coming at him too. At least if it’s Collins/Capela you could maybe argue that they’re more likely to be able to block/impede the shot or foul him without allowing him to make the shot. But Trae Young isn’t doing horsefeathers there other than letting you dunk. [tweet] [/tweet]

Lol Simmons took 3 shots total in the 4th quarter this series.
-
Ben Simmons shot attempts by game: 7, 3, 11, 10, 4, 6, 4. I know he’s not a 15 shot a game guy but that’s embarrassing. They’re not going to foul you the whole game and if they do, fine because then five guys will foul out.

Bud probably thought his job was safe after beating the Nets but if they lose the Hawks series he’s gone.
-
Doc’s lucky he got that one title otherwise he’d be known as the coach that blows series his team has no business losing.

Ben Wallace was slightly worse over an entire season. That Simmons stretch is 33.8%. Wallace was 80-238 for 33.6% in 2000-2001.

6/20 - try to lead after 5

After hitting two yesterday. -
No matter who makes the Finals it’s going to be a weird matchup. Sixers have the last title in 1983. Plus it’s not like any of these teams even usually make the conference finals.
-
Yeah, the lack of situational awareness on that possession was nuts. Also, Jrue needs to stop shooting. You’re 5-23. It’s not your night, dude.
-
Except he can’t shoot. 8 years in the league and he’s a career 28.7% shooter with a best season of 30.7%. Stop trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Accentuate what you can do a d stop trying to do what it’s clear you can’t. He doesn’t need to be a traditional center but he needs to cut out the 3’s.
-
68.5% this year. He’s not great but he’s not Shaq either, or even Ben Simmons. Simmons can’t shoot at all and Shaq was a center. Giannis probably should be a center also. A more athletic one but he’s 7’. Giannis is a better shooter than Simmons but I wouldn’t say Giannis can shoot.

6/19 Ross’ disastrous lineup
soccer10k replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I really thought the dude who had a 4.6 and a 5.1 the last couple years was suddenly going to figure it out again and post a sub 4. -
I thought Mourinho was the worst realistic hire Spurs could have made. But this would probably top it.
-
How do you have 2nd and 3rd with no out and hit into a triple play on a ground ball to the pitcher? This is how: [tweet] [/tweet]

Caratini just hit a walkoff home run. To beat the Reds. Off Amir Garrett. Chefs kiss.

Arizona has now lost 22 straight road games which ties a ML record. They’re already down 3-0 to the Giants today also. Meanwhile, Baltimore isn’t far behind and they’ve now lost 19 straight on the road.
-
Embiid and Curry were the only two Sixers who scored from the field in the second half. Even in Kobe’s 81 point game, where he scored 55 in the second half, three other players made at least one FG in the second half (sure, two of them only made one FG but that’s not the point). L

LOL Sixers. Blew an 18 point lead two days ago and a 20+ point lead tonight.

Kawhiout for Game 5 and maybe the series with a knee injury and Chris Paul out indefinitely due to health and safety protocols.

6/15 - Cubs (Mills) @ Mets (Walker) - ESPN

They had won 6 of 7 right before these two games.
