OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[100027]

Exactly. Quin Snyder isn't getting enough backlash for what happened in games 5 and 6 of that series. Lost a series that was tied 2-2 to a team playing without their all-NBA player. Clearly outcoached and out-schemed and he's getting away scott free.

Quinn is a young genius and will be promoted to Team President soon.

It’s only incompetents like Nate McMillian who deserve to be fired, for not winning playoff games with mediocre rosters, according to certain people on this forum.

If after the summer Ben is still a daily topic 24/7 then it might be approaching 2011 status but until then it's probably more like PG last year.

Next time he'll be in the news after this initial wave of furor dies down after this week might be when there's some trade discussions surrounding him.

Not really expecting folks to be pyschoanalyzing him and dissecting his existence from all angles in a few weeks.

I don't envy these athletes during the SM era though, gotta be an insane and exhausting way of life having your every fault put on blast on the big screen and discussed by any and everyone

Excellent comparison. (PG)

Ben Simmons isn't a Main Eventer so nobody "Really" cares about him forreal.

 

[tay1]

Ben Simmons is so universally hated right now, that the focus isn't even on doc rivers like it should be. Imo

PG is somewhat instructive because that piling on was wayyyy undeserved. Like he deserved some mockery but people went way overboard with it and actually convinced themselves he was a bad player and a horrible person or something.

It was only that bad because he kept talking.

If you're Dame, you probably aren't happy the team is hiring a first time head coach (regardless of accomplishments). At the very least, you're apprehensive.

Well if they hire BH, he better keep those comments to himself

 

[af1 1982]

What would Dubs offer Philly for Ben ? Weisman, Oubre/Wiggins and Draymond? No way they keep Draymond if they trade for Benjamin

Need to bring a 3rd team in. Because no way Philly is trading for anyone but a primary ball handler that can shoot

Well said and I agree 1000%.

He said some dumb **** but then he’d also say totally normal **** that people would overreact to/overinterpret in a negative way.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Disrespectful.

It's real to some fans man.

I get that. It was a bunch of stuff piling on. He wasn’t taking accountability and that’s not cool.

But you see all is forgiven when you play well and the world finds another person to beat up. Happy for PG

Did we discuss Bucks/Hawks yet? I got bucks in 5 based on Giannis and Lopez being more of a paint presence than Embiid. Holiday should be able to "contain" Trae, especially if his Game 7 performance carries over. Don't think Opie and Bogdonavic play as well against Middleton and PJ, but IDK

 

[aepps20]

Hope this man finds the peace he needs. He took this L hard. I think him and Benjamin need to have a summit and hash things out.

 

[niceshoes247]

Let that man be

I mentioned ESPN, TNT, and FSN in my post

Comprehend better before you quote me next time

I wasn't even tryna be disrespectful, I was asking a legitimate question because you quoted some tweets and complained about the NBA "allowing" the media to say certain things. So I don't even understand why you immediately jumped to spiciness.

If it's because you felt stupid after I pointed it out, that's a "you" problem, not a "me" problem. Don't get spicy with me cuz you sound stupid, I'm not the problem here. What is the NBA supposed to do? Sanction Skip Bayless?

Donald Trump as the president of the US couldn't stop the media from talking greasy about him but I guess Adam Silver knows something he didn't.

 

[aepps20]

The key match up will be MIDDLE TOWN AMERICA vs MLK'S DREAM FULFILLED.

Not enough being said about this point. The media is the enemy of da people.

Stop bullying me

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I personally think there's plenty of blame to go around in Philly--Simmons not being able to shoot the broad side of a barn, Doc Rivers chocking away about game-7/series he should've won, and Embiid chocking in the 4th quarter in 3 critical games.

But that's just my opinion.

kingfoamnyc is just mad that his argument is fundamentally flawed and people called him out so he's just going to pretend like we can't comprehend what he's saying or we're misrepresenting him. There's not much to it, happens all the time.

LOL @ LeBron being protected and the NBA (or any sports league) somehow regulating the amount of criticism it's athletes can get.

Can you imagine Adam Silver or somebody from the NBA League office calling FS1, ESPN, NBCSports and saying "look, I need you guys to lay off Ben Simmons."
