I hear ya, but disagree that he shouldn’t be a PG. His athleticism, etc. with the ball is PG-level. The gist of what I am saying is that his non-shooting, in today’s NBA, is an issue, regardless of what position people think he “should play.” Small-ball centers shoot threes. Embiid shoots 3s as a huge center.

I know you hate this Sixers team and with all due respect to “The Ringer,” he’s not a “small-ball” center with a “decent” handle. Especially in a position-less NBA. He absolutely can play it at times and is probably the Sixers best back-up center, but you are killing him for what he isn’t and completely missing what

100 percent . . . as long as you take away that whole “erased Nets leading scorer” in first round and is the only thing keeping Kawhi from averaging 40-plus every night. His ability to guard all five positions and the other team’s best player 1-4 has definitely hindered the Sixers.

Nothing screams mainstream ratings and entertainment like Milwaukee and Toronto. The casual fans will be out in droves.

No, he’s definitely 22.

Except when the play-offs rolled around and Westbrook jacked up 31 shots in a game that George was 14-20.

I think the problem for Kyrie Westbrook will always be that he can’t see himself as a complementary star/very good player.

I like this new Raptors strategy of having a guy who is good at basketball in the playoffs. 

So ridiculous I think he’s the only one to do it. He is at 38 ppg on 62% shooting in this series.. Jordan went over 35 on 60 % in a series. No one else has come close. 

First off, Lowry low-bridged him which is “short guy looking to start a fight at a pick-up game 101.” That’s why Lowry looks down and is completely prepared to drop like he was shot when Simmons was rightfully annoyed.

Lowry’s “boxing out” when a player is in the air might have had something to do with Simmons being a wee bit annoyed. And Lowery knew what he was doing when he did it . . . 

I’ll bite . . . Simmons is a goon?

Lowry knows what he is doing when he backs into a guy in the air. It’s the kind of low-bridge move in a pick-up game that gets you dropped.

I’m starting to think some people read stat sheets after the game to determine who is “good” and who “isn’t.” Simmons was the sole reason the Sixers were able to build a lead and even when Kawhi scored on Simmons, most came with an insane level of difficulty. Now keep in mind he is 22, 6'11" and guarding probably the

I’m surprised he didn’t flail backwards, yell and get a foul called on Harris . . . seems to work every other time Lowry does it.

The Microwave was the third guard after two Hall of Famers on a Championship squad, not only are they comparable but Lou is not 1000x better (and I love Lou.) Vinnie could flat out play.

Actually at this point in his career he’s 100 percent suited to be a bench player, and that’s not a slight at all. He’s 6-ft tall and can’t guard a lick. In today’s NBA, he comes off the bench and destroys second teams, further inflating his irrational confidence (Also not a slight). By the end of the game he is

Um, how are the Warriors defending the PnR with an actual center doing the rolling? (No disrespect to Harrell but he’s killing them at 6'8")

OH GOOD GOD what will the completely rational Flyers fans do now?

Fair, but also an admitted “once in a Blue Moon” event. When Shaq turned his elbow into the entire NBA throughout his entire career and never even received calls for offensive fouls, it drove me nuts. But I didn’t hate him for it. It’s a basketball play against a shorter player. Not some egregious act of aggression.
