Sorry Jazz fans – Ben is the NBA Rookie of the Year

Hammering on the point over and over is. You do you, though.
Objectively Simmons has been the 3rd or 4th best player on his team in the playoffs. Hopefully he steps it up next round. Although it might not matter. The East is straight garbage in the playoffs this year.

Then Good luck finding a 76ers player
who is currently playing better than simmons in the playoff .
( 19pts /11rbds /10ass/2.5stl)
In fact simmons is the best player across both teams so far in the series.

He's insulting our intelligence, Ain't. Listen, One Brow, I carefully checked everything and you were Ain't. So, let's just forget it. I know it was you. The logic of your thought pattern was identical. When I called you, which you refuse to admit (and therein lies the truth of the matter), you gave yourself away by your reaction. I'm also good at detecting psychos like yourself who would conduct a 30-page debate between yourself and your alt to prove you weren't your alt, and even include posts by your alt on your website. Oh, but this Ain't guy was just some guy who lived in your neighborhood but you didn't know him, right? I'm still annoyed by this because no one believed me. If you weren't Ain't, it surely belied coincidence.

Way to set very specific parameters to try and fit others into that.
Good luck finding Simmons shooting lights out like JJ, Saric, Ersan and Belinelli. Good luck finding Simmons demanding the kind of attention Embiid is or defending the paint like he is. Good luck finding Simmons take over a game in the 4th like those guys have. Good luck finding Simmons hustle and swarm on defense like Covington has. Good luck finding anyone on 76ers turning the ball over as much as Simmons. Good luck finding anyone on the 76ers shooting as poorly from the FT on Simmons kind of volume as Simmons is shooting. Simmons doesnt have the best offensive rating or defensive rating despite his inflated stats. His +/- and even adjust +/- is no where near the best.
Simmons has played okay but his teammates have been really good. He has played within the offense and made the system passes he is supposed to. He has scored in the open court and on plays where the defense leans too much on other players. He has been pretty solid. He hasnt shot that well, he has turned the ball over a **** ton. He has pulled his usual disappearance act in the late 4th in close games.
His +/- is negative when the game is within 10 points. He is only positive on the +/- when one team is ahead by more than 10 points and most of that is because he has a huge +/- when his team is ahead by more than 15 points.
Simmons isnt the reason they are winning. If he didnt play the series would look exactly the same. T.J and Fultz could hold down the PG spot just fine.
All that isnt a knock on Simmons he has big potential and is playing okay. Just the facts.

The east is actually quite strong
4 teams in the east would start as favourites against the Jazz in a 7 matches playoff ~
Toronto, Philly, Boston, Cleveland.
Lol, nah. Those teams are bad. I think any team in the West beats those teams in a playoff series. Probably even sweep most of them. I dont care who would be favorites but just what would happen.
East is straight garbage and will get swept in the Finals.

He is leading the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals , but is not the best player of the team ? what can one say.

We heard your arguments time and again. When you force them upon people who you know vehemently disagree with you and continue on with it, that's trolling and disrespectful and I say you should be banned with Franklin's other alt. Why don't you find someone else to piss off, Frank. Go down to the police station and do us all a favor.
That no advanced stats shows him as the best for any game in the series.
Or that if you bumped either backup PG TJ or Fultz into his role they would also be averaging close to the same even based on their per 100 in this series. Or that he has got most his stats in garbage time. Or that no one on his team has given up more points off turnovers to the other team. Or that you keep posting his rebounds as something impressive yet only 1 or 2 are actually contested. Or that most of those assists are simple system passes to an open guy that his teammates got open. Or a bunch of other things.
Its okay, we know you are not objective on this one.
If it makes you feel better I dont think Mitchell has been the best player for the Jazz this postseason. But its a team effort for the Jazz so its hard to point to 1 person. The same could be said of 76ers.
Dude you need to relax. There is no reason to ban this poster. I am sure you think it is someone but it doesnt really matter. If you dont like their posts or the person just ignore them. It will be good for you mental health. There is no reason to get worked up over some poster on here.

Do you understand what usage rate is? It's how much the ball is in your possession. It's not now many shots.

Ron, I dislike this troll too, but I don't think I agree with your assessment of those teams. They are all good.

Well, I disagree. This person, whether he's Frank or not, should be banned for intentionally trolling. This isn't the purpose of this site. He made his argument but he continues on with it just to annoy the posters on this site. To me that's a hostile act and should be treated accordingly.

That is a silly argument, TJ only played minimal minutes in the series because Brett brown knows he is rubbush. He is a role player at best. Fultz got DNP in the last game because he was pretty bad in the first 3 games.
They are not that good but they can run the system just fine and thats the point. That is all that is needed from the PG for 76ers right now. Thats why they have both got triple doubles this season when they have got minutes. 76ers would be better off right now if Simmons tried to do a little less and stayed within the system. He would not be turning the ball over as much.
Nah, he is just posting what he thinks about a player. It is definitely not hostile. The only one being hostile here is you. Maybe you should worry less about conspiriacy theories on who everyone is and trying to track them down and try and not be as hostile to posters and call them names.
The purpose of this site is to post opinions.
