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

[Handlogten's Heros]

After this first game maybe Simmons should have been #3 on this ROY list. Good thing playoffs dont count. I dont know how 76ers are losing to Boston who is missing their 2 best players.

76ers have to win this series to get any respect. I hope its just first game jitters.


Honestly I dont see Lebron and Simmons working together well. If Lebron had interest in 76ers I would trade Simmons for someone else. Simmons cannot play off the ball and if you take the ball out of Lebrons hands that is just plain stupid. Maybe in a few years if/when Lebron starts to fade.

They also don’t have Jaylen Brown... terry rozier better than all of them tbh.

Jayson Tatum would have won RoY in many years. He's a great player. It's apparently dawned on other fans that Simmons could have played for part of last year but Philly was too busy finishing up their tank job. Meanwhile he's getting the NBA trainers and coaching that whole year. I'm curious whether he also practiced.

Did you just watch the game? He just got outplayed by Tatum by a mile. Yes he deserved in the regular season but he has not been near as good in the playoffs. Thats why I said good thing the playoffs dont count. And yes this is an from me overreaction to his garbage play losing the game for a team I cheer for.

Simmons still have the best playoff stats out of all rookies this year. Yes a bad game by his standard but he still contributed 18/7/6/2/1 in this match

7 turnovers 5 missed free throws and -21. So inefficient and got lit up by the second string PG.

Sounds like Kanter's mission statement. "At least I got my stats"

What a silly comment. Even Lebron had 5+ turnovers many many times in his career.
mitchell never had any turnovers this season?
mitchell never had any negative +/- in this season?

I was told by a simmons hater here " stats don't lie " .Handlogten's Heros also
just mentioned Ben's 7 turnovers 5 missed free throws and -21.

Now you just mentioned the kanter mission " At least I got my stats ", as if Stats don't matter.
So what is it then, do stats matter or not ?
You can't have it both way.

I'm waiting for the adjustment in game 2 where Simmons actually defends someone who matters (not Smart). I think he should start out on Rozier. His length worried him the few times they were matched up. If he starts getting burned then he should switch to Tatum. I think he would pitch a shut out against him.

Interesting Game 2. Belli looks unplayable, and Cov is the streakiest shooter in the NBA. Saric shot is looking way flat. Problem for Philly is their shooters are a bad match up for the athletic wings Boston can throw at them. It really requires Ben and Joel to be super aggressive whenever they can' t get out and run.

Honestly, it makes Donovan look weak when he does this stuff. I would prefer it if he mocked Simmons for not scoring outside 8 feet and shooting 56% from the ft line (and 0% from 3). It just makes Simmons look like this Rookie classes daddy when they go with the 'not a real rookie' thing

Can make anything that ain’t a dunk... has to defer to JJ and Marco in the clutch cuz he can’t shoot... had 7 TOs but woulda had more if they called half the travels. Rozier and Al destroyed him.

I guess maybe Philly should not hang all those championship banners just yet... I can see why they’d get so excited when they beat a mediocre heat team but maybe they got a little ahead of themselves.

Man Ben is such a douche and the Philly fans are so insufferable that I’m rooting for Boston.

This isn't going to age well I'm guessing

Nah I just remember someone saying DM’s 38 pts in game 6 wasn’t that great... blah blah.
