The masses are usually ******ed.

Anyone with actual basketball knowledge would know that despite how great of a talent Russ is, he's a straight up ball chucking selfish cancer.

 

[BIG FISH]

Russ isn’t a top 5 player in the league

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yo hes lowkey annoying me lately. Its only his first season but i dont see how ppl think his ceiling is higher than Embiids

You're a breath of fresh air compared to some musty sixers fans

Suuuure. Y'all all knowing on here.

When theyre both out there its clear whos 1 & 2 tho. Throw all that health issues crap outta there. Its very clear we shut him down early last yr to get another pick. If he gets injured again this year while we're trying to get into the playoffs then ill be concerned but til then im not sweating it due to previous years circumstances

Bro there's no throwing health issues aside when evaluating a players future, it just doesn't work like that. he's literally played in 19 PERCENT of the games he could've played in since getting drafted. if that doesn't concern you with someone who is 7 ft & 250 idk what to say.

Some of us are puzzled by Ben at times. Im def not giving up on him tho. He gets any sorta jumper then it changes the way teams completely sag off him but til then... :/

 

[BIG FISH]

I thought Ariza didn’t fw Bron?

 

[nick.]

Countless big shots? He went 6 for 15 in OT idk about you but I can count to 6.
Wouldnt have even gone to OT if not for him. He went 0/7 in the 4th quarter

Russ shot 10/12 with no turnovers in the possessions I watched

 

[Moheezy]

Crazy how worthless Simmons was last night in ot. Offense was give the ball to embiid. That lebron comparison is off. Lebron never been that bad at getting buckets.

LOL it's like everyone forgets how NT was all over LeBron for being "passive" and "unclutch" until he came to Miami.

To me the comparison is on point. Lol

But for real, Simmons is great but still had a long way to go.

You guys can continue bickering on and come out of hiding whenever Simmons has an off night. Once they learn to close out games, winning will cure everything and you guys can go back to hibernation.

When you have our lying super cautious medical staff & team officials then you will realize him missing all them games wasnt completely on him. Also during them 19 percent of his games hes played hes been the best player on our team & at times on the entire court. I have faith in him staying healthy enough

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Simmons is not like bron more like rafer Alston

 

[rook]

Embiid needs to get into better shape tho. That’s for sure.

 

[HOU$TON]

Right because you'll never find a game where Harden misses Shots on a lot of attempts (unless it's the playoffs) #notmyfranchiseplayer

The knock on OKC for years was that the only offense is either Durant/Westbrook Iso. so despite KD's talent Russ played a major part in the teams success.

so teams he's been on & has had a Major on, have been to the WCF four times & made the finals once. playoffs two other times with no KD (or AS player to replace his production slightly)

A "Cancer" who has as high of a usage as he has had throughput the years, isn't gonna get his team anywhere near those levels if they don't play good basketball a majority of the time. Cancers don't have star roles on championship contenders.

Dudes be talking like Russ is J.R Smith or something, dude does make dumb decisions at times but he helps his team way more than he hurts it.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Russ hate and love is cyclical. People hated him when he was drafted, then loved him, then hated him because he was taking shots from KD, then loved him again when KD got hurt... He's just at the hate cycle again. Problem is that people are trying to push a narrative that he isn't one of the elite players in the L now, which is incredibly dumb.

Really it’s just frustrating watching someone so gifted take awful shots. He’s an elite talent for sure.

Who cares about percentages.
If I shoot the Club up trying to kill Wick, and 43 folks are caught in the crossfire but Wick is the last Death, it's a win.

You put a ridiculous amount of pressure on your defense when you're throwing away possessions with bad, inefficient shots.

You just can't afford to throw away possessions against Golden State or Houston.
