Way more replies than I ever expected :-) Simmons´ G7 performance just solidified my feelings. The era, when you got away with playing someone like him, is long gone. I don´t want to watch Luka suffer the way Embiid did, because they could wall him with two guys all the time.
Simmons and Gobert .... I don't care how awesome you are on defense, I don't care what your net rating is in the regular season .... you're a net liability deep in the playoffs if you can't/won't do anything on offense. Like, you just can't even be on the floor in the final 5 minutes. Both Gobert and Simmons should have been benched in the 4th quarter. It's not just this game, I think Simmons gone 5 games without attempting a shot attempt in the 4th quarter.
