Problem with Simmons is he makes it hard for Doc Rivers to stagger his starters with his Bench. Instead of going all bench you're rather leave your #2 All star in while your #1 is out.
Ben's huge problem not shooting outside at all AND being atrocious at the free throw line makes it harder to do that.
Ben for instance playing with Dwight Howard is often bad news, poor free throws and lack of offensive creation.
In this case though, it really wasn't just the bench. Only Embiid and Curry scored well for Philly and their 4th quarter offensive was a complete meltdown starters and all.
