    intentional foul for Simmons? how embarrassing for him.

    Morey likes that strategy though. analytics says it's a dumb move by Washington.

    we'll see.

    Doc wouldn't embarrass Ben, but he could take him off the court.

    LMAO at Russell saying he went for the ball

    He damn near wrapped Simmons up and threw him down

    I can't believe this board wanted to entrust this team's future on Simmons. He can't even be trusted to step up when Embiid goes down, absolutely useless in half court and is being shamelessly exploited on the line in winning time.

    I haven't been watching many Sixers games in the playoffs - is Korkmaz regularly in their closing lineup?

    edit: nevermind, didn't realise Embiid got hurt earlier

    Not a fan of Simmons. Glad we didn't trade for him.

    GJGE Wizards

    Westbrook built a new arena (did get a triple double though)
    Simmons MIA (partly foul trouble)
    Joel Embiid MVP

    Biggest surprise was Daniel Gafford. Showcased well on national TV.

    Glad Stone didn’t fall for Simmons. His free throw is Andre Roberson bad.

    "attempting" to breach the court? Dude was on the court, "attempting" to touch the backboard.

    Sounds like somewhere is trying to cover up there shoddy security arrangements

    im not actively rooting for or against Westbrook or Morey, but it would be hilarious if Morey lost in the first round. it would be even more hilarious if Doc lost a huge series lead again too.

    Poor Morey. Looks like another Yao situation with Embiid. It seems very unlikely that he can stay healthy for a full playoff run.
