This is NOT true at all.
SIMMONS looked lost vs. Celtics.
Embiid averaged 23/14 against them.

What's good for Boogie is that he wasn't a player that relied on athleticism, he doesn't really get off the ground, so I like his chances, plus all that time rehabbing might help him develop better habits in the gym. Might.
His defense was always subpar and that might take a hit after the injury but his offense should be fine.
Hopefully he doesn't go to LA this offseason and stays in NO I think they can build something there.

Let Horford blow by him for the game winner
And missed the layup to win game 5
Don't let the numbers fool you he struggled too, nobody knows because they're too busying slamming the rookie. Keep in mind this is his team not Simmons.

"but but this era sucks because there's no quality big men like the 90s"
this's one of the best big men draft in a long time, but we'd rather talk about some Euro kid scoring 15 points and 3 rebounds
this Euro gotta be at least as good as Tatum in the NBA
This. All this hype is a major turnoff
Its a shame too, b/c if he turns out to be a solid second/third option type player, he'll be considered a bust b/c of all the hype received going into the draft and how high up he was selected.
Wouldn't be in that position if not for Simmons

Sixers played a lot better with TJ runnin the point and Simmons operating off ball
All I know is, that arrogant Aussie better come back next season with some semblance of a jump shot
Otherwise he's just a big Minny version of Rubio

Oh ok just like when Kat struggles it it's Wiggins fault and if Harden struggles it's Paul's fault.
Having 1 point in a game, blowing a 20 point lead, blowing a lead late due to turnovers and a missed dunk, lack of halfcourt game leading to Belinelli and Redikk taking contested leaning 3s and shyt, but it's Embiid's fault they lost the series when he had 23/14
nikka kill yourself. @Malta rollin round in his grave.

It's Embiid's team he's supposed carry them not Simmons. What other superstar is getting away with missing wide open lay ups to win the game, and letting Horford blow by you with the game on the line? If you just looking at stats Simmons had a good series too. Simmons gets criticized and deservingly so but Embiid got a pass. Harden not getting a pass if he puts up 23/12
Simmons is the POINT GUARD he played more minutes than Embiid in their losses and played like GARBAGE nikka FOH.
He blew those games not Embiid. They are up 5-10 points in those scenarios you're highlighting if Simmons doesn't play like damn scrub
He had a positive plus/minus against them as well if I’m remembering correctly. Horford and Baynes did a great job but his supporting cast was trash that series.

Durant and Westbrook all over againSimmons is the POINT GUARD he played more minutes than Embiid in their losses and played like GARBAGE nikka FOH.

Yeah KD/Embiid carrying Westbrook/Simmons to the big game and Westbrook/Simmons choking it away but wanna act like he main guy.
I can picture a game just like the 2012 finals where Westbrook/Simmons FINALLY having a big game and losing and yelling at KD/Embiid like he wasn't the main one putting in work
