The Inside Crew Reacts to Ben Simmons' Game 7 Performance Against the Atlanta Hawks | NBA on TNT 

Nice comparison...

O snap 🤣🤣

@@toknowhim3987 Boogie Only Did Because Of Injury. He Was Literally Destroying The Warriors In The Playoffs

💀💀💀

Yep it’s makes the criticism of him excessive when you look at Simmons

Giannis has improved an insane ammount. Hes trying his best. Most super stars and al stars always keep doing the same thing.

True. Gotta respect the hard work put in even if results are not showing right away.

Main difference in Giannis compared to Ben to me is the difference between a lot of players most of the time. Ben was a pampered Aussie who was always better than everyone he faced because he was more physically gifted not skilled. Hence being told he was going to be in the NBA and going to be good in the NBA Giannis is from a family that emigrated to Greece and fought for everything in their life because nothing was handed to them Their draft position says a lot on why one decided to grind and keep getting better for his family & why the other just coasted to get his "spotlight of fame"

Exactly, at least he works on it and is not afraid to airball shots, heck KD even airballs his shots, it happens, but you at least gotta have some guts and do it, and this 6’11 joke has the bravery of a peanut, and he has more than a hundred million of contracts! Smh big time

So simmons had 13 assists due to sheer blind luck? And helped make trae shoot 5/23 by not playing defense? Get a clue son

just running around out there tricking yall

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system!

@@malcolmbrown2625 I'm not justifying anything...only saying that he is doing more than just "running around". 13 assists is a stat. 8 rebounds is a stat. Shooting 2/4 is also not terrible. His problem was missing free throws, and being scared to attack, which is related to missing free throws

@@TheMatthiasRiots i told you he was a cop

tbh if you gave me or anyone in this comment section who plays ball as much as him we would die by the ball before we stop practicing. He had no excuse i wanna see him change on the nets

We all know guys who would die on the court before leaving on a missed shot, and those are guys who work a 9-5;

@@spaghettisauce445what a pathetic mentality you have.

His bank account improved. That's all he cares about. It's just a job to him. He's not as passionate about it as the greats are. Rip Kobe ✊

@@thejoke2791 At all

His assists numbers doesn't even reflect the way he generates plays or set the tempo. CP can have only 5 assists yet you can still feel the way he sets the tempo and being a floor general while you don't get that feeling with Simmons no matter how many assists that he got.

@@judyclarkson5887 having a ‘floor general’ that can’t space the floor don’t work out in 2021, no way you put it. He lacks versatility for play off basketball

Dude im disappointed in doc lol.. man left the clippers and clippers advanced to the wcf for first time. Doc most overrated coach in nba history

Let's not act as if Doc isn't responsible for this series too. He played an entire bench unit in a game 7 instead of rotating one of the starters with the bench. Simmons in a 2nd unit as a 4/5 with Philly playing "small ball" surrounded by Maxey, Milton, Hill might have worked. He let Huerter cook Seth Curry all night 😂😂😂

What u talkin bout Tobias took 24 shots 😉

Ouch 🤕

He actually took 0 shots.

he puts in the work thats why..he can miss 9 in a row but think the 10th one is money..no fear still got fts and 21 and 10 in the game

Not afraid to fail. Mamba mentality.

Exactly Trae is afraid to fail. For as much as I dislike him and his game as a Sixers fan I gotta respect him and the hawks for playing tough all series. Ben took himself out of this series and it killed us.

@@razkable exactly bro Ben prolly thinks he gone miss it before taking one shot smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ he in his own head

@@calebroca5134 Right, but it's not all on him, they manage to stay neutral with him, and took a -15 deficit with George Hill playing. Simmons has done good defense, but even if he's not providing enough on offense, they key on the last two games is Hawks forcing Sixers to have more turnovers they them

Where’s the excuses? I don’t hear any? I hear 4 people tearing into a guy who disappeared when it mattered most.

Sorta like when dump boy was president!

@@topshotkyy9777 And now what? Dude doesn’t even wanna redeem himself.

No rings

Because he’s right

Chuck has the most sense in this panel

They’re scared but they know he’s right

They know the Sixers just hit their ceiling, and it's way too low. But it's not just Simmons who deserves criticism-- some of this is on Doc, who could not figure out how to motivate and use him, and Embiid, who still makes a lot of questionable decisions throughout the game. I never had the feeling they were going to win; the cohesion just isn't there.

It's been years now. Simmons doesn't deserve any slack. Either take the salary of a role player or get better.

@@SuperRobertoClemente if game 7 to go to the ECF don’t motivate you what will lol

@@SuperRobertoClemente I can’t put any blame on Embiid. Sure he didn’t play his best game but he played on a torn meniscus. People think Philly fans only care about winning or you get booed. That is completely false. Iverson never won, McNabb never won and are both beloved by the city. We care about effort, and Simmons has shown over 5 years that he will not give effort. That’s why we turned on him.

@@bentoomet8805 Fair enough. If I were the Sixers I would be giving him away for nothing at this point...

@@23StudiosSports Average for the series.

Cause he’s playing Warzone in his free time

Just enjoying the money in the offseason. Partying and whatever else. However, he doesn't have to wait for the offseason. He can come early stay late for practice during the season. All that money and that young minimizes sharpening his skills.

Because everybody coddled him and told him how amazing he was

A jumpshot? He won't even attempt a open dunk.

And frankly Shaq was hitting a better pct on FTs than BS.

@@boonsengyong7173 and Shaq says though he didn’t shoot the FT well, he would make the crucial ones. If you go back and watch his playoff runs with the Lakers he was not kidding.

Shaq's career FT% is only slightly below Ben's. And Shaq was forced to take way more FTs thanks to hack a Shaq. Funny thing is, Shaq wasn't even that bad. I think Ben Wallace was a far worse FT shooter.

Shaq was aggressive just because he was a GIANT! And all he needed was just to show up... his presence alone just moving around is dominance.... 😂 It's easy for him to say so...

Cuz his brother overshadow him, Steph the MJ of the Curry family lol Seth Jermaine 😂

Agree

Crazy Crazy Accomplishment for the Hawks. I give them all the credit in the world tonight

That’s what coaching can do for you.

Put some respect on Nate McMillan. Dude is a great coach

Regular season he plays about 6-10 minutes a game against guys who would play 0 minutes in a playoff game. That’s where he gets his points.

Not a true #1 seed

Focusing on his game has not been a priority up to now.

What game?

he has no game havent you been watching him bru there 2nd supposed best player ben only made 5 shots the whole game while missing a ton of 3s and free throws hes useless i guarantee you a random person thats not on the team would of gave the 76rs more fire and heart then he did theres no excuse he needs to go they need a damian lillard or something

dont forget put that pubg away. he look more care about pubg than basketball game

that wasn't their fault though, he didn't want to stay

Trading Homie and Covington for Jimmy was their biggest mistake. And signing Horford and Harris for 110 mill contracts.

and the heat thanks them for Jimmy.

he's an alternate reality lebron that never learned to shoot, and somehow got worse and worse over the years at shooting, especially free throws

They said that about Wiggins too to be fair.

I'm shock that no one can see his broken shot; even Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball was able to "fix" their shots or at least make it better; yet Ben don't even seem to be trying

100% facts

Could’ve? More like should’ve

@@JohnnytNatural Fultz traded away because he can't shot yet Ben is at 76ers should be an indictment of that franchise.

What? The Hawks have the better roster. Philly just has an unstoppable force in Embid.

@@odizza1688 Knock it off the Sixers with the 1 seed with a group of players who had been in the playoffs multiple times and with a coach who had won a ring. The Hawks were the underdog and they outworked the Sixers and won

The hawks have an incredibly underrated roster talent wise. I think it's the case of an underrated coach defeating a very overated coach

Nah….Tre just better than everybody else.

Ben gets most of his points in transition and transition baskets decrease during the playoffs. Shaq needs to broaden his idea of "shooting" to "ability to put the ball in the basket". Shaq had post moves as his half court scoring package, Giannis's problem was that he had no half court moves, now he's a slightly below average spot up shooter in the half court to go along with his straight line drives to the basket. Ben has NO half court offense what so ever, he didn't at LSU, and you can't be a top player on a Championship team if you have no half court scoring package.

He just needs to learn how to shoot free throws like Giannis

Doesn’t seem to be a finisher either

@@erivera4517 I literally said he won’t even do that

Rdc world

Haha I read that in Marks voice

He did a good coaching job. They had 17 turnovers. They know they should do better. They should keep him and trade Ben.

Man if it’s your 15th game 7 coaching... like get it done man

Look at me when i am talking to you Ben Simmons 😂😂

exactly

That's why I was so perplexed when he got that extension. He hasn't shown any improvement since he came to the league, and they extended him...

Exactly

Yep, there’s no need to improve. He’s getting paid on potential, he doesn’t need to improve. He’s set for life.

Good point! Andrew Wiggins from the wolves got big contract also had no reason to improve on his game! There all working on improving video games not there own skills ,

He's right though I'm not defending ben but what Phila did was not right. I'mma bucks fan and I dont see it this happening in Milwaukee Bud would never.

Is it something wrong with the culture of the team? Markelle Fultz got the yips, and now Ben Simmons can't take a shot? Besides that one guy who wouldn't fly on planes, and even that didn't affect his on-court performance, I don't remember the last time I saw a guy in the NBA struggle so hard mentally to the point where he doesn't even look like he belongs on a professional basketball court.

@@Alexander_Grant I agree with both points. He needs a sports therapist and there is prob something wrong with the culture of the team. Look at least year with Doc Rivers and the Clips. Kenny started to go there about a coach taking away your confidence. That's 100% true. I'd say the coach is where a big part of your problem is.

@@crazeegrlproductions By no means do I think Doc is a good coach, but he wasn't coaching when Markelle Fultz had his problems. I'm wondering what the constant is between Fultz and Simmons. So maybe someone in the front office is putting unnecessary pressure on them, or maybe the whole Philly sports atmosphere. It's just odd the last two players with serious mental blocks to their game happened in Philly. 100 percent he needs a sports therapist though. Not a huge fan of the 76ers, but I always root for the LSU guys. Even though he didn't really do much for us when he was down here, I'd really like to see him have more success in the NBA.

@@Alexander_Grant idk if its the culture. Tobias harris was being torn apart this offseason and he bounced back with a near all star season, improving in literally svery aspect of his game. Joel turned into an MVP candidate over the years despite all his setbacks. I think it's just the weak mentality of ben and fultz. Maybe they couldnt take the criticism but thats more their problem imo

@SelfMade 128 Ben is afraid to shoot because he can't shoot. He can't shoot mid-range shots and if he attempts shots at the basket, he is going to get fouled and he can't make his free throws. He needs to change the mechanics of his shot and then he will be able to shoot better, especially from the free throw line. For example, Lonzo changed his shot and he improved significantly.

Ben is LAZY!!! 6ft10 waste of space wannabe BMOC. Shaq wanted to play PG too - his coaches knew better!!

did u just compare shaq to ben simmons...

This didn’t age well. Harden (somehow) eclipsed Simmons 😂😂😂

He's probably Right handed anyways.

@@OEThe11 yeah he is naturally a right handed player

Who cares which hand, just shoot!

@@369pendulum yeah you might just get lucky

Your logic is flawed. You assume he'd shoot the ball at all.

I disagree, A coach can definitely give you confidence, and also deflate you

Dennis Rodman used to be a scorer in college though, he changed his game once he got in the league

Is that really a shock? Rodman was a beast

Even Giannis has started taking three-point shots. You don't even have to excel at it, just take the shots; doesn't matter at this point if you make or miss.

That’s when you know your at rock bottom

He's gonna be working with Chris Dudley this summer on his shooting.

Shaq is also right… where is Simmons’ aggression? competitiveness… tenacity.. heart?? What is there to fear with a contract like that?

If he wasn't 6'10 I doubt he would be in the league. None the less he won at life, became a millionaire and if he were to get cut today im sure he would be set for the rest of his life

@@Ben-xg7ig i doubt it. If his mindset is only about enjoying "celebrity life" rather than improving his game and if he gets cut off today, he'd be bankrupt after a couple of years.

Lol!!!!! Magic would eat dude for lunch. Magic was a terrible shooter generally but when game time was on line he was BEST EVER and wasn’t dishing on a gimme.

It's all mental ... Ben's looking like he's done with being in Philly. He doesn't want to be there.

Well kenny doesnt make sense all the time anyway..and maybe this is ben simmons selling the game and indirectly asking to be traded to LAL to join with his klutch sports guys..

@@kelvinrucks1556 that makes sense because Simmons clearly has elite talent and can dominate if he wants to.

Chuck isn’t wrong, but Shaq had the best answer to me. It’s not just shooting, he’s not aggressive at all and that’s the main problem

Excellent point

He shot the ball in highschool & college lol

It's not from a lack of practice. It's from a lack of mental toughness, will and confidence.

his dad played professional ball in australia, ben would have had access to a gym 24/7 and access to some of the best coaches in the country. i too cannot fathom how he got so far without being able to shoot!! SMH!

He needs to take accountability for not being able to shoot....

I just dont understand how someone gets into basketball at young age and doesnt shoot the ball, its literally the whole point of the game and the very first thing you learn after dribbling maybe... its mind-boggling..

The difference between them is that the Joe Harris thing seems to be a mental playoff block. Ben Simmons.....this is who he is. He's never been able to shoot the basketball

@@eckesg2 yeah bcz hes shooting with his off hand his whole life. No amount of training will make him good. He has to switch back to his right hand for shooting
