I’m sitting in 2021 and that Simmons take aged like fine wine.

this ages well

Haven't seen anything like Simmons before. With a jumper he could become historic talent, without one he's a disadvantage

2 years later and ben simmons costed sixers a playoff game due to his shooting

Not so unpopular now…

Like if Dom's better than Mike Korzemba

It did made me mad that Simmons came into the season haven't practice on shooting like what did you practice on cuz there's only one glaring problem you have.

Who here after Ben Simmons played like straight ass in 2021

When you think about it Ben Simmons is the anti Isaiah Thomas

That 2-3-2 Finals format was some BS, glad they changed it back to the way it is now.

Remember when the 80's had only five Game 1st Rounds? Now, I don't want that.

Did y’all know dom has podcasts? Y’all should check em out they’re great

Bro I coulda predicted the Nets Sixers series to be close with absolutely no research into it

Our hardest series was against Philly . If Ben Simmons could shoot and space the floor, they woulda been that much harder to beat .

The finals fomat changed in 2014

76ers v. nets could go 7 games and i wouldn't be shocked if the nets win the series

Best example of the 2-3-2 favouring the away team was 2012. Miami won a game away and then won all 3 home games and beat the Thunder in 5. Miami actually had more home games that year despite OKC having the better record

I personally think that the Sixers will move on from Ben Simmons. If they don’t make it to the finals by 2023, he will be gone.

Unpopular opinion- The reg season never shakes out like the post-season because players sandbag a lot in the regular season. A lot of players are afraid to give their full effort and losing or ending up a talking point on some sports review program looking like a try-hard. Thats why so many players shrink these days in the playoffs, and teams surprise us in the post-season. The real stars of the year rise to top while the others that are used to fluctuating on the gas pedal find it hard to find any consistency because they think they can just turn it on at will. I'm not one of those people who think the modern nba is less talented. I notice a lot of pick-up basketball mentality and body-language in some of the "stars" these days.

I come from the future...

The 2-2-1-1-1 format makes it so that the home team always has more or equal home games as the away team. 2-3-2 can let the away tram have more home games (if they win 4-1)

Now bens almost got a triple double at halftime, give him more time.

They should definitely be open to it unless he has shown promise to add at least a midrange jumpshot

If you want to change the first round it should only be for the 1-8 seed and the 2-7 seed . You can make those game first to 3 . It's a gift for the top 2 seeds in the playoffs of their conference !

Unpopular opinion: if Zaza Pachulia takes Giannis (and then whoever he needs to take out) out, the Pistons will win the East.

if simmons never develops a jumper, it’ll be the biggest waste of talent/potential of all time

In the 2019 NBA, you cannot be a player without a serviceable jump-shot. Ben Simmons did not work on it clearly in this off-season. Atleast work on a mid range game and post game if you do not have long range shooting

I don't think it's that "Lebron isn't in the playoffs" that makes it more interesting, but that "Lebron's in the West". In the East, LeBron could possibly make the conference finals or at least the second, but in the West, I doubt he makes it past 6 games in the first round.

Giannis will always be MILES ahead of Simmons. Giannis the hardest worker in the game and is always working on his weaknesses. Giannis is gonna go down top 5, with at least 2 dpoys and 4 rings and 4 fmvps. Simmons with no jumper can't even be the best player on a champ team

brett brown acts like tobias harris wasn’t on pace to be an allstar, needs to get him involved and run some plays for him

Can you do a reaction/breakdown to the new Game of Zones episode? Would be fun to see how many Easter eggs you'd spot

The playoff look different without Leborn James

Embiids mechanics are pretty awful, especially on his landings

Embiid likes shooting more than getting in the post and Ben Simmons obviously hasn’t improved his shooting

I tried your myleague idea and it so fun and challenging

Ben Simmons needs an MJ type post fade-away. He’d be unguardable. He needs a great mid range shot to make up if his three point shot never is consistent. If he has a post game he’s deadly as hell.

I think bringing the first round back to a best of 5 series wouldn't be a bad idea

Unpopular opinion, Blazers will get to the western conference finals... Dang I dont even believe that

here after the Simmons trade

Me personally as a Celtics fan I'm super happy that LeBron isn't in the playoffs this year because game 6 ECF last year

I watch just about every video. I love your work, bro!!!

The point of having home court advantage is to have played more or at least as many home games as your opponent no matter how many games the series goes . With the regural format if the series ends in 5 or 7 the team with the advantage plays one more home game , and if it ends in 4 or 6 both teans play the same amount of hone games . With the 2-3-2 fornat if the series ends in 5 the team with the disadvantage actually plays one more home game .It may slightly increase the chances of an upset but if we wanna be objective it ' s unfair to the team who earbed hone court advantage during the regurak season .

I've been saying that for the longest time! Or the Sixers need to work on Joel Embiids 3 pointer and have Simmons play power forward like Draymond Green while of course Simmons keep working on his shooting. Sixers just need a actual 3 point shooting point guard, someone who can create his own shot and can catch and shoot.

Simmons is 22 years old and in his second season .... What the fuck are you talking about !

First round should be best of five. There’s room for upsets but still the better team should win, also people get warn out quick when they’re crushing a team

Either A) Shorten the first round to 5 games and go best of five Or B) Keep the best of 7 format but if a team goes up 3-0 the series ends Or C) Everyone mails in the last fucking month of the season so play the games every other damn day. Dudes are more than rested enough.

I literally just said the same thing not too long ago..ion think he’ll ever be able to shoot and that’ll hold them back every playoff run

9:44 Dom is The NBA Storyteller confirmed?

7:30 Embiid, Blake and maybe even PG. Bro I just cant help but feel like all this injuries wouldnt happen if the season was shorter. And like you were saying early in the video, it is like none of it matters, the regular season is completely different to the playoffs and sooo much more boring.

Dom do a vid on your NBA merch collection

All I gotta say to “you never see a crazy 7 game series in the first round” Drose Chicago Bulls vs big 3 celtics

First round used to be 5 games. They shouldn't change that.

fav channel mentioning another fav channel is the coolest thing

2012 heat vs OKC, OKC lost one home game GG 😂😂

If the Sixers decide Embiid being injury prone is too risky, I wonder if they’d try to trade him for AD

As far as the first round, maybe shorten it back to best of 5

The way the MLB does the playoffs is the first round is Best of 5. I feel like that could work in the NBA as well

Only 11 more wins until the Nets make the Finals

Only NBA-centric sports RU-vid channel to follow right here👌

Ben came out and showed why he’s up next💯

Simmons needs to stop being so damn stubborn man. He has to learn how to score in a variety of ways. Even just a consistent mid range. I believe he can be great but he’s only limiting himself

I would rather have 3 straight home games because I would be so relaxed and calm playing 2 away games, I have 2 chances to win a game then bam 3 home games, that's crazy.

Oof, some R&C intro music love it.

I think the playoffs are perfect just how the are. But if I were to change them, I think the first round should be 1-6 2-5 3-4 matchups with the 7-8 seeds having a best of 3 or maybe single elimination. This year the 7 seeds are good but normally they’re bad and it would be one-three decently entertaining games. Also, as Massachusetts guy I felt your pain in the first half of the Cs game. They had tyreke Evans looking like John wall. Our interior defense was garbage. I knew it would turn around because Indy was basically only scoring on fast breaks and plays without defense but still.

No that was game four

What are your camera settings? I like it a lot more than the standard 2k cam

Name a team that won a title with a perimeter player that can't shoot beyond 10 ft. I'll wait

Well, if the first round was just 1 game then the Sixers and the Raptors just got knocked out. The Warriors could have been upset by the Clippers if game 2 happened on game 1.

Me and a friend of mine just had the playoffs being better without LeBron and I agree 100 percent. It feels like we're finally getting a newer NBA feel (outside the Warriors obviously.)

I would like like the playoffs to be one game because it keeps the playoffs fresh and unpredictable, like be real for the past 3 years you could guess who would be in the finals, Lebron vs Warriors. If the whole playoff turn into 1 game, they could boost ticket sales and bring out the best of each player and I get what you’re saying about having teams like the jazz and magic in the finals but I think seeing a different team every year could bring more fans like March madness does.

Best of 5 first round should come back

If I’m the 76ers I would be looking to trade him and if we don’t get no offer I would tell him he needs to learn how to shoot or get some sort of a jump shot and if he doesn’t improve and we are s other 2nd round out I would trade him no matter what

"someone on his team". Looks in butlers direction

Embiid technically didn’t have health problems last year related to his current and past issues , he had an eye injury last season without that freakish accident he would’ve been 100% healthy the whole year

"Any team can beat any team on any given night". Sorry but no, that's not how it works, in fact, the NBA is one of the most easily predictable major sporting leagues in the world

For some reason the trade Ben opinion is popular on hardwood amino

Is Boingvert also good for Volleyball Players?

I’m a Sixers fan and you really can’t avoid the idea of trading Simmons until he improves his offense.

Ben Simmons balled the fuck out today

Sixers need brown to go before they move on from Simmons. They have an aggressive gm so that’s good.

I was laughing like Emperor Palpatine watching cocky Embid lose.

FINALLY! Been saying that since AllStar break. He is such a liability for them. And his attitude or work ethic sucks! He doesnt want to be improve whatsoever, he is satisfied, he is just potential. Look at Giannis work ethic in comparision.

Anyone saw this while watching game 2 😆🤣🤣🤣

In Soccer there is a rule like one game you play at home and the second game at their home and that would be exciting. Everybody has a chance to win that way

Would you take Giannis, or, Simmons Embiid and Buter? Personally id take Giannis over all 3 combined

Here after a couple of days Ben Simmons heading to the Nets for James Harden they didn’t no 3nD because they kept Maxey, Thybulle, Harris tbh Ya the Bucks just previously won but they have some problems now with KD and Embiid getting upgrades to their teams

I realized that y’all never give players time to actually learn, take this for example. -Giannis was never good his first couple seasons but he started improving -Lebron never developed a good jumper until like mid career -Blake Griffin was always dunking until he started getting a consistent mid range -AD really wasn’t shooting threes -Cousins wasn’t really making threes -Hell Jimmy Buckets wasn’t even the player he was a while back 😂 All I’m saying is these players showed glimpses and Simmons shows glimpses of his game, can make plays, can obviously get to the rim, and get you rebounds, the only thing stopping him is his shooting, and the thing is that he is too strong, like you gotta understand that he has to find a jumper that is comfortable for him... now if he gets traded and next thing you know he out here making shots for let’s say the Lakers, then now y’all messed up and then y’all over here mad at the front office cause they traded him, Ben is y’alls only pg who is actually really good at making plays... guy is athletic too. That’s his only downfall that he can actually build up. Curry wasn’t always destined to be this great but he worked so give the guy some time he only been in the league for 3 seasons and really he is doing good, what matters is him actually trying to develop a jumper but if you want to eat technical, then what should really happen is that he develops a midrange game first, instead of shooting threes, gaining a post shot will open up opportunities for him and his teammates cause when he get on the post and they know he can score in the post then boom instant double teams or open looks for his mates. And then later on he gains a three point shot cause he isn’t Curry and his play style actually fits Philly...

I think the first round should be 5 games or a 3-0 lead is a sweep in all rounds

If the Trailblazers and 76ers get knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round would it be beneficial for them to trade Dame for Ben?

1st rd should def be best of 5. I wouldn't be opposed to the 2nd rd being best of 5 either. It used to be that way back in the day amd there weren't that many upsets. A few more for intrigue tho

Unpopular opinion, Toronto will go to the finals if they go against the bucks

I completely disagree about what you said about the 2-3-2. I do think it's worse than 2-2-1-1-1 but, because it's almost impossible for the weaker team to win that way. It's very hard to win 3 games in a row and the team without home court advantage will definitely drop a game

For the NBA Storyteller Video talking about Curry passing up the shot in 2016 against Kevin Love, can you please provide a link in either a response to this or in the description?

Clyde was giving buckets

How is he playing with Chris Paul on the '07 Cavs?

Every series would be interesting if they were 3-3-1 throughout the playoffs. I did really like the 2-3-2 format because if you did steal a home game from the higher seed your reward should be the ability to close out at home. Honestly if the NBA isn't going to move to the 1-16 seeding then maybe have the first round should be shortened or even dropping the 8 seed all together and giving the 1 a bye week

I think that the first round should be shorter not a one game series like 3 or 5 game series
