OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers Are Taking Their Talents To The Start Of The Season

[Jack Straw]

Simmons absolutely, positively needs to become more active and involved when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands.

 

[Jtown]

That and the inbound look to Butler.

yes good inbounds. but a pg has much more responsibility than that. Passing does not make a pg. Control of the offense does. Terrible pass to jj which got stolen. The prveious game he made a terrible pass to jj who was forced out of bounds. There is a theme in crunch time that happens with simmons. A player can shoot, pass, or dribble. Simmons picks up his dribble 40 feet from the bucket and is in pass mode, he is so quick to get the ball out of his hands that now the half court offense responsibilities falls on another player. A pg only picks up his dribble, or makes a pass in crunch time when it is the right offense set to get the shot the team wants.

i had a coach , who conveniently was also markelle fultz's coach, who took me out of a game for picking up my dribble 40 feet from the bucket. I soon learned that is a pretty passive way to play offense.

Also Brett Brown almost killed ya with that shitty play call of “give it to JJ”. Ben did a horrible job staring at JJ trying to get it to him.

They need to devise set plays for Kendall Jenner and have her run around naked on the court so he follows her around

He has to find his place on the team. Embiid and Butler are there already, so now Simmons needs to figure out how he fits in.

He doesn't. The nba is about iso perimeter scoring, pick and roll and catch and shoot 3 point shooters. If you are not one of those 3 you aren't scoring in this league.

there is no offensive set in the world which is designed to get jj the ball 40 feet from the bucket, to allow him to beat his man off the dribble.

I would say yea but it wasn’t only Simmons fault there. JJ checked back towards Simmons who stopped and hesitated before turning it over. There was space there for Simmons to take if farther up but JJ cut back too quickly.

Again though the other big issue is that Brett has the exact same plan each game. Down or tied, give it to JJ first so he can hit a 3. I dont mind it but not every single damn game that the scores are that close.

because jj is a limited player. JJ is a great player to set screens for, set a pick and roll for, and kickout too. he is not the guy i want handling the ball 40 feet from the bucket, and if i know this so should the floor general.
