Rachel nicholes and the media still trying to cause problems between Embiid and Simmons. The narrative that they cant play together failed so theyre digging to find other things

That’s what they do. Until KD come back and Perk attacks him they have to reach for topics

@RootsAndEchoes but there was a game 7 and kawhi didn’t show up think about like this do you think lebron would have 14 pts and shoot 6-22 in a game. Idk what u don’t understand it’s not doc’s fault that his two best players didn’t show up lmao

@RootsAndEchoes and it’s funny bc Montrezl led the team in pts in game 7 with 20 so while shooting like 6-7 so what’s your excuse for that kawhi didnt show up and pandemic P did show up instead of pg13

@Random Gamer23 Yes it’s his fault if the Clippers didn’t win. It doesn’t mean his stars have been perfect, but he’s by far the 1st reason they lost. He has been awful, and the quality of the shots taken by the players, even the stars, depends on coaching too. Kawhi played great playoffs, he has a champion mentality so don’t want create unfair team, supersteams, he said no to LeBron and AD, while LeBron wanted to create the biggest superteam in history of sport. So yeah, he has a true excuse, because he takes risks and truly carries his team, he’s not joining Wade/Bosh, he’s not recruiting a top 5 player (like LeBrond did with AD), he’s not joining a 73 team wins (like KD did)…

@Random Gamer23 Yeah…Clearly basketball is not your thing at all…Harrell was a catastrophe for the Clippers all playoffs long, he killed them by his awful defense. But the only thing you know = the boxscore of Game 7. You can’t talk basketball, you can only talk boxscore (of one game)…

@RootsAndEchoes lebron would never shoot that bad in a game 7 when his team needs him he actually shows up and you could even say lebron becomes the coach of the team in the post season but kawhi could never do that

I’m a sixers fan I don’t think Ben is going to completely lock kyrie or harden up bc no one can but I do think he will force them to have a bad shooting night. I didn’t mention kd bc that man is just a Demi god when healthy no one is guarding period
dee see

@Random Gamer23 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I live in Houston I’ve watched Ben try n guard Harden for years but it should be a great battle
