Simmons just passed up a dunk because he was afraid he might get fouled.

Hawks back way off him, daring him to shoot 10-footers.

Supermax contract for a tall Derrick Wilson.

Clippers. Sixers. Maybe Doc is the problem.

Because the 6ers had so much success before Doc arrived.

Maybe it’s the fact that their team is built around a guy with a 70 year old body and a point guard who is scared to shoot the ball.

How do nba playoff refs miss such a blatant travel as Morton who clearly landed from his jump before shooting?

Seriously, what do you do about Simmons? I guess you trade him to a bad team, along with draft picks, just to unload the contract.

Sixers are effed. Time to re-start The Process.

BTW, this means the NBA playoffs have no Juan, no Wes, no Jimmy, no Markus, no D-Wade and no Rivers.

Jae is the Last Warrior Standing!

Yes. Holiday on Trae Young will be fun to watch. But I think this sets up very well for the Bucks.

Simmons for CJ McCollum and others?  I think he could actually work with Dame.  They could use his defensive help

No. And with very few exceptions, Khris Middleton is not Seth Curry on defense.

This seems like a series the Bucks should win.  It's certainly a great opportunity. 

Omg Ben Simmons took a total of 3 shots in 7 Games during the 4th Q.  Incredible stat.

Atlanta, unlike Philly, can spread you out and shoot it from deep. They can also get out and run in transition. This is a worse matchup for the Bucks, as Philly would not be able to expose Brook in the pick and roll like Trae will. But Atlanta isn’t as good defensively and if the Bucks just play decent they should win this thing in 6 or less. They’re the better team. Just have to execute.

Agree about the ECF setting up very well for the Bucks, a much better all-around team. I'll say Milwaukee in 5.

And I like that trade idea ... though again, I'm guessing the Sixers would have to give up a ton just to move Simmons.

Just saw a stat on the postgame show:

Ben Simmons -- the starting PG on a team that fancied themselves as legit title contenders, one of the two faces of the franchise, a guy on a supermax contract -- made 3 shots in the fourth quarter in the 7-game series. Even more damning: He took zero fourth-quarter shots in the last 4 games. That's right, the "star" PG went 0-for-0 in the fourth quarter of four playoff games!

Astounding stat.  Was Doc asked about it?  Why would he even play in the 4Q if he refused to shoot the ball?

Jojo didn't sound happy.  He made a lot of excuses frankly.  I haven't watched Simmons all that much but I think he should probably play the 4.

I didn't see Rivers' postgame interview. But based on a question that was asked of Simmons (which I saw on the TNT show), it sounds like Rivers said he and Simmons had a lot of work to do before next season.

I don't think Simmons does enough dirty work to play the 4 ... and he sure as shyte ain't a stretch-4! He makes Giannis look like KD!

Embiid, for all of his shooting, was not great tonight. 8 TOs are inexcusable. But he deserves better than his current supporting cast.

I think Atlanta is capable of going bananas from distance.  The Bucks need to keep Trae off the FT line.  I definitely think Milwaukee is the favorite but hopefully they don't settle and Giannis attacks with ferocity but intelligence.  I don't see a lot of bodies on AtL that can stop him.
