Binjamin Simmons has been on Fire the past six weeks

He’s insane

Something clicked, he’s a different dude out there. He even said himself, he just kind of realized no one can stop him when he drives and finishes hard. He’s not doing that weird drive hard but then flip some weird falling away from the basket hookshot crap anymore

Aggressive Ben every game and he’s hitting his FTs, it’s a thing of beauty

Nothing has clicked until the dude starts shooting consistently. Like, he's playing well now, but that style is not as effective in the playoffs against consistently better competition.

From The Athletic:

• Simmons and Embiid, no Horford (753 possessions): 117.4 points per 100 possessions (94th percentile)
• Simmons, Embiid and Horford (908 possessions): 99.3 points per 100 possessions (3rd percentile)

Brett brown mentioned this as part of what he said to Jorford

Paraphrasing: they’ve played a lot and the numbers ? The numbers are not good

His handle is finally good enough to do those drives

But you know what is effective in the playoffs? Being one of the best defenders in the NBA.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I agree, but is that all your expecting from him? Is that 76er team good enough to allow Ben Simmons to just have a good defensive night and nothing else? They're 14-8 when he scores 15 or less. 4-4 against other East conference playoff teams. 6-7 against all playoff teams.

I'm certainly not expecting him to start shooting jump shots frequently. But he puts up 16/8/8 every night, leads the league in steals, can defend the best players in the league (except Giannis), and is one of the most fun players in the NBA to watch, so I guess I'm just more of a glass half full guy.

The sorta vital stat he omitted: GSW is winless since the Wiggins trade, 0-4

Unrelated: Common is a pretty good basketball player, he had some handles and a couple nice cuts to the bucket

What would your guys awards look like at the break? I know y'all favor Clarke over Morant for ROTY...

Think Nurse deserves consideration for COTY.

If the Raptors finish the season as the 2nd seed, Nurse has to get COTY.

Also Lebron should be in the running for COTY as well. He’s done a great job with the lakers

Kerr’s coach of the year award should be rescinded

BWV
Feb 24, 2005


and then he can finally join the ranks of great Raptor COTYs like Dwane Casey and Sam Mitchel.

If Nurse wins he would be the 3rd Raptor coach in the last 4 to win the award. If not for Jay Triano they would have had a 3 coach streak. Which in a weird way is more a marker of instability or failure than anything else.
