Like, you just can't even be on the floor in the final 5 minutes. Both Gobert and Simmons should have been benched in the 4th quarter. It's not just this game, I think Simmons gone 5 games without attempting a shot attempt in the 4th quarter.
Given the tight window for prepping regular season games, "Hack-a-Ben" is going to become a real part of every opponents strategy. At least until he gets a brain adjustment and starts hitting FTs.
There are comments about how PHI has enough blame for everyone, but when your main creator is passing out of open dunks, then some of the team problems come back to him.
