Hawks scored as many points in the 4th quarter as they did in the entire first half. SeabassDebeste posted... i mean chris paul is pass-first rondo also played a pretty key role last season Yeah, but Paul can make key baskets on offense and even give you a big night shooting if you really need it (oh, and make free throws, which is another problem when Simmons is your ball handler in late game situations). I can't imagine a scenario where Ben Simmons just goes off and takes over a game on offense like Durant did last night, and you kind of need that sometimes from the #1 pick in the draft nowadays. Ultimately, the problem isn't necessarily that Simmons is pass-first. It's more that he's averse to shooting, and that becomes an issue when Embiid has been clearly gassed in the second half of the last two games. He needs Simmons to pick up the slack in those situations, and he just can't. --- http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq <cite>LeonhartFour posted [p:955113385] in NBA Postse...
