Could we be overlooking something?

Nobody in this universe would value Ben Simmons over Embiid. 

Exactly why he should be getting the blame for not playing well in the second half of games they lost.

The better player should take the heat for losing the series, like you've been saying with Trae or does that not apply here?

Does that happen with the Hawks?

You said that the better player should take the blame for loses particularly in the playoffs but I'm not seeing that with Hawk fans even when it is obvious that their best player under performed against the Heat which has led to this chaos this off season

I'm asking does your logic apply here or not. Not talking about other Hawks fan. Talking about your logic. So do the best players get the blame like you say or not?

I agree if they under perform but you average over 30 ppg and over 10 rpg in a playoff series despite having a torn meniscus, I'll be willing to look else where

The Sixers can only blame themselves for losing to us but their best player Joel Embiid had 8 turnovers in game 6 and 8 turnovers in game 7 and pretty sure they still can't find Tobias Harris. They haven't seen him since game 3.

You all get so angry here lol. @Peoriabird made a good point about all of those players failing. Key thing is they failed together, Butler was the main piece for the #1 seed in the East this year.

It is easy to blame players, but ultimately it is the team to blame. Each year brings similar talent player wise, but we never know where they are mentally and how they feel about new teammates.

Funny.  I always joke around on here but find a way not to question other people's intelligence just because their opinion is different from mine.

Funny indeed.

Good god. No wonder you’re a Simmons fan, with such delicate sensibilities.

Did he make that point or did he blame Ben because Embiid scored a bunch of points in the first half of games, but went missing in the second half of their losses.

Again if you criticize Trae the same way then I will concede my position

I said Trae played terrible. So get to conceding.

But did you blame him for the team's performance in the playoffs or did you join the rest to blame others for not stepping up?

Really OT: Squd, I might be in LA for work soon.  If a strapping young black man shows up at your door with some nestle dibs, don't look at yer wife-friend funny.  It'll just be me showing up to tape our first podcast.
