dionysis e With a Jumpshot he could be LeBron if LeBron was lucky enough to play for a good organization from the start. It’s unfortunate how talent can be wasted so easily in the NBA
Best example of the 2-3-2 favouring the away team was 2012. Miami won a game away and then won all 3 home games and beat the Thunder in 5. Miami actually had more home games that year despite OKC having the better record
Also the 2004 Finals with the Pistons vs. the Lakers. Although the Pistons pretty much had their number throughout the whole series regardless of who was home, them playing the last 3 games in Detroit still played a part in them winning it.
It did made me mad that Simmons came into the season haven't practice on shooting like what did you practice on cuz there's only one glaring problem you have.
Charlie Taaffe you right -lazy -horrible shooter -way too tall for his position -1st pick of draft -never had to prove anything because hype was always there
@UCnCvLHKN3BclxiDJsSJqeeA Embiid has great skill even without his athleticism. Dwight only relied on his athleticism to be good and once it started to decline he had no basketball skills to fall back on.
Unpopular opinion- The reg season never shakes out like the post-season because players sandbag a lot in the regular season. A lot of players are afraid to give their full effort and losing or ending up a talking point on some sports review program looking like a try-hard. Thats why so many players shrink these days in the playoffs, and teams surprise us in the post-season. The real stars of the year rise to top while the others that are used to fluctuating on the gas pedal find it hard to find any consistency because they think they can just turn it on at will. I'm not one of those people who think the modern nba is less talented. I notice a lot of pick-up basketball mentality and body-language in some of the "stars" these days.
The 2-2-1-1-1 format makes it so that the home team always has more or equal home games as the away team. 2-3-2 can let the away tram have more home games (if they win 4-1)
If you want to change the first round it should only be for the 1-8 seed and the 2-7 seed . You can make those game first to 3 . It's a gift for the top 2 seeds in the playoffs of their conference !
SKCustomTags lol that's not a gift, higher seeds would rather a seven game series so there's less a chance of an upset. For example the magic would just need to win 1 of the next two games to beat Toronto. If u gave Toronto the option of changing it to a three games series they'd def say no
@@avatarlui9195 no it was 8th seed GSW that beat the 1st seed DAL in 2007. the 1st seed SEA is who was beated by the 8th seed DEN in 1994 (I think it was that year)
Wallace Grummit tbh, even if it’s a consistent mid range and he improves his free throw percentage then teams will be scared to even touch him when driving, if he gets a consistent 3 pt shot Atleast when left wide open then its game over
Conch Boy Animations yeah like if he even gets a respectable shot where people aren’t leaving him wide open anymore than his driving game will be unreal if players are forced to actually come out and respect his shot.
The point of having home court advantage is to have played more or at least as many home games as your opponent no matter how many games the series goes . With the regural format if the series ends in 5 or 7 the team with the advantage plays one more home game , and if it ends in 4 or 6 both teans play the same amount of hone games . With the 2-3-2 fornat if the series ends in 5 the team with the disadvantage actually plays one more home game .It may slightly increase the chances of an upset but if we wanna be objective it ' s unfair to the team who earbed hone court advantage during the regurak season .
In the 2019 NBA, you cannot be a player without a serviceable jump-shot. Ben Simmons did not work on it clearly in this off-season. Atleast work on a mid range game and post game if you do not have long range shooting
Giannis will always be MILES ahead of Simmons. Giannis the hardest worker in the game and is always working on his weaknesses. Giannis is gonna go down top 5, with at least 2 dpoys and 4 rings and 4 fmvps. Simmons with no jumper can't even be the best player on a champ team
@nabil chowdhury I'm simply pointing out that it's ridiculous to compare the two and if you're silly enough to do that at least factor in the age/experience difference.
Imagine if you switched Simmons for Kemba... Hell, what if you switched him for Lonzo? I mean, Lonzo isn't a great shooter, either, but he WILL shoot the damn ball
CPGoat #3 yeah it shows on the court, if sixers get bounced in the first round i wouldn’t be surprised if brown gets fired and monty williams takes his place, given that the lakers don’t scoop him up first.
I've been saying that for the longest time! Or the Sixers need to work on Joel Embiids 3 pointer and have Simmons play power forward like Draymond Green while of course Simmons keep working on his shooting. Sixers just need a actual 3 point shooting point guard, someone who can create his own shot and can catch and shoot.
insert diss I know I’m playing as the current Celtics roster with all the teams he said to add and I traded and got trae young and then Donovan Mitchell and in the draft Rj Barrett, tre Jones and taco fall but didn’t sign him then resigned kyric in free agent and some other person thst escapes my mind and had a record of 45-37 as 6th seed how u doing so far
Did Ben Simmons originally play point guard in college? He has the prototypical body type and skill set of a Small Forward. If the 76ers can get a better PG (what fultz was supposed to be) and move Simmons to the 3, his lack of a jumpshot shouldn't be that much of a problem at that position.
if this was 1985 that could work. But in 2019, un cant be a wing if u cant contribute offensively. He would have to completely retool his game to play solely off ball. And moving his position doesnt fix the floor spacing issues.
First round should be best of five. There’s room for upsets but still the better team should win, also people get warn out quick when they’re crushing a team
I don't think it's that "Lebron isn't in the playoffs" that makes it more interesting, but that "Lebron's in the West". In the East, LeBron could possibly make the conference finals or at least the second, but in the West, I doubt he makes it past 6 games in the first round.
O O simmons honestly hasn’t improved anything. all that’s happened is his rebounding and court vision improved naturally. side effect of the game. but it’s clear he basically hasn’t worked on shit
no embiid likea posting up more. The issue is that hes being triple teams everytimenhe touches the ball because Ben's man gets to help on him and leave been on the perimeter. That along with his poor stamina.
Ben Simmons needs an MJ type post fade-away. He’d be unguardable. He needs a great mid range shot to make up if his three point shot never is consistent. If he has a post game he’s deadly as hell.
i agree but they def need to wait until at least then. people forget how young he is and act rash. let the man develop ffs. giannis took years to get to the level hes at now, but we all expect every player to be at the top of their game in a year or two. its always been a problem with every young player thats hyped coming out of the draft.
7:30 Embiid, Blake and maybe even PG. Bro I just cant help but feel like all this injuries wouldnt happen if the season was shorter. And like you were saying early in the video, it is like none of it matters, the regular season is completely different to the playoffs and sooo much more boring.
Really the season needs to be more like a double round robin setup. 58 games of home and home vs every team in the league. You play everyone and now you seed from there and I feel like on average cutting down 24 game where a lot of players miss or sit could be used to save up for the playoffs. in
Corey Views tbh, cut the season down to Atleast around 60 games fr because although medicine etc is becoming better, with the way how fast paced the game is now, it won’t matter because it’ll lead to strain on the body
I won’t say ever be able to, it all comes down to attitude, Giannis is humble and works on his weaknesses whereas Simmons always been the best player on teams so now he needs to face facts and humble himself and work hard, literally all he needs to work on in the off season is free throws and shooting
Either A) Shorten the first round to 5 games and go best of five Or B) Keep the best of 7 format but if a team goes up 3-0 the series ends Or C) Everyone mails in the last fucking month of the season so play the games every other damn day. Dudes are more than rested enough.
I think the playoffs are perfect just how the are. But if I were to change them, I think the first round should be 1-6 2-5 3-4 matchups with the 7-8 seeds having a best of 3 or maybe single elimination. This year the 7 seeds are good but normally they’re bad and it would be one-three decently entertaining games. Also, as Massachusetts guy I felt your pain in the first half of the Cs game. They had tyreke Evans looking like John wall. Our interior defense was garbage. I knew it would turn around because Indy was basically only scoring on fast breaks and plays without defense but still.
I would rather have 3 straight home games because I would be so relaxed and calm playing 2 away games, I have 2 chances to win a game then bam 3 home games, that's crazy.
I would like like the playoffs to be one game because it keeps the playoffs fresh and unpredictable, like be real for the past 3 years you could guess who would be in the finals, Lebron vs Warriors. If the whole playoff turn into 1 game, they could boost ticket sales and bring out the best of each player and I get what you’re saying about having teams like the jazz and magic in the finals but I think seeing a different team every year could bring more fans like March madness does.
lidicky ball great point, i hadn’t considered wiggins. i think right now simmons has him because of this past allstar selection. i still think wiggins has been a solid scorer in the league, just not a star or someone to build a franchise around which is what he was billed to be coming out of college and especially high school. right now he’s a bigger disappointment, but teams aren’t gameplanning to isolate and abuse his weaknesses like they are simmons.
I forgot what year it was I think it was 2014 when almost every team in the first round went into game 7s. And then there was the clippers vs Spurs in 2015 which I found exciting
I think the NBA should go back to the 2-3-2 format. Especially since it’s only one playoff series compared to the entire playoffs, plus it’s the BIGGEST series at that. The championship round should hold a distinction over every other round. And you also hit it on the head, the team with home court has the final two games at home, the whole point of having an advantage is so the final game is played on your turf. That’s just me tho, keep up the work your videos are great
Well, if the first round was just 1 game then the Sixers and the Raptors just got knocked out. The Warriors could have been upset by the Clippers if game 2 happened on game 1.
Me and a friend of mine just had the playoffs being better without LeBron and I agree 100 percent. It feels like we're finally getting a newer NBA feel (outside the Warriors obviously.)
If I’m the 76ers I would be looking to trade him and if we don’t get no offer I would tell him he needs to learn how to shoot or get some sort of a jump shot and if he doesn’t improve and we are s other 2nd round out I would trade him no matter what
Simmons needs to stop being so damn stubborn man. He has to learn how to score in a variety of ways. Even just a consistent mid range. I believe he can be great but he’s only limiting himself
Shawn Golmes It’s like the Andrew Wiggins problem. He has the talent he just doesn’t care. And it’s still fairly early in his career, had Ben been in his 5th season then yeah I can’t see him ever changing his game. He has to learn how to adapt, that’s the basic rule of surviving
Every series would be interesting if they were 3-3-1 throughout the playoffs. I did really like the 2-3-2 format because if you did steal a home game from the higher seed your reward should be the ability to close out at home. Honestly if the NBA isn't going to move to the 1-16 seeding then maybe have the first round should be shortened or even dropping the 8 seed all together and giving the 1 a bye week
@@timelessproductions7121 congrats you took a guy who can't stay healthy and a locker room killer. Meanwhile i have the most dominant player in basketball at age 24
FINALLY! Been saying that since AllStar break. He is such a liability for them. And his attitude or work ethic sucks! He doesnt want to be improve whatsoever, he is satisfied, he is just potential. Look at Giannis work ethic in comparision.
Here after a couple of days Ben Simmons heading to the Nets for James Harden they didn’t no 3nD because they kept Maxey, Thybulle, Harris tbh Ya the Bucks just previously won but they have some problems now with KD and Embiid getting upgrades to their teams
1st rd should def be best of 5. I wouldn't be opposed to the 2nd rd being best of 5 either. It used to be that way back in the day amd there weren't that many upsets. A few more for intrigue tho
I completely disagree about what you said about the 2-3-2. I do think it's worse than 2-2-1-1-1 but, because it's almost impossible for the weaker team to win that way. It's very hard to win 3 games in a row and the team without home court advantage will definitely drop a game
@jburckin I still disagree, in the scenario you described the lower seeded team needs to win two away games. In a balanced matchup winning three games in a row is HARD
see Ben Simmons needs to be surrounded by spot up Shooters like JJ Redick not players that need the ball to score like Jimmy Butler or Joel embiid, those players that needs the ball need somebody that, if they get stuck can create their own shot and Ben Simmons can't do that
Embiid technically didn’t have health problems last year related to his current and past issues , he had an eye injury last season without that freakish accident he would’ve been 100% healthy the whole year
Justin Last which perimeter player are you talking about? If you’re talking about Timmy, well you’re wrong cause he has hit a few threes in his career. Manu hit a ton of threes in his career. Even TP hit threes time to time so I honestly have no idea who your talking about

Andrew wiggins? Although ben would be up there
lidicky ball great point, i hadn’t considered wiggins. i think right now simmons has him because of this past allstar selection. i still think wiggins has been a solid scorer in the league, just not a star or someone to build a franchise around which is what he was billed to be coming out of college and especially high school. right now he’s a bigger disappointment, but teams aren’t gameplanning to isolate and abuse his weaknesses like they are simmons.
As far as the first round, maybe shorten it back to best of 5
Unpopular opinion, Blazers will get to the western conference finals...
Dang I dont even believe that
Nigga no
@@uglygod7930 my exact reaction
Hell yeah the Trailblazers are making the Conference Finals. I predicted this ages ago.
The way the MLB does the playoffs is the first round is Best of 5. I feel like that could work in the NBA as well
I swear it used to be like that. Am I imagining it?
Tom Baxendale in the 80s yh
Simmons needs to learn to shoot to save his career.
His career is fine.
First round used to be 5 games. They shouldn't change that.
TNL Spider Gang I said what I said
Get the bag dom but is it just me or nobody can increase there vert by 10 inches
Simmons is 22 years old and in his second season .... What the fuck are you talking about !
here after the Simmons trade
If the Sixers decide Embiid being injury prone is too risky, I wonder if they’d try to trade him for AD
What are your camera settings? I like it a lot more than the standard 2k cam
It's the OG 2k Low
I think he said in a video he has zoom all the way in
All I gotta say to “you never see a crazy 7 game series in the first round” Drose Chicago Bulls vs big 3 celtics
I forgot what year it was I think it was 2014 when almost every team in the first round went into game 7s. And then there was the clippers vs Spurs in 2015 which I found exciting
Dwight Howard has had one of the greatest prime year stretches in NBA history.
IHeartDana facts
no such things s a prime year. U mean peak year. Prime is an extended amount of seasons, not one in particular.
I think the NBA should go back to the 2-3-2 format. Especially since it’s only one playoff series compared to the entire playoffs, plus it’s the BIGGEST series at that. The championship round should hold a distinction over every other round. And you also hit it on the head, the team with home court has the final two games at home, the whole point of having an advantage is so the final game is played on your turf. That’s just me tho, keep up the work your videos are great
Nah 2-3-2 is unfair
Oof, some R&C intro music love it.
Well, if the first round was just 1 game then the Sixers and the Raptors just got knocked out. The Warriors could have been upset by the Clippers if game 2 happened on game 1.
Ben came out and showed why he’s up next💯
Only NBA-centric sports TH-cam channel to follow right here👌
Up on his second channel, that is.
Me and a friend of mine just had the playoffs being better without LeBron and I agree 100 percent. It feels like we're finally getting a newer NBA feel (outside the Warriors obviously.)
Nate McCoy either way the warriors are still going to the finals but the ratings will crash without lebron
@TNL Spider Gang exactly
If I’m the 76ers I would be looking to trade him and if we don’t get no offer I would tell him he needs to learn how to shoot or get some sort of a jump shot and if he doesn’t improve and we are s other 2nd round out I would trade him no matter what
Simmons needs to stop being so damn stubborn man. He has to learn how to score in a variety of ways. Even just a consistent mid range. I believe he can be great but he’s only limiting himself
Shawn Golmes It’s like the Andrew Wiggins problem. He has the talent he just doesn’t care. And it’s still fairly early in his career, had Ben been in his 5th season then yeah I can’t see him ever changing his game. He has to learn how to adapt, that’s the basic rule of surviving
Every series would be interesting if they were 3-3-1 throughout the playoffs. I did really like the 2-3-2 format because if you did steal a home game from the higher seed your reward should be the ability to close out at home.
Honestly if the NBA isn't going to move to the 1-16 seeding then maybe have the first round should be shortened or even dropping the 8 seed all together and giving the 1 a bye week
fav channel mentioning another fav channel is the coolest thing
Would you take Giannis, or, Simmons Embiid and Buter?
Personally id take Giannis over all 3 combined
David Janssen thats stupid
Id take just embiid and butler alone over giannis
@@timelessproductions7121 lol then you are dumb
@@timelessproductions7121 congrats you took a guy who can't stay healthy and a locker room killer. Meanwhile i have the most dominant player in basketball at age 24
David Janssen you are right
No that was game four
FINALLY! Been saying that since AllStar break. He is such a liability for them. And his attitude or work ethic sucks! He doesnt want to be improve whatsoever, he is satisfied, he is just potential. Look at Giannis work ethic in comparision.
The Muffin Man but Giannis couldn’t shoot either in his first 3 seasons it literally took him 4 season to remotely become a big name, probably 5
Only 11 more wins until the Nets make the Finals
Fat Fuck truee 11 for Orlando too
Best of 5 first round should come back
Noah Guyette True
For some reason the trade Ben opinion is popular on hardwood amino
Hardwood is cancer
I was laughing like Emperor Palpatine watching cocky Embid lose.
Chocolate Rain ur gay
u was laughing because he was. U can laugh at a injured embiid all u want. Keep that same energy when hes 100% and dropping 40 on you
@@TheIcemanthomas well I mean I don't play in the NBA... So he won't be dropping 40 on me... But hopefully they can beat the 6th seed Nets lol
"someone on his team". Looks in butlers direction
Here after a couple of days Ben Simmons heading to the Nets for James Harden they didn’t no 3nD because they kept Maxey, Thybulle, Harris tbh
Ya the Bucks just previously won but they have some problems now with KD and Embiid getting upgrades to their teams
1st rd should def be best of 5. I wouldn't be opposed to the 2nd rd being best of 5 either. It used to be that way back in the day amd there weren't that many upsets. A few more for intrigue tho
As a Sixers fan I agree. If you have a starting PG that can’t shoot, it will only hold your team back.
Kris Garland I thought you should’ve traded fultz and your picks for Kemba but I don’t know why they didn’t bite on it
Mr. Ulee I’m not sure either honestly. Maybe since Fultz was a top pick idk but that sucks
If the Trailblazers and 76ers get knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round would it be beneficial for them to trade Dame for Ben?
Dean simmons fuck no dame is their core and is way better than ben
I completely disagree about what you said about the 2-3-2. I do think it's worse than 2-2-1-1-1 but, because it's almost impossible for the weaker team to win that way. It's very hard to win 3 games in a row and the team without home court advantage will definitely drop a game
@jburckin I still disagree, in the scenario you described the lower seeded team needs to win two away games. In a balanced matchup winning three games in a row is HARD
I think that the first round should be shorter not a one game series like 3 or 5 game series
Nah that's wack
How is he playing with Chris Paul on the '07 Cavs?
Cause CP3 played for them bro.
I think the first round should be 5 games or a 3-0 lead is a sweep in all rounds
see Ben Simmons needs to be surrounded by spot up Shooters like JJ Redick not players that need the ball to score like Jimmy Butler or Joel embiid, those players that needs the ball need somebody that, if they get stuck can create their own shot and Ben Simmons can't do that
Maybe he should learn to.....
Anyone saw this while watching game 2 😆🤣🤣🤣
Sixers need brown to go before they move on from Simmons. They have an aggressive gm so that’s good.
Embiid technically didn’t have health problems last year related to his current and past issues , he had an eye injury last season without that freakish accident he would’ve been 100% healthy the whole year
Name a team that won a title with a perimeter player that can't shoot beyond 10 ft. I'll wait
@Justin Last lol Tim Duncan is a post player. I'm talking about guards and small forwards
Justin Last which perimeter player are you talking about? If you’re talking about Timmy, well you’re wrong cause he has hit a few threes in his career. Manu hit a ton of threes in his career. Even TP hit threes time to time so I honestly have no idea who your talking about
Ben Simmons balled the fuck out today
