Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway. [Reply]

I've never been one to question someone's "effort" (like everyone sitting on their couch loves to do), but to be so bad at shooting that you won't even attempt a shot is unheard of. Its not instinctual, its one of the few sports skills that can be developed to a good level with practice. [Reply]

So much of it is mental. Once that doubt creeps into your head, it puts a lid on that hoop. [Reply]

It would be like a being a QB and refusing to throw a pass. [Reply]

Nah, he does lots of other things really well. No shortage of point guards and defensive specialists who can't shoot. Simmons does a lot of other things really really well. Especially at his height.
Can't build around a qb who can't pass. Plenty you can do to build around simmons [Reply]

He would fit perfectly in the 90’s but he is worthless/liability in this 3 pt era. I would trade him in a heartbeat [Reply]
