Simmons makes all defensive first team the same day he removed from the game with it hanging in the balance. Not clutch and not an offensive necessity for his team.
I’m not a Simmons fluffer but they needed a 3 to tie, so they naturally had 5 guys on the court that could hit a 3. Could you imagine a scenario where the Hawks just backed right off Ben to leave him wide open while the Hawks locked down on everyone else and Ben was forced to shooting the 3. Rivers would’ve been heaped on big time.

The Nets come back to win behind a huge performance from KD.
that is quite the stat line
-
@mariner4life He played every single minute too.
-
@act-crusader thats my point. Their second superstar is no good when it counts.

That was some effort from KD. I avoided the score all day to watch that, and it certainly didn't disappoint.
The stats obviously say a lot, but they just don't capture his D. Amazing.
That was an all-time performance, especially when you factor in Hardens suckiness, Kyries absence , and the overall series score.
J Green a huge help obvs!

It was a phenomenal performance. They were getting smashed. Joe Harris couldn’t hit the side of a barn door. Harden had a “triple single” (shout out to Sir Charles) and played matador defence, Brown wasn’t at his active best.
KD went a stretch where he was just clutch shot after clutch shot. The Bucks were tough but KD just had that look in the 2nd half where he was not going to let the Nets lose. Jeff Green and Blake provided very good support.
KD played the whole game, but Giannis and Middleton also played big minutes. Both teams basically used 7 guys.
Will be interesting to see how the Bucks respond. They’re are a well rounded team, but there are chinks there in how they defend KD down the stretch.

Many a good player, even All-Star’s have been strategically subbed out for a final play for both offence or defence (Curry, Harden, Shaq, Dwight Howard (when he was good) etc). It’s the first time I actually recall it happening with Simmons to be honest

LaMelo wins RoY
Illawarra to NBA RoY in 12 months is some sort of career trajectory

@canefan I think this too. But who.
Maybe Chauncey Billups? Seems to be a name that comes up. He was a tough player

Apparently he's sniffing around the Bucks for when they can Bud
