Ben Simmons was ruled OUT for Game 4 of the Nets/Celtics series with Boston up 3-0. That’s a bummer. Had he played, he could have become the first player in NBA history to be eliminated from the playoffs in two consecutive games.

We tried to be fair to Simmons during his Sixers tenure, which was tough. He did a lot of excellent things for the team, but never improved his offensive game and then forced a trade because he’s a soft crybaby quitter. Now it seems like the blue checkmarks, many of whom blamed Philadelphia fans for running him out of town, are now realizing this.

It’s funny to watch it all unfold. Sixers fans showed Ben a ton of support during the early part of his career. Yes, he was a polarizing player because of the offensive game/lack of shooting thing, but they were fair before they were ever unfair. When he asked out, a lot of doofus blue checkmarks blamed Philly fans for “running him out of town” or whatever that take was, and now they are realizing that Ben is a jabroni and it wasn’t anything that Philadelphia did to him.

Good morning.
