Ten Hanger-
I always love the replies, you are top notch on basketball analysis, and you know I appreciate that. As far as Ben Simmons Vs. Donovan Mitchell, lets be real, if I'm starting a franchise today I'm picking Ben Simmons. My real issue is the whole "Rookie" debate. I know its not fair, but in my opinion when its a tie, it goes to the guy who hasn't been in the league already for a year. Simmons has gotten NBA level training, adjusted to the travel schedule, etc. for an entire year. Not fair to Ben, but thats just my opinion. Its funny because as insanely difficult as it is to determine who should win Rookie Of The Year, I can't even figure out who has had the better playoffs so far!
You make a really good point about Dwayne Casey coaching a DeRozanless team before you give him the boot. That is a really tough decision the GM is going to have to make. Its either Casey or DeMar, but one of them has to go. Can't just keep doing the same thing over and over every year, that team desperately needs something new.
I would also agree that out of any team that has ever been down 0-3, this may be the only time the more talented team was in that hole. The 76ers are talented, and if Boston loses Game 5 at home, that is a scary situation. I know Brad Stevens isn't on the court, but he kinda is! lol. Something tells me he's not going to let them lose 4 straight.
