Ben Simmons

There's still a long way to go in the NBA playoffs, but the first round has provided clarity on several teams – and players

Brett Brown didn’t hold his players accountable, Jared Greenberg says, and it likely cost him his job as 76ers head coach

A lot of NBA players are not built for the grit of Philadelphia, Bonzi Wells says, and Joel Embiid might be one of them

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers, who are without Ben Simmons, sure could use Jimmy Butler right now

Celtics radio voice Sean Grande says “you would have to go back decades” to find an Eastern Conference team with a more difficult path to the NBA Finals

Charles Barkley is bullish on Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers, but Zach Gelb has reservations – a lot of them

The 76ers should be one of the best teams in the East this season

Joel Embiid could be Tim Duncan, Marcus Hayes says, but he isn't willing to sacrifice

The greatest ability is availability, Ben Golliver says, and Joel Embiid's game has been absent for much of the Toronto series

Gasol is a great defender and passer, Paul Jones says, but he needs to score more if the Raptors hope to win the series
