Big Shot Ben?
Over the entire off-season, there have been videos, tweets, and speculations all regarding Simmons’ much-improved shooting. Then, the pre-season came and Simmons blew up the internet when he made the first 3-pointer of his NBA career.
Simmons is heading into the season with quite a bit of pressure. Their season will depend on how exactly he will deal with that pressure, especially in the playoffs. There are two possibilities as to how things will go though.
There is the instance where he scores one point in a playoff game due to “overthinking the plays” or there is the instance where he can score 31 points in a playoff game. This will be the deciding factor in whether they succeed or fail, which Ben Simmons they get on a regular basis and in the biggest moments.
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the two teams that you can certainly say are better than the Miami Heat. There is no scenario where the Heat will do better than them in the regular season, however, this just means we might get a rematch in the playoffs.
Perhaps, a rematch in the Conference semi-finals or even the Conference finals? Either way, the Philadelphia 76ers should be there, or finish very close. It is just up to the Miami Heat to meet them there.
