Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 2706863, member: 1001"] After the top group (Simmons, Embiid, Brown, Horford) the nod of the supporting casts is close but I give the nod to Philly. Horford has been great, I love Tatum and thought he should have been the top pick in the draft. Ainge got that one right. Rozier and Smart are so inconsistent. For as great as Rozier is at home, he just shot 27% in the MIL series on the road. I think some fans are getting a little carried away with him, even heard some non-Boston sports talk radio call him the NBA's newest star. Redick doesn't create his own offense but he's still an underrated player by most folks. Belinelli has been great. Elyasova, Saric and RoCo are perfect players to surround Simmons with. Size, solid defenders, shooting but as people have mentioned, they aren't overly athletic. The big thing with Philly is that Simmons is much more important to their offense than any one piece on Boston (obviously, since they're down friggin Kyrie and Hayward). If Boston defends the three-point line well throughout the series this is gonna be a war for Philly. [/QUOTE]
