Ben Simmons' confidence looks completely gone. It's hard to blame just one player when a playoff series goes awry, but Simmons' inability to make free throws and his unwillingness to shoot in crunch time (he didn't attempt a field goal in the fourth quarter of the 76ers final four games against Atlanta) were big factors in Philadelphia's disappointing finish. Now the 76ers will come to a crossroads, which Patrick Reusse and I talked about on Monday's Daily Delivery podcast. It's hard to come back from the place Simmons is at right now, particularly when other key stakeholders don't seem to have his back.
