Unhappy NBE's Worst - Wizards vs Sixers

My son calls me upstairs and asks me to watch the Wizards vs Sixers tonight, as the Wizards are pulling the "hack-a-shack" on Ben Simmons. I couldn't watch more than five minutes.

Down by 24, in the fourth, every time the Sixers in-bounded the ball, they fouled Simmons - whether he had the ball or not. About 2-3 seconds ran off the clock each time. They fouled him in twelve straight possessions. His FT percentage was atrocious as he alone shot ~ 20 FT's in the quarter! The Sixers had over 60 FT's in the game and both teams combined for 97 FT's! A long, long quarter......

Can you imagine being at the game? Reffing it? Where is the entertainment value? Was this the way basketball was intended to be played? What a joke! I walked away.

The Wizards came back to within three and eventually lost. Why did the Sixers coach keep even him in the game?

Cringe-worthy. I'm sure the pundits will have many comments tomorrow.
