Georges Niang said he drove into the paint and lost the ball early in the game. After that, James Harden yelled at him and said “put up 10 3s. That’s what you do.” Niang ended up taking 10 triples and he made 5 of them. #Sixers

Ok listen, I get it. The dude passed up an open dunk and that’s bad and inexcusable. However, the Sixers are really missing his defense and his ability to push the ball in transition and get guys open looks. They’re a better team with Ben Simmons. There’s no question about that.
