His podcast last night did exactly that. Not Durants fault he has to play against a historical defense. No blame whatsoever. Simmons maintains that he is still a top 10 all time player. I think I agree or he is that neighborhood, but the problem is that if you are a top 10 all time player you can have a bad game or maybe two, but if you have that lofty of a ranking you should be able to eventually score on anyone. Russillo gave him a tepid push back saying that Lebron got crushed for hanging a series like this vs Mavs in finals, Kobe had a few, vs Phoenix and a Finals, Magic chocked against Boston in 84, all the top players sans MJ, had a series like this and got excoriated, whereas this series disaster will fall upon “crazy” Kyrie, and “inept” Nash, as well as “selfish” Simmons now entering the debacle. Nothing will stick to Durant.
