Dwight Howard and Ben Simmons are not a compatible duo...and Doc Rivers has finally acknowledged it

Doc Rivers said both the numbers and your eyes tell you Dwight Howard is better with the Sixers' second unit, which is why Mike Scott started tonight and Howard's time with Ben Simmons was minimal.

After the route of the Cavs last night, Sixers Head Coach Doc Rivers said something I found very intriguing. Per Noah Levick, of NBCSPhilly, Rivers discussed that his reserve center, Dwight Howard, both by the numbers and the eye test is better with his second unit, and that is why we didn’t see a ton of his minutes married with Ben Simmons’ last night.
