Simmons’ ominous warning to Miami

“I’M not satisfied” — those are the three words of warning that will have Miami wary of Ben Simmons heading into Playoffs Game 2 tonight.

Simmons starred in his NBA Playoffs debut for Philadelphia, dropping a double-double as he led the 76ers to a commanding 130-103 victory.

The Australian sensation also provided 14 assists, the second most by a rookie in his maiden playoff match since the legendary Laker Magic Johnson, who provided 16.

Simmons may be in sizzling form, but the Melbourne-born guard is far from content.

This means danger for the Heat, who will be desperate to avoid a 0-2 deficit against the 76ers before the series moves to Miami.

Philadelphia co-managing partner Josh Harris revealed the franchise’s plan to retain coach Brett Brown on a longterm deal.

Brown’s contract expires at the end of next season, but Harris said the 76ers wanted to reward him for guiding the team to the post season for the first time in seven years.

It’s a remarkable effort from the former Sydney Kings mentor, who had just 75 wins in his first four seasons at the Sixers.

But largely on the back of Simmons and star centre Joel Embiid, Brown has led Philadelphia to third place in the Eastern Conference with a 52-30 record.

This season also included an NBA-best 16 straight end of season wins.

In other results, Australians Joe Ingles and Dante Exum couldn’t help Utah defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1.

Ingles finished with 13 points and Exum 10 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Thunder charged to a convincing 116-108 victory.

Paul George was brilliant for Oklahoma City, finishing with a game high 36 points.
