Ben Simmons

[crudebar]

Managed to start the game and not score a single point in 26 min.

Went from not shooting 3s to just plane not shooting at all...

He did some other stuff well like 9 rebounds and 13 assists....but obviously Nets pulled him the last 5 min because they were down and needed a guy that would actually shoot.

His flaws are very magnified when you take KD off the court

He's a nice defensive anchor when KD/Kyrie can get you 60, their role players have been playing well also. But now with KD out, could be a lot of games like tonight

At least with KD there, he gets enough open opportunities near the bucket that he actually isn't afraid to shoot

 

[HacheMan]

Was once compared to lebron lol

What a piece of trash who literally quit

 

[MagiCap]

The question is why are they still paying him all of that money.

 

[crudebar]

He is shooting 41 percent from the free throw line. He has to be the most miserable shooter this league has ever seen.

At 6'10" and his talent you have to literally be actively trying to be this bad.

 

[crudebar]

Remember when Philly was all excited to pair Embiid with Simmons and Fultz.

Could you imagine the brick-fest with pairing up the latter of those three....

Isn't he a Big 3 mega star?

Isn't he a Big 3 mega star?

That's what Philly & Brooklyn thought & sought

 

[crudebar]

Granted, I am pissed because I had him on my daily fantasy team last night and if he even drops 5 points I take the 5 person league and win around 4k...but anyways...

The reason he got only 26 min was because he is one of the most foul prone players in the league----4th in the league per minutes played....had 5 fouls last night in just 26 min.

Then sits last 5 minutes because he can't score. 6'10" no Durant and he takes 3 shots...haha

 

[crudebar]

If shooting a basketball scares you then what doesn't scare you?

I mean how does he even drive a car? Haha

Credit to him though...makes 35 million this year and the object of his sport scares the shit out of him.

Last night again passed up a lay up to instead throw ball out of bounds.

Think Brooklyn views him more as someone who can be Draymond Green

To their credit it’s been working this year when healthy

When he shoots FTs he looks like a guy at the fair shooting a ball that is larger than the basket.

he has scored 10 points in his last 90 plus minutes on the court. Has made something like 1 of his last 14 fts.

He does get assists because he looks to get rid of the ball as soon as it touches his hands. Brooklyn has started booing him the same as in philly. At lest last night they were...

It was funny watching him go for a lay-up and the defenders back off and he then tries to pass through 2 of them instead of just laying it up. What a mental case.

Then the whole after game "i need to be more aggressive." Really you just now realizing that...That hasn't occurred to you in the last 2.5 years? Truthfully he can't be more aggressive because he is scared of the basket.

It's really a shame because he is fun to watch, except the fact he can't shoot. Worse off for him , this is the golden age of shooting where offense is king and everybody on the court can shoot. I'm a Sixers fan and I miss watching him push the ball up the floor. It's great to watch. Watching Harden slog the ball up the court is painful. They are like polar opposites, Ben can do it all physically just no scoring skills, Harden has all the scoring skill in the world but has lost all his speed and can't get past anyone anymore.

Only thing in common in they both eventually quit of choke in playoffs, at least in the past Harden will have a some good games or series before he eventually quits.

 

[crudebar]

Throws up another 0 point game as he leaves deciding he didn't feel like playing anymore last night.

Ben Simmons leaves Nets' loss to Pistons with zero points, knee soreness, and at least one frustrated coach

Jacque Vaughn appears to roll his eyes when discussing Simmons' early exit from the game

Have done it twice now---including last night.

Still waiting on him to get me a single point. Haha

 

[mercyben]

maybe a head case cud be has been this way way tooooo long many talk about him his minues -

 

[crudebar]

No Durant, No Irving---No problem for Gentle Ben. Takes 2 shots and scores 2 points in 26 minutes.

This is just beyond anything i have ever seen in basketball.

 

[tallsports]

He is a pussy.

Born with God given gifts but just never cared for them.
