So are we up big if Jojo, Dario, and Fultz are playing?

Is it me or does Ben need to learn how to go up strong at the hoop? Everything is going away from it or floating. Drive and dunk it on someone!

He was called for a couple of charges already so he's trying to be more nuanced with his drives.

I doubt anyone really touches him during practice so yeah its going to be something he has to learn...its something all young players have to learn. Lot of calls go uncalled and dudes are strong as ****.

But even on those i didnt feel like he was going to attack the rim.

He also needs to just pull the trigger when he shoots. His lone **** attempt...seems like he is aiming it in the air instead of just pulling the trigger.

Boxscore is bugged again. He really has 5 assists. They missed his first 2.

He hasn't hit a damn shot all night.

Seems like the boxscore on multiple websites have only credited Simmons with 3 assists. Weird.

They never counted his assist to Bayless on first possession of the game which was simply a pass into a jump shot, not sure how that couldn't have counted. Also give and go to McConnell could have been an assist. Should have 4 or 5.
