Yep.

He’s mentally done.

I don't judge anyone who likes this HS petty **** going on in this Nets game.....but it's not enjoyable to me. It's nothing but Philly players *****ing and moaning and trying way too hard to clown Ben....dude really lives rent free in their head.

Top it off with poor officiating as usual and what you have a **** show.

Ben had an open shot and passed to Curry for a contested three

In what capacity?

Basketball made him popular. Now basketball has made him a laughing stock. Media is partly responsible too. Hope he's handling it ok. Internet + media = vicious combo at times.

Not tooting my own horn here… but I know Ben personally when he was in Australia growing up and his dad…. He was such a quiet nice kid and was really humble and kind to everyone..

Then he got to the NBA and immediately flipped the switch to “I’m so great and amazing and everyone else says so” with his “Yes” people around him….

Then he’s been brought back down to earth, mentally.

He’s done.

Simmons looks scared of his own shadow

For real. Any bum that averages 28mpg and only takes 6FGA/game is going to get 6apg when they play with Durant and Irving.

Simmons with 1 shot attempt at half. Really trying to show he doesn’t give a damn. I think that is his endgame. No way he actually believes he is playing the right way. He is out there to cash a paycheck and nothing more and he knows it.

I’d be permanently benching Simmons if I was the Nets

Ben Simmons is like a real life victim from Space Jam. On Venus, there's some 6'10 dude averaging 87/30/30.

I mean Ben deserves it for being an arrogant person and the way he handled his trade demands, using "mental health " as a cop out. Philly was more than patient with Simmons crap, now the young socialite is getting rained on his parade. He built his own grave. Now he's essentially the worst shooter in NBA history at his current form which is why he refuses to get fouled.

azcatz11 · Post #115 » by **azcatz11** » Thu Jan 26, 2023 1:59 am

They need to force him to shoot. I don’t care if he shoots 20% from 3. That will be enough to space the floor. He can’t play next to Clayton

And the nerve to display a smirk at the end of the half. Like does he think he's winning the matchup or that he's anywhere near as good as Embiid? 0pts 3rbs 2asts and 3PFs. SMH

That’s the thing, I think if he was at least somewhat likeable, I think he’d have much support. It’s the constant smugness and the “I’m above all you peasants anyway” attitude that has people mocking him constantly.

SGA with 26 at half.
