Shouldn't he get some easy points with the attention that KD and Kyrie get?

This dude used to get 16 points a game

He ain't shooting shit unless it's a easy lay up. I remember in a game against the Suns, Monty Williams had Aron Baynes defend Simmons. Baynes
defended Simmons by simply stepping back and daring him to drive. Ben scored single digits that game. Monty is an ex-assistant coach for the Sixers and knew Ben's weaknesses.
Ben will never change.

 

[Flawless]

Man, I have said the same thing.

He is doing exactly what he’s always been doing except he can’t get triple double no more, so all his bad shit is amplified.

Just like Harden always holding on to the ball until the last couple seconds to shoot

 

[BlackGoku]

see if the hornets can muster up that mega trade that talked about

or see if the pacers…. Eased their requirements for Heild and Mills

Naw...we good. Team looks good so far. We not bring him in there to bring down the locker room. Once LaMelo gets back, we should be even better.

If it was me, I would go to a 3 guard lineup, Terry, Lamelo and DSJ with Oubre and Nick Richards...bring PJ off the bench. Reason putting DSJ in the starting lineup is for his defense.

They playing better than expect with all things considering.

Bouknight garbage though. All that crying he was doing last year about not getting PT, he ain’t done shit since Melo been hurt.

It’s a 4 team deal, so y’all might not end up with him

Ben Simmons is amazing. He really found a way to to make it look like he gives a bit of a fuck while simultaneously not being on the court. Score a few points, foul out but definitely yell at the refs to make it look like you’re passionate.

Simmons would have to dunk on Jesus at this point to impress anybody...lol.

 

[geechiedan]

That's about right for someone who missed over a year of playing at a high level.

That would be interesting but considering market size is so important to the NBA, can the NBA survive a year in which both Los Angeles teams and both New York City teams are relegated and you have teams like the Souix Falls Skyforce and Maine Celtics playing in the "premier division"?

 

[M.H.C.]

As long as the worst teams get the best picks, tanking will always be a problem. For shits and giggles, I'd like to see them experiment with a lottery tournament.

I’m not sure if you got a chance to see the Nets play yet, but last night was my first time watching them this season. Simmons is damaged goods.

Whatever is going on in his mind isn’t going to be fixed. He gets plenty of touches and even brings the ball up court as a point guard. If he drives, he is 100% dishing.

BK needs him to be a threat offensively. They are not going to win with him on the court.



Yeah, man. That shit is painful to watch. He gets great position in the post and tosses it back out before he even lands on the ground from catching it.

It’s some of the craziest professional basketball shit I have ever seen.

BK trying to mask it with better ball movement which I saw flashes of, but close games can’t hide the issue anymore.

It's painfully glaring that just three games into the season, opponents already know how to defend it. We score in spite of Ben most of the time

 

[REDLINE]

Damn

 

[Lower9Nupe]

Ben Simmons will be fine by mid-season. Once they get Curry back and give him another shooter versus an isolation ballplayer like Durant and Irving he'll do better. He still isn't conditioned at this point and you can tell his rhythm is way off. Even so the assists will come. The rebounds will come. Everyone will still want to see him shoot but he can average what he averaged in the past by being an opportunistic scorer. However, playing with Durant and Irving is going to be hard as hell for him. I've watched all the games and they immediately get the ball in the 24 second count and never really look to pass which clearly says they ain't running plays at all for the other three spots on the floor.

Damn, they just played this on the TNT half time show
