As a Nets fan, I do not understand how other Nets fans see Simmons as “improved” or “back to Philly Ben”. He’s the same as he was last year just with less mental roadblocks. I think the back injury he had has severely limited him and the Ben Simmons of past is likely gone

back like he never left

[–] OmerDe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s about consistency. He’s capable of much more

Did y’all say he was going to be good?

Need a bigger sample size before I can comment on Ben and the Nets as a team

Minimum viable product pace indeed

[–] DrTom@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Making big progress. 4 TOs down from 8 or whatever it was.

[–] Messigoat3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

WNBA IS ON! WHO CARES WHY NO GAME THREAD FOR THIS EPIC GAME 4

[–] SubZero_dot785@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s the same as he was last year just with less mental roadblocks

Because if he has less mental roadblocks he can improve a lot on last season.

hey guys if harden gets traded does that mean NETS WON THE TRADE?1

[–] onamonapizza@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This might be one of the most dysfunctional trades of all-time.

Somehow, both teams got hosed.

That person deserves more hate

[–] xc2215x@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is less brutal but not who he was on Philly.

[–] Tregoods@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Clean game he’s saving his energy for the next game

[–] champloojay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s a pretty good stat considering your options are Bridges, Dinwiddie, Cam or other shooters. Cause 7 AST is a total of 14-21 points that he got em for.

[–] Rkenne16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bizorro world Draymond.

[–] Nat_Feckbeard@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE IS

[–] V-Right_In_2-V@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn’t this Philly Ben? There’s a reason their fans burned his jersey lol

[–] PensiveinNJ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In fairness we did wait to burn them until he ghosted the team and demanded a trade.

[–] durmduke@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nets won the trade 🤣

[–] imminentjogger5@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back"

[–] ZigZagZoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because he is moving better, but this is how he played even in Philly, and he just has reduced athleticism with his back. Hopefully he continues to improve. Back injuries no joke and he has had previous issues.

[–] 416_Ghost@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But he hit that one fade away a couple of games ago....

Nets fans huffing that hopium.

[–] GI2020@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

its the back issues

Triple single

How many picks do you accept for Mikal

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How did this dude make it into the league? Genuine question.

[–] Padulsky21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Diary ass post

[–] tbloom117@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s preseason, so all I really care about is seeing his athleticism back. Not too concerned about stats, but he seems to be moving well and aggressive on both sides

[–] cletoreyes01@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because the hate got too much and now we're in for the reverse-circlejerk, if you've been in this sub for a while you should know this shit by now. Look at how Carmelo was viewed, look at what happened to Laker and clipper Russ.

[–] ColdBrik@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Day'Ron Sharpe looking real nice in that drop coverage tho 👌

[–] Scythe_Storm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's literally preseason you idiots

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a good point. He's not going up against starters

Keep cooking, my friend, keep cooking

[–] Pumpoozle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

At least he’s hustling

[–] CrabSauceCrissCross@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's literally the same cycle as last year. People see him workout in the off-season and start rooting for the Ben Simmons comeback. He plays one good preseason game and then there's a huge circlejerk about how he's back and how all the haters were so deluded for doubting him. Then he proceeds to do fuckall, seems to not care that he's playing like shit, people turn against him and the cycle repeats.

[–] UncleRico95@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Draymond without the passion for playing basketball
