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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Messigoat3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SubZero_dot785@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Tregoods@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] champloojay@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Bizorro world Draymond.

[–] Nat_Feckbeard@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

HE IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE IS

[–] V-Right_In_2-V@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] PensiveinNJ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] durmduke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nets won the trade 🤣

[–] imminentjogger5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back"

[–] ZigZagZoo@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] bnewfan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nets fans huffing that hopium.

[–] GI2020@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

its the back issues

Triple single

How many picks do you accept for Mikal

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Padulsky21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Diary ass post

[–] tbloom117@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Scythe_Storm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's literally preseason you idiots

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

At least he’s hustling

[–] CrabSauceCrissCross@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Draymond without the passion for playing basketball
