The kid needs to work on his blocks if he ever wants a triple double.

Trust the process! Wait..

10 boards and 9 assists is actually a pretty good statline, considering 23 minutes of playtime.

Played less than 2 minutes in the 4th quarter - that tells you what you need to know - even the coach doesnt trust him - overrated

Imagine any other point guard in the league (outside the top 3-4 super stars like Steph who are next level) put up these numbers game 1. People would lose their mind and say if he can just average 10-12 per game and put up the occasional 20+ point game, and we give him the right pieces he’ll win us championships. But hey it’s Ben Simmons, and haters love to hate

Stop it, he's already dead

it’s so obvious the only reason this sub cares about this dude is so they can talk shit on the sixers if he does well.

[–] KGisRCfather@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Imagine being a sixers fan and you only care about a player already gone from the team lmao

He’s still afraid of going to the line—he passed up a shot attempt right under the hoop, a near guaranteed and one opportunity, which turned into an empty possession. As long as he’s playing scared he won’t be an impactful player.

He got a single double! That's improvement lol

SINGLE DOUBLE BAYBEE

I feel like Ben keeps trying to play to his strengths but the world won't let him lol

He wants to be a team's defensive anchor and facilitator and nothing more. And I think that's okay.
