    Ben Simmons is a huge joke

    this was so predictable tho…a guy like Ben Simmons is really easy to read

    people really wanted the Rockets to trade for this clown…

    KD might as well sit out game 4 with an injured groin

    this Nets season reminds me of our 15-16 season…after the Warriors beat our ass in game 5, all I can remember thinking is “thank u…this is finally over”

    Reggie Miller wild. Ben Simmons has to fight him now. On sight.

    He may have priced himself out of their budget

    LOL

    I would ask how KD and the rest of the team could have any respect for Bum Simmons, but they did tolerate Kyrie’s idiocy so who knows

    seems like if KD is your leader, prepare for nonstop fckery…Bron, Kobe, Wade, and so many other greats would never have tolerated Kyrie’s stupidity

    Harden while in BK was looking around like “Is nobody gonna say something?”

    I feel sorry for Seth Curry and Drummond. This dude sat out an entire year because his feelings got hurt and they’ve had a front row seat for the drama.

    Simmons woke up this morning with back soreness. Not tomorrow morning. Not a couple of hours before the game.

    He woke up this morning and decided that he was going to be out for a game tomorrow night. Hilarious.

    Apparently after 10 days of no pain. Here’s what happened. Simmons got clowned for dressing like the Joker. Simmons got clowned for potentially being the first player in NBA history to be eliminated in back to back games.

    The Nets are too afraid to call it what it is.

    Let’s say the Nets extend to 5. It’s a given Simmons won’t play. His season is over.

    It'd be super funny if Ben said all this to test the waters and see if there would be any backlash. If there was no backlash, he'd sit out game 4.

    If there was backlash (like what's happening now), he's suddenly going to wake up tomorrow all good to go for game 4.

    Ben Simmons, the brave soul, fighting through the back pain to suit up and save the Nets' season.

    The difference between Simmons and Kyrie is Simmons is literally out there faking injuries to avoid playing. If it wasnt for now lifted mandates Kyrie would have been playing all season. It's just too bad for the Nets they play in one of the 2 or 3 NBA cities that mandated that bullshit. This is why Kyrie is given more leeway with his teammates and why Simmons is gonna fall out of favor real fast if he hasn't already

    Kyrie would have found a different reason to miss games…he can’t be trusted

    missing 70% of the regular season is probably the only reason he’s even healthy right now since he’s injury prone too

    injury prone and unreliable is a bad combination

    I bet we hear more about how the players not named KD really felt about Kyrie once this Nets season is over…I really doubt Harden was the only one who had a problem with Kyrie’s idiocy, he’s just the only one who could try and do something about it

    I think Steven A said Kyrie has only played
    More than 60 games in a season like 4 times
    In his whole career
    He is an 11 yr vet right?

    So maxed out for at most 60 games a year
    best contract for a playet every.
