I predict Simmons will play this year and the Nets will be a top 5 team and then lose early in the playoffs when Simmons shrinks again.
Have we ever seen a Big 3 as flaky as Durant, Irving, and Simmons? If I were Kellogg's, I'd get them to do a commercial together.
I can't stand this guy. Just own that you couldn't handle the criticism and pressure or say nothing and play.
Nope. He should have gone up and punched it, regardless of who he thought it was. And him thinking that saying he was guarding the best player the whole game is any kind of excuse shows his loser mindset. Him chuckling it up does not help him either.
“It think it’s overdone,” Rivers said. “I couldn’t care less about Ben’s shooting. And I’m being honest. I want Ben to be a player. Ben’s a great basketball player. Ben makes plays. Ben has vision that only 5-10 guys in the NBA have. And he has it with size. We won a world championship in Boston with Rajon Rondo, who they quote-unquote said you can’t win with a non-shooting guard on the floor. Well, we didn’t have a problem winning at all that year.” … "I think Ben's a facilitator," Rivers said. "I think that's what he does. ... I think you guys are way more concerned about him scoring than I am. ... I think Ben does so many things for this team to help us win. Scoring is just, I'm telling you, the least thing that I'm concerned about." … “I could care less,” Rivers said. “I’ll let you guys talk about what Ben doesn’t do. I just want Ben to keep playing great defense, running our team, and winning games.”
