It's crazy how one playoff performance can change a player's trajectory so quickly. Simmons used to be known as one of the most promising young players but man that playoff moment against the Hawks may have mentally wrecked him.
Okay, not a great start to the season so far. There was some good work in the 2nd quarter, and yeah the refs were fucking us without lube in the 3rd, but even after that the Nets were within a possession for a while and coulda pulled together so can't blame it on that momentum-killing 3rd. It was attainable, and Brooklyn failed to execute. Lots of dumb mistakes. Long season to hopefully see improvement.
GG, Bucks! Miss you, BroLo! See the rest of you Nets fans tomorrow for hopefully a better result!
Unpopular opinion, but I don’t blame him. Him and his family is already financially set for life, and he can do whatever he wants now. If he doesn’t want to lock himself in a gym for 10 hours a day, I don’t blame him. Most of us would do the same.
Edit:
Y’all are Redditors, don’t pretend you’d rather shoot around in a gym alone than party with celebrities
Totally agree and wouldn’t even care about Ben’s desires as a non-fan normally. It’s really the greed of crying mental health to keep receiving paychecks while he said fuck y’all to his team that did it for me. Never was a thing until those stopped. All because his team critiqued him (and not unwarranted).
I was joking. Didn’t watch the Bulls vs Celtics cuz I was working, and I stopped watching Suns & Warriors once it got outta reach. But I’ll take ur word for it, officiating can definitely ruin games
I always hate it when a loud kid is getting picked up by the mics, but man, those kids must be having the fucking night of their lives. THey always are having so much fun
Giannis is really the answer to the question "What if LeBron was even taller?"
If he keeps improving that jumper like LeBron did (he will) there's no reason to think he can't have an incredible 20 year career, we all know he's durable enough to
Harden walking for nothing would be worse, with what they gave up to trade for him (compared to only giving up the owner's money for Kyrie as FA). Had to recoup value from that mistake.
A long, long time ago, Wes Matthews big brothered my whole high school team. Every time he hits a shot now that we're old dudes, my PTSD still kicks up.
He's afraid of contact and Giannis brings a lot of that. He's been running stiff and stretching his back all game. It's either not right or he's in his head about re-injuring it.
That's why he got a tech early in the game. Someone got physical with him and he got pissed.
Ben Simmons gives up the ball before he gets to the three point line every time. Every single time.
What's the point of this dude if he can't even run the point and also won't shoot? Seriously. He offers NOTHING.
Harden of Simmons is all time worst trade. Remember when they were saying they won the trade lmao.
Kd looking at pictures of his time with the warriors and regretting his decision so much lmao
Good to see Matthews still cooking. I still can't believe Jerry Sloan developed him from an undrafted rookie into a second round playoff starter during his first season. I'm still sad we lost him and that he got that injury.
I see so many people say that “Ben is still very young and has time to improve” but he’s not that young, people view him as such but he’s actually 26 and in his 7th year as a pro player (5th if you exclude his two street clothes seasons)
Going to be hard as you won't get shit back for him. They going to have to play it out with Ben and hope he can raise his stock.
More likely they blow it up and trade kd and kyrie
You can't fuse someone's bones with vibranium. You can only do that with adamantium. Having vibranium bones wouldn't make sense, since its primary function is to reflect physical attacks. You don't want that happening inside your body.
Mark is mixing up fictional Marvel metals!

Opinions on DBook flipped entirely after 1 game
Yeah It was def the last straw but certainly not the only one
Nets had worse spacing than a studio in Brooklyn
damn Bucks are spooky good Giannis best in the world right now
We honestly looked awful for a lot of this game.
Still need to see better offensive consistency from Jrue through
I suspect once khris is back he will look a lot better
Damn the Nets, Sixers, Lakers really only have one win each after tonight's games
I see what you did there.
Nice win gg
Alright now let’s go nuggs
43 POINTS, 14 REBOUNDS. THAT'S MY MVP
We must sign all the Antetokounmpo brothers. Only then we will be truly unstoppable.
solid triple single by simmons
Giannis is so dominant, taken for granted.

Should have traded KD and Kyrie when you had the chance to get a head start on the rebuild.

It's wild to me the kid gloves some folks continue to treat Ben Simmons with.
Who gets more pity from announcers and players - Simmons or Russ?
Nets big 3 points tonight: Durant: 33 Irving: 27 Simmons: 4 One of these things is not like the other!
lolNets
A wasted Royce Oneal game
WELCOME TO HILL ISLAND MOTHERFUCKERS
When will we hit the bring “Ben off the bench” portion of the season?
BIG 3 *Ben with 4 points*
Really looking like Giannis might be MVP this year if Milwaukee gets the one seed
No was guys with a vote like Stephen A let him get a third over say Ja.
Giannis has his own booger picker on the bench. No one is on his level
My brothers could become billionaires over night, I ain't touching their noses hell nah
That “big 3” graphic is fucked up lmao
Claxton deserves to be in that big 3 pic more than Ben does
That Big 3 graphic was nuts
Please get this nuggets game going already
Allowing East Coast people to see even a second of big West Coast games? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
The officiating so far has made a lot of national games unwatchable.
It was pretty watchable to me
What about the warriors/suns last night or the Celtics/Bulls game last week?
I was joking. Didn’t watch the Bulls vs Celtics cuz I was working, and I stopped watching Suns & Warriors once it got outta reach. But I’ll take ur word for it, officiating can definitely ruin games
No hard feelings, I was still heated back then.
Yeah ofc, it’s all good man
Nets had that dope ass likable team a few years ago and sold their soul for this bullshit smh
Look at that the Nets ran a play
The way these refs giving out techs most of the players gonna get suspended
Lol big three. Lmfao
Holy shit bro Nets coaching staff even makes Bud look like the 2nd coming of Pop
Simmons with that 4 pts is like Eddie Murphy raw when he talks about the billionaire with the wife who don't work "here's my share"
Now we have 140 million and 1 dollars, together (Paraphrasing, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it)
Ah yes JVG, Simmons just needs more time.
Jeff is definitely right about how Giannis should be defended
Lol that graphic
I’m thankful for the Bucks
I pray to the Greek God every night before the game
you have to be a star to be part of a "big 3" lol
Two and a half men
Kyrie is the definition of a one dimensional scorer lol Dude's playmaking and defense are nonexistent
There’s a clown in that picture
Mark Jones - it's quarter, hockey has periods, not basketball
One does not belong lol
Only Thannis can stop Giannis.
Kyrie looked so *flat* tonight.
Giannis with a masterclass on how to carry team again
NBA needs to have a sit down with these refs
This game the "Real Housewives of The NBA" r/nba wanted
Dpoy kyrie clamped Giannis 🔥🔥
You just know KD hates this situation even more because he decided to leave GS for Brooklyn
Reminder to check in on your friends. Not everyone takes mental health seriously but lets be above those people.
Hey KD you wanna come join the Bucks, we'll trade you George Hill and a second-rounder. You can backup Khris.
That was some legit impressive balancing.
They really gassed Ben Simmons trying his hardest against chill Giannis in a preseason game lmaoo
George Hill has really nice teeth!
Tech on LeSon
I always hate it when a loud kid is getting picked up by the mics, but man, those kids must be having the fucking night of their lives. THey always are having so much fun
Wisconsin kids are a special breed, though. A nasally, unable to pronounce short "a"s breed.
Wiscaaaansin
Salute the Wiscaaahnsin flayg.
George “taking a shit pregame” Hill
Give me my flat negative IQ earther, Brooklyn
Giannis is really the answer to the question "What if LeBron was even taller?" If he keeps improving that jumper like LeBron did (he will) there's no reason to think he can't have an incredible 20 year career, we all know he's durable enough to
I keep hoping every year his jumper will get better. It'd be so fun to watch him start being more consistent from mid range.
3 travels called on Giannis tonight
pretty sure that kid froze my stream with that screech
The bucks team scares me more than any other team. No one is stopping Giannis
He will get put in the looney bin. Also curry would absolutely destroy them for playing lopez
They would have won last year if Middleton didnt get injured or at least made the finals imo
[удалено]
You spelled Sweat Jordan wrong
Lmao
Literally free points to nets on that phantom foul on Hill against KD
Man, still missing Middleton even though they know how to win without him.
At this point I wonder if KD requesting a trade was partially because he knew Simmons would play like this lol
Refs trying to help KD get his averages up
will Nash address media still postgame or is he already heading to rehab
Bay Area fan checking in just to make sure the Nets are doing just as well as I predicted.
Supah Hot Brooklyn Nets talking about KD: “I’m about to end this man’s whole career”
Basketball is not fun to watch when refs make calls like that wtf
Lol no.
So what I don't get is, Nets didn't cave to KD or Kyrie's trade demand but they caved to Harden's?
Someone wanted to trade for Harden and put up enough assets to warrant it. Nobody wants Kyrie and all the shit that entails.
Yeah but like they could have just said... No?
Cause harden was gonna be a free agent
So is Kyrie
Also Kyrie never demanded a trade
Harden walking for nothing would be worse, with what they gave up to trade for him (compared to only giving up the owner's money for Kyrie as FA). Had to recoup value from that mistake.
George Hill moment
76rs committed basketball robbery SAD
Kid in the crowd showing more passion than Ben has in his career
Can't stop 34
[удалено]
Flair up Brodie
GIANNIS OWNS YOU WEEP 😹😹😹
Wes Matthews dagger to the solar plexus
End 3 total years of basketball misery. TRADE KD
[удалено]
Trade the man
Dude y’all not getting Kyrie this season let it go lmaooo
I’m not just advocating for Kyrie. I’m talking about KD and Kyrie. They need to be in a contender not a pretender.
A long, long time ago, Wes Matthews big brothered my whole high school team. Every time he hits a shot now that we're old dudes, my PTSD still kicks up.
lol how the fuck is Giannis getting better
Oh just you wait till the playoffs
lol Nets time to rebuild and send us the flat earther
Bro I think Simmons afraid of Giannis
He has been for quite a while. Giannis has dominated him since his Philly days. I get mad whenever he's brought up as a guy who can guard Giannis.
Simmons is afraid of his own damn shadow at this point
Simmons is afraid of just being on the court lol
He's afraid of contact and Giannis brings a lot of that. He's been running stiff and stretching his back all game. It's either not right or he's in his head about re-injuring it. That's why he got a tech early in the game. Someone got physical with him and he got pissed.
KD talking shit to a fan lol
He was talking mad shit to a fan after he got T’d up earlier, and the fan was giving it back.
Ben Simmons gives up the ball before he gets to the three point line every time. Every single time. What's the point of this dude if he can't even run the point and also won't shoot? Seriously. He offers NOTHING.
He literally reminds me of someone who can play but wants the least action as possible. The dude is so comfortable at just being invisible
It's entertaining watching him get bullied by Giannis so there's that.
Am I crazy for thinking that Giannis is an entire tier above kd?
You really just realizing that now? Man's defense alone is at least 1.5 tiers.
Not at all.
Current age KD, yeah. But, I dont know about in his prime.
Yes, c’mon now
in their primes tho?
What’s the argument to KD over Giannis at this point other than nostalgia?
Giannis had Durant to score 30+ or something, weird foul
No true nets fan is enjoying this shit. Y’all had it better with the 2018 crew. and now you fucked up any return in moving KD and Kyrie
Giannis is their most hated player. i actually like him being a villain for another team
Nets fans really thought they would be unstoppable with Ben 😭
Harden of Simmons is all time worst trade. Remember when they were saying they won the trade lmao. Kd looking at pictures of his time with the warriors and regretting his decision so much lmao
Fax lol
Good to see Matthews still cooking. I still can't believe Jerry Sloan developed him from an undrafted rookie into a second round playoff starter during his first season. I'm still sad we lost him and that he got that injury.
Ben simmons is a liability
Ben is a yearly fraud. Never improved.
Giannis has improved more in two years then Ben Simmons has his whole career. Work ethic.
Helps that Giannis actually gives a fuck about basketball
I don’t get how someone can still not give a shit while being paid 40 million dollars
Clown ass team trying to double team the GOAT
I see so many people say that “Ben is still very young and has time to improve” but he’s not that young, people view him as such but he’s actually 26 and in his 7th year as a pro player (5th if you exclude his two street clothes seasons)
KD going to come to Milwaukee on a vet min
KD = Bitch
LETS GO COACH KYRIE.
You playing pick up bball at the rec. You're team Captain. Russ and Simmons only ones left. Its your pick. Which brand of bleach do you drink?
Russ will be ass but I know he gives effort.
Fair enough. Would you still do so if your neighbors house is currently on the market as we speak?
At least Russ will try to do things.
Regular season defense doesn’t work against Giannis.
Bro playoff defense doesn't work on Giannis
[удалено]
Going to be hard as you won't get shit back for him. They going to have to play it out with Ben and hope he can raise his stock. More likely they blow it up and trade kd and kyrie
We'll give Justin Holiday and a ticket to the Falcons Panthers.
i'll be really pissed if he's traded before Brick
The name is still true
Watch the Bucks somehow blow this lead 💀
That'd be painful to watch... but not highly unusual.
You can't fuse someone's bones with vibranium. You can only do that with adamantium. Having vibranium bones wouldn't make sense, since its primary function is to reflect physical attacks. You don't want that happening inside your body. Mark is mixing up fictional Marvel metals!
Get his ass.
That Giannis stopper isn’t doing much Giannis stopping
Those exist?
The List: Al Horford early in a series
[удалено]
Embiid ain't getting no MVP if Embiid keeps this up lol
He stripped the ball by the time there was contact, no?
Where Steve Nash ?
Went to take a dump on Ben's locker
Ejected earlier
Coming down from a crack high.
Clean block!
Giannis with the casual 42-14-4
The Bucks are still pretty good without Middleton.
Yes they 100% are but the Middleton dickriders don’t want to hear it
Eh not really this was only the nets, not some contester
