Lol who is this dude rocking the hoodie and how much gas did he smoke before today’s show??? Ben Simmons doesn’t even have to score, he’ll be fine…
Mike Blaze
April 7, 2022 at 12:29 pm
And if he gonna run point he gotta learn how to run a half court offense
Nikki
April 7, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Been saying that his whole career
Mike Jones
April 7, 2022 at 9:40 pm
@Mike Blaze He definitely knows how to run an offense

Jay be stupid sometimes…this is obviously a failure of a season for the Nets. Everything outside of KD’s injury are things they as players or as an organization chose. Kyrie not getting vaccinated is a choice. Harden leaving is on them because they got wishy washy with Kyrie and KD didn’t step up as a leader. It’s a failure…
ANDREJ TADIC
April 7, 2022 at 11:25 am
Well it’s not a failure until it says they are out of the playoffs… who knows what can happen in the playoffs.

He is saying the injuries but Miami had injuries in the beginning of the season, Boston was without Jaylen Brown the Bull have had a series of injuries. He is making excuses for his sugar daddy KD.

Let’s talk about the Nets culture and lack of accountability
Marline Sutherland
April 7, 2022 at 9:36 pm
@David Ardelo those teams are whole now, Brooklyn isn’t. They lost Joe Harris their best shooter since Mid-November, Lost KD for 2 months, Harden was tanking games and forced his way out and his replacement has yet to play a single game this season and most likely won’t.

Who is the guy wearing the hoodie? He’s a really bad pundit.

He is making more sense than Jay Will

“They were #1 in East…” with an 0-8 record against top teams up to that point. That’s why Brooklyn got desperate enough to flip their stance on Kyrie being a part-time player.
Tuan Deezy
April 7, 2022 at 12:44 pm
Well they just beat the doors off the #1 seed a week and a half ago… by 20… in their own building????
David Ardelo
April 7, 2022 at 2:00 pm
@Tuan Deezy Miami was on a second night off a back to back with 3 games in 4 nights lol
Tuan Deezy
April 7, 2022 at 2:06 pm
@David Ardelo bruh the nets lost to a lot of teams on a back to back that y’all don’t never give them slack for ???? they lost to hawks on a back to back. And hornets. They lost to Dallas on a buzzer on a back to back. They lost to Raptors by 1 on a back to back. Back to backs are apart of the game
David Ardelo
April 7, 2022 at 2:32 pm
@Tuan Deezy I’m well aware of that which is why I mentioned it after that Miami slump the won 6 in a row they have 51 wins compared to the 42 Brooklyn has Miami is just a better team.
Tuan Deezy
April 7, 2022 at 2:40 pm
@David Ardelo yeah bc Harden tanked the nets from the 1st seed to the 8th not bc the heat have just been better ????. But whatever u say, I’ll save this comment and come back in 2 weeks
TheEmBeard
April 7, 2022 at 11:48 am
76ers gave up 30 pts a piece to Trae Young AND Lou Will in game 6 last year so Ben Bricks is no stopper and will get hacked every 4th qtr in the playoffs instead of letting Kylie and KD cook so he better have been practicing foul shots so he doesn’t shoot 32% IN THE PLAYOFFS again
Mike Blaze
April 7, 2022 at 12:27 pm
Right trae avg 30 11 and 6 or something like that in that series

Since he beat the warriors and had an historic playoff run

Ben Simmons in year 4 was worse in every statistical category, than his rookie year. As a 21 year old rookie he put up more points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. That tells you he isn’t meaningfully working on his game.

Ben is the most fragile player in NBA history, if I were the Nets I’d just release him
Dream Cage
April 7, 2022 at 3:14 pm
I don’t believe that Ben Simmons is hurt and he should play in the playoffs if they make it
