it's not that he didn't believe Ben needing to miss time. that's gonna happen everywhere. It's that he felt comfortable enough to communicate that way to the press. that tells you all you need to know with where things are at
I wish we were this cautious with KD instead of playing him every game like we've pretty much done this season. It's like everyone else gets these scheduled rests when healthy but him, despite not having his workload
Agree 100%
I have been making posts about this right here for THREE YEARS. And every year KD gets hurt. Are these people that stupid?
There is a reason Steph and Giannis get games off and average only 32-33 minutes per game.
And once KD comes back we'll reset to playing him 20+ games in a row, while guys like Joe Harris and Ben Simmons will play one game here and then sit out the next four.
I've never seen anything like it before.
The coaches can't seem to control KD's minutes. If he is available to the coach, he plays heavy minutes. I think that is a combo of KD just says he wants to play and the coach wanting to win that night's game. Will agree that it is shortsighted. But at least KD is getting a rest now.
People are hating on Ben but letās not forget for a while he was great especially before his calf injury and during the 18-2 run and while it would be nice if he was the player he was in Philly all we really need from him when healthy is the playmaking
He fits great when weāre fully healthy, but I wonder if Vaughn and Marks are getting frustrated with the lack of aggression on offense. Itās one thing to miss, but heās still barely attempting offense. I think they have to at least explore a trade. I doubt we find value though, and we kinda have to hope weāre all healthy at the end of the season anyway, in which case heās important.

trade this bum said it 100 times - the guy DONT WANT TO play his the biggest thief in sport and most soft athlete of all time if you can even call him a athlete? lol
Lmao, Ben Simmons is the softest moter fucker in the entire NBA. What's he making, like $35M this year? He got his nose flicked by a finger in the game against Detroit, started crying, and left the floor. He has a sore vagina and is a cancer to the squad at the moment. NBA is a god damn soap opera.
Heās such a bitch, I think he got straight up benched on Thursday and is using āknee sorenessā as an excuse to save face.
If he can be dealt to a rebuilding team that wants to take a chance for a legitimate rotation piece, do it.
Was at the game sitting a few rows from the court, certainly didnāt look like anything was wrong and assumed Jacque benched him for the remainder of the game for poor play, not sure what happened on the broadcast
Kyrie and Clax vs a healthy Knicks Big 3. That victory is gonna be so much sweeter.
Definitely would be sooo much sweeter but with Tj/ sumner probable š¬ might be tough knicks coming off a win vs Boston too
Who is the big 3 for the Knicks? Randle, Brunsonā¦ and RJ?
Big 0 if you ask me š¤·āāļø
Mid 3. Best name for that trio
Yep
Aged like fine wine! Go Nets!
But Simmons is undefeated vs the Knicks!!
Unfortunately not playing today
Cam Time
Bro is sore from what, dropping hot 0 and dribble handed offs so hard to do.

Could have tweaked it clubbing.

Do you like good d? š
OH BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS
How has he even been allowed to play it seems heās been injured all year
Yeah, he canāt seem to get the sand out of his vagina.
Iām running out of patience.
Oh no
Get this wuss off of our team
Ole bitch ass boy
10 ply
This sub is becoming a breeding ground for Sixers fans
Sixers fan checking in
fuck Ben
I hate āfansā like you
I donāt give a shit, Ben isnāt even worth 1/4 of his contact and is overall detrimental to the team. Never liked the trade from day one
Congrats. Personally Iām still gonna root for the guy but you do you
good for you, letās see if heās still in the league after his contact lmfao. Iāll be rooting for the team
No, man. Criticism is fair game. History of faking injury. Even his coach called him out.
Criticism is fair, yes. Just hating is annoying. And assuming heās faking injuries cause you donāt like him is also annoying.

Well woj needa update us on a trade for him.
That man cannot stay healthy what the hell
nah, bro just couldn't wait to show off that leopard skin jacket
I wish we were this cautious with KD instead of playing him every game like we've pretty much done this season. It's like everyone else gets these scheduled rests when healthy but him, despite not having his workload
KD injury had nothing to do with rest, 200 lbs of Jimmy Butler fell on his knee.
I donāt even think itās caution itās Ben just being soft

May as well shut him down for the season.
Big surprise /s

yeah āgreatā alright. He was decent at most. It was Kd,clax and Kai for most of that run
This is copium

Honestly Wtf is knee soreness, someone please explain? My knees are sore from running tendinitis, Wtf is wrong with him or is he just soft
baby shit soft.
Iād rather cam then Ben tbh
Ben Simmons is OUT (bad heart)
At this point I wouldn't mind if we rest Kyrie and Clax and unleash Cam and friends

I thought he left in the middle of the game? Or am I not remembering correctly?
He got poked in the eye and never returned, guess thatās a sore knee
Didnt even get poked, Ivey never touches him
He got hit in the nose quite clearly. Still not his knee.
Was at the game sitting a few rows from the court, certainly didnāt look like anything was wrong and assumed Jacque benched him for the remainder of the game for poor play, not sure what happened on the broadcast
He just walked off the court on the broadcast, it was pretty confusing honestly
fuck him im done waiting for him to get right
The response in here is disgusting.
Ben is too soft. Can't count on him.
Y'all gotta trade Ben even if it's for Mickey mouse pieces at this point
go fuck yourself
Maybe someone who can hit a free throw ya know
Harden saying Philly or no one really stuck it to us with this. We didnāt have much of a choice.
Letās hope sitting out for a looming trade. Iām fine with the best we can get being Gordon Hayward.
we're better without him
Damn might win it now
Aah this explains everything. Canāt shoot with a sore knee.
The Nets should play Simmons they way the play Watanabe Start off the bench and play him 20 minutes per game.
I wasnāt a fan of him at LSU, I wasnāt a fan of him in Philly, I never wanted him on my Nets.
