Series Thread: 2) Boston Celtics vs 7) Brooklyn Nets

Another local nets guy. Once again, this is a nets organization decision. Not Ben

I agree. This is more of a nets issue than a Ben issue imo

Something tells me these two tweets are very related. Klutch made a call. It’s never Ben’s fault and that’s a theme. I will take ownership of this to you and @tlance i will concede that he has some legitimate issues. I’m no professional so I won’t attempt to classify it, but it’s clear to me that he has some phobia of getting back in an arena with fans (even home ones, maybe especially home ones). I don’t know what time line this all happened in but it’s clear he’s in the weeds right now so I’m wrong for questioning his authenticity.

 

[fightinfunbags]

You are silly if you think this is still on Ben. I get you hate the guy but a 10 year old can see that this is a nets organization thing. Series is done and no need for him to play

This one? You may be right. Why he’s not on the floor is him. I agree with you guys that he has an issue. I hope he gets better. I don’t want to see the guy ruin a career that we all should be able to enjoy.

Tried to get my floor tickets just behind the basket for game 3 last week. In previous years this was just under $300. This year those same seats went up to $600

Secondary market? That’s the impact of Boston fans. They had a big presence in the gym.

Stephen A Smith: When the owners insert that play or we don’t pay provision in the next cba it will be called the “Ben Simmons rule”

 

[thunderc]

I think this was Simmons

 

[bksballer89]

I think this was Simmons

I think you're wrong

Ben Simmons ruled out, won't play for the Nets this season after being traded there.

LMAO.

I think you're wrong

You are entitled to your opinion. Contrast all this with Embiid playing with a torn ligament in his thumb.

 

[thunderc]

And he should not get paid one penny. Rest assured, all the players are going to pay for this in the next cba.

Not the same thing at all. Embiid was already playing for the team. He isn't a new player that being asked to debut down 3-0. Once he wasn't ready for the regular season, they should have declared him out for the season

Simmons is up there in the Rudy Gobert “atmosphere”

I agree. Might as well rest Durant.

I would play Irving though.

This guy is a shaister and is going to get lit up tomorrow. Doesn’t matter he doesn’t care, has no shame

What good would it do for him to make his season/team debut down 3-0 in a series?

You don’t think if he came out and looked decent it just might make for a better off-season for all concerned? All this does is extend the soap opera around him through the off-season.

It would show a little heart for starters

It would give people a reason to watch.

That's all I got...
