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

[eaglesnut]

Seriously, why can't Ben at least put on a Nets shirt on the sidelines like everyone else? Why does he have to wear ridiculous outfits that only draw more attention to him and the fact that he is not on the court? It's such a visually striking example of a selfish player.

If you are asking this you weren't paying attention.

 

[eaglesnut]

Will be interesting. It definitely seems there is some motivation to extend these series.

Its the nba. All money, no honor.

For the record I do believe at this point that Ben Simmons has mental issues. But I think it is too late to save him and his career. He probably needs to retire or go to Europe or something because he can’t play NBA basketball right now. Imagine the locker room.

There is definitely something wrong with him.

There is definitely something wrong with him

If you get a chance to watch the tapes & listen to their takes.....

Tim Legler on The Mike Greenberg show on ESPN today said it best.
And so did Charles Barkley & Kenny Smith during Inside the NBA on TNT last night.

The news spreads fast, bro.
There probably aren’t many teams, if any at all, in the Euro leagues who’ll want to him either at this point.

I wish someone had a damn GoPro camera in that locker room.

Kyrie in there burning sage…
Durant throwing shit left and right…
Curry is FaceTiming Dell…
Drummond taking dick pics…

There’s your next HBOmax special.

"Mental issue" is a cop out. He's immature and he's a bitch in his soul. Nothing to do with bad wiring or anything else.

Don't blame his momma either this boy wanted to be a bitch so that's what he became.

That fake ass team is in total disarray.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch, not named the Heat.

Hey you spelled Lakers wrong.

Nah they didn’t even make the playoffs.
I didn’t feel like beating a dead horse.

He's clearly immature and bitch made. I think it's too late to save his NBA career, like I said.

But I think some of his issues might be mental. He was coddled, never held accountable, and it's too late now to fix it. At minimum he needs to go play in a less high pressure environment. Maybe getting traded to Sacramento or some other team with no real playoff chances would also help. But who would want him? I am just glad Philly dumped him on someone else. Harden is clearly on the downside but at least he actually plays and contributes, and in a year they can let Harden walk if they decide he is not worth the money.

Is there ever an inappropriate time to talk some trash about duh Purple 'n Gold?

He's quit in every situation he's been in where the situation isn't 100% to his liking. He quit on his college team. He dipped out on his national team. He only wants to play when the conditions are ideal for him.

 

[trojanfan12]

Apparently the Nets have let it out that they are exasperated with the situation.

Thing is, he's still a heck of a defensive player and teams will sign him up every single time regardless.

A lot of Warrior fans were clamoring to trade Wiseman and whatever salaries needed for Simmons. Maybe the Warriors dodged a bullet. Wiseman could wind up being nothing, but the Simmons drama is a lot to take.

 

[raider bill]

L MAO I don't see how this guy ever plays again.

Not a surprise at all
