Oh FFS Fox Sports, enough with the 'Aussie Kyrie' bullshit! This does my head in almost as much as calling every USA men's team The Dream Team.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Glad that it's all over.
Nets will probably still need Simmons to score with Durant perma-injured and Irving only playing half the games.
Hopefully they will actually encourage him to shoot from the beginning unlike Rivers.
Will be interesting to see Simmons and Mills finally play together.

He might be more aggressive without embiid hogging it and clogging up the guts.

He put +40 on gobert not too long ago

Mills and Simmons is pretty cool.

I wouldn't be against the nets adding more Aussies to the team next season

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Simmons surrounded by combo of KD, Kyrie, Curry, Mills, Harris should play to his strengths.

Shooters spread at the three point line, and he can then take his man to the hole and hit the open shooter if they send help. If he can't succeed in this team, well then....

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Heart says Patty knocks some sense into Simmons.

Brain says Simmons remains a dick.

Hopefully Mills is the mentor and positive influence that Ben needs and he can start to reach his full potential.

Either that, or Ben is a destructive influence on the Nets and their season implodes further.

Tipping Simmons to make a quick and miraculous recovery from his mental health issues that prevented him from playing for the 76ers and he will suit up for the Nets as soon as he's cleared.

Nah I reckon Kyrie will definitely be in his ear about playing for the Boomers. Lock Ben in for the World Cup this year.

 

[Financialpanther]

Simmons won't suit up until post All Star weekend wouldn't he - maybe a week or so after it.

the word is conditioning

 

[brutus76]

If Ben can't learn anything from Patty then he is lost to the game.

 

[Financialpanther]

Wonder how he will get on with a coach in Nash, particularly a point guard specialist.

 

[danielnajdek]

I wanted Patty to be with Ben at the Sixers. Thought they'd mix well together.

Really well I reckon. Apparently harden was in love with him

 

[moistie]

I just hope this means we see Ben play for Australia at the Paris Olympics

Just looking forward to Ben launching half a dozen three's a game and knocking them down at a good clip. Would be the ultimate troll of the sizers.

Hope he does. I might be a Sixers fans but that fan base is the worse in the NBA.

Yep, Embiid was definitely the problem.

It's not like the Nets need more apathetic followers, but one more couldn't hurt. FMD.

Agreed its an ideal environment for him in terms of team playing style.

 

[brutus76]

I just hope Ben comes out firing.

Also hope the 76'ers get nowhere near it

Then Joel "I shot 4/20 in Game 4 (lost by 3) and Tobias was 2/11 in Game 5 (lost by 3) and 8/24 in Game 7 (lost by 7) but we lost the East Conf Semis 'cos Ben can't shoot FT" can EAD

Yeah true **** Joel "30/12/4" Embiid for being frustrated at a player for refusing to shoot at all in the 4th quarter of that series and saying some very very slightly critical things about him.

What a terrible human being

How many turnovers?

 

[Iceman!]

How many turnovers?

No one is claiming he was perfect, but he was pretty bloody good.

He has also come back a better player this year and worked on his mistakes from last year, if Ben did the same no one would have an issue with him.

Simmons taking the 10 at nets
