Kyrie and KD are two of the best players of all time. They must be top 20 or close to it. Their team is terrible.

Simmons is an embarrassment and there was a time I thought he was going to be so good.

Nets are a perfect example of "A champion team will always beat a team of champions.”
As basketballers KD and KI are undisputed, and arguably within "75" players, however, they are (sadly🙁) exemplary head cases - irrational insecurity (KD) and focus on everything except the game (KI).
When you add a player that is too afraid to shoot the ball, there is huge chunk of money (300 million$ +) spent unwisely. Tells you everything about the owner and GM's understanding of basketball😢

I’m heading to the US in a few weeks to see family. I’ll keep an eye out for any Giannis jerseys but I don’t get the champion jersey?

Nah that’s a bit harsh, Simmons is a really good player imo

Watch how he’s used in Philly, this is how he should be used . As a coach you wanna bring out each of your players strengths and Bens is dictating the tempo. Not setting screens for KD

Lakers doing better now they got their rotations in order. Westbrook can’t be on the court at the same time as AD and Bron. Too ball dominant players. All 3 haven’t been on the court at the same time. They’re figuring it out… love how technical yet simple basketball can be and analysing how each team plays…

Just like when the nets get their new coach he’s going to have to integrate Ben Simmons with Kyrie and and KD and imo let Ben dictate most of the offence. He can’t be on the court with Claxton etc. Ben will improve as welll very soon as Seth is coming back

I just don't know how a team with those two players is going so poorly. I understand what you state about the GM but I would think with those two we are going to win.

He has the physical attributes to be a great player but I don't think he has the mind-set to perform anywhere near that level. He is just going to take the money and run.

I think he is extremely weak mentally.

His performances this year have been terrible.

Joe Harris and Seth will be back soon which will help him. Additionally, having Claxton and Royce clogging up the lane hasn’t helped Ben. He needs an open lane to drive to the bucket; mid range or kick it to shooters when the defence collapses . He’s been unable to do that with KD and Ky dictating the offence. He hasn’t even been able to play as a point forward.

The coach needs to implement a system to integrate all their skills. Perhaps working Ben with the second unit or using a smaller line up …but putting it all down to Ben being shit is not right.
 
Westbrook didn’t play OT at all today

Too many play makers. Too many chefs in the kitchen. Seems like coach did the right thing. Stuck with winning chemistry/ lineup. Stuck with Austin Reeves and Lonnie Walker = more shooters and less ball dominant players
 
Pulled that out of their rear end. We (Lakers) blew a 16 point lead too.

I'm not stating that but he is that word. It's not that I don't swear. I just don't know when it's cool to swear on here or not.

I thought he would be Australia's great hope but I think he is a dud. All the physical attributes but he doesn't have that killer instinct.

Australia def need a second option on the international level outside of Mills. I can’t think of anyone outside of him that can shoot lights out.

You guys probably remember the Olympics when we were ahead at half time verse the US team and Pop made the adjustments at halftime. Doubled Patty and shit him out and it was GG

Shut him out
