**** this baby B**** loser man. What a front runner.
 
I really wished Ben would’ve taken the easy dunk instead of dishing it off. He could’ve had a potential and 1, at worst 2 points, but in reality they walked away from that play with 1 point.
I was looking at the play like it was foolishness, but they replayed it like he did something smart.

My thing is in his presser he said Gallo was behind him, which from the trillion angles they replayed it was true, I’m like when has Gallo been a defender like that, and if he attempts the block it’s already too late, you had him beat clear as day, so make the dunk, get the foul and maybe sink the free throw.
 
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I feel like folks going too hard at Ben. Yes he was trash, but I think there's a line when criticizing. Gonna mess with this dude's head.

Same thing I said with the Kwame Brown situation. I have no issue with criticism and jokes as long as people keep it within bounds. As long as they're not saying anything crazy about Ben personally or his family, it's okay in my book. He gets praise when he plays well and criticism when they don't.
 
The crazy thing is I have no idea if you're serious

I’m dead cereal. Funny enough I still wasn’t sure if the guy was trolling or not because he turned into a whol different person when he started recording. Sonon the way home I asked my girl if he was aerious and she said he was but he won’t tell anyone his channel’s ñame because he doesn’t want his close friends to watch his videos lmao
 
It saddens me that my favorite NTers from New York are fighting. Let's meet up in my home Burrough of Denver, Colorado and has things out.
Let em fight. The brothers will work it out.
 
Doc Rivers is nothing but a slightly above avg coach who comes from a long line of the Del Harris's, Rick Adelman's, George Karl's, and Mike Fratello's of the world.

Agreed.

It’s a lot of pent up emotions. Ppl starting to see the light on how he hasn’t improved and disappears during the playoffs

and honestly it’s granted, everyone else been taking the heat over the failures and yet Ben is the one who ducks all of it because he hasn’t reached his proverbial ceiling

the ceiling is the floor
 
kingfoamnyc kingfoamnyc is just mad that his argument is fundamentally flawed and people called him out so he's just going to pretend like we can't comprehend what he's saying or we're misrepresenting him. There's not much to it, happens all the time.

LOL @ LeBron being protected and the NBA (or any sports league) somehow regulating the amount of criticism it's athletes can get.

Can you imagine Adam Silver or somebody from the NBA League office calling FS1, ESPN, NBCSports and saying "look, I need you guys to lay off Ben Simmons."😂

EYE feel the disrespect for professional athlete's has gotten a tad out of line.

Especially considering that the NBA has taken a staunch approach on educating and recognizing the importance of mental health


It's extremely important that we understand who the majority of the players that populate the league are where they come from.

These guys haven't had sufficient counseling or even the access to satisfactory mental health counselors BEFORE they were in the position to where millions of people criticize and ridicule their every move.

LeBron James is criticized like no other when it comes to his on court failures but regardless of that he's had a very strong team of handlers around him since he was a rookie.

His PR team will check individuals and networks for the slightest amount of disrespect and it has done wonders for him and his image

No athlete before him has had the amount of control and power he has over the media. Be critical all you want but the disrespect LeBron ain't going for it


Everyone isn't LeBron though, and that's where I feel the NBA can come in and assist these other players who are overly scrutinized and disrespected

It's a difference between getting jokes off because of poor performance and outwardly disrespecting someone as a man on national TV.

ESPN, TNT, FSN, etc have to do better. Especially the black analyst

I don't like the fact that these guys can have a ****** playoff series and the first chance Shaq or Chuck gets they are thirsty to pile on and be disrespectful as well

Literally in the next segment here they are advoca
ting about the importance of mental health

No one says jack **** about Kevin Love acting like a ******* child, quitting on his team, getting coaches fired, being out of shape and playing like **** but everyone got "all the smoke" with us when we struggle plus some nice disrespect on top of it

It's just oxymoronic to me.

Yeah don't get me wrong, he deserves the bulk of the criticism. I'm talking more about the crazy fans and media who are taking it over the top.
 
The % of NBA Coaches that never won a Chip, % has to be like 99%.
DOC keeps getting jobs because, he can Coach and Coach well.
Not every Coach gon' win it all.
1 can win.
Best believe 29 are gonna lose.
Every year.
 
If Philly chooses to keep Ben, his role needs to change. He will need to become a Draymond type player due to his lack of scoring .

Draymond excels when playing center surrounded by shooters. He’ll never have that chance in Philly.
 
I’m not sure why Doc kept giving Dwight minutes. He was absolutely horrible. Maybe he should’ve went small and used Ben at the 5 when Embiid went to the bench.

Signing shooters needs to be priority if they keep him because at this point he is who he is.
