    Ben is not a plug and play guy.

    I bet not having the ball in his hands a lot will make him very passive and a liability.

    It'd be ****ed up if they're 0-3 and they insist on Simmons suiting up

    Simmons: I-I don't know about playing tonight coach
    Nash: Hogwash. We're down 0-3 so what better game situation could you ask for in your return back to the NBA?
    Simmons: What if I play poorly? I'm still a bit rusty and my left--I mean my right--I mean both of my shoulders hurt still
    Nash: Wait I thought it was your back?
    Simmons: ....Yea....so anyways what if we lose and the fans put the blame on me?
    Nash: That's the beauty of it my boy! You were brought in to be the scapegoat for KD and Kyrie!

    I kind of disagree. It just makes no sense to scapegoat someone when the team is already down 0-3, as no team has ever overcome that. I still don't see Simmons taking that opportunity though, just like he passed on playing with Australia in the Olympics last year during what was also probably a no-lose opportunity.

    I don't make up the rules on how (social) media responds to Simmons or will respond to Simmons if/when he suits up. I'm just basing my sarcasm on how the NBA fans/watchers have, collectively, reacted to Simmons thus far.

    Blake has not played in a few games
    He was sucking wind out there. .
    I can only imagine what Ben will look like

    If all Simmons can do is slow down Tatum, it might be enormous for BKN


    Or they go out 0-4?

    That looks like a Russell Westbrook shot. Ben Simmons would pass the ball
