@unitedfan1116: "Ben Simmons is so bad at basketball that he single handedly lost Brooklyn the game. Bonehead move from the coach to keep him in late in the game"

@mouseonfeet: "Brooklyn Nets are a fun team again. Just need the ball in D Lo’s hands even when Ben Simmons is in the game

Ben is a great playmaker but the defense doesn’t have to stay honest with him cause they know he isn’t shooting"
