They told me Benji was a defensive specialist.

37, 12, 11 from Siakam
38, 8, 7 from Ja
43, 14, 5 from Giannis
41, 11, 14 from Luka

I don't know if its what they do every game but during the mavs game he didnt guard Luka that much. As soon as he guarded luka, luka looked for a switch to another defender or Kyrie. if Kyrie got switched onto luka it was bbq chicken the entire night.

the nets were switching like crazy for some reason last night when you dont really need to if you have an elite defender like Simmons on him because from the possessions I saw Simmons was doing fine against luka.

Like I said all summer:

Brooklyn goof’d.

“we will trade KD later. Make him play! You have a contract!!!”

Raptors offer now is probably Malaki Flynn and 2 seconds.


Coulda had superstar Brown, White and a 1st in 2029….and Russ expiring and 2 first rounders while saving MILLIONS in taxes

I can tell half the people commenting on Ben don't even watch the games.

People see 1 airball clip and run with that. Not realizing that airball layups are common enough in the NBA that your own favorite player probably has done it too.

Expect an elite defensive player who had back surgery and hadn't played in a year to pick up where he left off brehs.

Not to mention, all those points weren't scored directly on him. Y'all are just ridiculous.

Videos?

Videos?

There's a 3 min montage on this page.

I also posted a clip during the game last night of buddy from Houston airballing one.

As well as mentioned how there are vids of Kobe, yes KOBE airballing a layup, Giannis, T-Mac and Kyrie too.

It happens.

Why are people saying Ben hasn’t played in two years? Didn’t he just miss last season?

 

[QU!K]

Nah man someone post Ben’s game log for the whole season.

He been certified ***.

I dunno looks extra crispy to me.

If you're saying that Kyrie is a bigger target than Ben I agree.
but they need Ben at a DPOY level for this to work.

 

[shuges]

Completely agree.

But people kill me with these unrealistic expectations.

If a bodybuilder was in a car crash and didn't touch weights for a year, do you all think he'd come back and be able to press what he did before the crash?

Even MJ looked like *** when he came back from baseball. It took him until the next year to return to form. And Ben ain't no MJ.

 

[lawdog1]

Like someone else said, he’s broken. Seems like that blown play against the Hawks in the playoffs in 2021 is permanently in his head.

Like Nick Anderson never was the same after those missed FTs in the ‘95 Finals.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I feel like comparing a player to Draymond Green or the "Draymond Role" is the biggest red flag.


people said "oh put Ben in the Draymond role with shooters"
the Nets have already abandoned that and are just putting him in the dunker


Draymond has massive limitations and makes up for it with HOF level basketball instincts
and really high end intensity and competitiveness.


if you don't have all those elements,
it means your just a player with massive limitations.
