The Inside Crew Reacts to Ben Simmons' Game 7 Performance Against the Atlanta Hawks | NBA on TNT

[@bonez0014]

As a Nets fan, that’s why I have a lot of respect for Giannis, you can tell he tries to work on his game in the summer. Sure he may not make every shot and may even airball a couple FTs, but he doesn’t let it stop him from being aggressive

[@newrecruit100]

Yep it’s makes the criticism of him excessive when you look at Simmons

[@legendtoni1094]

Giannis has improved an insane ammount. Hes trying his best. Most super stars and al stars always keep doing the same thing.

[@shudigg]

True. Gotta respect the hard work put in even if results are not showing right away.

[@jacquesschrap8932]

Main difference in Giannis compared to Ben to me is the difference between a lot of players most of the time. Ben was a pampered Aussie who was always better than everyone he faced because he was more physically gifted not skilled. Hence being told he was going to be in the NBA and going to be good in the NBA Giannis is from a family that emigrated to Greece and fought for everything in their life because nothing was handed to them Their draft position says a lot on why one decided to grind and keep getting better for his family & why the other just coasted to get his "spotlight of fame"

[@onezero-10]

Exactly, at least he works on it and is not afraid to airball shots, heck KD even airballs his shots, it happens, but you at least gotta have some guts and do it, and this 6’11 joke has the bravery of a peanut, and he has more than a hundred million of contracts! Smh big time

Ben gets most of his points in transition and transition baskets decrease during the playoffs. Shaq needs to broaden his idea of "shooting" to "ability to put the ball in the basket". Shaq had post moves as his half court scoring package, Giannis's problem was that he had no half court moves, now he's a slightly below average spot up shooter in the half court to go along with his straight line drives to the basket. Ben has NO half court offense what so ever, he didn't at LSU, and you can't be a top player on a Championship team if you have no half court scoring package.

@Truth Teller Rick carsalle would not have blown two 20 point leads. He also wouldn't have lost tonight's game with Trae shooting 5/27. Heck Kerr wouldn't have blown this. Doc blew leads with the magics,clippers, and now this team. It's hilarious how the clips are in the conference finals now and he's out again in the second round. Having the most game 7s means you can't close out. Expectially when you also lost the most game 7s.

@Truth Teller ty lue obviously he took doc old team to conference finals without best player he would of made Ben shoot

Ben Simmons has allowed the game to get in his head and now he is scared…

[@Optimus-Prime-Rib]

A hard thing to overcome. Especially now…

[@dakaridavis1276]

The sad part is he siked himself out when in reality his expectation (shooting wise) is on the floor everybody wants he to be better and he just won’t

When the fans were booing him when dribbled at he start. It was getting to him

That part!

Ben Simmons could never shoot ever you let the median commercials get in your head Ben Simmons and Draymond Green have the worst contracts in the NBA they’re literally paid over $100 million to do Absolutely nothing on offense

[@Kornreis]

It's really crazy to me how the Hawks ran into 2 teams which had some of their stars completely malfunctioning. How did nobody have concerns about Ben possibly being such a liability on offense. And how could the MIP be such a disappointment. I don't think we will see such a level of failure from the Bucks, but you know, anything is possible 😎 Go Hawks 😎

When Simmons passed that wide open dunk I know it was over

[@nddavi58]

me too

[@TraGamer1606]

I have watched and played basketball my whole life. Usually there some convoluted basketball strategy that wasn’t done as to why a team lost… this time I have nothing. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BASKETBALL AFRAID TO SHOOT LIKE BEN SIMMONS! IM NOT EVEN A SIXERS FAN, IM A LAKER FAN, BUT MY GOD.. HE HAS A WIDE OPEN LAYUP AND HE THROWS IT TO A TEAMEATE BEING DOUBLE TEAMED. MY GOD!

[@tornatic1983]

Yep cause on that play he was afraid of being fouled on the dunk attempt and having to shoot free throws. If he really has a desire to be great he'll be in the gym the rest of the summer working on getting consistent at least mid range shot and shooting thousands of free throws

[@andrewokamoto]

he needs a sports psychologist

[@sirineuantonio1622]

True man, from a Celtics fan. That kid is not a NBA material.... He plays as under 14 or 15 player.

[@deerinheadlights9784]

@@andrewokamoto 👏🏽 agree. I wonder if he’s working with one already. Would be surprised if he’s not. Hopefully puts in a lot of mental health work this offseason with his basketball work.

Then you must've never seen Draymond. Lol
