[Slater] Ben: “I think I’m giving the ball up way too many times when I know who I am, I know I need to get to the rim and get buckets.“
Ben Simmons after going scoreless on just 3 shots in tonight’s loss:

FYI this post wasn’t meant to incite arguments against Ben or any other player, I just thought it was an interesting piece from his postgame.
Hopefully he’s actually gonna be aggressive next game. Loved how he played but only taking 3 shots is unacceptable
Can’t wait for him to score 7 next game
at least he’s aware lmao
This is lip service y’all. He used to say the same things in Philadelphia.
You have to hope it happens but it’s increasingly likely that that ~7 game run earlier in the year was just that
Glad you said it, now you gotta do it
Nets need kuzma as our third scorer along with an actual stretch 5. Zach Collins or Naz Reid pls!
Wow genius! How on earth did he work that one out
It’s annoying because it’s not like he can’t do it, he had that dominant scoring stretch earlier on the season.
It is just the lack of aggression on offense. If he were actually trying, there would be Philly level scoring.
I don’t know if it is a lack of trust physically or what but games where you can count his attempts on 1 hand are just crazy.
You get a few baskets just being on the floor and trying WTF!
His bag rlly worse than Rudy Burh
Ben played well in every regard besides for offense, hope the coach can hold him to his words in the press conference since we need an aggressive Ben right now and even when KD comes back.
Cmon ben we are literally asking you to give 5-8 points it’s ridiculous at this point
At least get some layups bro
Really feel kinda bad for him. I think he has some real demons when it comes to how he thinks things will go if he starts shooting the ball more
First step is admitting the problem
