The Nets beat the bucks by a relatively comfortable margin, and are a whopping 13-1 in their last 14 games.
Simmons played a huge part tonight and did all the little things you are looking for to win, and played unreal defence tonight. Lead both teams in +/-
With the Cavs/Bucks losing and Celtics not far apart, The Nets are gunning for that #1 seed

Had Giannis in the Benitentiary, absolute game changer
Give him his apology letter
Yo, I LOVE it when he does a chasedown steal. I’ve never seen someone his size with his speed.
What ben simmons does doesn’t show on the stat sheet. He was disruptive and led to so many turnovers for the bucks.
Edit:Giannis has 7 turnovers…
Lots of ppl don’t watch games ig
3 steals too. The ball movement with him in the game is just so awesome
5 offensive rebounds. 3 steals. Man he was doing everything tonight. Team high +26
Team high +26. That Simmons steal Kyrie transition 3 was the dagger.
He had 5 offensive rebounds too. He was out there hustling on both ends.
Benitentary
All that ramping up finally paying off
If Nets did not had the off season drama, they’ve would’ve had a Christmas game. Knicks vs Nets would’ve been so nice especially when both are playing well
These Nets guys are good it turns out
The fact that the Bucks did some historic brick laying tonight from start to finish and Giannis still didn’t attempt a single shot in the 4th quarter when the clock would dictate he take over speaks volumes as to how good he was on defense
Ben as a complimentary third piece is perfect.
There’s a world where the Sixers hire a decent coach, keep Jimmy Butler, and win a championship tbh
Now he is becoming underrated his impact on d is insane.
This is the thing, everyone complains about Ben not being able to score because for the longest time he was playing with guys who couldn’t score. Now KD and Kyrie can do that for him and he can focus on what he does best, defense.
This is the Ben I wanna see. Definitely needs to still up his aggression towards the rim but this bodes well.
Fuck the shooting, if he can just do this, the Nets can win the whole thing
Really plays like 2016 draymond minus the three ball.
And people thought ben was ass, glad hes coming back to prove em wrong. just stay healthy
Nets ruined Christmas for so many subredditors tonight lmfaoo
love seeing guys like him play healthy.
r/NBA on suicide watch tonight with Ben and Scottie both playing great
Durant got his draymond
He’s so fucking fast, it’s crazy for someone his size. His defence is simply incredible, he’s active on the glass on both ends and we know his passing is top tier. Hope he can keep this up heading towards playoffs because the Nets are looking to go deep this year
Vaughn turned this team around so fast. Ben was the defensive anchor obviously but the whole team is playing great team defense.
His weakness is scoring and he has 2 of the best scorers in the league to lean on.
Good to see him getting back to health and playing well.
Good for him. He had a rough start after a very extended period off and people forgot he was an all star.
