Ben Simmons Misses Layup, Nets Win Big: Is This The End Of The Line?
So, the Nets just beat the Celtics pretty badly. It's tough to say exactly how badly, but let's just say the Celtics were not happy after the game. But what's even more interesting is what happened during the game. Remember Ben Simmons? The dude who used to be a good player, but then kinda… disappeared? Well, he was out there on the court, trying to make his comeback, and lemme tell you, it was… interesting.
That Layup, Man...
The Nets were up big, and they were trying to run the clock down. Simmons had the ball, he was all alone at the rim… and he missed the layup. Yeah, you heard me right. The layup. The easiest shot in basketball. He missed it. I'm not gonna lie, I felt bad for the guy. The whole arena went silent. It was like everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the worst.
Is This The Beginning of the End?
So, here's the thing. Simmons has been struggling to come back from his injury. And this layup miss is just another example of how far he's fallen. I know some people are saying that this is just a slump, but I gotta be honest, I'm starting to worry. Is this the beginning of the end for Ben Simmons?
Nets Still Look Like Contenders
But hey, even with Simmons struggling, the Nets still look like a real contender. They're playing good basketball, and they've got a lot of talent on the roster. If Simmons can figure it out, they might just be unstoppable. But for now, I'm just gonna keep watching, and hoping that he can get back to his old self. Because a healthy Ben Simmons is a scary, scary player.
What’s Next?
The Nets are back in action on Wednesday night, so it'll be interesting to see how Simmons responds to his missed layup. He needs to bounce back quickly if he wants to stay in the coach's good graces. And let's be real, if he can't make layups, there's no way he's gonna be on the court during crunch time. This is a big test for Simmons, and I hope he can pass it.
Because if he doesn't, well, that's going to be a big problem for the Nets. And for him. We're rooting for ya, Ben!
