Impressive comeback by the Knicks. Few min to go and they are up one. They’ve done it at the defensive end in true Thibs style

The Brooklyn Nets look like an amazing basketball team.

You mean a guy that plays PG couldn’t guard the freakiest PF athlete in the NBA?? I’m shocked lol
Calling out Simmons’ position is a bit disingenuous. Simmons is 6’10 and regarded as one of the best defenders in the league who can guard 1-5. I didn’t see the game but yeah….if Simmons struggled against Zion it’s because he struggled against him…not because he’s listed as a PG

That may not be true anymore.

It may not. But it wouldn’t be due to him playing PG lol
Well no.. dude has utterly destroyed himself over whatever the hell he's going through mentally. He's always had red flags concerning his brain going back to his high school days though.

Sure, he’s 6’10. How much does he weigh, though? He can’t handle a guy with zions size in the paint.

Ben Simmons weighs 230 and Zion weighs 285, but we are expecting Simmons to be able to guard him???

I’m 6’2 and weigh 220, there’s no way in hell a guy 6’10 that weighs barely more than that can handle Zion in the paint. Simmons is a string bean

That’s fine but Simmons has been regarded as someone who guards 1-5 and has the physical attributes to do so. I’m not saying Zion isn’t a bad matchup for mostly anyone…but Simmons being listed as a PG is a disingenuous excuse on why he struggled. It’s irrelevant. Simmons is bigger than a lot of PFs in the league. Zion is just a beast who’s going to bully even the most physically gifted bigs
