Q: Would Ben Simmons have recorded a 30/15 game if he had played in the second half of the third quarter and at any point during the fourth quarter? A: It is not our place as humans to predict the future, but all signs point to “yes”. I’m going to go out and say it:…

Ben Simmons 26 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2018)
Ben Simmons’ candidacy for ROY of the Year has taken a hit due to the electrifying play of one Donovan Mitchell. It seemed like such a sure thing early in the year, but I guess that’s why they play the whole season with all its ebbs and flows. Simmons’ lack of a jumper is starting…

Ben Simmons needs to get back to regularly having 10 assist games/triple-doubles if he wants to guarantee his ROTY of the year trophy. As proven last year with the MVP voting, voters are easily swayed by arbitrary statistical accolades. 10-assist games and triple-doubles are simply compelling in a way that averaging a flat 20/3/3 isn’t….

The quality of my life is significantly improved if I get to make a Ben Simmons highlight video but it doesn’t have to contain his assists. It just frees up so much time for me to do other things if Simmons, instead of getting eight or ten or twelve assists, gets a paltry amount like…

I was gonna rag on Ben Simmons for being one assist shy of a trippy-dubby, since that is an indication to me that he doesn’t even care about arbitrary statistical achievements/the base-10 number system, but it turns out that he wasn’t even close to the required ten assists until Dario Saric went nuts in the…

I might have to reinstitute my BEN SIMMONS JUMPER ALERT program. For a while there it seemed like he was hitting one every game, or even more than one, but I’m not really seeing them anymore from him. Where did they go? Obviously, they’re not a good shot for him at this point, but since…

It’s happening. Ben Simmons is, as all good PGs do, beginning to get a little help from the scorekeepers when it comes to assists. You think John Stockton really earned all those assists? Sure, he was a great passer, but he was made greater by the liberal Jazz scorekeepers. I’m not surprised that it happened…

I guess it was a lot to hope for that this would be Ben Simmons’ literal “flu game”, a dominating masterpiece of everything basketball-related, a triple-double and a five-by-five rolled into one, a showcase of scoring both inside and out. That was what I was imagining in my most private fantasies, even knowing that a…

Ben Simmons stared at his coach in disbelief. “How many do I have to make?” Brett Brown, already in a sour mood, glared at Ben. “Was I not clear? Five thousand free throws. You embarrassed me tonight, and I don’t want what happened tonight to ever happen again. Five thousand makes from the stripe, then…

You might think I’m dissing Ben Simmons by mentioning the fact that he didn’t dunk this game in the video title. I swear I’m not. I’m just trying to be helpful. There are a whole bunch of people out there who do not want to watch a Simmons vid if it doesn’t have Thunders from…
