Ben Simmons (not) back for Game 4

Tell Durant to shoot the ball

This. Both Durant and Kyrie appeared afraid to shoot and miss yesterday. They both looked like the Boston defense was getting to them and spooked them out when it came time to deciding to shoot later in the 24 second clock.

Kyrie and Durant are quitters. Its what they do...

Kyrie quit on Lebron/the cavs and on the Celtics in the bucs series. KD blew a 3-1 lead to Golden state then then quit on OKC to go be carried by golden state. but then quit on them because he wasnt "the man"

I wouldnt be surprised if they pack it in tomorrow

Also,

theres no way that Ben simmons comes back in an elimination game right?

He might come back.

The only question is, will it be on the court playing or on the sidelines again in another weird outfit 

I personally think it'd be a terrible look if he decided not to play Game 4, but then why even announce it? Were the Nets that confident they'd win Game 3 and that Game 4 wouldn't be an elimination game? But honestly, the whole Simmons situation has been a mess and Simmons has already dealt with a ton of hate. He'll just deal with some more if he chooses not to play tomorrow.

I think he does.  They’re not winning four in a row without him, anyway.  Don’t think they will with him either, but what they’ve done so far hasn’t worked, so why not give it a try?

[SparzWizard]

Think he'll come in just to play heavy defense.

If we come out strong to start the game tomorrow I fully expect the Nets to fold.

[footey]

I’m going to the game tomorrow!! Woo hoo!!

Vegas still favors the Nets by 2 points. Im surprised. I think we will be ramping up Rob Williams more. KD just played 46 minutes.

Hmm.

He looked like Bozo

Acts like Alice in Wonderland

Nets are listing Ben Simmons as OUT for Game 4 vs. Celtics. A surprise as Simmons had been expected to play Monday as long as rehab was on course.

Hilarious comedy of errors

KD and Kyrie wish they could figure out a way to be OUT.

Edit: just saw you guys beat me to it!

Smart move by the Nets. It would be terrible to introduce him into that situation.

In all fairness, Nash was always noncommittal about a Ben Simmons return. It's really unclear where those rumors were coming from.

Would be painfully funny if Kyrie missed game 4 for one of his many at-the-ready excuses for sitting games. Not sure my sides would cope

I was half expecting the Nets injury report to list them both on there:

Kyrie Irving: bruised ego, Questionable
Kevin Durant: injured self confidence: Questionable
