The Nets played for Ben Simmons on Thursday night because he wasn’t able to be out there with them. In the process, they also found out a little about their group — and picked up their best win of the year.

A disappointing 3-1 NBA night. 76ers were awful 4% loser. Warriors-Nuggets stays UNDER for 2%, Seth Curry & Tobias Harris go OVER on scoring props, 1% each. Lost juice. Friday’s card is massive – college & pro – a 5% winner & FREE play at wt.buzz/tm will be available – 12:45 AM

If you accounted for era, how much different would the all-time 3-point list look like?
James Harden just passed Reggie Miller for 3rd.
Miller is the only player inside the top 25 who played most of his career prior to the 2000s.
Obviously the game has changed.
But how much? – 12:35 AM

This is the most in demand 76ers ticket in over a decade going by ticket prices.
All to boo Ben Simmons, a player WHO ISN’T EVEN PLAYING!

The WiFi here in Philly is awful, but here’s what’s happened:

Said this one was a drive not a flight, planes don’t help. Adds it’s a “good thing for him to come back and experience it and get some of it out of the way.”

Made it to the Garden just in time for the Marquette-Creighton tipoff at the Big East tournament – a lot of scouts made the trip to Manhattan from Brooklyn.

As if past six months weren’t enough, here are some quotes from Ben Simmons to get you fired up for tonight:
“When you can hoop, you can hoop. I feel like my IQ is very high… it’s a mismatch every time I step on the floor.”
“My creativity is probably something you can’t teach” – 2:54 PM
