X users crack up over the ‘Ben Simmons funny reaction meme’: ‘Is Ben Simmons even playing?'

If you're an NBA fan, chances are season after every season, there are news that Ben Simmons will sit out of the season due to injuries and other personal matters. But when he plays, oh boy, he plays!

At the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Brooklyn Nets game earlier, fans were shocked about the scores, making a lot of NBA fans poke fun at Ben Simmons and his team, the Brooklyn Nets.

Due to the score's big deficit, a lot of fans are questioning if Ben Simmons still plays or if he's just busy showing up but doing nothing.

Some NBA fans also joked that the Nets gave up and left the match ever before it was finished.

NBA fans also theorized that maybe the Nets played badly because they wanted to get Cooper Flagg of Duke University to play on their team.

With the scores between the Clippers and the Nets, some Nets fans were disappointed and confused as to why the Clippers' lead was big! And it's not only big, it's *big BIG*!

To make the game score light, some NBA fans joked that the Nets can't seem to find the net!

Other Nets fans, on the other hand, are hopeful, saying that maybe Ben Simmons will avenge the Brooklyn Nets and will come back stronger and greater than before.

"Ben Simmons will start the comeback." - a fan (@vrsaljak) said

Some users hilariously trolled the X thread and the Clippers and Nets score, saying that that's how they play NBA 2K even when the difficulty setting is 'Rookie'.

"Me when I play 2K on rookie difficulty." - an X user (@LuckyyPats) replied

Brooklyn Nets fans, no matter how sad the scores at their last game, even joked that this season is their tank season, and that's okay because the Brooklyn Nets will rebuild their team for a better chance at Playoffs. Let's cross our fingers that they will rebuild swiftly since their team is somewhat in a bad standing in the East!

"This is extreme Tanking." - an NBA fan (@DrakesPats) quipped

Other NBA fans observed Ben Simmons' gameplay ability, saying the was supposed to be the next LBJ (compliment).

X users also point out that the NBA battle between the Clippers and the Nets was a "blowout" competition, meaning, the Clippers left the Nets with crumbs!

"NBA ( National Blowout Association)" - one netizen (@DL2hunnid) said

Meanwhile, other fans reminisced about the Brooklyn Nets' glory days with Kevin Garnett.

Some say that a WNBA team can beat the Brooklyn Nets based on the latter's performance.

"A WNBA team could beat Brooklyn." - one (@UnbiasednBiased) noted

Others said that during the first quarter, the score was tied so they were confused as to what happened to the Brooklyn Nets.

What's next for the Brooklyn Nets and Ben Simmons?

Since their next game will be versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, let's just hope that the Brooklyn Nets will not tank, and let's manifest that they will have an intense but fun game against LBJ and his crew. As for Ben Simmons? We wish him luck and that may he recover from his injuries because let's admit it, he's a decent NBA player!
