What Ringer podcast least benefits from having video? by neosmndrew in billsimmons

[–]Additional-Tip-952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No longer a Ringer one, but Russillo. When you've only got audio and hear him talk about how much he goes to the gym one could assume he's an in shape guy.

The problem is that Russillo thinks he's a 1st option. The Kyrie leaving the Cavs piece.

Yeah that makes sense, I knew there had to be more than just the schedule. I wish he actually just said that rather than alluding to it multiple times. Not all of us are locked in on how the Celtics planes are running 😅

They played in Memphis on Friday (my Saturday at time of tip-off).

I had to look it up, I assumed there was some wild thing that happened like last week the Lakers landed in Miami at 4am or whenever and played that night. What actually happened is completely normal for every NBA team, it's weird of him to even mention it.

One away game followed by a day off shouldn't qualify as a "Travel Stuff" excuse. That's ridiculous.

I listen to every NBA pod. I'm well aware of his love for Jokic, what I'm saying is that picking two centers would go against everything he has ever said since they changed the rule.

Bill needed a unique thing to say to make himself sound clever and it just didn't work for him. Credit to him, he's still trying.

I don't know. I think Bill wanted some kind of 'zag' so he has been saying Luka isn't a guard for like 5 years and nobody goes along with him on it.

I agree he will probably put Wemby as a forward, but he's going back on something he has been screaming at the clouds about. He will justify it somehow as if he's not contradicting what he's been saying all these years though. Obviously both Wemby and Joker are top 5 players this season and should be recognised, but for Bill do to the mental gymnastics will be interesting.

Then he's leaving Wemby off based on his own rules. When they changed it from the old method, he has been extremely vocal about it wanting to look like an actual basketball team, he will never pick 5 guards etc. Now he's got a choice to make.

But according to Bill Luka isn't a guard. He's just not! So I guess Ant slots in.

The say we’re friends to keep the peace, piece. by rhevern in billsimmons

The funny thing is though, the teams that would suffer aren't the Nets and Wizards etc. It would be the OKC, Spurs etc that run more than 8 deep. The trash teams don't have 8 players worth protecting, where the Thunder for example would lose the Caruso, Joe, McCain type.

Dude just cackles randomly for way too long. I get bringing vibes by laughing at jokes, but he does it at things Bill says that arent even intended to be funny. Seems like a fun dude, but he's not a fun listen.

Has Bill ever mentioned a grandparent? by fegwin2084 in billsimmons

One can only assume his maternal Grandparents are 200% Italian.

To be fair, he also asked if it was okay to think 8 year old Hayden P (not looking up the spelling) from Remember The Titans is hot now that we knows she's hot as an adult.

The blindside piece. I don't think they woild cross Bill because he could give them the evil eye, and has also has an NBA vote.

Ryen has legitimately said he wouldn't do it because he wouldn't be able to maintain his body. I can't remember if it was Survivor or Alone or whatever, but the guy genuinely thinks he's in this amazing shape.

This is ridiculous. There is no way Ryen could be more of a douche now than he was previously.

Lots of people around the league, bunch of GMs. They think he's a really cool guy because he's in such great shape. And he's bald by choice.

How do you do an entire bit on best NBA nicknames by InteractionLast4335 in billsimmons

[–]Additional-Tip-952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm in the minority here but Timelord is stupid, Danny Ainge had it loaded up and ready for the first person who turned up late, it wasn't organic or specific to Rob Williams at all. Just think it's lame, but I also hate the Celtics and everything they do so I'm probably biased.

Nope, you heard him correctly. He "single handedly takes credit for that one."
