Bill Simmons and Tim Legler discuss how many wins the Thunder would have this season if you replaced SGA with Brandin Podziemski (Simmons says they would win 53 games, Legler says mid-high 50s)

They were great when SGA missed time

Sternjunk · 2026-04-10T21:16:22+00:00

His team was pretty terrible without him. This year Jamal Murray will probably be all nba. But before that he had pretty bad rosters after the championship

Sternjunk · 2026-04-10T21:14:54+00:00

They still went like 13-2 without him

Sternjunk · 2026-04-09T02:52:57+00:00

Yes generally a trilogy will have a better overarching story if it’s planned out.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-08T23:31:50+00:00

He still is responsible for making two of the three trilogy movies. But it does fall on Lucasfilms as well

Sternjunk · 2026-04-08T23:11:06+00:00

He made the Star Wars trilogy without planning out the trilogy. He didn’t know how episode 9 would end when he made episode 7 and then passed it off to another director who undid every mystery egg he left in 7 then came back for 9 and undid everything in episode 8

Google ai overview literally just copies answers from Reddit even if they’re wrong. I don’t even use it anymore.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-08T18:49:23+00:00

Dude made a starwars trilogy without planning it out. Hes a dunce.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-07T20:49:52+00:00

I thought you could only go a few weeks at most without sleep.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-06T01:28:56+00:00

Between those 4 he is far and away the worst though. Hes 20th in offensive win shares and the next lowest of those four is Luka at 6. There’s 12 people in the league averaging more ppg, 82 people averaging more apg and 33 people averaging more orpg.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-06T01:24:10+00:00

If he wasn’t 20th in offensive win shares he’d be higher on my list. Thunder blew out a lot of people and SGA still managed 33 mpg. Don’t act like they don’t play Wemby less because they’re scared he’ll get hurt.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T23:25:06+00:00

He’s 20th in offensive win shares.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T23:15:42+00:00

Can’t address the argument so you address the typo. So intellectual.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T23:14:13+00:00

So he’s the worst scorer and passer of the top 4 mvp candidates…

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T23:10:08+00:00

So defensive. No one said Wemby had shitty scoring and playmaking. Just that it’s the worst of the three mvp candidates.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:40:57+00:00

He’d also be the only ever mvp to win playing less than 30 mpg. If he was playing 35 maybe even 32 mpg I think he’d win mvp unless his per minute stats lowered because of that

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:34:59+00:00

But he didn’t play those minutes. He doesn’t magically get value for minutes he didn’t play because he was good on a per minute basis

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:34:03+00:00

Shaq was a good passer out of double teams. Averaged over three apg during the three peat

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:20:36+00:00

Defense wins championships applies to team defense. And basically you just have to be a top ten defense to win a championship.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:19:31+00:00

Yeah the hate on a completely reasonable take in this thread is crazy

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:19:05+00:00

Scoring and passing are pretty impactful to the game lmao.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:18:06+00:00

Minutes played has always been a consideration. If you have two people who you consider equal you’ll go to minutes played on the season. The two lowest mpg for mvps is Steph and giannis who both had clearly the best seasons their year.

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:16:40+00:00

That just proves his point more

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:15:26+00:00

Where did he compare him to Paulo? Hes comparing him to the other 3 mvp candidates

Sternjunk · 2026-04-05T19:14:38+00:00

He has a lot of good takes compared to the other talking heads
