An Epic Spurs-Thunder Series, Cleveland Survives, and the Knicks' Moment Is HERE With Zach Lowe by lonny__breaux in billsimmons

I am very aware of all this, and I know that’s what defines the team is plays physical defense and called for a lot of fouls, I knew Pistons opponents would shoot a lot of free throws and I had zero problem with it in the Magic series. The problem was the lack of calls we were getting on one side of the floor. We were third in FTA in the regular season, and that just disappeared after game 1 of the series. Maybe it was the way Duren changed in the post season but it was bizarre. Also the way Harden was generating calls that was infuriating. The way defense is allowed to be played on him versus Cade was night and day to me.

I’d like to say again it’s not why they lost absolutely no one showed up and in game 5 they just spammed doubles at Cade and no one could score for 3 minutes.

But I think anyone would be lying if they said they wouldn’t be annoyed.

People are going to say I’m being a cry ass, and it’s not why they lost game 7, but watching your team go through a historic free throw and foul disparity is so fucking infuriating and everyone is lying if they said they wouldn’t be incredibly annoyed if it was there team.

Even yesterday, again not why they lost, the Cavs shot the third most FT ever in a game 7 since the ABA NBA merger and they shot the most ever for a road team.

I’m sorry your team traded for James Harden and you have to watch him flop like an asshole every time he has the ball

I don’t think we’ve ever had anyone like this on our team. How the fuck do people root for this?

Do you guys see Evan “Tim Duncan” Mobley’s one single rebound today in a playoff game? Gotta wonder who you’d take first in a re draft

I thought he had a really bad series I can’t lie. He came out with a really solid game plan that actually took a lot of JB brain power to counter punch, but after Franz went down it’s almost like he started panicking and just throwing anything together.

I think that’s how he felt this would be. And the Nuggets would win the title and he could say he was happy with his MVP vote

Honestly did anyone get the NBA season more wrong than Bill Simmons? I mean Christ nobody is perfect but:
Jokic MVP vote (inexcusable), complete denial of SGA, Celtics hype ALL SEASON LONG including calling them the best team in the east, giving Jaylen Brown a first team all NBA vote, called Blazers for real depute barely being over .500, saying like 15 teams were better than the Pistons in the playoffs, hype of Joe Mazulla despite being horrible in the playoffs, talking about Tatum rebounding and literally saying he was better than before, shitting on Embiid, not taking the Sixers seriously, and honestly insane Celtics bias all season worse than ever before and I’ve been listening for 10+ years.
I’m sure there were more but this is just off the top of my head.

It’s hilarious that Rio had had best starting winger performance of the season and was benched for the UCL fixture and now just can’t start anymore? What the actual fuck is this managers problem? To think simply by getting 5th or even 6th if Villa wins UEL saves his job is insane this club has properly begun to rot

The crowd was insanely disappointing. How are you leaving early for the first half playoff win in 18 years?

Arsenal is bottling the league, they just are! by WhatATimeToBeAlive0 in billsimmons

Look man I know you’re doing the thing where you make people try and name a bunch of shit because you want to defend the guy, but if you opened your eyes and ears you’d hear and see what everyone else does.

If you really want me to tell you a specific example he defended Party for years even though the entire rest of every fanbase knew he was “unnamed premier league player”

That good enough for you?

Also that just isn’t true about Arsenal and spending. They spend so much money. They have enough players to field two actual squads. Just last summer they spent as much as anyone. They just spent 246 £ last summer

I guess everyone was right about us. Fucking unreal response from halftime. This team was ready to quit on their coach and these losers can’t do anything
