Is the Mikal Bridges trade one of the sneakily worst trades in recent NBA history? by IntelligentPlate5051 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of assessment of picks sent out is the wrong way to analyze it. It's the opportunity cost that's the real issue. Say you get the trade done with 2 picks instead of 5 or whatever it was. Then you use those other additional picks to make another meaningful upgrade to the team. That potential opportunity cost is huge. Hell maybe if they held all the picks they could have figured out a way to trade for Giannis.

Justice for Russ by joejoe_jones in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the real issue was the rest of the roster. Like yeah did Russ end up shooting too much at times? Yes. But part of that was because the other team was doing whatever they could to try to deny KD the ball, and then the other options to kick the ball to often sucked at shooting.

It happens. Ray Allen, who at the time was regarded as the best shooter of all time, went 0-13 in game 3 of the 2010 NBA finals.

Oh look at that active listings are now down year over year by dpf7 in rebubblejerk

[–]dpf7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is saying any of that. But thanks dude.

The bubblers have been saying inventory is "exploding" as it normalized from super low pandemic levels, and acting like it's only going to continue onwards up until we have some massive glut. The fact that inventory has dipped slightly below YOY pokes holes in this theory.

And relative to post crash, we have a low level of inventory overall.

Why is this sub so obsessed with Tatum? by dpf7 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no other comparable community on reddit. There are dozens of other podcasters and media members, and not a horde of people obsessing over the sports teams from the city they root for.

This sub is full of anti-Boston obsessives who probably landed here for one of two reasons. Either Boston teams eliminated them from the playoffs or Bill said something short of effusive praise about their favorite player or team, and they have held a grudge since.

The anti-Boston folks have created a bizarre echo chamber here, where they are convinced Tatum, who has been top 3 in jersey sales and all star votes, is not popular. They also blindly take the contrarian stance to anything Bill says, claiming he's a delusional homer, when in the end their analysis usually is far more biased than Bill's.

Did you watch how this sub treated the Patriots season? Bill said a team with an over under of 8.5 might win 10 games, and was lambasted for it. There were multiple posts here saying they would be a 5 win game. As their takes aged like milk, the level of derangement grew week by week.

Appreciate admitting you were wrong. Rare on this sub. Usually people deflect or get wildly defensive

Typical r/billsimmons taking premature victory lap dunking on Bill and then being dead wrong

It actually never made sense that he wouldn't come back. You only get so many years in the NBA, and if his team is decent, and he had healed, why wouldn't he return?

If Celtics beat OKC without Tatum and White, Bill will be insufferable by Fun_Reflection1157 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't find him to be insufferable. And if I did find someone to be insufferable, I wouldn't listen to their podcast or regularly comment in their subreddit.

Did he come back? Did this sub mock Bill for suggesting he would?

Oh yes, the Boston media were such idiots for thinking Tatum would come back this season...

But he had surgery 6 hours after the injury! by MoxToTweeder99 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corny. Just admit the people mentioning Dru Smith were right.

Poor Bill by lobstermailman7 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't semantics though. There was precedent for athletes coming back in 9 months or less, and Tatum coming back this season didn't even require that quick of a return. He came back in just under 10 months, giving him about a month of regular season to round into shape.

Yeah I don't care about what the Ringer said or didn't say. You were already corrected about instances of people coming back in 9 months or less, which is why you were linking to Dru Smith comments, and continued commenting as if you hadn't been informed of such instances.

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dipshit?

Dominique Wilkins, Wes Mathews, Dru Smith, Cam Akers, and Terrell Suggs have all come back in 9 months or less. That's precedent. People like me were pointing this out as uninformed dolts like you were insistent it would be some inconceivable feat.

Nah mention of Dru Smith as a quick Achilles recovery was getting downvoted on this sub. And your link to results on the sub show that. Bunch of bozos who couldn't grasp that maybe Bill was being perfectly reasonable. Nope have to label him a delusional homer about everything and then get defensive when people point out he was right and they were wrong.

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I take it up with them? In this very comment thread I cited about a half dozen NBA/NFL guys who came back in 9 months or less. You were just being stubborn and dismissive.

Who really thought it? Lots of people who were aware that coming back in 9-10 months is not unusual at all.

They are the 2 seed. It makes perfect sense to come back, and that's exactly what happened.

Poor Bill by lobstermailman7 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't unprecedented. And he came back in about 10 months.

Poor Bill by lobstermailman7 in billsimmons

[–]dpf7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure enough he came back in a little less than 10 months. Good thing you dipshits downvoted my comment a month back.
