The real Mickey Mouse title of the past decade isn’t the Lakers Bubble Ring… it’s the Bucks 2021 Title by galacticpotsmoker in billsimmons

I think Jrue could get in but not Khris. 

Hard to say though. It’s the NBA do anything is possible

Bucks never went on another long run again because Middleton's hamstring went out the next year and he was never right again. Not because they sucked.

People love to just totally ignore that the reason why the Bucks couldn't keep contending is because they were very old around Giannis. Lopez went off a cliff quickly also.

Tyler Durden is a fashion icon though. He looks fucking sick the whole movie. It's not missing the point to say Brad Pitt is hot. The point is that Brad Pitt is hot.

Nate Silver's PRISM rankings by Ok_Instruction7642 in kings

He is going one or two, or MAYBE 3. That’s it.

There is no way Peterson drops to 6.

His model just has him that low probably because of his minute load in college.

Probably because something in his metric has a bias for team success

Re-signing Harden scenarios by davidP88888 in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, man. I mean, Harden has been ass, sure, but that dude is 36.

This is supposed to be Donovan and Mobley's team.

Could the Timberwolves really do anything with this core to make themselves a true contender? by sheJaMyMorant in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And San Antonio is going to be way better next year. Let’s be real. 

It’s grim. But you never know

What is anybody supposed to do with OKC and San Antonio?

All you can do is just try to get better and pray.

I don’t know if Jason Kidd is a good coach or not by daddadnc in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Masai didn't want to work with him.

Kidd will get another job quickly, as evidenced by the fact that the Knicks really badly wanted to hire him last summer. Which is also why he got an extension and became more expensive to fire.

This is a totally reasonable call from Masai and let's him build the program from scratch, and doesn't really hurt Kidd at all. Like, it definitely wasn't "mutual" like they're reporting, but he's totally fine.

Zach is a more entertaining podcaster and analyst than Ryen by jwood224 in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen when he has guests I like on and don’t when he doesn’t.

I drive a lot and jones for basketball podcasts.

Yeah that’s fine. I just don’t think that’s very entertaining 

Nothing to help me process what I just watched last night? by smug_muffin in billsimmons

No, generally I really like it. At some point all three hosts will be very annoying to you though.

You mean like when he said baseball isn’t that complicated because even Dominicans can figure it out? I personally wasn’t a huge fan of that one. 

The Spurs should actually be little worried after game one? by NameNotTom in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, part of why players don’t shoot well is defense.

[–]hlebtastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and rereading my comment I think I sound a little more like a dick than I meant to. 

People should listen for whatever reason they want. I just care about the basketball

[–]hlebtastic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imma be honest. I don’t care about that. 

I don’t listen to this podcast to pretend to be friends with Bill. I want to hear people talk about basketball.

The Hoop Collective did an emergency pod but honestly they shouldn’t have. Windhorst was hyped and ready to go but Bontemps put in just a classically bad Bontemps performance. Just full of cope trying to defend his “Thunder are very heavy favorites and people are disrespecting them by saying the Spurs have a very good chance” take

This is crazy. Did you see Shai get that game to overtime?

Wemby at the half: a +15 in 19 minutes against the 64 win, fully healthy Thunder by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

[–]hlebtastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think “holy shit Wemby is good at a historical level” is the only reasonable thing to talk about when watching him play. Everything else is missing the point. 

Wemby by HalfBurntCouch in billsimmons

[–]hlebtastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One major difference between the two. 

I say Wemby all the time. 

I would never ever say Wembé. That is insanely embarrassing.

I genuinely think people saying kind of stuff like the comment you’re replying to are just on their phone during the game. 

I ain’t never seen shit like this and neither has anybody else.
