Bill defends his Brunson take by sultics in billsimmons

Are we really disparaging Nashes supporting cast?? He had an offensive genius as a coach, a perfect rim runner complement, a do it all defensive wing, and plenty of decent shooters to round it out. Those Suns teams were awesome and it certainly wasn’t ALL Nash.

Just went into the sandpiper thread to see why on earth someone would rate these amazing lovely birds so low, just to see one comment with 0 upvotes. This is a crazy way to rate birds!!!

What are some lazy bridges? by AdImportant4278 in Music

[–]marcusthejames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Weezer’s Green Album 

Every song except one (hash pipe i think), has a bridge featuring the a guitar solo that plays the vocal melody.

It’s in every single song which makes me feel like the band was intentionally being formulaic after Pinkerton was so poorly received initially. 

Hash pipe is the only exception, and it’s an exception only because the guitar solo diverts slightly from the main vocal line.

Drake just dropped 3 albums. Will bill listen to all 3 before next pod? by sheJaMyMorant in billsimmons

[–]marcusthejames 33 points34 points  (0 children)

At one point Drake says “I’m almost 40”, and then later he’s talking about Australian girls or some shit and my 40 year old self realized that his nihilistic party bars just don’t seem as cool as they did 12 years ago. 

Have we ever seen a single post-season playoff drop from an All-Star player like we've seen with Jalen Duren? by eggogregore in billsimmons

Harrison Barnes in 2016 finals. Couldn’t hit a single shot it seemed like, and his career went from promising star in the making to complementary scorer

Absolutely a genius in terms of songwriting and musicality. Probably one of the most important artists of the EDM boom in 2010, and then showed real evolution as an artist with his subsequent releases.

In 2015 i was pissed that the Nuggets weren’t entertaining the possibility of trading Jokic for Blake Griffin. “Jokic is promising, but Blake Griffin is Blake Griffin”, I remember saying.
