2021-22 NBA Thread: Bill Simmons furiously recording 2.5 hour long pod about how Boston is still better than Golden State (1 Viewer)

[wilked]

Tatum a no show tonight. 
 

heckuva third by the Warriors 

 

[bostonfred]

Tatum can't hit buckets but at least helped on d after his own miss. He needs to get hot in the 4th to have a chance

 

[bostonfred]

Big time follow up by time lord erased by the iggy 3

Golden state scored 38 in the 3rd quarter holy crap

 

[Jayrod]

Boston had a crapton of defensive breakdowns that quarter, just making mistakes, not communicating, not hustling, giving up rebounds, etc.

 

[Bossman]

Typical Celtics third quarter

 

[bostonfred]

Tatum 3/16

 

[ShamrockPride]

Tatum just gotta distribute at this point

 

[ShamrockPride]

Brown picking up the slack let's go big man

 

[Jayrod]

Ok, that's something now. Brown feeling it a bit and team getting stops.

 

[Bossman]

Ok, that's something now. Brown feeling it a bit and team getting stops.

Getting stops ... or GS finally missing a couple. Either way, it's a game again.

 

[bostonfred]

Jaylen en fuego

 

[msudaisy26]

Brown is doing his best Jimmy Buckets. 

 

[msudaisy26]

This is just great. 

 

[bostonfred]

LETS GO BUFF A LO

 

[bostonfred]

You have got to be kidding me 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

This is wild

 

[wilked]

Ridiculous 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Derrick White the type of bench guy that win you rings holy crap

 

[Bossman]

Wow.

 

[Chaos Commish]

wow

 

[wilked]

Warriors got tired legs, can see it on their D 

 

[Jayrod]

D-White, huh?

Sure, why not.

 

[msudaisy26]

Warriors got tired legs, can see it on their D 

I just see the Celtics making shots and Brown going off. I don't think the defense has been bad. 

 

[SoBeDad]

Both teams with 18 3s. More than half the scoring.

 

[dickey moe]

This game is freaking great.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

You just knew the Celtics were gonna steal game 1.  Everybody assumed the Warriors would win this game.  Except one hot chick on some gambling show, who was going contrarian.  She actually knows her ####.

Congrats Bostonians, silencing the assassin.

 

[steeler6]

That lion movie looks as dumb as ####

 

[bostonfred]

Horford back to back threes to go up by 6?

 

[wilked]

I just see the Celtics making shots and Brown going off. I don't think the defense has been bad. 

Celts weren’t getting these shots in the third. Warriors were trapping, switching.  None of that now 

 

[dickey moe]

Please Draymond keep shooting 3s.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Time for another heart attack as Boston attempts to close 

 

[Bossman]

Celts weren’t getting these shots in the third. Warriors were trapping, switching.  None of that now 

Warriors are tired

 

[dickey moe]

Weird how Steph had that sick 1st quarter and then has done little since.

 

[bostonfred]

Horford with the last 8 points in the game plus a rebound and that foul

 

[Bossman]

Weird how Steph had that sick 1st quarter and then has done little since.

Celtics figured it out... Somewhat

 

[bostonfred]

Tatum with a 3 after the whistle

 

[bostonfred]

Weird how Steph had that sick 1st quarter and then has done little since.

He was pretty hot in the 3rd too

 

[Major]

outscoring the Warriors by 20 in the 4th 

 

[wilked]

He was pretty hot in the 3rd too

Klay still isn't his old self. If nobody else steps up, this could be very reminiscent of the Milwaukee series. Just put the clamp down on 1 guy and see if anyone else can win it for them.

 

[dickey moe]

Horford MVP.

 

[bostonfred]

This is happening 

 

[wilked]

Green with an awful game 

 

[dickey moe]

No home-court refs tonight.

 

[msudaisy26]

I will go out on a limb here and say that you are not going to see anything in these Finals that is "something that no one has ever done or will be extremely difficult to repeat". So, respectfully, I'm really not sure what that has to do with what I posted.

Also, it's fine if you "don't care if it is the same team doing it". I do in this case. I didn't with the 80s Lakers or Celtics or 90s Bulls, but that is my own taste. I never expected everyone would agree with my opinion.

Going to 6 finals in 8 years with a team with the same core is pretty rare and we have already seen 2 records broken in game 1. 

 

[brun]

Holy moly 

 

[wilked]

That should do it. 
 

what a game! 

 

[bostonfred]

Golden state in 5 predictions looking premature

 

[Chaos Commish]

 

[dickey moe]

Dayummm if the Celtics can play like this when Tatum is off, the Warriors might be in trouble.
