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]

Turns out Currys ankle is not broken after all. He had us all worried….

 

[msudaisy26]

Seems like Smart is carrying the ball everytime he does that dribble fake pass. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Kerr fired up

 

[Anarchy99]

I thought there was a foul that caused Pritchard to travel. Then they called a foul after. IMO, should have been a foul on the floor and no free throws. 

 

[identikit]

Pritchard looks like the underhand free throw kid from Hoosiers

 

[msudaisy26]

Green is just awful right now.

My son and I both said the same thing

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Green is just awful right now. 

His legs are shot.  Dude is basically done.

 

[msudaisy26]

Nice move and finish by Brown. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Weird to see a Warriors player shoot FTs

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Mister CIA]

Casual fan here.  Whoa!

Love Robert Williams.

Derrick White = GoSpursGo!

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Both teams have reasons to feel good going into halftime.

Celtics have been the better team most of the half, have seemed more comfortable / less frantic, generally just in control even when down.

GS should feel good to be within 5 pts despite shooting 29% on 3’s, having 13 fouls to 8 for Boston, 5 FTs to 15 for Boston.  Even on rebounding.

2nd half should be interesting.  Draymond looks horrible.  Wonder what both teams do for adjustments at half.

 

[Mister CIA]

The Popovich coaching tree deserves more love.

 

[Capella]

The Warriors would be better out there with an actual podcaster than Draymond. 

 

[brun]

Love listening to K-Perk

 

[Charlie Harper]

Draymond is completely useless on offense. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Draymond is completely useless on offense. 

Yup.  He needs to sit out.

Great acting by Brown on that drive.

 

[msudaisy26]

Draymond is completely useless on offense. 

He is worse than useless, he has at least 2 turnovers every game that lead to easy buckets. His defense and rebounding hasn't been what you need from a guy that gives nothing on the offensive end. 

 

[msudaisy26]

Green needs his own thread to discuss how bad he is. Otherwise it will overrun this one. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Celtics in 5 or Warriors in 7.  There's no inbetween.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

And 1

 

[msudaisy26]

And 1

The first on Curry complained about with White probably wasn't a foul, that last one on Tatum was. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

The first on Curry complained about with White probably wasn't a foul, that last one on Tatum was. 

The first one definitely wasn’t.  The last one absolutely was.   It happens though.

 

[msudaisy26]

Lol no one touched Tatum

 

[NutterButter]

Curry, please never retire.  So fun to watch.  

 

[Anarchy99]

Boston has to be relatively happy about how the third quarter went. Avoided the onslaught from the other games. If they play their normal fourth quarter, they should be in a decent spot. 

 

[dickey moe]

That was like a tortoise vs The Flash. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

I thought GS deliberately expended less energy in the 3rd this game.  They’ve looked worn out in the 4th this series.  Think they are used to overwhelming teams physically in the 3rd and breaking them…..but that just doesn’t work with the Celtics.

 

[Charlie Harper]

Draymond needs to sit. Moody or Kuminga can't be worse.

 

[AAABatteries]

Lol

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Curry needs to make better passes.  Too many dumb turnovers.  Ditto for the whole team.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Nice flop Smart

 

[msudaisy26]

It might be too late, but Kerr deserves credit for pulling Green in the 4th. 

 

[identikit]

A close game, finally

 

[msudaisy26]

What a game. 

 

[dickey moe]

Curry is just awesome to watch.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Boston starting to get a little too addicted to the 3 late here...

 

[identikit]

Odd timeout?

 

[SoBeDad]

Curry is just awesome to watch.

The closest the NBA has to the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

[NutterButter]

Odd timeout?

Gotta get Draymond's $25M butt back on the bench

 

[msudaisy26]

Gotta get Draymond's $25M butt back on the bench

I gave you a sad emoji, but it is sad because it is true. The Warriors look better without Green. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Take a 2 ####ers

 

[identikit]

Unconscious

 

[NutterButter]

LOL.  Curry.   Just won't let this team lose.   

 

[NutterButter]

That pass from Curry to Green in the corner was unreal.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Boston deserves this L. Lost focus trying to go 3 for 3 with GS late. Dumb.

 

[Tin Cup]

Boston deserves this L. Lost focus trying to go 3 for 3 with GS late. Dumb.

15 turnovers and 5 missed free throws didn’t help either.

 

[Anarchy99]

Not sure how that was a foul on Horford. Steph cleared out with his left arm. 

 

[msudaisy26]

Not sure how that was a foul on Horford. Steph cleared out with his left arm. 

They allow almost every offensive players to use that off arm like that as long as they don't extend it, all the players use it and any contact is almost always a foul on the defense.
