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

[Navin Johnson]

GS doing a good job so far keeping BOS off the line considering how long they had the bonus. 

 

[identikit]

Draymond decent tonight

 

[wilked]

So… end of the half  

9 turnovers

3-15 from 3

4-9 from the line

I’d assume they are down 20+ 
 

on the other hand they better get their head lut of their ### quickly 

 

[Mister CIA]

Do we say "Wiggins" the same way they said "Newman" on Seinfeld?

Frosty does

 

[mr fancypants]

It's got to be a riot if your sitting close to papa Gary Payton in the stands.

 

[wilked]

This is the risk if you don’t bury the Celts once you have them down 

 

[dickey moe]

Well things changed quickly.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

This is the risk if you don’t bury the Celts once you have them down 

Yep

 

[ShamrockPride]

The help is real slow on those Tatum double teams

 

[ShamrockPride]

Celtics should be up right now, but their turnovers keeping them down by 2 or 3

 

[ShamrockPride]

Wow 

 

[Tin Cup]

Damn.  Where has THIS team been for the past three quarters?

 

[wilked]

Warriors D gone to hell 

 

[wilked]

Celts started 0-12, since 8-8 from 3

crqzy 

 

[msudaisy26]

Now the Warriors looked jet lagged. Can't make a bucket and aren't playing any defense

 

[Drunken knight]

Warriors 3/21 from 3

 

[ShamrockPride]

Celtics NEED to be up, even by 1, by the end of this quarter.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Poole with the dagger

 

[identikit]

Damn, Poole

 

[identikit]

Curry with the dagger

 Or Poole

 

[wilked]

Great quarter by Celts. 
 

helluva game so far 

 

[Navin Johnson]

GS needs to hang on while Curry sits

 

[wilked]

Ime obviously prioritizing Curry on defense, so far so good. Jaylen and Smart need to keep penetrating, force GS to foul, they’ve got a few guys in trouble. Push into the paint…

 

[msudaisy26]

Great quarter by Celts.

Starting to agree with Capella. This is pretty bad basketball. It is unpredictable though. 

 

[msudaisy26]

Wiggin almost broke the backboard, on a 3 point attempt, and he was wide open

 

[ShamrockPride]

This one over. Boston falling cold again in the 4th.

 

[wilked]

“Largest lead of the night by Golden State” - Breen is such an idiot 

 

[SoBeDad]

This one over. Boston falling cold again in the 4th.

Waaay to early. Both teams have been streaky. The Heat-Celtics series also had big runs.

 

[identikit]

LOL at thinking this is over

 

[msudaisy26]

“Largest lead of the night by Golden State” - Breen is such an idiot 

I am glad I am not going crazy. I thought I heard that and I was like no I am just tired. 

 

[Navin Johnson]

I wish I could agree with you

This is kind of his thing. He overreacts to everything. 

 

[Navin Johnson]

Wiggin almost broke the backboard, on a 3 point attempt, and he was wide open

Looked like he was trailing in transition.  That's not really his game.

 

[SoBeDad]

Naked sunbathers by Pier 39.

 

[identikit]

LOL @ Poole acting job

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What a flop.

 

[The General]

I’m rooting for GS but those are some #### calls there on Smart. Like 3 in a row.

 

[ShamrockPride]

This is kind of his thing. He overreacts to everything. 

Well if nothing else, I'm glad to know I have a "thing" in here.

 

[Desert_Power]

LOL @ Poole acting job

Really frustrated Smart there

 

[wilked]

LOL @ Poole acting job

Very hatable dude. Would want nothing to do w him on my team 

 

[mr. furley]

my favorite thing about these playoffs is watching Jaylen Brown look like the anesthesia just started wearing off his hands and he's relearning how to use them again

 

[msudaisy26]

Looked like he was trailing in transition.  That's not really his game.

Maybe not, but you can smash the backboard with a 90 mph fastball either.

That is a great description. I feel like Poole is like that with his legs when he over dribbles.

Hit the glass rim high.  He was offline.  It happens.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Brown jeebus dude

 

[Desert_Power]

Wiggins at both ends

 

[wilked]

So many turnovers 

 

[Tin Cup]

For as talented as they are, the Celtics are so maddeningly inconsistent.  Not just game-to-game but quarter-to-quarter.

 

[Frostillicus]

gosh darn Wiggins WTH.
