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

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Jesus, that’s not even a ####### foul

I think Williams punched himself 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Jesus, that’s not even a ####### foul

Yup.  Notice they didn’t show blood on the towel?

 

[parasaurolophus]

Jesus, that’s not even a ####### foul

Dude. From this angle it is clearly a foul. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Way too much flopping in this game.

 

[ShamrockPride]

I love the commentators hyping up cutting a lead down to 12    Gotta keep the viewers intrigued

 

[NutterButter]

Tatum with another superstar effort.   

 

[Instinctive]

@Capella can't believe thread title ignores blockbuster trade of Christian Wood to Mavs for Boban. 

 

[Mr. Soup Nazi]

Some people celebrating a little prematurely here.  A lot of time left.

 

[modogg]

that was a pretty steal by Curry there

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Traveling call in an NBA game 

Warriors shot selection awful lately 

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

That no call was a huge swing

 

[modogg]

Tatum deserves some credit, he does seem to be doing less crying after misses and is getting back on defense. that is a positive

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Curry with zero respect on the drive.

 

[AAABatteries]

Horrible 

 

[Navin Johnson]

That no call was a huge swing

which one?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Think 10 might be a bit too much. Feel like Steph will hit a few big shots here to close it.

 

[identikit]

One quarter left

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

which one?

Exactly 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Horrible 

Celts are playing smarter than Warriors now

Refs giving some…..interesting extra help in the 3rd quarter

 

[Navin Johnson]

Think 10 might be a bit too much. Feel like Steph will hit a few big shots here to close it.

He'll sit the first 3.  Warriors will have all hands on deck offensively while he's out

 

[identikit]

Brown such a klutz with the ball

 

[NutterButter]

Speaking of questionable calls

 

[AAABatteries]

That’s a bad call too 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

That’s a bad call too 

Yup.  Great block.

 

[NutterButter]

That was a clear hook by Poole

 

[ShamrockPride]

Steph back in and Boston could only muster going down by another 2.

 

[modogg]

it is crazy how much better Boston can look when they have some ball movement and a guy in the paint for offensive rebounds. 

 

[modogg]

Robert Williams would be so good if he just controlled his body. great block on the 3 point line, but then smacks Poole in the head after he blocks it. no call, but at least a handful of plays that Robert Williams gets away with out a call siply because he doesn't control his body. if he gets that by next year, will certainly be fun

 

[Capella]

Some people celebrating a little prematurely here.  A lot of time left.

If the warriors blow this lead then we’ll laugh at them too idgaf

 

[NutterButter]

Tatum oof

 

[AAABatteries]

Klay needs to stop ####### shooting

 

[thecatch]

Klay is killing them. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Celtics can't make a stop. Dubs got this.

 

[Navin Johnson]

Celtics can't make a stop. Dubs got this.

Letting them get the Horford matchup too easily

 

[mr. furley]

Klay is killing them. 

well, they are up 12

 

[identikit]

22 

Sheesh

 

[Capella]

Letting them get the Horford matchup too easily

Defensive MVP just standing in the corner while Horford gets cooked. Embarrassing. 

 

[Alex P Keaton]

well, they are up 12

Could be up 25

 

[AAABatteries]

When did 12 points become some huge lead in the NBA??

 

[thecatch]

well, they are up 12

The combo of some real dumb fouls and his reckless shooting have helped keep it relatively close. 

 

[steeler6]

The moment was to big for Tatum. 

 

[Navin Johnson]

Defensive MVP just standing in the corner while Horford gets cooked. Embarrassing. 

He got torched by Curry earlier and just shoved him in the back as he blew by.  Williams is easily the best defender for BOS.  Smart just an embarrasing flopper

 

[Capella]

He got torched by Curry earlier and just shoved him in the back as he blew by.  Williams is easily the best defender for BOS.  Smart just an embarrasing flopper

Crazy they gave him that award. 

 

[Navin Johnson]

When did 12 points become some huge lead in the NBA??

I'm with you on this one.  Nice to have three 90% FT shooters down the stretch though

 

[Mr. Soup Nazi]

When did 12 points become some huge lead in the NBA??

When the team behind has 22 turnovers and their "stars" look shook.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

The moment was to big for Tatum. 

He’s a very good offensive player. 

 

[identikit]

Kill shot by Curry

 

[ShamrockPride]

I don't see any reason why GS can't repeat next year. Mavs still need a piece or two and time to develop. CP3 another year older.

Curry gonna end up with 5 rings and 6 honestly isn't out of the question if things fall right.

 

[Navin Johnson]

No urgency from BOS.  Letting them bleed clock.  Not running the ball up the floor on offense.

 

[Major]

I guess we now know why the Warriors were favored.
