34 comments

1. The Lakers beat the suns once not twice

2. Great video! Great to see Suggs get some well deserved recognition

3. If the Hornets had ANY interior defense they'd bump up like 3-4 spots

4. As a Raptors fan, although my team is not going to be very good, this team has been very fun to watch for me. 2-6 now, but 4 of those losses are clutch time loss, it's the perfect "trying to tank" but "trying to be watchable" team for me. I can't believe I'm saying that, but I really enjoy my team so far.

5. Cade, Suggs, Jalen Johnson and Sengun before Scottie in a redraft is absolutely BONKERS. Mobley and Barnes circle each other as #1 and #2 switching back and forth every few months.

   None of those other guys are near their level.

6. The Bucks has one of the worst coaches of all time.

7. The hate for Scottie Barnes is crazy

8. If atl is a bottom 7 team I could see the spurs making a move for a better wing at the deadline for a playoff push. Maybe Ingram or Cam Johnson on the nets

9. Suggs better defensively than D. White??? Crazy

10. Scottie Barnes goes 6th in a redraft??? Worst take Bill's made.

11. GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY EVER!!!!!!

12. Scottie over Suggs is kinda wild

13. Doc and Ham worst coaching duo in the League…. but he's your pal so you cant say anything bad about him

14. Bill loves talking about shooting wads

15. Bill being a Celtics homer shouldn’t take away from the fact that Lakers foul baiting is crazy, and Laker homers lap it up as if they’re the only team that attacks the rim.

16. 19:00 so now we are making up facts to suport our agenda? LMAO

17. Herb Jones is trash

18. The clippers won't be bad in the regular season

19. You can tell who his friends are and who he doesn’t like takes extremely biased

20. Zion is in year 6?! Jesus Christ time flies … then again I guess I’ve barely acc seen the guy on the court

21. Bill is so wrong about the raptors it’s not even funny ! This guy only watches the Celtics. Doesn’t even mention sga as mvp candidate… like really.

22. Zion is in year 6?! Jesus Christ time flies … then again I guess I’ve barely acc seen the guy on the court

23. When JJ gets them to the western conference finals, then start talking about he's better than Darvin hamm. Calm down

24. Okc hasn’t played any good teams yet

25. Thunder aren't fully healthy yet either.

26. Classic Bill Simmons complaining about the lakers getting calls (that’s correct btw) and never saying a word about how the Celtics get the same ass treatment lmao

27. the free throws are ridiculous, i mean just silly…

28. Dude the Lakers didn't beat the suns twice suns are 6-1

29. The Suns are 6-1 but the Lakers beat them twice? 🤔

    Keep sleeping on Phoenix Bill

30. As a Dallas fan I appreciate you putting them 4th when they’ve lost a couple stinkers they needed to play better in. They have all the talent they need, but haven’t gotten everyone playing together yet. Marshall is much better than I thought and will be the key. But they need Grimes to get comfortable and find a way to get Klay 5-6 open shots a game (he can take 3-4 tough shots once he has a few makes under his belt) and for Washington to get some consistency.

    They have the potential to be the best team in the league, but they can also be unfocused, lazy, and inconsistent enough to lose to almost any team on a bad day. Hopefully they figure it out soon before it’s too late to catch OKC.

31. What idiot decided an old 'No D Dame' was going to improve the Bucks? 😂 That guy needs to be fired.
    They should probably trade Yanis for an absolute haul and reset over the next three-four drafts.

32. We really doing this East stinks thing again, so lazy

33. suggs is NOT third in a redraft relax

34. Shooting Wads😂
