OMG, can you guyzzz believe it, the most popular/widely read basketball writer can accurately analyze the sport and make predictions?
It's unthinkable!!
I know you're being sarcastic...I just don't know why..
Because CB'ers are notorious for bashing Simmons as an idiot who knows nothing about hoops, every time he says something negative about the C's. But here he said something positive, and it actually came true. Now they will sing his praises as a genius.
Ah. Bill Simmons is still funny, Grantland is the stuff dreams are made of for your current-day 20-something basketball/culture nerd, and he still drives me absolutely nuts when he talks Celtics.
What bugs me is that he clearly is having a little something on the side with Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant. Makes him a little less desparate for a green win than I am.
I hate that.
His ego isn't really all that different than a lot of basketball nerds, so that doesn't bother me much.
I'm just gonna throw this out there, cuz it feels true:
Bill Simmons is just waiting for Steve Nash to retire so that they can move together to Pomfret, CT, and finally open up that combination bookstore/pet grooming salon like they've always wanted.
