Better Win for the Mavs or Worse Loss for OKC? | The Bill Simmons Podcast 

he knows ... no team will ever win a ring when Jayson Tatum is ur best player.

@@whoknows20232 Wow. Bold. I think he could win one. But we haven’t played or coached D-1 or higher, so we’re just casuals.

@@draftmagicagain1000 he can absolutely win one but not as the best player. He‘s a Paul George. Great talent but not tough enough mentally. And jaylen brown isn’t the sidekick he needs anyway. It’s fine no shame in that

Probably 10000

seriously

Not as much as Tony (You Owe Me) Brothers!

"Then you meet a guy at a park and he asks what happened, and you're like: oh, he had next on Exum Hayward 1 on 1" 🤣🤣🤣 I swear Rusillo be saying the wildest shit

No better guest for Ryen than Bill

House from dc

They do this every Sunday , it’s nothing new

@@scandelez streets sleeping on House. Particularly tipsy House.

They are great together. Ryen calls Bill out when he needs to be called out, and Bill gets Ryen to be less conservative in his takes

Luka has the same issue as Tatum where he was very good at 18 and now everyone thinks he’s old because he’s been dominant for over half a decade. People forget Luka just turned 25

@@siniister710nobody forgets how young Tatum is, they won’t let us

@@Shortballa11no they really do he got unreal expectations

@@siniister710he has NOT been dominant for half a decade 😂😂

If Luka was on those Boston teams he would have at least 1 ring. Can't convince me otherwise ​@@siniister710

Lamelo doesn't play

They also facilitated Lively to Dallas too. Two pieces that ruined their playoff run.

Presti's achilles heel is he never knows when the window is here and its time to cash in some chips

There's a whole page full of reasons not to like Luka. None have to do with his skills with the ball.

I can't stand Luka. If he played as hard as he complained he might become a top ten player of all time.

@@Earl_E_Burdhe’s 25 and competitive sob

You clearly don’t listen because if you’re talking about Bill he’s been all-in on Luka early and has A TON of Luka stock.

​@jamhotchicken yeah before kyrie came to Mavs. All I hear from him is just against Luks

Hahah same

Ive never seen a fanbase take after their superstar more than Mavs fans. All they do is cry and whine. The Mavs won a big series and its all Mavs fans' STILL whining about officiating. They got more free throws in almost every game of the series and still whining about officiating lmao. No wonder everyone dislikes you.

⁠@@mith2946 it's because of the way Shai was officiated on the other end. It was frustrating to watch Dort just beat on Luka all night while Shai got FT's anytime someone breathed on him. FT counts are a cop out bc it never tells the full story of a game and don't take into account how each team plays/defends

@@mith2946 L

​@@mith2946It's about all the found that aren't called. Dort should have fouled out several times long before that. Just telling it like it is.

He glances over the fact that PJ caught SGA with the pump fake too🙄

He just didn't want it to be a foul because he wanted OKC to win.

It’s all that SGA “stock” he prides himself on

He knows its a foul. Did you even listen?

That would have been the game winner, for sure.

Exactly what I saw, they hit him again and again on the arms, and then, a clear foul on PJ on thee arm, and then…Kyrie put back the missed shot also. So what is the fuss about “losing the game this way?” In fact, Dallas could have said that with more justification if that had loss. STOP IT!

Complaining about refs after a win is crazy work 😂

@@colethornton6263 Okay, the refrees were great.

Shai just wasn’t being aggressive the whole run when they cut the lead down. It was driving me crazy

Except that Dallas is better. Now game 4? Mavs blew that one.

I’m convinced if it isn’t the Celtics bill just checks out like a quarter in 2 of the games and comes with his takes

It's almost like it's a team sport or something.

3 of the top 5 got injured during their series or slightly before it. Do you believe Haliburton outplayed Brunson in their series? Because Haliburton played like trash most games and got hard carried by the Knicks injuries.

the team just needs playoff XP and lukai rested. Jason kidd is a high stakes gambler. but it wracked my nerves the whole series.

The salaries don’t match. OKC could take back $31 m for Bertans and Giddey. Siakim is getting $37m this year

Woulda coulda shoulda bs!

And does Siakam re-sign with OKC this summer..? This ain't fantasy basketball.

⁠@@Israel-nb7ipFor real 😂Siakam is literally about to be a free agent. Would OKC have been willing to give all that up for a possible rental?

@Riles3152 Toronto did it and they got a ring for it. Granted, Kawhi>>>>Siakam. But OKC already had their superstar in Shae

The entire goal was to watch how the current squad performs as is and get exactly what is needed later. Presti said that well before the playoffs. No sense in grabbing pieces that won’t work in the long run.

@@CouLandsBy the time the trade deadline came around they were well aware of how good they were, and of how close they were to winning it all 'this' season. They had much more than enough future draft picks and non rotational players with trade value to make a move this season, and for many more to come. Plus they could've traded for a rental player if they didn't want to be stuck with the contract. They should've gone after OG for sure, but they could've probably also got Gafford for not much, and would've kept him from going to Dallas who he ended up helping them tremendously.

Check your math because that’s entirely false

Its looking like Mavs vs Celtics
