@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside He’s right? Okc was still rolling over teams without SGA this season.. He’s not saying dude at the same calibre or anything so chill with the fake outrage.
Bill Simmons says if you replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with Brandin Podziemski, the Thunder would still win 50 games 😅

@RoKnowsBall@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside You're right and it's exactly why I don't listen to any of them. they all have an agenda for something or someone. They've never set foot on a court and they have their heads up somebody's asses too far to see any games.
@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside This is why sports discourse is how it is now. There are some things that are thought provoking and there are some things that are just wrong. But now theres no line between them on the internet. Clicks are clicks so even the biggest reporters on the sport will say anything
@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside Every context and hypothetical imaginable to bolster Jokic PR, every hypothetical nonsense imaginable to downplay what Shai actually does. Ringer Cult will never forgive SGA for crashing the "Jokic Era"
@lucan1123@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside There's a fool born every minutes. Bill Simmons is proof. Who listens to him? I would much rather listen to people who have actually stepped on a court.
@TheDunkCentral@NBA__Courtside Nah this is the exact kind of take that sounds smart until you actually watch basketball. Swap Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for Podziemski and that 50 wins becomes a 50% fantasy.
Bill Simmons and Tim Legler believe if you replaced SGA with Brandon Podziemski, the Thunder would still be a 50+ win team this season 👀

@40ballsniper@NBA__Courtside I thought legksrcwas smarter than that. Bill Simmons , I didn't even realize he was still on. He's trying to be relevant with stupid takes.
@NBA__Courtside This season? In which they were the 2nd most injured team? Podz, without Shai, would've been their only ball handler for the majority of the season seeing as Jdub and Ajay missed so much time. Not to mention he's horrible
@stefandusansd@NBA__Courtside So you really think those 9 FT per game got them the #1 seed? If so, why aren't the Lakers #1...Luka shoots more FT than Shai. With three fewer games, he has still shot 31 more FT than Shai.
@NBA__Courtside Thats not true. But put Devin Booker instead of him and Thunder would be 1st seed. With Sga whistle of course. Without whistle Sga is slightly above average. Endless flops and foul baiting
