1 - 01:06 - The Magic took Florida from the Heat (Butler getting traded?) 2 - 06:10 - Rookie of the year will be weird 3 - 09:42 - Ben Simmons to restore his trade value? 4 - 12:57 - Intuit Dome (lame on TV) 5 - 14:06 - Tatum fixed his shot and might have MVP season 6 - 17:45 - Impact of Knicks-Timberwolves trade
Amen Thompson for a 35 year old jimmy butler is definitely proof that that mucinex haze is still going strong. I wouldn’t do that straight up, much less Houston adding more to that. I would need butler and a first or herro for Thompson, he could be our second best player in three months. What does jimmy butler sitting out half the regular season do for the rockets exactly?
Right. It was really disappointing at first because his ceiling seemed so high, but the last two years have been a consistent decline of relevance of him. Watched the nets the other day, he made no level of impact in that game.
I'm probably one of the only ones who thinks Simmons would be awesome, on the right team. All the space now days, he's getting to the basket or passing to an open corner three. Size and D, shooters all around him it could really work.
The Timberwolves feel like they took a torch to their momentum, for no reason. KAT didn't shoot well in the playoffs, but hell, this was their first deep run in the playoffs. It wasn't like he was 0 for 10 or anything. 19/9 for a team that defeated the defending champions in 7 games. They didn't run it long enough to determine if this was going to be a thing or not. This wasn't a Charles Oakley for Horace Grant type of "open it up" trade. At least I hope not. Wouldn't that be a terrible reason for a GM to make a move? "Well, the Bulls gave away Jordan's favorite guy for a player who wasn't as good and look what the Bulls ended up doing!" That doesn't work if it's the #2 guy going instead of the #3 or #4 guy you're giving up chemistry for. This felt like a blockbuster for the sake of one. Utterly arbitrary.
Simmons doens't mention that JB was 27 last year and won FMVP smh. Also I took 13-1 mvp odds because if you watch preseason you could see his stroke was back
I'm happy that JJ is 'coaching' the Lakers now and no longer a color commentator. I never could stand listening to the games he was an announcer in; furthermore, he was always a prick to his announcing partners like Dave Pasch. Tim Legler is actually likeable unlike JJ. I agree with Bill on indoor arenas not translating well to the television viewers. I enjoy ATP 250 events, because they play some of them at really exotic outdoor locations like Gstaad and Kitzbühel. Anything played indoors just looks the same unless you are actually there in person and experiencing it firsthand.
If Bill actually watched his own team’s game he’d realize that Bridges fixed the hitch mid game and went back to his own shot. View the tape. But whatever.
"Tatum maybe winning MVP" is not something going on in the NBA. With Luka, Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Wemby, and SGA in the league, Tatum will never separate himself to the point of being a legit contender for that award. The competition is too harsh for him. Beyond his competition, his lack of aura, inability to be the best player on the Celtics for even 3 games in a row, and game devoid of dominance will make it so he never wins the award.
I am fully a hater but the Celtics game was incredibly impressive and also I just didn’t enjoy watching it. I sound like an old man but there were way too many threes
It was a blow out was the problem. They kept shooting 3s because they were getting open and nailing them. From their perspective I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it?
I don’t hate it as much when teams are making them and Bos was obviously on fire for 3 quarters. But the games where both teams are firing them up and it’s miss after miss are just unbearable.
Unfortunately that is what the modern game has become. It's definitely less exciting, but it's still something you can appreciate when you don't compare it to better basketball and just take it for what it is now.
whats with NBA players like Tatum and SGA having personalities the writers of NBA 2k came up with? this is WNBA level aura from our best players. weird.
Tatum has 2 personality traits. #1. Deuces dad #2. Loves Kobe. That’s it. We already knew that and a whole Netflix series couldn’t find anything else in his personality 😂😂😂
JT is not an MVP candidate because the team is too good and JB is almost at his same level while the leadership of the team is clearly sitting on multiple players. It was not about the shooting.
Ben simmons is getting worse every year hes on the nets. The kd kyrie year was the best he looked. Last year he was faster n looked less rusty than how he looks now. He looks stiff n slow this year, maybe cause he’s legitimately a 5 now.

1st
I like Bill. But i like you more because you allow me to skip the Boston talk.🍺
Thanks. I know to skip the Tatum part now. The bias is annoying
Thank you Richie rich
Why is Bam not the Heats best player?
Bill Simmons is my favorite journalist ever
you know the trend of "quiet quitting" in the workplace? Julius Randle's doing this in the NBA lol
Man, well done. That stat about 27 year olds was really interesting. 84 Bird was incredible
Bill “I have a vote” Simmons
he can't bet on these things because he has a vote
Bill not Ben Simmons.
Bill "when I had clippers season tickets" Simmons
THANK YOU!!! Thank you for saying what I’ve been telling people about Tatum and the Olympics

$50 million a year for 35 year old Jimmy Butler is crazy. What teams have that much salary to trade?
i kinda like that Bill is the rare bball podcaster who is running an old-fashioned beer ad read instead of gambling app stuff.
Same
He does plenty of FanDuel ad reads if you watch his actual podcast on Spotify lol. And they mention the name FanDuel like 10 times per podcast
Ben Simmons can't seriously still be an NBA talking point in 2024
Man’s got an agent that’s used to keeping a diva who pretends to be an athlete relevant
Right. It was really disappointing at first because his ceiling seemed so high, but the last two years have been a consistent decline of relevance of him. Watched the nets the other day, he made no level of impact in that game.
Statline from the game Bill is talking about:
24 minutes: *_6 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 turnovers, & 5 fouls_*
Zero spacing. Zero free throws.
@@jhank0ceanlower the turnovers and that's early Jason kidd numbers 😂
I'm personally love it
I hope Bill didn't sell his Evan Mobley stock
Thank you! 16:56
I realized that as you were talking about Ben Simmons, that I want to see him on the Nuggets with Jokic.
Can we please get the full show on youtube?
Bill wants Buttler out of the East so bad...
Love this 🎉
The Magic in the second half was special. Paolo undeniably best player on the floor, correct sir!
More Ceruti Magic talk
Dude, Amen Thompson isn't going in a Jimmy Butler trade
All this pressure yall putting on Tatums back after 1 game might bring the hitch back
THANK GOD BILLS HOOP CONTENT IS BACK AND HIS FOOTBALL CONTENT IS DYING OUT!!!😊
Bill is SO happy about how Miami looked last night lol
I'm probably one of the only ones who thinks Simmons would be awesome, on the right team. All the space now days, he's getting to the basket or passing to an open corner three. Size and D, shooters all around him it could really work.
A Ben Simmons/Zion frontcourt is disgusting 😂
(5) Let’s not forget, Jaylen Brown’s year 27: Celtics 18th banner year, Conference MVP & Finals MVP!
Yes!!! More Orlando talk!!!
Ceruti burner
GIVE UP ON BEN SIMMONS BILL. My goodness!
fast forwarded through the Tatum talk
disrespectful to Bill, he barely ever mentions him 😢
@@richi1235 😂😂
Cam was 14/27 and 7/14 from three last night. Not as bad as he made it seem. Thought I was gonna see like 10/30 or something lol
“This podcast is presented by Michelob ULTRA! I am a light beer guy. Sorry, hate to tell you, but it’s true!”
How do you pronounce Knecht? As a German his name is really funny 😂
Ben Simmons (Bill's son) has more trade value than Ben Simmons NBA player
Edey just seemed overly excited. He wanted to make his imprint immediately, and it didn’t work out. Once he settles in, he’ll be good.
The Timberwolves feel like they took a torch to their momentum, for no reason. KAT didn't shoot well in the playoffs, but hell, this was their first deep run in the playoffs.

Bill I have season tickets to the Clippers games Simmons
Went almost a full minute without mentioning embiid. Almost a new record!
"No dogs at sporting events. Period."
Simmons doens't mention that JB was 27 last year and won FMVP smh. Also I took 13-1 mvp odds because if you watch preseason you could see his stroke was back
ORLANDOOOOOOO
Listening to Simmons talk about betting odds for Rookie of the Year is probably the dumbest moment of my life.
I'm happy that JJ is 'coaching' the Lakers now and no longer a color commentator. I never could stand listening to the games he was an announcer in; furthermore, he was always a prick to his announcing partners like Dave Pasch. Tim Legler is actually likeable unlike JJ.

Giannis is MVP. Settle down bill
Start the countdown until Bill realizes Evan Mobley is a star, and pretends he didn't sell all his stock last year.
Out of all the young guys Thompson should be the last guy Houston trades 😂 . Why would they trade him for a 35 year old Jimmy Butler
Hairs looking good Billy, don’t go to your last barber again. Time for someone new 🙌
That Nic Claxton comment was dumb and pointless.
If Bill actually watched his own team’s game he’d realize that Bridges fixed the hitch mid game and went back to his own shot. View the tape. But whatever.
If things go like game 1, Bill is going to be insufferable 😅
Houston? I thought Suns. 4:56
Get rid of Beal & allen?
Can’t wait to see Paolo vs Tatum. My $ on Paolo & he’s only 21. & if it isn’t this year it’s definitely next year that Paolo overtakes Tatum
He will be lucky if he is ever as good as Tatum already is.
@@Mac2Mon stay off the snow my guy Paolo is really nice might be great one day but pump the breaks
Kerr gave Tatum a chip and the media giving Jaylen mvp when he averaged more points, rebounds, and assists. He’s upset.

Bam should be Miamis best player 🤦🏽♂️

I mean you picked the worst 😅
There are many colorful personalities in the NBA: Embiid, Ant, Ja, Kyrie, Butler, Lebron and so on for a while..
@@Mac2Mon hahaaha. ur right .. the kobe thing (and being a good dad) are his redeeming qualities
@@richi1235 but there's a cancer spreading of walking nike commercials taking over the league... we must call this out or it may spread
Lol if the Lakers lost it would for sure have been a talking point lol
Oh for sure, it would have been number 1 to him 😂 But I do give him credit, he doesn’t ever try to hide his hate/bias for the Lakers.
Bill really been ramping up the new york hate lately. Maybe its because our teams are better than Boston in every sport outside the NBA? 😂
Bill has lost the sauce if he thinks jimmy butler is worth amen Thompson plus the contracts to match his own… ain’t no way
This video made me reevaluate my priorities in life. More laughter, more cats🍓
Hornets
JT is not an MVP candidate because the team is too good and JB is almost at his same level while the leadership of the team is clearly sitting on multiple players. It was not about the shooting.
Bill your now one of the Westbrook haters are you??
Ben Simmons is the best player in the league
Dislike
@nine3seven he can shut down anyone in the league, he can score 30 and get a triple double every night if he wants. He's a beast
Taking the torch from Lebron this year?
I remember when the NBA used to matter.
Ben simmons is getting worse every year hes on the nets. The kd kyrie year was the best he looked. Last year he was faster n looked less rusty than how he looks now. He looks stiff n slow this year, maybe cause he’s legitimately a 5 now.
Bored of Ben Simmons, Tatum is boring.
What's that, haiku?
Quit hating on the Clippers Billy Boy. How are those woke politics working out for you?
The NBA ain’t what it used to be.
NBA fuckin sucks now
