More evidence Bill Simmons knows practically nothing about basketball

He wasnt that bad prior to the injury. But he was never that good.

[Info on Randolph] Would have been valuable at this time... But our management failed.

Clearly he’s cranky about the directions the Celtics and Wolves franchises have taken since the Cs gave away their “Top 15” young stud.

That’s gotta be the worst his team has been bent over since the Warriors stole Joe Barry Carroll from them for a pothead veteran center and some big white dude from Minnesota…

There will be no extra point!

Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I find Simmons’ columns to be funny a lot of the time, but just as often he makes stupid claims like this one.

I’d like to ask him whether he would trade Randolph for K Love, since he’s often claimed to be a fan of his as well.

maybe you missed the fairly lengthy Simmons discussion in another thread but the general consensus was that Simmons is a great writer and an awful sports analyst.
