Bill Simmons

And they didn't want to admit it yet, and he probably wasn't 100% ready.

He had a couple of big plays down the stretch.

Because there wasn't the explosiveness getting in the basket in the same way.

And then that, him getting in the basket then allows him to do that little turnaround eight-foot shot that he's great at.

And it all plays off each other.

Whereas OG, every shot I thought was going in.

I do think it's a real issue that he can't seem to play more than 30 minutes.

Well, I think he's like staggering around in these games.

And by the way, maybe I had a good email from a mailbag pod I did the other day about Tibbs kind of conditioned these guys to go these big minutes and carry these big loads.

But think about how much you were making in the Hawks compared to what these guys make now.

These are like these $50 million a year properties.

I do think they are more careful because not only are they paying a ton of money for the best players, but if something goes wrong with one of the best players, you almost, you don't have an out.

Like, look at you with Giannis this year.

You ended your season single-handedly that he didn't play.

Yeah.

The Wemby part of this, so you think, like, he doesn't have the signature shot yet.

Not yet.

Yeah, the elbow will be one for sure.

Yeah, like top of the foul line.

Because it seems like he has a lot of trouble getting to the block.
