Here's why I want to give him a little bit of a pass, too.

I want to say it's an age thing because, man, even in the middle of that sentence, something had to go off in his head like, wait a second, that doesn't make any sense.

Why would Jalen Williams only play 14 minutes if he was healthy?

No, I have now listened to it twice, and Bill Simmons does not know that Jalen Williams is hurt.

I mean, I'm sorry.

And you can't call yourself, you know, the basketball expert and not know in the postseason, the second season, that the Oklahoma City Thunders second best player hasn't been there.

Everybody's heard.

Who can remember?

Again, in defense of Bill Simmons, I'm team Bill Simmons almost.

We get it.

Just want to preface it.

So am I. He's my friend.

The take is correct where Jalen Williams might take more of a backseat this season at Chet Holmgren.

There is no way you watched that entire game and you thought Jalen Williams, the second best player on the Thunder, played 14 minutes.

So I don't want to hear brain farts and I was scrolling through 16 things that I was thinking of at the time.

Just say you didn't watch the game.

It's okay.

No one's going to care.

Even for Bill Simmons, no one's going to care that he missed a game in the postseason.

It's all right.
