The Bill Simmons Podcast
OKC’s Revenge, NBA Cup Nitpicks, and NFL Season Fun Grades with David Jacoby, Kirk Goldsberry, Kyle Brandt, and Craig Horlbeck

No three point line and not a four point line or there's no corner threes. I think I think that'd be fun. And I understand like there are reasons you can do that. But just while we're spitballing, I think sort of experimenting about rule changes or court changes you've been considering in these games because they are different. It could be a playground for that.

I know, but here's the thing. But if you're in a pickup game and you're down six, you want SGA on your team so you stay on the court. You know what I mean? You always associate guys you want to play pickup with with guys that move the ball and get teammates involved. No, I want to stay on the court. Yeah, but you have SGA just to stay on the court. That's why he's good to play pickup.

Body Language Doctor doesn't love that duo as much as I wanted to when he signed. But we always, like, I think people are critical of Dame. It's like, he scores 25.7 points a game and gets 7.5 assists a game. Like... And he's like 37% from three now. Is that so bad? Yeah. Like, is that so bad? Like, is that... What are we being critical of, really?

And, you know, Dairy Bird... Torian Prince is shooting 54% from three on, like... 3.6 attempts or something. It's not fake. They're surrounding two of the biggest offensive weapons in the league with shooting. Defensively, we can just pass over that. They're not stopping anybody. It's tough. And when they won it all, they were great on defense.

Yeah, and even tonight, Suggs had Dame in front of him, and he dribbled between his legs like four times, then just shot a three. It was like, Suggs, that's Dame Lillard. Just put your shoulder down and go past him. And a key point, I was really disappointed in that particular possession because I think there's a reason that when Dame is guarding somebody that there's no screener.

I bought a lot of Suggs stock preseason because of defense. I didn't see this Suggs, but it is. This is Gonzaga Suggs. It just seems like Paolo's playing so well. And then Franz steps up and plays so well. And then Franz is out. Now Suggs steps up and plays. If Suggs has a legit hurt hand, it's going to be like Mo Wagner scores 30 and 12 and 10. It's like, what is happening?
