The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Invincible OKC, Knicks Nirvana, and Acceptable Giannis Trades With Zach Lowe, Ariel Helwani, Sean Fennessey, and Ben Thompson

And I don't want to hear a damn word about guys over-celebrating a second-round victory because we haven't been there in a quarter century. And that was an incredibly meaningful moment for the franchise, for the fan base, and for a team that had lacked a signature moment all season. And this series was clearly, to this point, their signature moment. So I'm just elated.

I'm thrilled, and I'm super excited about this year's The Pacers.

I want to play. We're not done. I think this is a team that has a really good chance to move on. And frankly, we have revenge come due after last series with the Pacers last year. So I wanted Halliburton the whole time. I'm glad it worked out. I'm glad the Cavs, once again, were a paper tiger. That's three years in a row they've been a paper tiger.

And I think this team, I don't know if they're a team of destiny. I have heard that said a few times. I think the guys on group chat called them a team of destiny the other day. But there is something different. I never would have guessed that a team that is highlighted by Carl Anthony Towns, a player I never understood or respected all the way up until last October.

But there is some sort of juju going on with them right now that is just thrilling. And the only time I'll probably disagree with Ariel this entire call is that I want the game to start tonight. I wish they were playing right now. I'm ready.

if they get good deuce and they get good Mitch, they're incredibly formidable team. They, that legitimately feels like a championship team to me. If it's only six guys, I get really tight.

And if one of those guys who's missing from that seven is cat, like he wasn't game five, then I'm really nervous that that was the best and the worst of this team that you saw in five and six when all cylinders were firing in six was the opposite of five. So it's not, this is not, you know, this is not the 93 Bulls. Like, that's not really what we're looking at here with these teams.

It's just, there feels like an opportunistic hole for them to slide into. And like Ariel said, they have JB. Like, in my lifetime, never been an athlete who in the final minutes of a game, I trusted more in my life. Wow. Not even close. I mean, literally not close in my 43 years of watching sports. I mean, who's on the list? I mean, you're a Bills fan, Ariel.
