    Watch the end of the Indiana video. They said that Bill and Jalen never finished them.

    I'm assuming the Grantland show is gonna be the previews continued or something along those lines, or atleast I hope so.

    Not likely. They never finished them. All those animations and cartoons they do that make them so good probably take a good amount of time to make.

    Half-assed it. :mad:

    Don't start if you're not gonna finish. :mad:

    *If true
    **Maybe his suspension had something to do with it--timing issue?
    ***When they were only at 25-24-23 and the season a week away, made you wonder...


    On that note,

    Bill Simmons, Zach Lowe, and Haralabos Voulgaris Preview the 2014-15 NBA Season

    So basically the three week ESPN ban ****ed the whole thing up?


    What a clsuter**** by ESPN. This is some of their best content.

    All I wanted to hear was Jalen defend the Rockets while Bill pulled the 'Should have kept Chandler' 'Ariza after he signed a contract' and 'Harden and Howard can't lead' arguments

    He loves to "fire" coaches.

    Fire Kevin McHale
    Fire Scott Brooks
    Fire Monty Williams

    Oh, and likes Chicago and Dallas to go far.

    [rQUOTEr]Hey everyone - we feel awful that we couldn't finish the previews. It would have been impossible, we taped those first ten on Sep. 23 and I wasn't allowed to work until Oct. 15. We love doing these previews and put a ton of time into each one. We couldn't and wouldn't mega-speedrush them just to finish the series, especially when we had to worry about planning the new TV show, too. In general, the timing just couldn't have been worse. But thanks for the support and big thanks to the Redditor who came up with the "Bad News Bill" idea. We are proud of the ten we did - we don't have a big team, it's just 4 of us and some freelancers. I thought the production quality was better this year than last year. We were getting better at doing them which is the real bummer here. Anyway, thanks for understanding and I promise to do an impromptu AMA soon. --SIMMONS

    Oh man. That's really disappointing. I really enjoyed watching all of them last year. And was looking forward to them again this year.

    As to Indiana, please send us David West. I'd give up Terrence Jones and the Pelicans pick in a heart beat. If they plan to rebuild a little for the Paul George comeback, that would make so much sense for them. They get another potential lottery pick and a solid young player with a lot of potential who is already, at the least, a proven rotation guy.

    Yep. Especially since, while the ones they did were great...everyone is looking for what they say about the top teams, not the bottom ones.
