[ESPN-Bill Simmons] Western Conf predictions

Simmons is great, you guys gotta go to that article, and read the whole thing....

He had enough laughs in there for me to not give a rat's tail if he ranked the Rockets 30 out of 30.


Read his eastern and western conference previews.


ESPN instant classic status

 

I thought it was funny especially the Lakers part. Bill Simmons is great read if you dont take him seriously.

 

If the Rockets really do finish ninth, the bald gentleman with three names may be replaced by the loopy gentleman with nine rings.

 

This kind of stuff helped in the divorce of kobe and shaq.......hopefully mac n yao will understand this guys is an idiot.


although him placing us 9th...well that could happen (its only their first year together)....well maybe not........welll it might........well maybe not

 

this guy also put sacramento 10th and in his east predictions cleveland 3rd ahead of miami

i guess the standards to become an espn writer have gone down even further, maybe i should apply there soon

 

i'll just post what i posted in nba dish.


whether he's saying stuff i agree with or not, bill simmons is the funniest sports writer who has ever lived and possibly the best sports writer ever period. he just thinks of the most random thoughts and they are so perfect. the movie quotes, the different names for faces (i.e. the Private Pyle face for shareef), the random thoughts, the jahidi white won't be on espn's front page again unless he kills someone comment from the first preview, they're all so perfect.

man, can't believe he has us 9th. it ain't looking good so far though.

 

You know how many starters the Pacers were missing???

 

That really is an abuse of the traditional term acronym, which is generally synonymous with initialism. Here's why TMac fails to pass as an acronym in my book:

(1) A letter is included in the acronym which is not present in
the source word(s).

HINT : TMac

(2) How many non-initial letters do we get to use before we are
simply talking about an abbreviation. Your example of "CWEBB"
is rather appropriate in this context.

In way of an (albeit ridiculous) example, can I start calling Bill Simmons by his new acronym: BILLSIMMON?

BTW, this is not a flame, just an amusing aside on vocabulary.

cheers,
DaGli (my new acronym)

 

Nah, man, you talkin about the big BSIMM - it's BS for short, but pretty damn amusing BS.

 

my bad, lock it

 

Bill Simmons is a flopper!!

 

Yup. From the time that the Kidd/Marbury trade went down until now, B-Sim has flip-flopped on Marbury THREE times. The guy is a great read and I like his analysis, but he makes declarations and predictions waaaaaaaaaaaay too quickly.

 

And after 2 losses orateam:

"The team has traded down, McGrady is a crybaby, I have to whine about the Rockets, the Rockets traded down".

After the Rockets get over .500

orateam: "McGrady will drag the team down, McGrady is overrated, what McGrady whine"

After the Rockets clinch a playoff spot, Orlando Magic fan orateam:

*Blank*

Will disappear like every other troll.
