Bill Simmons, Zach Lowe, and Haralabos Voulgaris Preview the 2014-15 NBA Season | B.S. Report

[@WhereIsYourID]

I love coming back to watch these to get an understanding of the narratives surrounding the league at the time.

[@Jaspinish]

Bro. What I would give to have this again.

[@full6330name]

21:30 '' I won't be telling my kids about him '' Is kinda funny to hear these words after what Klay did. With 37 point quarter and specially his 60 point game in 3 quarters while taking like 10 dribles total. Not to mention how he saved Warriors in game 6 at Thunder in 2016 playoffs. Klay Thompson is definetly somebody you will be mentioning to your grandkids

[@polymorphistYT]

armin38822 I had to pause the video after he said that and check the comments hahaa

[@polymorphistYT]

Also: 44:29 We saw how well that worked out for Cleveland in the last Finals. Cleveland's starting lineup outperformed Golden State's but they got absolutely hammered when Deron Williams, Shumpert, RJ, Love and Frye were out there

[@full6330name]

I never liked how cavs since lebron came back always relied mostly on veterans while warriors for example always gave chance to guys like Jordan Bell,Patrick McCaw,Kevon Looney,Ian Clark etc and those guys showed value in the playoffs. Cavs always wanted just veterans and they break down.

[@mksb42]

I remember watching this when it first came out. thanks for the upload

[@saidiaberkane2008]

14:50 Bill: "Its nearing the end for Iguodala" That season finals MVP: Iguodala

[@Goose1162]

saidiaberkane2008 I think he meant as a starter not meaning in terms of talent.

[@esentea]

bill was clearly saying that he thought iggy was going to decline a lot in productivity/ability

[@datablend]

Bob a genius for this

[@Jackfargo91]

He also said morph into a Pippen type on the Blazers......

[@MrOctober44]

He said he'll move into a role player which is exactly what he did. It was a great call by Bill.

[@Silverdudespolicy]

21:28 mannnnn, but you will tell your grandkids about his 37 point quarter and 60 points in 3 quarters.

[@abcsorensen]

Silver Corrales A lot of this conversation didn’t age well.

[@maxdurk4624]

Eric Sorensen Yeah, but that just goes to show its freaking impossible to predict the NBA

[@cameronfry]

This pod was cut fall 2014; Klay's historic game wasn't until January 2015.

[@jaimiejames2]

What I would give to hear Bill and Zach on a pod together again.

[@zubairkaisar1293]

they did another two together in March on each others podcasts

[@PhillyCYOSports]

Faces for radio, good lord

[@MrOctober44]

I don't think theyre on camera because they think they can sell his sex appeal.

[@Nick-lc5hk]

You're doing God's work Sill Bimmons.

[@maxdurk4624]

Hearing them talk 4 years later and it literally feels like they're talking about a different league.

[@capitanawesome44]

GST and three point revolution changes the league. It is a different league now

[@maxdurk4624]

@@capitanawesome44 Lol, I wasn't talking about any of that. I was talking about how all the players and teams are different.

[@maxdurk4624]

@@capitanawesome44 I should take back my reply, after listening to this again, the change in tactics definitely was factoring into my mindset when I wrote the original comment. My bad.

[@nostradumass6248]

imagine hearing it 10 years later

[@alinjo4421]

Boy were they wrong about that Kevin love/Klay potential trade lol

[@Coolquip43]

Jo Alin Simmons in particular doesn't get enough shit for how wrong he was here

[@somerandomguy84]

I hate to pull a "to be fair", but the previous offensive scheme in GS was holding Klay back

[@scs44444]

@@Coolquip43 Not saying he wasn't wrong, but basically everyone agreed with this at the time(except Jerry West thank god). and also mark fucking jackson

[@fordtimsfamilytradition3259]

Don't mention mark Jackson's name with the warriors, they did him dirty. Look how long he hasn't been a coach and he's mad humble he doesn't bash them at all while others fucking set him up talking shit.

[@MFDan69]

But they had Jalen on the staff who was very adamant on not trading Klay at the time

[@Joshthe1337]

Wasn't expecting Haralabos to look like that.

[@Dkim822078]

bob's got that soothing voice. 3 great basketball talkers here.

[@Shaheen767]

Zach Lowe was dead on about Steph winning MVP

[@freddielopez9735]

Sill Bimmons, whoever you are, thank you

[@omieg89]

Crazy listening to how the Warriors were perceived before the 14-15 season.

[@HiMyNameIsJonathan]

Voulgaris has the typical finance bro personality which annoys me but he's entertaining to watch and evidently has made a ton of money on sports gambling.

[@full6330name]

He's horrible. No love and humility in that guy.

[@MrOctober44]

15:00 great call about Iggy.

[@zacharykaiser5910]

Is this was 2014 looked like? Why does it look like 2002?

[@Jacob23615]

Holy cow this a GEM. Bob really knows ball. Great episode. Love all 3

[@TheObeeOne]

Wait, this is the guy tearing up the MAvericks front office? Lol

[@cc-ec1if]

Right? This guy seems like a jackass. Just listen to his predictions in this podcast. All you need to know

[@cc-ec1if]

I hate guys trying to play God and think they have a crystal ball

[@albasuna]

@@cc-ec1if Right, better to be the guy not predicting anything and use the benefit of hindsight to call out other dudes.

[@mathualuisy1604]

He says Monte Williams sucks lol

[@seancollins3032]

26:40 he says harden could never win mvp.

[@joshlydon49]

Draymond Green is not even a starter for the Dubs at the beginning of 2014. By the end of the year he's a top 5 defensive player and the key to the line up of death. Crazy!

[@wes2ken]

crazy how they spoke about iggy, then he goes on to be the finals mvp the next season

[@seancollins3032]

Zack Lowe was the only one who' saw threw the k love trade

[@full6330name]

Seems like Bill was ready to wright Igoudala off pretty early. Dude still had some good years in him. In the playoffs I felt like he really did a great job for the Warriors. Obvously not the biggest peace in the puzzle but a very important one still. And the talk on Klay ? Klay Thompson comes out of college every year ? I remember even back than,hating the idea of trading Love for Klay. Simply because I thought it was so amazing that 1 team has two such great shooters. At that point Love was obviously a more established player but even back than you could see just what kind of a shot Klay had. You could see it was special and only starting to really get workin. You combine his 3 point shooting + Steph ? I always loved that idea more,than taking Klay out and replacing him with Love. That would be a disaster trade.

[@samplestar390]

It went from talking about Dwight like this to him not making nba 75

[@maxdurk4624]

I watched this... this, mustve been about 10-15 times when it came out. Sad Zach and Bill can't do pods anymore. And Bill hasn't had Haralabos on since I think the 2016 Playoffs

[@brandonreed3670]

Bill & Zach did two podcasts in March. One for the Bill Simmons' podcast and another for the Lowe Post

[@maxdurk4624]

Brandon Reed I know, but I think that was a one time thing that ESPN allowed. Or else they would've done many more, I can promise you that. Also, I completely forgot about it when I was writing my original comment, but Bill did do a podcast with Haralabos during the 2017 Playoffs.

[@brandonreed3670]

I hope not , cuz I do remember Bill mentioning that he couldn't do a podcast with people from ESPN last year but when he got Zach on I assumed something chagned

[@kyosotacomics]

Haralabos works for the Dallas.Mavs now and Bill Has done many Pods with Zach recently. They been on Each others podcasts.

[@liamnuge428]

“Harden could never win an MVP”

[@MrOctober44]

He won one. Let's not act like he's won five.

[@Abernier3]

Hab says "you out there e dog, whats up" around 57 mins. referencing erick lindgren who is a known a known gambling addict who has been outted in part by Hab. Funny stuff.

[@brycekazda5744]

Bill you'll be telling your kids about Klay Thompson now

[@Tech-Sam]

Wow they were 100% right about everything! /s

[@winstonburke6572]

So this is the guy that burned down the Mavs?

[@jeffreyjoseph1212]

They're the same person!

[@dreambiglistentomymixtapes983]

15:53 Blasphemy

[@bfoz]

Poor Zach, he seems so bored/left out. The three man pods with Simmons and Volgaris don't seem to work out so well for the third person.

[@full6330name]

Zach knows more then both of them combined

[@cameronfry]

Welp. This pod didn't age well at all. Granted, the Dubs hadn't started their run yet.

[@MrOctober44]

Always easy to be the Monday morning quarterback.

[@HITMIDorBIN]

Not a single soul thought the warriors would become what they became. The consensus in the NBA was that exclusively jump shooting teams could not winning the championship. But I guess people didn’t consider how elite the warriors defence was and how elite Steph and Klay were at making their own shots

[@davidche6734]

I gotta say the klay/Kevin love takes aged badly .... any chance we can get these 3 together again. I know Bob works 4 the mavs but come on

[@leeChubbard]

this goes to show that these pundits dont know what they are talking about.

[@full6330name]

26:43

[@Scottbycoachandrail]

This all seems awesome until they start talking about klay

[@maxdurk4624]

I love hearing Zach call Danny Chau obnoxious so much.

[@maxdurk4624]

35:33

[@fordtimsfamilytradition3259]

Mark Jackson was black balled in the NBA for Steve Kerr. Smh I just hope that one day mark Jackson gets his due 😂 😬 and gets to coach again, he was a great coach.

[@wiz_dropbomb2134]

You must not know shit

[@oscarm6990]

It's pretty uncommon for Haralabos to give interviews, wish they would have let him talk more. He's an incredibly smart and well-spoken person, it would've been great to get some more of his insight into the NBA

[@two4eight62]

Why will haralabob not look at zach? it makes this entire podcast so awkward.
