Because if you're a Spurs homer that can't take any negative comments about the team, you'll be a whiny like Jenks
That was an article co-written with Zach Lowe and the point was that they felt the Spurs are not compelling must-see TV on their own - they need a good opponent for the game to be considered must-watch.
I don't really see how this equates to Simmons not liking the Spurs.

Yeah the article he linked where Simmons said the Spurs aren't likable is probably better evidence.
And yes in that article co written by Zach Lowe, Zach Lowe couldn't believe Bill Simmons ranked the Spurs that low.
We get it Jenks, Bill Simmons ed your mom and never called her again. Get over it
Are you referring to this?
He's not actually saying the Spurs aren't likable, just that he could understand if others feel that way. Your skimming might not have gotten that part clearly.Myth No. 4: The Spurs aren't fun to watch.
Not true. Maybe they aren't that likable, and maybe the flopping and eye-rolling and constant ing isn't defensible ... but if you can't rally around Duncan's all-around brilliance, Parker's uncanny ability to score in the paint, Ginobili's penchant for rising to the moment, their superb role players and the obvious affection these guys have for each other (as well as their coach), then I don't know what to tell you.
lol don't bother pointing out where this guy is incapable of reading comprehension and coming to logical conclusions. He's one of those guys that probably thinks he's always right and will argue semantics with your for hours rather than just admit he was wrong. Bag of
That's not how that reads, at all. "Maybe X, but Y" doesn't mean "other people might believe X but I don't believe it."
Is English your primary language?
Also I like how you pinned the Spurs low league pass rating on Zach Lowe, then no response after I pointed out Zach Lowe couldn't believe Simmons ranked them that low.
Bill: Full disclosure: I infuriated you by giving them such a low League Pass score. You nearly quit Grantland before we talked you into staying.
And 'Maybe X' does not mean X either.
He should ask you the same thing:
Myth No. 4: The Spurs aren't fun to watch.
Myth No. 4: The Spurs aren't fun to watch.
Myth No. 4: The Spurs aren't fun to watch.
Myth No. 4: The Spurs aren't fun to watch.
Do you know what a MYTH is you ing mongoloid?
BTW, I like how you threw in the jab there. Really mature of you.
Do you know what a response is? Holy you're re ed.
His response was that they are fun to watch, they're just not likable. Learn to read, dip . Tip: the myth ends with the bolded text
Good Lord, your comprehension is atrocious.
I referenced Zach Lowe simply to clarify that that article was not written by Simmons alone. Did I say anywhere that the Spurs' score was due to Lowe?
I guess the logical conclusion here is that Jenks hates Bill Simmons and can't read for .
Well this thread has certainly gone off the rails.
MY only regret was that I wasted my time responding to this ing moron gnsf.
Good lord you're an idiot
Really?
That's what you got out of it, and it's my reading comprehension that's lacking?
Yup, your reading comprehension, A+++Bill: Full disclosure: I infuriated you by giving them such a low League Pass score. You nearly quit Grantland before we talked you into staying.
Zach: Come on: If you like basketball, actual good basketball, you can’t beat this team. Great unis and court, too. You’ll miss Timmy and Manu when they’re gone. You ranked Sacramento seven spots above the Spurs. How can you feel good about yourself after that?
Maybe hire a new translator and then come back, and we'll continue.
Yup, still can't read for .
No response and emoticon, ggYup, still can't read for .
He's just one of those guys lol. His basketball takes are anyways and he doesn't contribute jack to the board, ignore him from now onYup, still can't read for .
Whatever helps your reading-impaired ass sleep at night.
Shot down every time, finishes with emoticons. So ing ownedWhatever helps your reading-impaired ass sleep at night.
Do you agree with Simmons that all 4 of the Spurs previous les should have asterisks? Was the Webber injury in 2003 more relevant than Duncan's in 2000? I'm sure there were hidden meanings in there, too

Oh and before you post nothing again, here's the actual last word. No comment on Bill Simmons' 4 asterisks?
Now I'll leave you to quoting you said long after you made a complete ass of yourself
