Not only are there iconic players in the Boston Celtics’ history, but there are also legendary media personalities and analysts. Bill Simmons, a best-selling author and Celtics devotee, is one of them.
On Wednesday, Simmons, known for his fiery and outspoken demeanor, chastised his favorite team for a heartbreaking last-second road defeat to Stephen Curry and the Draymond Green-less Golden State Warriors.
Meanwhile, the Celtics are attempting to move on from their loss. Jayson Tatum’s injury status has been confirmed, and it is not good. The Celtics’ Jaylen Brown responded to the setback with an NSFW remark that has Celtics fans screaming.
Simmons’ words were made public on Thursday and provide insight into his displeasure as he watched Golden State win.
Simmons Blames the Celtics for the Warriors’ Loss
The 132-126 loss in the Bay Area was the ‘dumbest’ loss of the season, according to Simmons.
Simmons also provided a shot chart to back up his claim.
“You can tell Curry wanted it more than anyone else. Set the tone for the entire team. “The Celtics just let it happen,” one commenter said.
“Looks a lot like the Celtics we see every year in the playoffs,” someone else said.
