The Ringer’s Bill Simmons joins the show so he and Brian can discuss a highly entertaining basketball game as the Celtics fall to the Thunder in OKC. They discuss Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s big night, where the Thunder rank among the NBA’s best teams, Kristaps Porzingis’s incredible shooting prowess, Jayson Tatum’s ceiling as a player, and more (0:30).

We want to hear from you! Leave Brian a message on the listener line at 617-396-7172. Or send us your questions for our mailbag at [email protected].
