The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

I'm probably going to need to see about...

15 to 20 game sample size to kind of come to those conclusions because some weird stuff happens right out of the gate with some of these teams and some it's not sustainable.

And then other teams have been really bad that you know are going to be better.

The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

So I want to give it a little bit more time.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

By the way, there's nothing wrong.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

It's smart to make the prediction now because... I really feel this way.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

you're going to look pretty damn smart.

The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

Like people are going to be like, wow, Bill called this after a week, 50 win team.

So, and if you're not right, I don't think a lot of people are going to hold onto that.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

So I think it's worth the risk to make that kind of prediction.

The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

And I think you might... Listen, I had him at the under on that number because I saw that number too because I thought they were going to be around a 500 team.

The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Shohei Live Experience, Plus the Maxey-V.J. Show, Surprise NBA Contenders, and Early Trends With Tim Legler

And I'm not 100% convinced yet they're a 50-win team because I want to see them play better competition.

But here's what is undeniable.

If Victor Weminyama stays healthy and he plays 70 to 75 games, if he gives them that...

The Bill Simmons Podcast

they're going to be top five defensive rated team in the league without question.

And there's going to be a lot of nights.

If you don't make enough threes against them, you can't beat them because you're just not going to score enough points, you know, inside 20 feet.

And, and that's, that's what I'm looking at now with San Antonio.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

Like I think that part of the equation is sustainable because they've got good perimeter defenders to go with it, funneling it to this guy that,

That's going to give them opportunities on nights when they don't shoot well to win games.
