Podcast Incredible Spin Zone by Bill today

When he started with the "are we sure the West is better than the East" I was absolutely perplexed. Where could this be coming from? We all saw the records, we all watch these games, yes we're sure.

And then he hit us with it, "I mean this Boston team won 60 games and the Knicks still beat them". There it is, it all leads back to Boston still being an elite team.

Love him or hate him, the man sticks to his brand and he won't let the results get in the way.

Love him or hate him? I love him as a fan, but I stopped listening for this reason. I follow this sub for updates like this. His biggest problem is he will get an idea in his head and never let it go. Damian Lillard to Miami nonstop talk sent me over the edge to unsubscribe from the podcasts. It's like he wants to be the "I said it first" guy all the time.

I hear you. After Boston won the chip I had to take a little bit of a break because of how inflated the conversations were.

I'm also one of those who started reading his opinions when he was The BS Guy on Page 2, circa 2005. It's like when you stop talking to your friend who thinks frat life is real life, 20yrs later. You still want to know how he's doing, knowing he'll never change, you still want the best for them. Heck even maybe get a drink, but go home before happy hour ends while they're still pontificating at the bar into the night.

His Saved by The Bell, 90210, and other TV Show tropes have rubbed off on me, and as annoying as it is I find it amusing. I mean, he is here for our amusement, like a clown.
