These are entertaining, but its not a good look for Jalen's credibility when he calls Rubio a turnstile on defense.

Yup, I'm really watching these only because they're entertaining, they dont seem to know too much about certain teams/players.

That's because they don't watch games. I don't know why dudes are even bothering to watch these previews.

random entertainment/funny stories :manny: and I mean it's not like they're wrong about everything, u just can't take what they say too seriously.

I don't get to see them criminally underrate the Nuggets? :mjcry:

why didn't Simmons just let Jacoby fill in for him? I guess he's that much of an egomaniac. :beli:

man so WTF was the point?

ESPN just shooting themselves in the foot since a lot of people wanted to see that.

I agree. I really hope they listen to the fans and at least do an audio version and just release them all at once. They can even skip the potluck Jalen and all of the throwback videos and what not. Just trim the fat, do a solid 10-15 mins on each team, and put the final 20 teams out. I think the fans would really appreciate it.

I JUST found out last night that they weren't finishing them because of Bill's suspension and got real bummed.

it took him extra 2 years but even Bill Simmons finally realized that Rubio is noting more than a spanish Brevin Knight

I'm legit pissed, cuz I went out and took the time to watch all the shytty teams. I wanted to see them talk about the playoff teams.

I wonder why he couldn't film the rest even tho suspended and simply just put them all out at the same time when he came back.

Well I know for some contractual reason he was not allowed to film them during his suspension. Jalen was on Grantland saying that they make all of them with just him, Bill, and 2 other people. Jalen was saying there just wasn't enough time with the people involved to do it, and get all the proper edits and effects in there, and if they couldn't do it right, they wouldn't do it at all. I think they're gonna do these little 2 minute clips? I don't know man. I'm with you. My 2 suggestions were to at least...

1. Film everything and cut it down, like 10 mins per team. Cut out the throwback videos, potluck Jalen, Clairvoyant Bill, etc. Just have Jalen and Bill break down each team and keep it moving. Release a big 3 youtube video at once with everything on it.

2. Forget the video, and just do an audio podcast version. Just do 5-10 mins per team, all the key details, nothing extra. At least something for the fans just to give them the top 20.

Just something. I'm like you, I just found out, I like that they upped the quality from last year, but even if it can't be that good, just drop something quick for the pans to eat and at least say you did it for the 2014/2015 season.
