Celtics superfan Bill Simmons teed off on the team for shot selection among other issues from Tuesday’s loss.
The Boston Celtics’ history includes not just legendary players but also legendary media personalities and analysts. One of them is Bill Simmons, a best selling author and Celtics superfan.
On Wednesday Simmons, known for his outspoken and brash style, criticized his favorite team for a heartbreaking last second road loss to Stephen Curry and the Draymond Green-less Golden State Warriors.
Meanwhile, the Celtics are doing their best to move on from the loss. An injury update on Jayson Tatum was revealed and the news is not good. The Celtics’ Jaylen Brown had a NSFW message to the loss that has Celtics fans reacting.
Simmons’ comments were shared on Thursday and offer a peek into the frustrations he felt watching Golden State prevail.

According to Simmons, the 132-126 setback in the Bay Area was the ‘dumbest’ loss of the season so far.
Simmons also shared a shot chart to back up his assertion.
“You can tell that the Curry wanted it more than anyone. Set the tone for the team. Celtics just let it happen,” one commenter said in response.
“Looks a lot like the Celtics we see every year in the playoffs,” another added.
