[Simmons] on Wiggins "He was the best player on the floor. He looked like the guy I thought Jaylen Brown was going to be coming into the playoffs."

Bill Simmons - "Were going to have a Boston pity party. I’ve been doing podcasts this whole time. I’ve been super reliable. Every once in a while you just have to hear us have a complete meltdown. Hench, before we do that though. What changed these last two games? I sketched this out in the solid 6 minutes.

Biggest thing to me is Wiggins. Wiggins in the last two games is 17 (pts) and 16 (rebs) in game 4 and then in game 5 26 (pts) and 13 (rebs). He was the best player on the floor. He looked the guy I thought Jaylen Brown was going to be coming into the playoffs. So just quickly, that was not a variable we were kind of expecting. Right?

Hench - "Although he’s had a good year so it’s not surprising when he makes a shot it is surprising when he gets 29 rebounds in consecutive games. That’s a little puzzling."
