part 4

Wes (Boston)

If you owned the Celtics, what would be the first change you'd make?
Bill Simmons (12:53 PM)

I would plant 20 pounds of pot iN Rasheed Wallace's trunk, then make an anonymous tip to the police.
Matt (Fort Worth)

Is it possible PEDs are being used in the NBA?
Bill Simmons (12:54 PM)

Very. Extremely. I would cause a digital riot if I gave my complete arsenal of opinions on this. Let's move on.
Harry (Philadelphia)

If you had your choice of owning the Patriots, red sox, bruins, or celtics, which would you choose?
Bill Simmons (12:56 PM)

Come on... Red Sox! What could be better than owning a big market baseball team? You'd get to go to 81 home games per year, sit in the first row and have a gigantic competitive advantage over 80% of the league. Sign me up.

MR SIMMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like you to know we are skipping our 5 courses today to participate in this live chat with you. Our question is: Why do you like Gallinari so much? Is it because he lives by the GTL code?
Bill Simmons (12:56 PM)

Of course. And he can make his own meat sauce.
Rob (Boston)

How would you define sports hell?
Bill Simmons (12:57 PM)

Cleveland if they lose the 2010 title and then LeBron leaves. I actually think we might see fire and brimstone if that happens.
David (Pahrump,Nv.)

When will the Celtics realize that in addition to Garnett, Pierce and Allen getting older that Doc Rivers isn't a very good coach
Bill Simmons (12:59 PM)

I thought he did a terrific job in the last 2 rounds of the 2008 Playoffs. But it's easy to forget that, if PJ Brown didn't get hot in the last quarter of Game 7, Doc Rivers would have been Jeff Van Gundy's partner these last 2 seasons on ABC and ESPN. It's true.
Matt (Ithaca, NY)

Heard your podcast with JackO, did anyone explain to you after how curling is actually scored? (diiferent coloured rings don't earn different amounts of points) Or were you joking?
Bill Simmons (1:00 PM)

I was actually kidding. my plan was to convince him that this whole fake scoring system existed, but the prob was, as we were talking about it, something else got us sidetracked and I forgot to go back to it... it was actually funny how it turned out, we sound like 2 idiots.
sports fan (BC)

where's the curglar discussion??
Bill Simmons (1:01 PM)

Let's start one! I need a run of curling and Curlgar questions.
Ryan (Cleveland)

Why do other teams seem convinced they have a realistic shot at signing Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Just because one side is interested doesn't make it mutual
Bill Simmons (1:03 PM)

A few mailbags ago, I remember writing a riff about "Stories That Just Need To Stop Being Covered Until We Get An Official Answer Because They're So Freaking Boring To Begin With." I think this qualifies. Just tell us when Z signs, and where. if he's playing more than 12 mins a game for your team in the playoffs, you're going home before mid-June.

In honor of Boner Stabone, who would be your all-time top 3 favorite tv best friends?? (i.e. Boner Stabone to Mike Seaver, Shawn Hunter to Cory Matthews)
Bill Simmons (1:05 PM)

1. George Kostanza; 2. Steve Sanders; 3. Cliff Klaven; 4. Shawn Hunter; 5. Snoop.
Connor (Portland, ME)

Bill, your thoughts on the potential Bret Hart-Vince McMahon showdown at WrestleMania XXVI?
Bill Simmons (1:07 PM)

I like it. I've been DVR-ing wrestling every week since the Bret Hart comeback and zooming through it. Did we make enough about the fact that The Miz is a legitimate WWE star now? I feel like this is an underrated story. He's the most successful MTV reality guy ever... of course, that's like calling someone "the most successful janitor ever" or something, but still.
Frank C. (CANADA)

21 million of Canada's population of 33 million watched the Canada Russia hockey game on tuesday. That's almost 70% of the population! What telecast can you think of that can capture 70% of the State's population?
Bill Simmons (1:08 PM)

You just inspired Gary Bettman to block more failing American teams from moving there.
Josh (Milwaukee)

You and ESPN pretty much worship the ground LeBron walks on. You gotta admit this guy still has work to do. His free throw percentage is dropping again, he can't hit 3's (yet continues to take them over over in big situations) and his one-on-one defense is overrated. Melo killed him last week. No way LBJ wins a title without another STAR.
Bill Simmons (1:09 PM)

Read more of Josh's LeBron's take at www.nitpick.com.
Bill Simmons (1:11 PM)

BTW, LeBron has a chance to become the first player ever to win "Player of the Month" for all six regular season months. He's averaging 32.3 PPG, 10.7 APG, 6.9 RPG and shooting 50% in February. You think we should be underplaying this?
