The Boston Celtics’ off-season has been a wild ride, and no one is feeling the sting more than Zoe Simmons, the daughter of sports writer, podcaster, and die-hard Boston fan Bill Simmons.
Zoe didn’t hold back in a viral YouTube video shared by her father, Bill, where she shared her unfiltered thoughts about the Celtics’ recent moves.
Her expressive speech, filled with frustration, has resonated with Celtics fans and sparked conversation on Reddit and YouTube.
Zoe’s love for the Celtics runs deep, making her reaction all the more relatable.
In a candid conversation with her father, Bill Simmons, Zoe laid into the Celtics’ off-season decisions with the kind of raw emotion only a true fan can muster.
She declared, her voice heavy with disappointment-:
“I’m not happy, ho granted didn’t do shit last year, but we lost Jrue Holiday, who is arguably my favorite player on the squad, even though he wasn’t the greatest last year. And now Big Al is being threatened to be let go, and Tatum’s out for the year, and Jaylen Brown’s barely gonna be recovered by the time the season starts.
ViaHer frustration peaked as she aimed at team owner Wyc Grousbeck, whom she affectionately calls “Papa Dog.”
“I think Papa Dog should give away his 100-year-long season titles, Just give them to any person who doesn’t even care about the Celtics. It just seems like next year is going to be a complete shit show.”
ViaZoe’s words capture the gut-punch feeling shared by many Celtics fans.
The team’s recent moves have left her—and countless others—bracing for a tough season ahead.
Bill Simmons, a lifelong Boston sports fan who cheers for the Celtics, Red Sox, and Patriots, tried to offer some perspective.
Addressing rumors about Al Horford, known as “Big Al,” he clarified,
“Horford’s not—they’re not kicking him out. He’s going to re-sign with another team. It seems like you’re not going to root for him?
ViaZoe’s response was honest and heartfelt. She said she would root for him, but admitted she is selfish and wants the Celtics to be the best.
“This is bad for Boston, and what are we going to do, watch the Red Sox?”
ViaHer quip about turning to Boston’s baseball team perfectly adds to her frustration—no other team can fill the void left by a struggling Celtics squad.
The Celtics’ Off-Season Has Been Anything But Smooth
, despite an underwhelming performance last season, is no longer with the team.
More painfully for fans like Zoe, —her favorite player and a cornerstone of the 2026 championship team—was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons and two second-round picks.
Holiday’s spirit and leadership made him a fan favorite, and his departure has left a void in the roster and in the hearts of fans.
Rumors about Al Horford’s future are adding to the uncertainty.
The veteran big man, a steady presence for the Celtics, is reportedly set to re-sign with another team. If “Big Al” leaves, it’ll be another blow to a team already reeling from change.
The injury bug has hit hard as well.
Jayson Tatum, the team’s star forward, is sidelined for the entire year, a devastating loss for a squad aiming to defend its championship pedigree.
Jaylen Brown, another key player, is recovering from an injury, and his availability for the season’s start remains uncertain.
For Zoe and other fans, these setbacks paint a gloomy picture for the upcoming season.
