Stephen A been putting in that work with Molly 1:15
Dangerous team is different than best team 😂
It’s wild they get paid to sound like dumbasses, Nuggets are the best team in the West like do they even watch ball? 😂
As a Suns fan I want to see Suns vs Clippers! The West Playoffs is going to be crazy!
i disagree bith both of them…. im still going warriors all the way and not because they have the best roster or the deepest roster.
2 reasons: 1 they been there before, they improve during offseason (they arent big game chokers) 2 basketball is all of what you said, entire roster including coach and gameplan. how many times have we seen gsw suck multiple games for whatever reason, then the next game they play world class and keep the most dangerous team to 15 points in a quarter twice a game while one of four players catches fire? and i dont mean getting to the line 10 times playing 40 minutes and taking 30 attempts… im talking accuracy!
curry, klay, wiggins, poole all 4 of them have had 40 point games when teammates were throwing bricks, and say what you wanna say but they have 2 top 10 wing defenders AND draymond green for defense. then you can add the roleplayers like gp2 (most steals per minute 2021-2022) or the 3 and D players that see many games with 10-20 minutes and simply shooting 50-66% from three on just 4 attempts.
then we have a center that doesnt appear on the scoring list untill you doubleteam curry or faceguard klay… now bigman is rolling and catches 80%fg for 12-16 points
same with draymond, the guy averages triple singles… laugh while you can! im pretty sure you dont remember the first 5 years of his career where if steph or klay were getting doubleteamed in a playoff series green was averaging 27 pts a game on 60-37-78 …. yes draymond shot the 2 @ 60% 3 near 40% before the whole league had 2 or more on their roster that could do that and near 80% FT.
im out…. not saying warriors gonna get their chip again, im just saying theyve proven people wrong too much and now people discounting them again…… plain stupid.
Go clippers 🎉❤
Finally I agree on something with Perk. Clippers are for sure a mine for anyone going their way in the playoffs
imagine if Clippers really win this year. What a great finale for Westbrook would be.
Y’all still watch first take? 😂
1:00 Stephen A. Smith is clapping molly’s cheeks and they’re not even trying to hide it😂😂😂
The “man of the hour” … the racist Kendrick Perkins
Why do we always have to hear terrible opinions from ex fat Celtics players. We went from Antoine Walker to now Kendrick Perkins.
West finals….king vs clippers
What does it take to convince fans that the Clippers are contenders? Or fans say something about Westbrook and how terrible he is and how he makes the Clippers worse. This guy plays his heart out every game. He does not take nights off. I am hoping this team wins the championship for the fact that there are too many fans who ridicule this team and Westbrook.
It would be really fun if Nuggets win the west
Booker and KD > Kawhi and Paul George.
why perk always yelling for
Perkins is racist. If it was the other way. The person would of been fired. ESPN sucks
I thought the Nuggets had a solid defense ….the west is lacking in defense from the top teams. Suns definitely have a chance
This man said the Clippers. 🤦🏾♂️😂
Clippers vs bucks finals
Good debate! Both made valid points.
Stephen A, glazes KD like crazy man
Here they go again…
You’ll think Perk was a superstar the way he talk about basketball
Did perk and her really say what I think they jst said 😂😂😂
When you realize everybody in the west has a below.500 record on the road other than the Kings🤦🏾♂️
Molly! "Stephen A. me and Perk we got range"
Man Perk is a comedian
Cap 🧢
I thought perk would say the kings😂
Sup Ese 😂
Anything Perk says is BS at this point… dude will start saying race is a factor in anything
I think Sacramento is the most dangerous team in the West, and this their year.
Lakers handing out Gentlemen Sweeps to all opponents when LeBron comes back.
Lmao perk did not just say the clippers. Bruh they always fold. 😂😂😂😂
This man said confence at least twice and stop saying capitalise like it’s two words ffs 😂😂
Kendrick Perkens come on this man dk what he saying smh
Nobody scares of Suns. Clippers in 6
Durant scored 27 in 25 barely getting the ball, pretty much scoring at will shooting the lights out
Come on perks you dk what you saying
adding KD to a playoff run wont win a ring, it took miami a year to get it right and the suns system is not the same as GSW
top 3 seeds in the west are WEAK lmao
Why is perk still working for espn?!
Warriors are the most dangerous, they are the champions, can’t count them out
The warriors will win the championship
Stephen A could be a hypricote. He never criticize Kd for asking for a trade. How can a player be a top 5 player if he keeps running from team to team?
stephen a and molly def got something going on
Clippers lost to the Suns recently. Perk forgot that part tho 😂
