I’m rooting for the Bucks and Celtics. But the Cavs are my sleeper team. Top ranked offense and defense.
Rarely hear Jason throw shade, but when he does it's hilarious
Zion should talk to Moses Malone about losing weight…it worked for Barkley.
The play in just made me super anxious to see OKC with Chet. Giddey Chet pick n roll with SGA attacking off the dribble
76ers celtics won't happen.
It'll be Nets vs Hawks tbh
I think philli nets series will be more competitive than everyone thinks but lol wat do I know
Kyrie to the Raptors makes a lot of sense
This thunder team can choose to sacrifice in the next 3 years, and be the best team in the league for many many years. That's how high I am on this squad. I hate the way SGA dressed, but dang, he is so good and he will be a top 5 player in the next 5 years or sooner. Chet is gonna be amazing cuz he will never be the focal point of the team
BI is an incredible playmaker. Very, very undervalued as a playmaker.
“wife was outta town, so I got to sit down and watch the games”
Y’all this nigga just been watching the highlights this whole time 😂
Josh Giddey is a very interesting player. Calm and Confident never flustered or lost. High IQ especially for his age. He always seems to make the right play doesn’t really force anything.
Some people ride around playing music, I ride around playing Hoops Tonight. 😂
Hawks an easy out?? I’m not so sure. At least 6 games
Was not surprised at all that OKC beat the Pels. Thunder are dangerous. They proved this season in stretches that they can come back on anybody. But they don’t have the refinement, as a unit, of the older, currently better teams.
Jason el Tee?
Colin (without that trash ass host on his other show), John M, Jason and Draymond are the reason I check if anything new was uploaded on the channel twice a day. Top tier content.
offseason goal for this dude replace "ummmmmm" with something else. Will take you to another level . Peace
OKC has some good young players. The question will be who will they pay, keep, and trade when the time comes to re-sign their young talent because they can’t afford everyone.
I swear Caruso is 6’3 max
This guy did not say overrated Bradley Beal who’s on a super max and not a top 40 player for an top 15 player and all-defensive player 🤣 he needs to stop talking
Great channel lots of great analysis but he never has anything good to say about my team the Hawks. I know the Hawks aren’t as good as the Celtics but he gave more praise to OKC
Ik he picked the Celtics in 5 and I agree with some of his analysis, but you can just tell he doesn't like them lol. They are 2nd in defensive rating and 2nd in offensive rating.
Van Vleet need to be traded for a guard who can defend…
Living in Toronto and seeing the Raptors live in some games at ScotiaBank Centre, you can sense the difference when he's on the field vs when he's not…
There is no chemistry between him and Scottie Barnes sharing PG duties, causing a lot of time for bad shot selection for both players and Siakam… Worse, he has become a defensive liability in too many games. Yes he can score but specially this season, the shooting % are not great at ALL…
Yesterday, Lavine could not wait to have him one and one and simply shoot over him anytime he wanted…
He wants close to 30 million a yr and he can go get it elsewhere. If the Raptors are able to sign.
When Barnes has full time PG duties without worrying to get VanVleet involved, the ball movement is SO MUCH better and the pecking order of scoring is much clearer Between Siakam and Barnes. Everybody else either get open looks or get to exploit a matchup…Simple basketball…
Good analysis
Luke dort looks like small strong dude on court…he is small but he is strong built
Boston isn't better by a MILE. In the NBA the regular season doesn't matter. Its matchups & Boston's advantage is depth but in the playoffs depth is not used like it is in the regular season.
You deserve all the success you receive! You for basketball Johnny for football. Can’t go wrong!
