Jah looked tapped out. He also looks more like a woman than any man I've ever seen. Lookin like shenanay.
Why hasn't anyone talked about the bucks getting wrecked in game one? the suns and warriors apparently look shakey from close L's but the bucks just got ran off the floor.
Wright references Bill Simmons every episode now. And always to Wildes. As if he's auditioning for a guest spot on the pod.
Do these guys actually hate each other?
Naw nick you can’t take away charges cause people get hurt. You might as well take out charging all together if you worried about injuries.
His “shooting” hand…pistol or basketball?
Post season is not about being reckless driving to the hoop and dunk someone at all time but being smart, if there's a way for easy basket why not take that route instead of driving reckless abandoned and high percentage of being hurt for landing ackward when the opposite take the charge for playing smart.
Dont do that shee nick. Dont jinx it. Cmon. U know better
Even with a healthy Ja I had the Lakers in 6 🔪💯.
Remember folks , GOAT James has Led / Carried FOUR Rookie Head Coaches to the Finals . Could Darvin Ham be Number FIVE ? ⭐🌠⚡🌋🙈🙉🙊🔥💥😎😉😳🤠🤙🤘🤗🤑🙃🤔
I usually love nick wright takes but the charge take. The no offensive foul is dangerous. Shaq could just run through everyone and dunk. There should be a level of skill where you can’t just get a running start and jump and whoever is in the way it’s a foul on them. Idk i thibk it’s sdding an element of skill like not only do you have to jump and dunk but you have to beat your defender to. For position. If he gets to a spot and stands there and you try to go through him the game gets dangerously close to rugby lol
Brou too slick with that fingers comment
How can you guard somebody that is constantly jumping into you? If they find themselves with injuries is their problem, stop jumping into people if you want to avoid injuries.
nicks love for lebron and TLaw is comical😂😂😂😂
Nick better keep that same energy if the Lakers lose
They don’t have Adams or Clarke. Series was over before it started. Memphis needs the bigs
Game time 💯
You can tell Wright was an Alex Jones fan
This is the best show around
How about not running at the rim like a mad man when there’s a 7 footer at the basket
Broussard is back!
I’m a huge fan of the Lakers. Ever since 2000. With that being said…this series isn’t over. Simply cause Memphis will make adjustments, as they should they’re down 0-1. I dnt believe Ja will miss game 2 unless that hand is severely broken. If it is then yeah it’ll be over cause he makes that offense go. Also I expect Bane x JJJ to step it up a couple more notches game 2 on both ends. Either way this series isn’t over lol I wanna see the Lakers do this again going forward.
Nick “ ur buddy Bill Simmons “ Wright twice in two shows gives credit for listing to bills podcast or his team does, then he says hey ur buddy said like he doesn’t want to get invited to the BS pod, it’s obvious to those listing
Wilds use to talk more when the team was just on screen
Jump in the air and someone goes under you equaled a two piece to the eye back in the day (street or the hardwood didn't matter)
These people just dont like defense. Stop offense fouls and how do you stop people? They have already weakened defense enough. Offensive charge has been around forever and why now is it an issue?
Sorry nick I don't agree with the charge call on off ball defenders, This is a team sport, beat 1 man auto score/free throws, NO WAY, the travelling is already lenient, and Isiah Thomas has 0 possible plays to stop Shaq on a drive, not that he could, but if he took a charge, then maybe. It's the attacker's fault for not looking to pass or adjust (an ego check). And, taking a charge is a huge crowd pleasing david vs goliath play.
No make it an offensive foul! The offense has all the advantages already. Or players like Ja shouldn't attempt dangerous plays or live with the consequences. When will the defense get a break? Offense can travel, carry, offensive foul, flop, create 100% percent of the contact to get foul from a defender standing straight up. Might as well just remove the defense at the point
can nick let people talk without interrupting every 10 seconds?
Taking charges is how we got the euro step
The ilumantti will give lebron the BAPHOMET which is the 🐐 goat .
Lebron won't retire without the title .
He created 🤑🤑🤑in the NBA.
NBA is all business .
There will be a lot of injury
Its a good thing you pointed it out. Its very dangerous scenario as the baller is trying to get to the rim while the person taking the charge will definitely somewhat flop. This leaves the baller left out in the air unless they were able to dunk the theres something for them to prevent falling. Ja & Giannis injury should be looked upon in terms of rules in the future. Not to blame the defensive guys taking the charged but stepping in to take the charged its theyre tendency to fall back to lessen the force of the hit plus to sell the foul.
My suggestion is to move the half circle charge zone further out that way it will be a scenario when the charge is being taken at the ballers “take off” instead of at the Peak of the Layup and leave them helplessly falling…
So no help defense allowed in a league that already eliminated defense? Lol ok
Nick has the best "smug look" on TV today. 😁
