Bucks vs Lakers in the finals. Boston and the Nuggets lost important depth. Phoenix lacks defense.
You had to clarify of course , but Joel is like a huge looser. I don't mind saying it , i am not getting paid for this comment 🙂
no mention of th Cavs? Haven't they leapfrogged over Philly and the Heat, due to the Cavs quality off season signings?
Lakers tier one? Western Conf Finals last year was a fluke.
LAKERS IN 0
do you know what’s very boring about professional basketball?
same teams, same names, same thoughts, same everything. year, after year, after year.
of course you will follow the big names.
no, team, could ever have any chance,
after all, that wouldn’t create sponsorship, or popularity, or anything of any unique anything.
the nba, is nothing more than a high school popularity contest where whoever has the most money and fame is always going to be your, ‘pick’
and, it’s correct, it’s nice and safe and totally gonna be one of your ‘predictions’
i and many others will start watching again when it becomes unpredictable
not predictable
Disrepect to the heat is wild
My top 5
1. Celtics
2.nuggets
3.bucks
4.lakers
5. Suns
Lakers aren’t tier 1 lol. The second they played a healthy elite team they got swept. They can still win a championship but they still aren’t tier 1.
Classic JJ adding the Lakers in his tier 1 for views and leaving the Celtics out of the title completely
as a Lakers fan, i would say
1. Bucks
2. Nuggets
3. Celtics
4. Lakers
5. Suns
Dame and Giannis is going to be legendary
That draftkings money must be nice. They really throw it at podcasters like it's nothin.
I mean marcus smart and Malcom brogdan and Robert Williams. That's 3 players
Im trying to understand why JJ with so much basketball knowledge doesn't have the Clippers anywhere in that list.
Even with them being injured. When healthy they're top 5
Lakers not in the playoffs this season and Suns a six seed in the West after Nuggets, Kings, Grizzles, OKC, Warriors.
No way AD and LeBron will stay healthy and tte rest of the team hust not competitive without them.
Dallas Mavericks not being here is crazy. They’ve the 2nd best player in the league & the only guy who can go h2h against Jokic & outplay him in a playoffs
Celtics vs Suns Finals will be 🔥 Celtics will win that series in 6 tho
As a Russ fan it’s
1. Bucks
2.clippers
3.Celtics
4.lakers
5.suns
Celtics
Bucks
Nuggets
Suns
(Huge Cliff)
Warriors
Clippers
Lakers
(Bigger cliff)
Everyone else
Let's go Warriors!! 👍👏🥳🥳🔥🔥
The Lakers are NOT a championship team. What are people smoking?
THE TIMBERWOLVES ARE WINNING IT ALL THIS YEAR
ITSSSSSS TIMEEEEEEEE
Warriors should be on there best player in the world on that team
Let’s go Celtics ☘️
My Tier One Teams – Nuggets, Suns, Celtics, Bucks, (top contenders)
My Tier Two Teams – Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Cavs (contenders)
My Tier Three Teams – Kings, Grizzlies, 76ers, Knicks, Pelicans, Heat, (high playoffs chances)
My Tier Four Teams – Hawks, Pacers, Bulls, Thunder, Mavericks, Rockets, Jazz, Timberwolves, Blazers, Magic, Nets (good play-in chance/possible playoffs)
My Tier 5 Teams – Pistons, Spurs, Raptors, Hornets, Wizards, (low play-in chances/miss playoffs)
Let me know what you guys think
Iam srry but to me, the suns dnt belong in tier 1. I respect how offensively great they mostly likely will be. But they lack defense and bench depth. They will be very interesting to watch tho. 🤷🏿♂️
suns? lmaooo 2nd exit TOP
Everybody so excited to se a dame and Gianni’s pick and roll.. but let’s be real it won’t be better than harden and embiid and look how far it got them
Celtics also lost Rob Williams, i obviously know the health history…but when he is on the court the team was significantly better and he finally had a whole offseason to train instead of rehab. Thats a big loss, especially since porzinguz has his own health issues and Al is 54 years old and doesnt play back to backs.
Miami heat slept on…for the fourth year in a row. Lets see how that goes.
While the Celtics will be a tough out; they haven't proven that they can get over the hump in the playoffs. So realistically the only true contender in the East would be the Bucks. Obviously it's early projections, but until the Jays prove they can be consistent in the POs.
If Steven Adams wasn’t hurt the Lakers don’t beat the Grizzlies. They are fools gold.
Lets go Bucks!!
Jrue is way better than smart, playoffs.. jrue had 2 game winning defensive plays against smart. celtics did good grabbing him.. feel bad for jrue, moving and switching schools. I would have been completely fine with jrue staying in milwaukee.. but,, it is what it is… go bucks
Bucks/suns
Championship/rematch
Thats whats up
Crazy to hear you put the Pistons in a tier of their own above tier 1 and also predict the warriors to go 0-82, but then again you are JJ so who am I to question it?
