Ayo that intro was loud af on my car speaker lol
Steph was exhausted form the kings series, team chemistry was terrible, klay had nothing left in the tank, kuminga didn't buy into his role entirely, and Poole didn't even try on defense.
Lakers were the better team last year but dubs addressed all those issues over the off season. Let's hope they meet again!
Honestly with Klay slowing down it might make more sense for him to guard 3's and 4's (depending on their size) instead of other teams guards like he's done in the past.
If Kuminga rebounds well, he'll play a lot of minutes.
2018 Lebron is the greatest basketball player to ever live

Suns hater but makes sense he has to overate lakers for views. Suns showed what big 3 looks like
You can just tell this dudeās wife wears the pants in his marriage. He does whatever she tells him to do š āhappy wife, happy lifeā type of guy
No Version Of AD Is In The Jokic/Giannis/Steph Tierā¦ Those Guys Can Be The Clear-Cut #1 On A Championship Teamā¦ All 3 Won Rings With Fringe-Level All Stars As Their #2 (Murray/Middleton/Wiggins)
If AD Is Your Teamās Clear-Cut #1 Player, You Have No Shot At Winning A Championshipā¦ He Needs To Be In A Co-Superstar Role In Order To Win At That Level. He Canāt Be A Clear-Cut #1
The Richard Sherman ad read was so unexpected and cracked me tf upš
Didn't AD get cooked by The joker
Gonna need a clarification on āyouāre probably ranking Jayson Tatum, then Jalen brown, the Porzingus, then Derrick white and Jrue Holidayā are you saying you see Jrue as the 5th best player on Boston? š
Mailbag question: if the warriors find a way to win this year and Steph curry gets his 5th championship, is this era officially considered the Lebron AND Steph era as opposed to just lebrons?
checking in to see if jason has returned from lebron backside and apparently he hasnt. see ya next time!
I donāt want to sound too much like a warriors fan boy but I think your wrong about how the series went between them and the Lakers. I hear you about the lakers playing more defense but Klay had many wide open shots that just missed. Same for JP especially when it came to layups. Lakers defense could have been better but these guys couldnāt hit easy(for them) shots. Also Walker saving that game was an anomaly letās be real. A lot of weird happened to make the warriors lose in 6.
The rest of the Suns is what brought down Suns last year. Their shooting is significantly better this year.
love your content but making the argument āwe only lost because they got lucky is a losers mentalityā but then saying you think the lakers are closer to the nuggets than the suns because of point differential across the series is in my opinion a losers mentality like i agree with you congrats you lost by less points but the suns were still good enough to out execute them for 2 games the lakers couldnāt do it once also the suns got a lot better this off season the lakers did not so also donāt understand how you have the lakers over the suns in the rankings
Lol. Cant wait till the Warriors beat up the Lakers.
Lebron was hidden on defence in the finals in 2018.
Mailbag Question:
Youāve talked about how Steph and Jokic are statistically un-guard-able and this makes them top tier superstars. Does the Giannis and Dame two-man pick and roll game have the potential to be statistically un-guard-able, and if so, what does this mean for the League?
