Jason Timpf discusses his Top 5 takeaways from the start of the NBA season. He explains where LeBron James’ Lakers need to improve to become a contender, how Steph Curry and the Warriors are off to a hot start, and why Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are still the BEST team in the NBA. Jason then discusses how Jayson Tatum has taken the next step into being one of the best players in the NBA for the Boston Celtics, and why this year’s NBA trade deadline looks like it could be one of the best ones yet.

wait so if Celtics are the best team in the East… and somehow, Steph Curry owns Boston and Sacramento for some damn reason he can’t stop shredding them when he shows up…. and Bostons weakness is slow down offense? And we picked up Cp3…. bro do not let us get to the finals cuz Boston is free. Idk how we get past the Nuggets but if we do, boston is another free ring
I feel like jokic has got to a point as a scorer that it might be better to just throw the kitchen sink at him and pray the other players miss their open threes.
Ive been watching some nuggets games and jokic just seems entirely unbothered.
I dont recall many times ive seen somebody approach the game with such ease
I think the word to describe Jordan Poole is “mercurial”.
Wow y’all still on the mavs train until Luka wins something smh
Embid MVP dude ! 32.11.6 53% 42% deep
What happened with The Volume channel?
I am from Hong Kong, love your analysis 💪🏻💪🏻
I mean lebron getting 4 ft’s is RIDICULOUS regardless. He got hacked over and over
The Nuggets point is a little absurd when they’ve played 5 of those games at home including all of their stiff comp in their own building
Did Jarred Vanderbilt really grow 2 inches over the summer?
What do you think of the timberwolves so far and do you think Anthony Edwards’s could reach like top 10 if he consistently plays defense and shoots this well
How bout Warrior tix?
Is it true Jason’s locked in that room until 50k subscribers?
Mailbag: Hey Jason, what do you think of Ausar Thompsons’ potential? He didn’t get as much attention as Amen on Overtime elite, or the draft. I think he can be better than Amen, and think he can be a better version of Igoudala on the Warriors. What do you think?
I wanna see Steph get MVP this year. The guys just on another level
As a warriors fan I’m taking a history lap, but it’s not hard to considering they look better on the road than they ever did last season
ANY TEAM LEBRON IS ON, will need a upgrade, because he ain't 💩, and will ALWAYS NEED HELP 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Your assessment of the Nuggets “difficult” schedule failed to take into account that 5 of their games have been at home, while the Mavs & Warriors have only had 3 & 2 home games respectively.
lebum is getting smacked around by dillon brooks and co 🤣
Mailbag: can you give a breakdown on cam Thomas scoring ability, I feel like it’s not being talked about enough.
