Been waiting for this!! Hope everything is okay with your family Jason.
INSTANT CLICK NO MATTER WHAT ELSE I WAS WATCHING. 🎉❤
My condolences too, Jason, sorry to be a little late with that. 😢
Mailbag question (a little outdated by now):
Will going out of your way to come push someone, in a non basketball play, to irate a player to get into an altercation with you, so refs can go review an earlier play, set an ugly precedent?
Will players now do this all the time so earlier plays can get reviewed?
Curious to hear your take about this, don't think you've talked about it yet. 😊
Damn cant imagine the grief you went through that mustve been tough especially on Thanksgiving, but glad to see you back Jason!
I have a feeling Warriors will no longer be number 6 contenders right now. 😅😢
And MIN will be joining the top tier, is my prediction. 😊
The mavs were also up 20 so don't just mention that they were down with a minute to go. They just lost the concentration and it got ugly at the end. Though I agree they are too small
Warriors glazing is crazzzy
Thunder will be fine without Josh Kiddey.😂
My grandmother just passed as well so I know what your feeling my condolences Jason
I disagree that KAT is the odd man out, in fact I think he's the secret sauce to the defense. KAT allows Rudy to roam or fully contest out in space because KAT is behind him to get the rebound or help at the rim. It's the KAT-Rudy defense that allows them to matchup with the Nuggets. Take KAT away and Rudy can't roam off-ball as easily and the Wolves lose some of their size and rebounding advantage. KAT is also who allows them to punish smallball. I'd argue he's crucial to make this roster work.
Funny that nobody still talks about Miami even tho they have the most playoff wins in the last 4 years and always a contender that’s crazy to me the hate for the heat is real 🤦🏿♂️
Rip grandma ❤Fuk dude cooking part I remember too from my grandma on mother’s side,she was awsome too
Mailbag question: Does Giddeys situation limit the ceiling of this thunder team or do they actually get better without him as he is a non offensive threat?
Celtics beat the bucks like you knew they would? Really jason because I didn't expect giannis, khris, and Dame to go 7/30 in the first half. What a choke job by the bucks. I'm not a believer in this celts team if they're getting blown out by the magic while shooting 2x the free throws.
That timberwolves half court defense is really good, that bodes well in a playoff series. With gobert as a roaming big, I don't see him having problems staying on the court in a playoff series other than a hack a shack senerio
Miami Heat stays being slept on. What's new…
I get that the warriors schedule will get easier but shouldn't it be concerning that we've looked this bad collectively against actual Playoff quality teams? Especially at home? Its just disappointing because we started so well on the road after last years woes.
There is no way that Golden State is a contender this year unless they make a big move. If Steph doesn’t play well they have no chance.
My Guy!
Yo avid fan from Fort Worth. Would’ve been great to know you were in town could’ve tried to have you over to watch the mavs-lakers game the other day… would’ve been mad entertaining! you really cooked on this video man I’m sorry about the grandmother:( have a great day dude ❤
Most I’ve ever “missed” a YouTuber, never miss a video
This LeMedia channel.. suggest everyone stop supporting it.
Real NBA fans want our league back.
Bro put Lakers and Warriors in the thumbnail like we wouldn't notice 😂
I love how the Heat who were in the NBA finals literally 6 months ago haven't been mentioned
