Jason will you be doing a breakdown about this on your own show? Ever since Colin started swinging on Sean Paytons nuts I can’t stand listening to his podcasts. Only time I’ll listen in on his show again is next year when Denver sucks again and see what excuse he uses for Payton next year since Russ is gone.
And for some reason Phoenix underperforming is KD's fault because he's not a good enough leader because he's not vocal enough (no idea how Colin would know that, he or any of us aren't in the locker room or practice or anything) but then Jokic who he also says isn't vocal is a great leader? And KD has to take Phoenix as his team which is incredibly vague and Colin doesn't explain how he hasn't done that
You can't use the season stats for the Knicks. Use after Julius Randle went down. Knicks were bad vs those teams earlier in the season. That was a different team
It took Kobe 2 years. And then he became the best player in the nba for 15 years, until David stern killed the Paul trade…
Then the LeBron to the Heat trade changed everything… tell me I’m wrong?!
oh god i gotta sit here and listen to jason timpf ugh. this dude does not know basketball at all
Colin doesn’t know basketball. He shouldn’t tlk basketball. Stick to football. He just said Luka solved kyrie issue 1 n 2 he said Luka might be a better scorer than mj n lebron
CeltiKKKs will choke like always. The nba is way too deep and their 2 players aren’t good enough
Clippers over mavs
Saying Lukas comp is LeBron has to be one of the worst sports takes I have ever heard
NBA……….BORING.
They are no big men in the league
Luka is a taller, slower, more efficient James Harden with a higher basketball iq
Embiid played OKC and the Heat in his first two games back. Pay attention man 🤦♂️
LMFAO Suns are playing Denver? what lol
the lakers are barely a different team from last year c'mon now you aren't slick
I can’t believe how overlooked SGA is in the MVP conversation. He’s got a bunch of 21 year olds with 57 wins. There’s no debate
Luka does not have the weakest roster geez. The media cannot stop meadiaing
lol idk how colin is so good at being absolutely wrong on almost every take lol
Luka only started being this good since the trades! I love Luka but he’s not Jokic. Jokic doesn’t have superstar teammates. Then he takes his team to top seed again?! And Jamal missed 26 games this season. It all matters!
Luka is real mvp I don't care nuggets standing #2 or wat luka average 34.6 points 8 rebounds 9 assists
Jason thank goodness you clearly see Jokic is the MVP! I watch you all the time and respect your opinion. You haven’t let me down. Please keep teaching this guy how to analyze correctly.
Please stop saying uncle Colin. It's creepy
I like how cowherd avoids taking about Miami
Not even a word abt the thunder
I mean what’s the record cvs those teams w OG in the lineup
Shai for mvp
Did you guys forget Larry Bird?
How many wins did joker have with his first MVP ?
Luka/Kyrie will be a problem
For the west…
As a Knicks fan I’d like to see us offload Randle and think Golden State would be a good, realistic landing spot. I’d love to go get another star but am undecided who fits the bill. I like the Mitchell Robinson-Isaiah Hartenstein Duo, Brunson and OG are obviously blue chip starters, but we need more shot creation. Josh Hart and Donte are great pieces to be able to shift lineups, but it sure would be nice to get an efficient shot creator that can be Julius Randle with more 3pt ability and less volume need. Who fits the bill?
Dallas? The team OKC bodied all year? Not a supporter of either team, but no serious person rates the Mavericks like that.
every team is "very interesting" to colin 😂
YOU TUBE CHANNEL. Colin popped a perc when he shot that intro..
keep in mind Jokic won mvp with the same standings as the Mavs
Listening to Colin is so obvious he doesn't know or watch basketball. His comments are the most generic shit outside if SAS in sports media
I’m so sick of this Luka praising fuck yall with that shit he hasn’t done anything
I dont want to be too snarky about this, but if Kyrie could figure out how to play and succeed with Lebron, why are we giving Luka credit for fixing him?
It's suns vs timberwolves not Denver
Wolves dont exist i guess damn
"Milwaukee is a 500 team vs the West" Well they are 3-3 vs the top 3, but 6 & 2 vs the next 4 in the west.
Completely unpredicatable.
