tim legler is a COWARD
Chance done lost his damn mind! The answer is Magic Johnson. Nobody’s even a close second.
No okc once again main stream media and folks like this dont give okc love. They rather follow the main media. Podcasts these days are jokes. Thunder up

Mann was trying to cause a Luka injury.
Yes, Harden was good down the stretch, but let's be real. Just like Kwai, Luka Doncic has a very bad knee( bad since January) and it was showing Sunday after getting banged hard on Friday. He didn't have the lateral quickness he had Friday when he was able to stay in front of Harden. Harden was also stupidly "gifted" by coach Kidd by staying small with ZERO rim protection down the stretch. Lively or Gafford would have at least offered some resistance. BTW, I guess they didn't arrest Tyrese Maxey for the mugging the officials allowed him on Luka. And Paul George literally pushed 2 defenders to the ground while the officials swallowed their whistles on 2 of his made 3's
ayo chance from missouri u jus like me fr
Suns need Pat bev and athletic Bigs
Doris Burke is an embarrassment to the NBA
Love Steve and Makias man! Keep up the great work guys 🙌🏻
Come coach in Charlotte please JJ. Save us
I think harden has given his guys some pointers in defending Luka. They are defending him a similar way to the way teams defended prime harden in the playoffs. Get Luka to work in the inbetween range and make a quick decision. He doesn’t have the pull up midranges or pull-up jumpers in general and I expect the clippers to force that until they send the mavs packing
JJ i thought that You are more brilliant in talking and thinking as a journalist. Its kinda suprise but actually something different.
better change his name to Luka Oncic
Shoutout chance, knows what hes talking about
Jj we want and we need Ant on the pod
It’s official, JJ hates on Kyrie. He gets uncomfortable talking about him to the point that he skips the topic entirely
2.45 left in the 4th quarter, the possession right before the ant dunk, wolves on defense… Masterclass of defense on a string, rotation, that i may have ever seen as fluid. And then Ant comes down and drives the hammer.
Clippers showed some cojones I didn’t think they had man, fair dues
Clippers in 6😊
Having a 30 pts lead early in the game with the way all these teams jack up 3s, no lead is safe anymore
Harden has to do this consistently though man, remember last year vs Celtics he was great in 2 game and then disappeared in the last two in a 4-3 loss.
Bradley Beals contract is the only one in the NBA worse than Tobias Harris 😂😂😂
Nice golf flex JJ, with the Merion CC hat!
You can’t tell me the pacers series has been better than the magic series. Both of those teams won’t do anything in the playoffs either
Kawaii been stealing money for years now clips need to cut the cord
JJ’s best reaction was… the silence when Mavs tied the game 😮😮😮!!!! Showed true colors right there…
Really JJ? No breakdown on Game 2 and 3?
Man talk about OKC!!!
I think calling the fouls that were not actual fouls didn’t help at all. At least be consistent with the foul calls. And you not addressing that is strange. Notice as frustrating as that game was for the Mav’s, they didn’t start any fights of cause egregious fouls.
Does Luka got a cold or flu? He looked sick.

As soon as the suns traded for Beal I knew all the hype was bs that team is trash and always will be
Harden was terrific yesterday. Honestly i feel like he and PG aggression level rises without Kawhi! It will be interesting to see how they manage him the rest of the series…..
jj mavs need you
Just say that Joel is soft and dirty because he is.
Not sure which was weirder: Harden showing up or Paul George hitting a big shot in the playoffs.
Thankyouuu finally media heads not talking about just the Mavericks
As a mavs fan, even in a painful playoff loss, always look forward to JJ and company's reactions and breakdown of the game. There are only a handful of sources (both mainstream/national and more independent media) that are worth listening to when it comes to basketball, and this channel is one of them.
Way too much talk about Luka. Bro has been like the 4th best player in that series. Was embarrassing seeing all the glazing for playing good defense against a broken Kawhi in one game.
Minnesota's switching on defense is what i would call "psychotically good"
JJ hates OKC. Haven't talked about them all playoffs and they just SWEPT!
is there a version where its just JJ?
NA there aint no way JJ isnt baked in this one HAHA. respect.
