DISRESPECT TO JOKIC IS AMAZING!
towns is inconsistent..how gobert ended up winning 4 dpyo I don’t even know.. the guy is TERRIBLE defensively and offensively is atrocious.. they basically have nobody scoring from the bench.. ANT is alone.. this serie is over ‘in 6!! Wolves ain’t winning no games!! Denver is just too much …
JT I don’t think the Lakers will have the MLE.
Jordan was the fastest and highest jumping guy in the league. This is a huge thing.
They are "freaks of nature" in that way.
Idk why ppl thought ant could carry by himself. Whoever fooled themselves thinking kat can be a number 2 dude is trash not made for big games
Who do you subtract from the Wolves, and who do you add that the wolves could realistically trade for to complete the team?
Take that dpoy away from gobert. Super overrated
That did not happen to Jordan, Jordan just got swept lol
If we are to believe these two and declare that the Celtics are non-elite, home court losers with no actual superstars, they sure are overachieving for quite some time now. In that case, maybe the expectations are actually unjust and all the hate is unwarranted.
Lakers r out. How did you manage to talk abt them
I have been watching the games. the lakers sucked. the suns sucked. Dallas is good not great. the t wolves have a great defense but are sloppy on offense, and face facts, the nuggets haven't looked as good as they did last year. OKC is young and talented but has no experience, and then there is Boston. they have the best record, the best point differentials, they've lost 2 games in the playoffs and both times rebounded with a win. Jason is a Lakers homer who had the nerve to say that Lebron, who has been on vacation for weeks has been a better player than Tatum, and Colin is an all-time Celtics and Tatum hater. Watch as he smiles while Jason trashes the Celtics. its abundantly clear these two are as biased as they come.
Everybody convinced the series was over. Minnesota champ 2024. Only two games, from the reigning champs AND the current mvp (x3 casually), and all of the sudden Ops, wait, actually yea Nuggets are better, we knew from the getgo. Ooo fk off come on.
Jason Timpf is so much better than Colin. Keep doing your thing Jason.
I truly wonder what is going on in Jason’s head on this show sometimes. He’s got a look on his face like he got called into the bosses office lol
12:36 American basketball players
I'm a Celtics fan but the problem with JT will always be he doesn't have a consistent ability to decide to put the Team on his back and carry them when the others are misfiring. He's either hot or not and it just doesn't seem like it's his decision when or where that will happen.
So Redick wants to be fired quick I guess . Lebron is laughable at this point .
This is what championship teams do….they don’t give up or think they’re ever out of it. I’m not a Denver fan but even down 0-2 I figured they’d make the adjustments & end up taking the series to 7; I really believe they win it in 6 though now bc Minnesota won’t deal with 2 straight L’s well, guarantee it.
bro says miami and then says it’s a dome team when they don’t even play in a dome
Its wild how different these games can look.
I don’t know who this Colin guy is but he knows less about basketball than an average Joe. Ditch this guy please he doesn’t bring anything of value to the discussion
Colin is right – I remember watching MJ and thinking- he is like an improved version of the rest.
DO THIS TALKING HEADS KNOW WHAT RECENCY BIAS IS? 😅😅😅
Colin before u speak to rest of Minn Denver playoff series please let ur listeners heard u explain why u said it’s over for Denver what did u miss or are you just a prisoner of the moment 😂
The elephant in the room is LeBron any coach has to be able to coach LeBron because LeBron thinks he is the smartest MBA mind in the room and he just may be😂
Cowherd just skipping Indiana
Cooper Flagg is a highly touted American player who will be there soon enough. Surely the nba will promote him, right?
I completely agree about Tatum. He gives me OKC KD vibes. We all know he should be THE MAN but it seems like his "#2" teammate wants to be "THE MAN" even more.
Hardly talked about the pacers wtf
Why you always gotta drag Tatum through the mud?
Larry Bird fantastic coach. JJ is no Bird.
If towns had a post up game like he should, he would be awesome
