    Windy asked why Jayson Tatum is aggrieved, it’s because you morons in the media keep asking him about the Olympics lol. Stop asking about it and that story goes away which is exactly what JT would prefer.

  7. @marcr196

    What is funny is that if we look back at the end of the season, some of these picks will seem insane, despite every pick being pretty defensible as of today.

  12. @timstile5840

    Tatum played great in the finals …and Kerr sat him because celtics beat down the warriros by 50 in regular season

  13. @Velveteenvision

    Celtics won tons of games without Porzingis.. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem for them at all. The gap between the Celtics and Okc is massive. Okc is a great regular season team but that doesn’t always translate to playoff success. I’m not even a Celtics fan.

  14. @noneofyourbusiness8349

    Celtics most underrated team in nba history. All this hate by the media should fuel them to win 70 games. Not likely with load management though.

  15. @blablablaa14

    Can someone sit with Brian and just draw on a piece of paper how a snake draft works? It’s truly so easy and he cannot figure it out

  16. @drsapnis

    guys,please get it together. one is complaining about snake, one not allowing others to speak . please add more content and less reality show

  17. @WheresWaldo05

    Porz missed tons of games last season also. And they still had all those wins. Terrible argument by Bontemps.

    Also, saying if you are the best in the west you will probably have a tons of wins…. makes zero sense. The west is the tougher conference. Teams will likely all have lesser wins due to winning against eachorher more often than the very top heavy East. Make it make sense Bontemps.

  18. @alexpinegar9638

    Trivia question – last year, what team in the EC had the second best record against teams with records above .500?

    OKC isn't sneaking up on anyone this year. There's a difference between winning when no one is prepared, and winning when everyone is upset you were picked to win the division, which is where they're at . You've put a big bullseye on them here. Second, OKC is small. The entire starting lineup is under 200-pounds, including the center. Half the league has 20-pounds on them at almost every position. 3rd, adding a couple of role playing defenders and removing offense doesn't necessarily improve the team. Caruso (185-pounds) might defend well for his size, but he also scores 5 ppg and 2 apg less every 36-minutes than Giddey. Hartenstein can only play if Chet sits or moves to the 4, both of which is going to affect their offense. I even question whether they're better defensively? Caruso may be a little longer, but he gives up 50-pounds to Luka instead of the 30 Dort gives up, and he's not faster than most West point guards. Hartenstein is no better, or actually inferior, to every single starting center and backup center on a Texas NBA team. All of them. Finally, after the trade, Dallas went 22-7; that's a 62-game pace. Now they get a full training camp and expanded their depth. OKC is not on their level. OKC actually overperformed their talent last year; they're likely to be 3rd or 4th in the West this year. Every team in the league is going to come into OKC with a chip on their shoulder, and they're not prepared for it.

    Finally someone mentions injury luck. Every team in the East had their best player miss significant games and the Celtics didn't. The Celtics were the best team anyway but they definitely weren't as good as their record showed. The competition was severely diminished. Embiid, Mitchell, Garland, Randel, Trae Young, Haliburton, Lavine, Giannis, Dame, and Jimmy Butler all missed a significant amount of games while the Celtics stars were all relatively healthy.
    The Celtics were good but the gap at the end of the season record wise wasn't equivalent to how much better Boston was than everyone else.

    Sacramento had injury luck 2 years ago and finished with the 2 seed in the West. Injury luck is a real thing.

  27. @youngju8494

    So the Mavs have the best offense on paper but we're suppose to place other teams above them because of Mavs supposed lack of defense?

    Then shouldn't we not consider Luka for Mvp in the same manner.

  29. @quebeezy7163

    Someone simply explain to windy in the snake draft if he’s last he simply ends one round and then immediately begins the next one. It’s still one pick per round for each of em

  31. @tokubeihebi9610

    I have realized the best drafts and conversations with Windy always have Stephen A. Smith out. I like this Stephen B. Smith

  32. @TheSamps0n

    How Windhorst expects us to react when he knows how a snake draft works but pretends he doesn’t get it: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
