I said a few videos ago he gon have lakers top 5 😩
WC will have OKC, Mavs, Wolves, Nuggets, Suns, Lakers.
Grizz and Pelicans are dark horses.
I"m not convinced the GsW got better and that Draymond can keep his cool.
Spurs and Rockets will be fighting for the 10 seed this season.
Clippers are tanking BIG TIME with PG13 gone and Kawhi injured.
This is why Beal HAS to come off the bench
KD needs to go back to the Warriors to win another champ
ur glazing the lakers hard as a laker fan icl
Putting the Suns this high is so dumb imo. They won 0 playoff games and were as healthy as they’re ever going to be. Now they’re older and the same team. Tyus Jones isn’t moving mountains. They replaced Eubanks with another ass center in Plumlee.
The Heat have a way higher chance to win the title yet are 10 teams behind. The Grizzlies are also far more talented and better.
Lakers haters are cracking me up. Guzzling the haterade.
Who are the 4 teams he thinks have no flaws? The only one I cant think of is Boston..
Who are the top 4?
Hey it might work, I hear KD is up to 158 lbs
I don’t think people realize how bad Mason Plumlee is.
Lakers top 2 player both played 70+ games and still won less game the Suns and the Suns were the worse team in the 4th quarter. I feel like Suns with a point guard who can organize their offense has a higher ceiling than the Lakers who bringing back the same team. Only one of the these teams has the potential to win 50+ games and it's not the Lakers.
The lakers aren’t as good as u think Jason
Question: I've heard you say that LeBron is the GOAT, can you do a breakdown explaining your blasphemy?
This guy and his bias for the Lakers oh my
The Suns problems last season:
1. Turned over the ball too much.
2. Not good in the 4th quarter without a PG for the entire season.
3. Backup center was horrible.
4. Needed another wing defender.
5. Needed more youth and athleticism on the team.
6. Coaching needed to improve and the team didn't believe in Vogel.
How they addressed each of these things:
1. Signed two of the best AST/TO ratio PGs in the league in Tyus Jones and Monte Morris.
2. Signed a good PG in Tyus Jones to fix this problem, and they have some continuity with most of the guys coming back.
3. Signed an upgrade in Mason Plumlee.
4. Drafted the best defender in the draft in Ryan Dunn.
5. Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, and Jalen Bridges bring youth and athleticism.
6. Coach Bud is an upgrade to Vogel.
Grayson Allen was out of the timberwolves series from the start, was a huge loss made it easier to defend the suns
40 year old led laker team is unjustly high
Lakers are better than the suns??? May as well put the Lakers as the number one ranked team!!!😅
Beal trade was the nail in the coffin.. suns will be 1st round or play in for years now
