I’m crying at the accent bit
Bill and Ryan the goat duo
This is the kind of content we want!!
Why does house keep looking down
The grizzlies are a Robert Williams team
Ryen RusSwole
What has MPJ said that gets Russillo going every time he talks about him? Where are all these quotes that he talks about? I dont get it.
The biggest indicator for Ant taking a leap imo is a quote he gave after the Olympics. I don't remember the specific, but he said one of the best things he learned was from watching Steph without the ball. Steph off ball is one of his best talents. Ant picking that up will be real scary
Ryan’s hat? Anyone know what it means?
When I was listening at work, I literally couldn’t stop laughing holy shit 1:36:10
Bill is the worst impersonator lol
Porter Jr is slashing, passing better, defending better in the pre-season. First summer not rehabbing since the last surgery. Gained some weight, gonna play some 4. He’s fuckin yoked
TL;DR I'm going with the over
wow, watching this gives me serious anxiety, house WTF
Great analysis I agree I think Minnesota wins this trade because randle and KAT sucks in the playoffs and donte will be the best players on all three players so I think they win this trade especially if they don't resign him because in a big fan of naz reid especially the contract for the Cba rules is very good and he played well last year in the playoffs instead randle and kat is scared in the moment I would rather over pay hartenstien and keep donte and nova Knicks because it's nice to have 2nd option who can shoot 3 pts but it sucks struggled in the playoffs
Westbrook is good in the clippers I thought his going to retire a clippers especially he learned to sacrifice and he took a pay cut but the clippers started playing well last year until they traded harden and now they have harden they have to let go of him for Kris dunn since he doesn't fit with harden
Start putting time stamps in your podcasts boys, this isn’t 2005 anymore, get with the times
Put some respect on Saric’s name!
Plz take House off all podcasts
So nobody is gonna mention House's absured lamb chops side burns?
Bill being a total hypocrite as always. The Boston media mafia screwed up the Dame trade for Portland and Dame. They said “Portland can’t take that terrible trade from Miami” and Cronin so weak he got bullied took Holiday and then took Boston’s trash: permanently broken Rob Will & Brogdon, & pretended that Ayton was part of the same trade when it was a completely different trade for Nurk
Russilo is talking about Russ like his boy CP3 hasn't been in as many teams in the same amount of time
Sleeping on adams impact on the grizzlies and rockets. Anywhere he is bar pelicans has been good.
Just watching the facial expressions of House during all of this, already makes my day…- these three and the hoop collective, is the best collection of friends talking basketball i know on youtube. Love them all!
Ryan getting mad about the jokic quitting for horses take was my highlight of this episode. It's some weird cultish easy take to make that earns you a couple knowing looks chuckling to themselves like "omg right!?", it's complete bullshit.
Its not a full basketball pod unless Bill brings up he had clippers season tickets😅😅.
Finally the end of virtual meetings
Houston could be good/playoffs, if health and chemistry work out. It’s OKC’s year tho.
Officially a House fan now mffl
😂 "Simmons evicerates Russillo take"
HOW IN THE F….IS THE TEAM THAT WON THE WEST IN THE PLAYOFFS…..EASILY WITH A INJURED BEST PLAYERS…
RANKED 4 5 IN THE WEST…
JUST RIDICULOUS
The day the Over/Unders pod drops is like a holiday I celebrate every year.
Bill’s take on OKC being “durable” didn’t last long….. Hartenstein breaking his hand vs Denver, out 6 weeks
Teams traded for Russ then asked him to stand in the corner and shoot 3s lol maybe let him play his game
I liked those pods the most.
Keep this for every season.
Kinda wish you do this one around all-star break for adjusted ones,for remainder of a season
Just wasn't efficient enough to be a #2 option & defense isn't good. Should see his TS% go up with fewer bad jump shots. Defense is still a questionable though. Come playoff time – and depending on series – might be better starting Marshall over Thompson. Especially if Marshall is shooting well.
Most anticpated NBA podcast of the year
"The analysis was correct, the outcome was wrong" 😂
Admittedly I'm a Gonzaga fan but saying that Strawther isn't a shooter is wild 😂 Literally one of his best skills. He's also a great cutter and has a really good floater, Denver's system is similar to GU's with Timme at the time, hope he gets minutes this year.
DR J
Y'all are underrating Edey. His best NBA skills are a legit insane motor/cardio + offensive rebounding. To think he needs post-ups to be effective is to completely ignore his best attributes. He'll play 25min/game and average 14pts 8reb 2blk which is great production in that time for a rookie. And he'll do that just off his effort and size.
Odds Rusillo drives a Cyber Truck?
Hartenstein getting injured makes me smile for all the thunder overhyping.
I can see every pore on bills face.
