  1. Neither cut that out I got the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA finals with Brooklyn winning in seven games Kevin Durant Finals MVP I feel like the defense in the East is better than the defense in the West and with Steph Curry out makes the Western conference stagnant on offense

  2. Just because Boston is struggling at the moment it won’t happen for long but you can’t count us out perk every team goes through something but Celtics still the best second team in the nba ☘️☘️☘️

  3. You've been playing and watching basketball too long yall know The celtics Need another scorer and they don't have the same coach Nets nuggets final in my Rudy tomjanovich voice😅🤣🤣🤣

  4. I believe my Clippers will win it all if everyone can stay healthy, play defense , and get their offense back by April. It's still just December. As bad as they looked, they're only 1.5 games behind Denver and Memphis.

    Clippers are the Western Conference version of the Celtics. Not very big. Can't protect the rim that well but a bunch of guys at 6'5 to '6'8 who can switch. But I believe Clippers are even more talented than the Celtics.

    Look at the guys coming off our bench: John Wall, Norman Powell, Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, and Nicolas Batum. We don't even use Robert Covington anymore. That's a bench that's better than half of the NBA's starting lineup. Kennard is the best shooter in the game.

    Vegas is favoring my Clippers as the favorites to win the West. We have lower odds than the Warriors. We're 8-1 to win it all and 4-1 to win the West. We'll just wait and see. We still have flaws. There is no killer in the West this year. The #1 seed in the West is looking like a game of musical chairs.

    I watched the Clippers vs. Hornets live with my family the other night. First game where all our players were available to play. I saw signs of greatness there but these were just the Hornets. We did turn the ball over a lot. Nico hit 7 threes to basically blow the game wide-open. That was his former team he had an ax to grind with.

    Clippers have quietly have won 5 of their last 6 while Celtics have lost 5 of their last 6. So my Clippers are trending in the right direction while the Celtics are headed the opposite. I like our chances against Philly later today and we usually do bad against them since we have no answer for Embiid.

    NBA Finals Predictions
    Bucks over Clippers in 6

    Of course , my heart will be rooting for the Clippers hard. But Bucks are bigger and they already won it before. Clippers might blow it again like usual. Ty Lue will bring out his midget lineup where my team can't rebound the ball any more.

    1. Milwaukee Bucks
    2. LA Clippers
    3. Brooklyn Nets (they're heating up 🔥)
    4. Boston Celtics
    5. Memphis Grizzlies

  5. Cs Offence fell off but is i think defense has risen from bottom 20 to top 10. Once the Cs fix their offensive struggles (which is literally just missing 3pt shots from good shooters) Theyll go on another win streak. Cs can beat the bucks if they firing on all cylinders

  6. No idea how you can have Tatum over Giannis for MVP rn. Giannis has better stats, record and Middleton been out most of the year.

  7. Stephen has some against players who can drive to the rim at will. He only likes players that can shoot. Giannis does everything, I don't understand why he hates

  8. Celtics gonna surprise everyone and get knocked out in the second round

  9. I agree with perk. Mazzulla isn’t the answer, the Celtics have collapsed. Udoka really closed this team’s window 🤦‍♂️

  10. 2021=Nets add Harden, Bucks eliminate Nets
    2022=Nets trade Harden for Simmons, C's elimate Nets

    Segment about the Bucks and C's in the 2023 NBA season= SAS "DoNt FoRgEt AbOuT tHoSe NeTs!!!"
    🙄🙄🙄

  11. Life goes by, and it goes by quick. Don't spend it wasting this opportunity you have. Get up and get to work on your dreams.

  12. Love the fact that the nets are underrated this season, they will surprise everyone big time

  13. Perk is really sucking tf out of the nets, I love how the media hates the nets time will come the nets will completely shut them up

  14. We ain’t gone act like Stephen A ain’t say what he said after perk clowned his jacket😂😂😂

  15. Stephen A gotta let this thing go with Gianni’s he’s been trying hard to push Tatum and Boston, all his numbers are better and now they have the best record, what is he talking about

  16. Tatum is a way better basketball player than Giannis skill wise. Curry is 10 times as skilled as Lebron. Being a better skilled basketball player however doesn’t mean you are better on the court when the game starts. A lot of people just look at stats and say “he must be better cause he averages more of this” you can’t really compare stats between different players on different teams with different systems. Maybe Tatum would average 30-8-8 on the Bucks. Maybe Giannis would average 40–10-5 on the Celtics. Who knows. Not you. If you genuinely believe Giannis is a better skilled basketball player than Tatum you just don’t understand basketball. That’s not to say you can’t draft Giannis ahead of Tatum, just as I would draft Shaq ahead of Curry. Even tho Curry is 100 times more skilled than Shaq.

  17. Perk has been riding that Boston train all year and now he wants to jump off 🤣🤣🤣
