One thing that didn't make the clip was discussing the All Star vote. Curious what you all think…. As of now, in the West front court (w/ 3 available spots) we have Jokic, Sabonis as locks and either LeBron or Lauri in the 3rd spot. Both so good and deserving (but who are we kidding, the fan vote makes LBJ a starter). Also Davis would've probably made it but he'll likely miss too much time. Thoughts?
I was literally just wondering when JJ was going to do an extended segment on Sacto. Light the beam!
I still think the Kings are fools gold. Their weak bench will come back to haunt them.
It's about damn time you talk about the Kings !!!!! Thank you.
How about tyrese sabonis trade jj?
Do you guys think that the nba should expand? With the amount of scoring both at the NBA level by teams and individuals lighting it up in the G League, it feels like it’s only a matter of time. There’s so much talent that could be added with two teams added in Seattle and LV while moving the TWolves or Grizzlies to the East
Great commentary on the Kings. Glad you aren't eating your words about Hali but are instead showing love to Sabonis. You mentioned the negative ratings, even with Sabonis on the floor. As a Kings fan who has watched most of our games this year, we desperately need a backup 5. Sabonis is having to do too much at the rim and he's not a great rim protector. If we were able to bring in someone like Mason Plumlee for little loss I think that would go a long way to solving our defensive issues.
Calling Sabonis "Jokic Lite" is ironic considering Jokic is basically (Arvydas) Sabonis Lite.
Pacer fan here, Sabonis is my favorite player all time and I can never believe how he’s not held in the same regard as the other top 10 players in the league…..his numbers are mental
But you were shi*tting on the Kings for trading Hali for Sabonis.
Kings have had 6th easiest schedule and only 5 games out of 13 seed. Exciting team but more likely to barely hold onto play in game than home court round 1. Just my two cents.
I love prediction reviews, you’re the man for doing them. Celtics 6th is a tough take 😂. I graduated with Joey chew in 06 n played basketball with him so I had inside info on his bball iq, alpha plus grit, and adapting to in game situations better than anyone I’ve known. (Ex leading wvu over Cousins, Wall, Bledsoe, Patterson Kentucky team in ncaa) They have had the easiest schedule in nba so that’s certainly helped him get adjusted to new role. Our 06 Bishop Hendricken team was just voted best team in Rhode Island since 2000, quick humble brag. He hit game winner in State Championship to cap off 3 state titles and only undefeated team in BH history to that point. Growing up in northeast already prepared him for the intensity of this fanbase and being a local kid keeps 90% of the local toxicity at bay. (We grew up 45 mins out of Boston.) Joey Chew just needs his gum and a basketball n he’s happy😂
Show some love to the 916ickness sac town
Love the kings but let’s be real they not making it pass the 2nd round at best!
Let’s not though JJ. Seriously. Let’s play hard to get. Like duh. When in doubt play hard to get. Seriously.
Finally getting some attention!! #SacramentoProud
Oh now JJ wants to talk about the KINGS 🤣
JJ is my, "main man." He just moved up the ranks as a top-tier member of sports broadcasting. JJ will henceforth be regarded as one of the great ones. We have been asking people to please discuss the Kings. The job that Mike Brown is doing with the Kings needs the league's attention. Thanks, JJ!
Talk about em!!!
Love this JJ
Great recognition and analysis here.
Bron Zion Joker sorry Sabo
