Denver will not get past Phoenix because Ayton matches up so well with Jokic.
Oooohhh so now the excuse is drop coverage š got it
Why didnāt you cover the Mavs??
LeBron destroyed Bosh's career, then Love's, then AD's.
If you drop to 66 games or so, you don't have to lose any nationally televised games. You only lose the expected percentage at the gate and on local broadcasts. That'll be offset by higher viewership and higher quality games, and I think a 20% hike in ticket prices would be justifiable with the increased quality and importance of games.
limited player but got 20 boards and 3 blocks why don't you ever talk about your team when they lose? How come ad has to play through his injuries but kawhi can take a year and some off? Just a regular celtic fan with 1 title since Bird LMAO talk about that
Jokic is good but I still donāt think he is a top 5 player he has no defensive skills when it really matters he wonāt stop no shots
There is no building case. He is the clear cut mvp unless Giannis' efficiency goes off a cliff the rest of the season and they win more games. Nobody else is in the conversation.
Totally agree with your take on AD. Heās like an English sports car – awesome when heās fine-tuned fine, but unpredictable and unreliable otherwise.
Sorry about the Lakers losing. I bet on them when they were up 16 to 14 and naturally immediately go down 20 after they were notified of my bet.
Warriors Win!š thanks for covering GS game!!
Put a fork in the Lakers
great coverage
Since I found Jason I donāt think Iāve listened to espn or undisputed when it comes to ball – no takes no click bait views just pure ball analysis
You argue it's the Heat's lack of size and athleticism that stops them from defending Jokic in the paint and that they need to blitz and double Jokic. But that rarely if ever works against Joker. Last year he destroyed the lengthy Bucks who tried exactly what you suggested. They often used Giannis to blitz and double Jokic but also brought that kind of pressure from all over the floor. Jokic picked them apart with 16 or 17 assists and Nugs won by 30 on the road. Bucks players went public after the game with their frustration with Bud for trying that hopeless tactic. It's pick your poison. Philly pulled a second half stunt D which Jokic will destroy if he sees it again. He analyzes and adapts and then executes better than anybody in the league.
Lakers will not win another title so long as A. DAVIS is there.
82 game season has to go. no Tatum on thursday? Don't forget Jokic sat out against Bucks too. What's the point of playing these extra games if the stars won't play? Who watches this stuff? I don't.
We don't care about Lakers! You said if they weren't relevant in the standings this season you would not focus on them so much….
I just don't trust Darwin Ham.
Can't trust AD! He isn't reliable
Do not shorten the season. Worst take on this channel I've ever heard. It just makes the game much softer. I hope this collective bargaining time frame makes it a point to eliminate or severely reduce rest games. Literally zero reason to shorten the season and it's a spit in the face to all of the teams that came before them.
Andrew Wiggins can be a midrange assassin if he wants to he's turnaround midrange shot is like Kobe or KD
On the heat game it was no herro and no victor also bro but u still right bad loss regardless
This game brought back my confidence in Nuggets. I like your video – you know bb.
Thing is – Jokic has many options available individually, and then – when others in the team are in sync – he has tons more options.
Now, why I'm optimistic again is that AG would've made this game a blowout (perfect sync with Jokic) and if Murray was there – this would've been over before the half time.
I love MIA exactly for same reasons you do – I think that's how everyone will try to play soon enough – BUT – it's simply not enough of a roster to make it work against the best.
Only thing I disagree with is that this was a bad loss for MIA. Nuggets are just a level above depth wise, and they have the Hulk.
MIA put forward a good game, but this was as close as they could possibly get (given the circumstances).
Bryant is a good addition, great one I believe. And with Reggie (if all goes nuggets way) – Nuggets 2nd unit will be formidable (keeping it even with the best 2nd units) – plus – Nuggets won't have to stagger almost at all (read murray/MPJ and brown/kcp will be much fresher and more focused).
Nuggets might go to POs with a strongest 10-long lineup in decades.
Great video. Thanks.
Homie really just spent half this video breaking down a game between two teams (LAL and POR) that aren't even going to make the play-in… š
AD needs to LeBron to get to his ceiling. LeBron needs a break really and to play less minutes generally
AD didnt get surgery which clearly he needs pretending that injury would just be fine with rest was a joke
For what itās worth, I come here for warriors/lakers
Really glad to hear some dame respect. He's been having an incredible season! Especially coming off a serious injury
Anthony Davis is the new LeBron scapegoat
You can run some drop coverage. But you canāt base not running drop against dame and curry thatās not a good measuring stick .
You canāt run any coverage all gameā¦ you have to be able to be versatile ā¦ teams be switching everything and getting smoked
Ad shouldāve been traded last year
Jordan and Bron won there first ring in Year 7 jokic is in year 7 and yall expect him to have 2 rings with an unhealthy roster… Bunch of clowns trying to talk basketball.
Whinging about coverage of the most popular teams š¤£š¤£ you can skip it lol
What a great video š!
