I like watching JJ become an entertainer. He's already got the analysis and art of the hot take down.
Jalen Rose looks like a cartoon character.
JJ is now the new Stephen A
Suns coach overrated !!! Sixers Coach is overated 3-1 chocker …
Jalen rose look like a black marker with the eraser tip
The west ain't wide open,…what Gorge Jefferson talking bout?
Philly….they went through the Process.
That road that they went without a Championship is a failure for the franchise.
Clippers too….they got Kawhi and PG and it is a championship or bust if they don't win it too.
It is all or nothing for these 2 teams
Memphis is fools gold and all these kids will disagree but it is what it is. Can't win a chip with a player like morant. He's like Harden. Just unwinnable players. I hope he proves me wrong but I haven't been wrong about Harden yet
Number 1. j.j Reddick is a cancer.snobby type of dude just makes just turn the channel. every time he's on.sit him down somewhere.
Steven A hating on Denver, they have at least two years bare minimum to contend, their core is still young.
Arguing with JJ Redick is like arguing with a retard you’re not gonna get anywhere.
76ers will never win with doc rivers … fire him now
How is Jokic still in talks for winning mvp when they stop voting for Westbrook and James Harden for the same reason….Good Stats but no chance to win in the playoffs
What’s funny is these guys are saying if the Sixers don’t win the east there’ll be changes like the coach. Most Sixers fans have wanted a new coach for the last two years.
Honestly, Doc Rivers is the main reason I don't expect them to win. They might have a chance with a coach who doesn't blow a 20+ point lead at least once a week.
The process never finished processing 🤣🤣
This is how sports show should be.
Not a soul in the world thinks that Philly getting out the second rd
Both are right tho. The Sixers will make changes if they don’t win, Harden might leave too and no one expected Philly to win
It's the clippers
Philly
lost the MLS cup
Lost the World Series
Lost the SuperBowl
😂
Since I can't be a guest on these shows I'll pose it here: If you were to delete the top two players on every team in the NBA (i.e. Giannis and Jrue, Jokic and Murray, Ja and Bane, etc), who would remain the best team? Would love to read some good takes!
How is denver on the hot seat? Their core is young. What is he talking about
yernamean
😂😂😂 why JJ saying the 76ers are in dire need of a championship but his favorite player to watch is Jokic. So you don’t think Jokic need a chip 😂😂
James Harden now is not the same Harden in Houston that was scoring 40 points a game.
Seriously? If Doc and Harden go, they are still a 2nd round elimination team….what is dire? Do they know what dire means?
I'm in Philly and I expect the Sixers to compete for a championship. SAS used to write here but has lost touch with the city.
'trust the process' started 10 years ago… that process has been over lol
The 76ers Franchise has been hampered by inept management and the stupidity of Colangelo, Brett Brown and Elton Brand. Signing Al Horford, signing Tobias for $189M, not offering Jimmy Butler a max contract. TRADING UP to get Markelle Fultz and not drafting Jayson Tatum when they already had a point guard in Simmons. Drafting and trading Mikal Bridges for a bag of potato chips. There’s a reason they brought in Morey. After all those mistakes and people still expect a championship ?
Jokic is a 2x mvp probably gonna be 3. Everybody say he better than embid & Denver leading the west. Chips or MVP I don’t wanna hear the excuses when the playoffs start & they get swept the 2nd rd.
Stephen A Smith has been calling players "mercurial" a lot lately.
I agree with Jalen, Kyrie is my favourite player to watch, unstoppable!🔥
Jj does a excellent job sas is such a 🤡 he jut can’t help himself
Media Hates Giannis
I hate doubting my own team but after watching the cavs vs sixers last night and the 76ers being up 25+ to only win by single digits tells the story that they won’t be making it to the finals at least this season within the last week they have played at least 3 teams and were up 20+ to end up loosing. It doesn’t make any sense but that’s the truth Philly has to figure it out. Eagles, Phillies and there soccer team all made it to there respective championships though they lost at least they made it. Sixers gotta step it up.
Stephans As pistons comment shows how much of a casual he is that Detroit team has a good amount of talent
WWE has nothing on this theatrical production.
JJ Redick and SAS
Money for TV
I was a beat writer in Philly but ima hate on them 😂😂
People shouldve expected Denver to make the Finals since the start of the season
Speaking as a Sixers fan – those fellas aren't wrong.
I believe Celtics are in dire need to win a chip. Sixers are a great answer but its actually the celtics… They have been knocking on the door since a year or 2 before the bubble… They were at the brink last year and lost… Guy might be changing soon, coaching issues, all of this, horford reaching the end. They need a chip
Stephen A saying that because joker has two mvps and probably a third on his way
How come Jokic has NOOOOO pressure to win a championship?? Is he not back to back mvp?
Philly has the best record since December I dont know what Stephen a has against them
People really acting like they weren’t putting Sixers over the Celtics before the season started
