i want to apologize to jru holliday for saying he will never be a top 5 pg before this season started
Holy SH1T! The Lakers arent being mentioned as the #1 contender for the title ! Thank you Jason this is a MUCH better video because you didnt let your "Lebron" show sir!
I’m so tired of the talk. We get it, nobody thinks the nuggets will win anything.
Ok..let’s go.
You JUST SAID THEY PUNTED. So analysis on that period of time is USELESS.
Jason does a way better job than most ESPN "analysts".
I wouldn't count on Khris Middleton at all. Dude is averaging 15 points. 15 points. There's been only 1 game that Khris Middleton has played great this whole season. I believe the Celtics will run through the Bucks with ease . The Bucks are in major trouble..
Bucks in six!
kings in 5 eeasily
Best basketball show in all of media .
I hate that this guy talks like it's a matter of fact. Bro it the playoffs, and for you to say that both #1 seeds have to treat it like a practice or a scrimmage is extremely disrespectful. ALOT of you guys don't understand that the media may have bad takes but they're not disrespectful towards the players, and this guy is.
No way the Lakers beat the Grizzlies first round. What are people watching this year??? There is NO evidence whatsoever the Lakers are a quality team!
Would love to hear Jason and JJ Reddick talk hoops together
He's the best basketball analyst!
Every former high level college player I know listens to Jason bc he actually understands basketball. Him and JJ are by far the two best analysts out there.
Wolves way more dangerous than thunder
Suns sweeping the Clippers ??????
Nuggets fan and I think that's a fair assessment of the Nuggets D. I'd put it another way. The Nuggets score easy, meaning they can wreck teams without having to put out max effort on the offensive end. They don't defend easy. Meaning if they don't put out serious effort on the defensive end they can struggle. They started the season as one of the worst defenses in the league while trying to integrate Murray and MPJ, then turned it up and became a top 5 defense for 3 months, then slept walked through the final 18 games after clinching the west. So they can play strong defense. The question is, will they? We'll see.
Noticed a lot of people saying Timpf is one of the best hoops analysts out there. I agree. Bill Simmons started the slide of sports media by making being an obvious homer respectable even though Simmons also does a great job with facts. A bunch of others (hello Stephen A) then mainlined contrarian sports 'talk' where aggressively 'taking sides' is a requirement even if the 'argument' makes no sense. Then simply saying outrageous and even obviously false things (Perkins the most recent clown offender) for clicks was added to the mix. Most current sports media is nearly intolerable. Timpf is a sorta homer, but avoids the worst of the rest of it. Hope he mines this refreshing niche.
fresh cut man
Clippers vs Bucks Finals.
Is there anyone outside of DEN fans think they can win the whole thing after being the 1st seed and maybe a 3x peat MVP in Joker? Personally i don't. They are good regular season because of the altitude there as well when players acclimated with that its over. They can proved the doubters wrong though.
