Ric Bucher joins Colin Cowherd to talk about the latest news in the NBA Playoffs. Jayson Tatum went off in Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers, but Bucher tells Colin why he’s not sold on the Boston Celtics’ star just yet. Plus, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up to face the Denver Nuggets for the Western Conference Finals, and Ric details what Anthony Davis will need to bring if he’s going to stack up against Nikola Jokić for the entirety of the series. They also touch on Ja Morant’s suspension, and Bucher weighs some trade options for the Golden State Warriors after their disappointing exit in the playoffs.

Excluding the 21’ season when Jaylen got hurt Tatum has been one of the top 5 most valuable players in the league over the last 4 years. He has done all that and is still only 25 lol. His prime is starting right now and the media doesn’t believe in him because he struggled against the Warriors in his first finals as a 24 year old.
Poole is more mature than Morant. Poole press conferences are great.
Ric really amazes me. He continues to be a hater no matter how much he’s proved wrong.
Ric doesn't realize that Austin Reaves is good ONLY because he's playing with a legend in Lebron James and a super star in Anthony Davis. He forgets that Lebron makes his team mates better and that Austin was probably trained behind the scenes by Lebron. Austin Reaves will continue to play well, but had he not played with Lebron or the Lakers he be in the shadows and would not be as a good player like he is now. Ric make strike out again if the Lakers beat the Nuggets in 5
Oh Ric…did you feel the play by being in the game? Slanderous take
At some point when will they get experts that actually analyze the game instead of just saying hot take BS. I guess being wrong sales.
Ric Bucher is sick a hater of Lebron and the lakers lmao
Why is Ric's opinion even valued?? WTF does he know about basketball? This clown picked the Clippers in 2020, and picked against the LAKERS in the first two rounds already. This guy has ZERO credibility. I noticed all these so-called analysts are confused by LAKERS' success in playoffs thus far. They are too dumb to realize that this current team is NOT the same team as the Westbrick team from earlier in the season. SMH
By the way, Ric played soccer in college…not basketball. @Ric – you know nothing about hoops. You should cover MLS…not NBA.
Ric just a hater at this point 🤡🤣🤣
Ric has spoken down about the Lakers for months. He is never gonna give them their praise. They have proven themselves so far. Ric is probably one of the dumbest analysts.
They will win a championship this year 🎉
Why does this clown get so much air time talking about basketball? There's gotta be better "analysts" who will get ratings.
When lakers advance to finals, both these guys will pick heat or Celtics to win it all. At this point, they’re just mad that the lakers embarrassed them with their previous picks to win.
It’s really becoming apparent at how severely biased ric Bucher is and how poor his analysis is. He has his preferred outcomes and then makes info up to fit that. Truly a waste of time to listen to him
Poor Ric doesn’t know anything about basketball 🤦🏻♀️👎
Ric Bucer with more hall of fame player hating 😂
The reason these experts just can’t believe in the lakers is because what the lakers are doing (basically starting as a new team after the all star break and dominating) has NEVER been done. It’s only possible because lebron James is best floor general in nba history.
Last week media were praising Warriors, pedigree championship team , they lost to Lakers and now “ they weren’t championship team” they all are 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡……
Ric the flip flopper lakers lebron hater Bucher
Once again Ric Bucher demonstrated why he has no credibility to talk about the NBA.
Never EVER mention Tatum's name in the same sentence with Giannis. There are holes in Giannis game, but his mentality is always there. Tatum is not. Giannis is also a freak of nature. Tatum is not. Not a knock on Tatum, but there are levels
Rick your not sold Tatum doesn't care yesterday he was awesome period
Curry, Wiggins, klay, draymond & Looney ,GP2 stay …….EVERYBODY ELSE CAN BE MOVED!!!
Ja is the most responsible here, then his family and friends but right behind them is the commissioner. the way he handled Ja's suspension was a joke. Silver is tearing down the league Stern spent decades building up and this is just another example of his poor leadership
The Celtics hit the skids cause of the tragedy of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis again Rick do your homework clown
Can’t wait to hear what these warriors apologist have to say today
….aaaand a little tacit approval of Draymond Green punching Poole in the face towards the end of the second.
Oh goalpost, oh goalpost.. how further must you move for these clowns to fit their narratives.
That Jokic dude is a baaaaad man. Likely the best big man offensive player ever.
I don’t care if there are 3rd or 4th star on the roster. If you can score and defend in a playoff game you are a star. This argument is so stupid. Pistons won a championship with no super stars.
Ric is he ever said anything good about any team Lebron has been on
These Clowns are doing it Again!! 😂😂 Haters Gonna Hate.. LAL will prove you again wrong 😊
Gordon can guard LB because he guarded KD!!! I want to see LB put his shoulder down and drive to the basket and see what Gordon cand do!! Realistically you have to wait until they play a couple of games to see where the series is going, before that it´s a guessing game
nah u didnt pick against the lakers the first two rounds you picked against them the entire year buddy
These 2 guys are an echo chamber of bad warriors takes lol
Cancel Ric PUKER.
Ppl constantly mention Orlando when they wanna dump their scrubb players smh. WE AINT GOING FOR IT
Rick B committed to being wrong to the end.
How does JT get criticised the entire playoffs for not having killer instinct then turn around drop 51 in a game 7 and everyone says nah doesnt matter actually lets hate on him some more (Skip, Ric, Colin especially)
Also how does Ric sit around with any authority as though hes not been wrong the entire playoffs? I hate to say it but the Lakers defensively have been unbelievable in the playoffs and AD has controlled the paint in the first two rounds the idea that Ayton is a similar . I was confident they'd beat Memphis I thought Golden State would beat them but now im expecting they beat Denver and we get a dreaded LA vs Boston final. Idk how anyone picks against Lebron with any confidence unless he's playing a juiced Golden State team.
Ric's such a hater lmao, right when Collin praises LeBron for his play, he changes the subject to how Reeves gets superstar calls…he's been beating a dead horse with his Laker hate and has been wrong the whole postseason
Not a peep of the heat. Disrespectful. Who cares about the warriors
Hey Ric KD is not LeBron and there they go again, still freaking doubting the Lakers. These freaking people don't know what the f*ck they're talking about, because all their reasoning for why the Lakers can't win is b/s. They said the Nuggets is not the same team… well fool this Lakers team is better offensively and defensively.
Nuggets are not a better defense team then Memphis or golden state both these dudes don’t know what they are talking about!
Classic clown 🤡 ric
