Stop saying Austin reeves is the only player on the lakers prime Colin u sound like u don’t watch basketball only the last series
Colin you are correct about Boston for the most part. I will say not everyone stays here. Many move to Fla , California and everywhere else. Bostonians are literally everywhere so they clearly didn’t all stay
When Draymond acts a fool Steph looks at his team like, "Hes a clown but hes our clown. We gotta go off!"
When Grant got chippy he got abandoned, Smart rolled his eyes, Tatum got in his own head and Jaylen said "Grant who? Next question."
I heard they had a team meeting after game 3 and I gotta think they said "Not like this! We dont have to like each other but its ride or die time."
Jaylen and Smart said "Dont let us get one" and I tend to believe them.
Everyone said Celtics were gonna sweep them so why can't they win 4 in a row?
I LOVE Himmy MFIN Buckets but I love great basketball more and I cant imagine a more legendary moment than an 0-3 comeback.
Just give me great basketball and I'm happy baby. LETS GOOOOO!
Boston has 1 title in the past 20 years u Colin acts like it’s been winning championships lately
Jimmy was gassed in the 3rd
Colin's explanation about Boston media is perfect and I think why the cities fan's are labeled as "racists". I am not going to deny the history buy in the modern day I think many people confuse Boston's passion and loyalty to the Boston teams as "racism" towards the other teams. They just love their team so much that the hate they direct towards opposing teams/players gets mistaken.
One of your security cameras is broken
Bro we got all offseason to talk about the LeLakers, can you "Sports Journalists" spend some time talking about the teams still playing instead of the speculative Lakers BS?
I swear if I hear one more "lakers trade scenario" before I hear about the FREAKING FINALS AND CONFERENCE FINALS BREAKDOWN I might swear off "Sports analysts" forever.
All I know for sure is, if Lebron retires its because he looked at the West and the Nuggets in particular and said, "Nope, no way. Not wasting my time." And went home.
Lebron said straight up, "This is the toughest team we have ever faced in four years."
Yet NOBODY is able to tell me WHY they are so tough except "tHeY MaKE sHoTs N 2x MvP! OnE sEeD hurrrrrdurrrrrrr!"
DO YOUR JOB
There wasn't sports talk radio in the Pacific Northwest. Just "seriel killer" talk radio.
I agree with all of your opinions
Bro was just on the show today talking about how watching the down fall of Boston sports is fun and entertaining because of their attitude and culture. Then spends a 7 minute opening monologue praising bostons atmosphere and culture
Boston will come back from 0-3 down and go on to beat Denver.. callin it now!
If Boston wins at home the pressure on Miamii to close out Game 6 and not go to a Game 7 is immense. If any team can be down 0-3 and comeback it's this Cs squad. They are easily ten times more talented than the Heat.
Just think how good the Heat would be if their management would stop being cheap and put a real team around Jimmy and their coach
Hey collin I thought u say celtics gone lose tonight
Back in the day in the 1980s I lived in Philadelphia. All of the football games were blocked off by the mummers parade.. on New Year’s Day 🥴🥴talk about provincial I hated it😂😂😂😂
Magic has an infectious smile and personality. His playing style was also magic to watch, no pun intended. Also he and Kobe are Lakers lifers while the King has bounced around. Kareem deserves to be beloved but it is what it is. I think the King can still hang on at a high level.
It's tough to win 4 games in a row lol Miami will be fine
Great show
Love you both but why am I not getting Jason Timpf postgame anymore ?
It’s a fact. Real lakers fans don’t like Lebron. They say it all the time.
Great segment Colin.
Colin man I like You and all You get on my nerves by far the least out of all these media talking heads, but You are one million percent a prisoner of the moment and came down WAY WAY to hard on Bostons Coach. You BIGTIME kicked A Man while He was down. Basically making A mockery of him and the entire organization.
It'd A make or miss league. It's really not THAT complicated. Coaching doesn't matter THAT much.
Tatum and Brown were shooting 19 percent from 3. I don't care if red aurrbach was coaching, your not going to win games when your missing wide open shots.
You gave the defense WAY too much credit but so does the damn media.
When a team misses wide open shots everyone talks about how good the defense was, when they make those said open shots, the defense was terrible.
It's a miss or make league. It's a players league.
Spoelatra is a good coach but you were giving him way way too much credit.
It's a players league. You BIGTIME kicked Bostons coach while He was down
If he were so terrible celtics wouldn't have made eastern conference finals and win by 30 game 7 against Philly.
I pray to God Boston comes back and win this. Media talking heads never learn their lessons and are bigtime prisoners of the moment
Hope Celtics make this a 6/7 game series so Denver can have a good rest. 😂
Having so many deep playoff runs at such a young age has distorted the view of the celtics. When you say they've been together 6 years its making it seem like these guys have been their current selves for the whole time . Jayson tatum just turned 25 this year. If they won the title last year jayson tatum would have been a FRESH 24 year old. Year before that he wouldve been a fresh 23 year old. The expectations just gets more and more ridiculous as you go further. If they won the title last year that would put tatum in the 1% of the 1% along with his other co star. Just think about the company he would join as a 24 year old #1 option to win a title.
Celtics in 7
Colin, I'd have to disagree with you about LeBron wanting a "retirement tour". I see his ego as being such that he'd feel entitled to the adulation that would accompany the attendant ceremonies & gifts. Michael Jordan got one, and, again, ego, I feel like LeBron would want "even bigger, even better". LeBron seems to be one who never tires of hearing his own accolades, so, having them repeated, ad nauseum, in city after city, by NBA crowd after NBA crowd, appears to be right down his alley.
Miami just gave up the 3rd quarter. And Boston played with more disciplin tonight .
