Great analysis
Big takeaways
Clips getting crushed on the defensive rebounds
Pg getting smoked on defense
Pg over helping on defense
🧐
JJ KINDA CUTE
The Clippers will never be fully healthy! That's a NEVER like that Lavar Ball parody that Keegan does
Not surprising the clippers have two of the greatest overrated cancers professional, quitter Harden, and I’ll always be the greatest player who ever lived Westbrook
If Jalen Green can shoot more consistent and average like 26ppg on decent effeciency, the Rockets will really be dangerous. His hustle and effort is up with the winning going on and with Ime maybe he develops into a more complete player. Sengun playing great, been so impactful.
Clippers are a playoff team rockets are more of a regular season team. And the playoffs you can attack matchups and having four players that create different matchups it’s gonna be something That takes you further in the playoffs
Super happy for a show like this to recognize Luka's defense this season. This as everyone knows has always been brought up, rightly so, as a flaw of his but his added effort truly makes him even scarier and not a liability on that end of the floor.
Please talk about how amazing RJ has been🙏🏽
Love the Heat Love
its been so long since ive heard anyone say anything good about my rockets lol
Bam is 6th in DPOY rankings right now. People flat out don’t know how good he is. All they care about is blocks, just how the 6th man of the year award is scoring award, DPOY is a block award
6ers Fleeced the Clippers lol hahahahahahahah
More Bam content please!
🧐
thank u nekias for shouting out skylar mays! He’s been good this year, doesn’t makes mistakes and goes at his own pace
Thank you guys for another episode of the podcast, I love it. Also, Steve has an extremely cool head
The Sixers could have released Harden, and still won out.
Harden is the most overrated bball player in the history
Yooo where’s JJ? Lol
Yall acting like the Rockets home court is this sacred ground. Them dudes were losing for 3 years straight everywhere. They should be 8-1 if it wasn’t for Jabari missing free throws against the spurs or Steph hitting 4 threes in a row in the 4th. But yeah. It’ll all fall apart on the road.
no offense but get these guys on another channel , I clicked on this to hear JJ reddicks opinion … its the JJ reddick channel
Finally some good harden and clippers conversation that’s actually fair
All three of Hardens former teams are doing better than the Clippers right now.
Harden trade just exposed issues the Clippers already had. High TOs, Zu being washed, Russ not being a floor spacer, PG going passive, none of which are Hardens fault. The teams they beat before the trade were rebuilding teams
When will the media address the Bucks being worse since they got Dame? They hyped up the duo as the next Shaq and Kobe that would dominate the league
