Why does everybody say "Without Curry" and forget about maybe the best 2 way player Wiggins.
As a Hawks fan…ughhhh. May as well trade Collins, Hunter, Clint, dare I say Trae? I’ve never seen a team with such poor team chemistry. During time outs nobody talks, they just sit there with blank looks on their face.
Is the increase in scoring because defense sucks in this era or because scorers are so much better than they used to be?
Offense and scoring is out of control this year across the board. What is going on?
AAHH😎…..!!, YEAH………!!, YO…………………..!!, ℹ️ THINK💭…….!!, THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS🏀 ARE PLAYING VERY G👀D BASKETBALL🏀 WITH SOME OF THEIR KEY 🔑PLAYERS ON THE BENCH ThERE PEOPLE😎🇺🇸 * ℹ️ CAN’T BELIEVE THEY T👀K ATLANTA HAWKS T👀 3 OVERTIMES FOR A WIN OVER THEM, ON MONDAY NIGHT JANUARY 02, 2023 THERE PEOPLE😎🇺🇸 * JASON TIMPT😎 YOU MY NBA🏀 DAWG FAM😎🇺🇸
Why is this comment section riddled by bandwagoners 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Mitchell had the performance of a lifetime and you guys are talking about “Klay is back” “yay warriors” 🤡
I'm smelling Warriors vs Cavs finals in the few years
Obama and Timpf both love Klay’s shooting form.
Klay’s shots makes everyone happy.
1. Giannis
2. Jokic
3. Luka
4. Steph
5. Tatum
6. Joel
7. KD
8. Ja
9. LeBron
10. Jimmy B
And Giannis just just put up a measly 55 tonight
Donovan Mitchell 71 points and 10 assists, he contributed to 91 plus points…that is unbelievable
Poole has that Middle school mentality….
Yes, he can juke out the first guy, but then, the defense collapses and he goes from "in charge" to desperate…he doesnt seem to understand that he's being lured into turnover possibilities, because he thinks he can out-juke he whole team…As a result, he's being played, and doesn't realize it…
Poole needs to dive ONLY as a part of a designed play…where his kick-out is already planned…
Bad habit of his, made possible because he was superior to middle school level players, etc…But middle schools didn't have film, to see him…
Dray needs to, or, SOMEBODY, needs to grab him by the shoulders and say, HEY! WAKE THE FCK UP!!!
THE OPPONENTS want you to dive, beat the first guy…BOOM! TURNOVER….
SUCKER PLAY
Lakers are geared to help Lebron stat pad for the record books. AD is out as well. So I’m not surprised.
Poole played like crap. It wasn't just shooting poorly on both the 2s and the 3s, it was so many times the ball movement died as he would drive into a pack of defenders and force up bad shots while teammates were open. Really incredibly bad judgement over and over again, much of it "it's all about me" selfishness. Klay called him out at one point and Steph and Kerr also pulled him aside a couple of times. I hate to say this, and I don't believe it's appropriate to punch anyone, but I understand why Draymond was so angry with Jordan. He DOES have a "me first" attitude problem and it really is hurting the team. He doesn't fit in with the Warriors team first culture and I'm beginning to wonder if he ever will. Seriously disappointed in his immaturity. Maybe it's just because he's young; hopefully he'll grow out of this.
The warriors are back to playyyyy
Hot take: Donovan Mitchell has become the Damian Lillard of the Eastern conference!!
True or false????
😮😮😮😮😮
Klay wanted to break Donovan's 71 point game immediately that's why he locked in
i LOVED Loons got the buzzabeater. But let's not forget Devencenzo gave the Warriors the CHANCE to win. Clutch.
Cant believe the dubs are doing this with such a depleted roster
All I have to say is If they ever let Klay shoot he’ll score 100pts.
Love this but could you add videos when you're breaking down plays?
Good to see KT go off but TBH…just get the team 18-22 ppg EVERY GAME Klay.
Those 8-13 pt efforts hurt the team.
Give us some consistency.
Nobody cares what Embiid does in the regular season dude is older then Giannis and hasn't been out the second round
Make sure you vote for Klay for NBA All-Star.🗳️
mate i love your analysis
They hogging the ball to get more points so that they get the starting positon in the AllStar Game.
The lack of defense being played recently in the NBA is eye opening. Not to mention the recent changes in rules over the past few years helping offensive players… me and my friend group saw a season like this coming.
All these other great players are balling out, and Lebron gets ALL the spotlight as usual.
Dropping 40 is becoming pedestrian for these monsters.
Please I need help, I lost tons of money on
live trade, I thought is the same as demo
trade because I was winning in my demo
account. This is really frustrating and
overwhelming. where do I start please?
Waiting for that Boston getting exposed by the thunder video
It looks like Klay is turning a corner. It's tough to recover from two career ending injuries as he did and not have residual thoughts that hold you back and adversely affect your game. To me Klay is more relaxed and trusting his therapy. Watching his game I was saying welcome back.
This may sound weird but trust me ik my shit… Lakers gotta trade Lebron. It’s just time… this roster just won’t be good enough or built correct enough. Where he should go? I HAVE NO CLUE, but we all know teams like Toronto, Houston, and Phoenix all could use upgrades
😂😂 I remember getting into arguments with “warriors” fans who were saying to trade klay😂😂 boy they gotta be feeling it
Dejounte Murray is a 6’5 defensive guard so I don’t rly think that pairing is the problem. I think it is the depth of the team and lack shooting and especially the vibes around the team. They just don’t seem to like each other in Atlanta
I love it that you broke down the value of Draymond. A lot of people just stop after commenting on his late 3 point shot. Watching Draymond at the 4th quarter and 2 OTs, Draymond just showed me that the Warriors have the horsepower to win this year's championship. Even if they don't win every regular season game at a high rate. Draymond was a WALL. Even some shots that the Hawks made over Dray out of sheer talent / luck… D Green defense was there. Dead Center.
Is klay a better shooter than Durant?
Bro the hawks have never been FULLY healthy more than 1 game this season always with players out and recently have been without one of their KEY pieces the past 2 weeks in Capella that's the true reason of their rough patch at this point nothing else..once they're complete they'll compete with anyone they're in no way giving the season away like you think y..there's facts you should acknowledge not just the surface
