Bro, stop focusing on the Lakers! No matter where they have been in the standings you give them over half of the time. So many other teams to cover.
Why would the Lakers rest their guys when they're fighting to get out the play in?
Let's go t wolves and lake show 🥶🥶🥶
The Suns don't have to guard Vando
Jokic mvp
I think you’re a Laker fan 😊
But lakers are not resting. They could fall into the play in. The problem is the lakers play the clippers. Check the remaining schedule
If you’re a Warriors fan best case scenario is Lakers or Clippers vault into 5 and that takes care of one or possibly 2 of KD, Lebron, Kawhi. Worst case scenario is ending up at 5 or 7. Play in is dangerous and the Suns are probably the next best team in the West.
Do people really think the Lakers can bet the sun
Another great content Jason. I'm just wondering why would Warriors hope Lakers would rest main guys against Clippers? If Lakers win, Warriors would still be at 6th seed.
You forgot to include "it's like how many times Ben Simmons is incredible and amazing".
Poole is so bad at perimeter defense opponents just drive by him with no resistance. Having Klay and Wiggins out exasperates the problem and teams punish Poole and Curry relentlessly. Having Wiggins back will help significantly. Looking forward to Sac game
Jason only thing I’ll say is in regular time Lebron got fouled on that last shot blatant push in the back by tht so I wouldn’t say smoke
It took OT for Lakers to win against Jazz without its star players🤭
Love how you really break the games down, Jason!
Keep up the good work! 👍🏽
Steve Kerr finally figured out, putting the best on ball defender on the other team’s best scorer my help some. Kudos 👏👏👏
This dude believes in karma and basketball godz plural ain't got no love for the real God.. probably why you have a death star picture from star wars grow up
Imagine standing before the Creator God of the universe and having to explain to him why you believe in karma and basketball gods
Man ain’t nobody scared of the Suns. You think Steph is losing any sleep over them? Hell naw! I don’t understand all this supposed fear of them. KD’s Nets were much better
Lebron and AD aren't playing against the Clippers. You can book it
Why do warriors get away with using thier arms n body to impede progress.. why does looney n lamb get to push people in thier backs … I’m so confused watching AD get called for everything n then turn the goldenstate game on and they get away with so much … only at home
20:06 warriors do control own destiny. Interesting scenario is that GSW, LAL, and LAC are in the funny scenario where EACH of the 3 teams control it’s own destiny, to make the playoffs. Any of the 3 that wins out, makes the playoffs.
GSW loses both tie breakers, but because LAL and LAC play each other tonight, only one of the LA teams can win out.
So Warriors must beat Kings and Portland on the road. Just 2 games. To avoid a play-in.
7:57 agreed. However I can see SUNS (and maybe KINGS) manipulating who makes the 5 & 6 slot.
Suns play LAL and LAC and could just roll over and hurt the team they want to. Kings play Warriors and could rest their stars also.
guarantee LAL, LAC, and GSW are not gonna “jockey” for position at this time. You can’t aim down for 6 without risking getting stuck at 7. All 3 are desperately trying to win out.
I think for Wiggs, it comes down to he’s mental state. If he can put whatever was going on with his family behind and just focus on the game, he’ll do just fine.
Jazz got dept
A couple videos you said it’s time to panic and now this happens to the warriors. C’mon you know that old take wasn’t gonna age well😂😂😂😂
Imagine we get Nuggets first round😂 BBQ CHICKEN ALERT ⚠️ 📢
Honestly playing if ya gotta play the suns best to play them earlier than later in my opinion. Don’t give them more reps to go deeper into the offs and play them closer to their peak. Given the lakers make it that far ofc
