Jason’s ability to be the the sorta sympathetic counter to Colin’s takesman is remarkable. I appreciate the soft landing he provides even when the ultimate answer he agrees with is “this guy ain’t it” haha-it’s a very refreshing thing in this space of outrage and yelling; he’s almost reluctant to really go in on anyone and I like that a lot. Compassion wow! Not everything needs to be nick and stephen a and max and everyone else just shouting. Reminds me of lowe but more from a guy who hoops. Good stuff
Where’s Steph’s credit here Kevin durant this and that bus rider, swept by Celtics….but yeah Colin durant did well with Brooklyn BS
Watch durant get beat by GSW
Durant is not invisible watch him never win another championships – such a bus rider
That was a great 40 minutes right there! Colin always makes the shows great 💯
So… Phoenix is unbeatable with Durant. Milwaukee is equally superior with the mighty Greek Freak. So when the golden state warriors win the championship once again… will this mean the warriors will finally get the respect they deserve? Smh….
This man said Durant brings shot blocking 🤦🏾
Memphis will run those old Dinosaurs 🦕 out the gym Grizz in 5
They are full of shit
I would not be surprised if the warriors lose to Kings in the first round. All dynasties comes to an end. They can't do this forever I got a feeling the kings are just to fast and young and ready. They aren't the 6th seed their the 3rd seed for a reason.
Give max contract to Kyrie ad trade for PG. It can work for both teams. Kawhi is too much in his way to be upset with Kyrie and Clippers need more playmaking and rim pressure. PG is laid back personality and doesn't matter if he is the number two. Doesn't like the pressure but can create shots for him self and others.
Much better hoop talk than Stephen A or Skip and Bayless 😂
Good stuff
Last year the refs and the league were TOTALLY against the Warriors especially in the playoffs and finals – to the tune of an average 10+ points a game. Stef gets less calls than any superstar EVER. They overcame an incredible amount of horrible calls / no calls last year. If the games are called fairly, they will be fine – again.
I like Colin, but he clearly does not watch much basketball. He comes across like he’s trying to remember notes his staff gave him. I would much rather just listen to Jason break down teams for an hour.
The Lakers aren’t beating Memphis……. They are better than the Lakers..
Wow this ppl are bias when it comes to lebrom 😅😅😂
Lakers are not more talented than the Grizzlies
Rumor mill has Milwaukee trying to make a play for Dame this offseason. I’d love if they could swap out Middleton for Dame just in terms of offense
The absolute GIDDINESS at the Minnesota drama feels like 2 excited kids talking at recess about their teacher's low cut blouse
Man stop lebron went there cause they had the cap for him Wade n bosh and they were good players. He wasn't thinking about who city it was 🤦🏾
If a team needs a break to get into the playoffs, they shouldn't be there. Let's go Denver Nuggets.
If the Kings beat the Warriors in 6, Kings will still get disrespected by these band wagon clown hating medias and clueless fans. The Kings must continue to beat these overrated teams in order to gain respect and it's sad.
I love it when you 2 talk with each other
Luka always whining and as soft as jellyfish. His defence full of holes like Swiss cheese.
Got memphis fucked up
Jheez Louise did Carmelo have a relationship with Colin’s wife or something?
“I don’t think the league is rigged” 😊 LMAO
King of Basketball 🏀 Player Super 😀 Star ⭐️ King KD win 🥇 This championship
@34:40 "It just didn't result in a championship" Hate to tell you this Colin but Dirk absolutely won a championship 😂 It's crazy how these talking heads get paid ridiculous amounts of money to literally talk about sports and don't know shit..
Suns are vastly superior in the clutch and the Clippers are one of the worst executing team in the clutch….I think this will be the difference…there'll be the one great Kawhi game and one crazy shooting game by the Clippers and that's all she wrote!…
There's history between Durant's OKC and Kawhi's Spurs from a decade go….to go back to some perspective on this matchup…older players now and Kawhi is nowhere near what he was defensively.
So…..Suns in 6!
Colin is doing is best to convince ppl Jordan was an above average player with GREAT teammates lol
MEmphis two big men are out for the rest of the season. How would they have beat the warriors? MEmphis playing with a g leaguer who hasn’t seen but 5 mins on a real nba court?!?!?
I'll bet on the Clippers. many say they can't win against the Phoenix Suns. we don't know. It's hard to say, first. If it's just the talent of the players or bench players, you can count on the Clippers. as long as Kawhi doesn't get injured, I'm sure Kawhi has a fight even without PG.
Keep sleeping on the Kings I love it.
Lakers have drawn a tough but manageable matchup in Wolves and Grizz …2 young teams that cud get beat on basketball IQ….
Imagine Carmelo Anthony just sitting at home when he happens to watch this. He's probably thinking, 'What the heck did I do?? Thanks for making me the comp of everything that's wrong with Luka.' Lol
Who is this white guy talking basketball like he’s good. Lol
Two more idiots who are pushing a narrative that Ja Morant has never played in a playoff game before. He's actually played in 14 playoff games and has averaged 28 and 9 while shooting 46% from the field. Also they pretend like they are so concerned about Steven Adams being out but I guarantee you if Adams was starting they'd be saying how AD will play him out of this series just like KAT did in the first round of last year's playoffs.
Jason you are going to regret this ignorance of a disaster take when we beat the Sun's.. You constantly downplay the Clippers which is fine but you will learn who Kawhi Leonard is.. This is really a bad take but it's okay I expect nothing from a Laker fan
Warriors will repeat! Mark my words!
Wow, another Lakers-GS slurpfest. Who could have predicted that
Luka feels more like James Harden with more size and if he doesn't adapt his game and work on his fitness, his career will be short lived. He is so young and yet feels relatively unfit and won't last more than 5 yrs with this fitness level.
"The lakers are 18-8 since the all star break". Out of all those games they only played 8 good teams. They beat GS twice both in LA we know the Warriors were a bad road team all year and in one of those games Steph didn’t play. They lost to the Clips with no PG. They split with Memphis 1-1 but the game they won was without Ja and the game they lost Ja played. They lost to the Knicks with no Brunson. They beat PHX twice but KD didn't play in either game and all the starters basically rested the second game. My point being that that record was because their schedule was incredibly weak to end the season not because they're a great team.
Shit, dis i miss the laker/wolves game? Seems like the lakers are already playing Memphis
Grizz in 5
We know that's you on the phone, Carson
I really like the interplay between these two. Colin brings a higher level, talk show talking points and Jason brings the deeper basketball understanding. Jason comes just short of saying "Colin, you don't really know what you're talking about let me clarify that for you" 😂
