Doc has blown some leads. Let’s keep it real. He got one ring but that was mainly because of Garnet, Allen , and Pierce.
Someome get Perk some oxygen
How does espn justify having perkins mouth breathing self on tv? He makes horrible takes and is always heavy breathing into the mic like a fat kid thinking about cake
Joel Embiid didn’t show up. There’s no defense! Joel even mentioning his teammates having to improve at that podium post game was disgraceful. As the leader he should have owned his terrible performance.
James Harden… This is just what he does. I expect this from him in the playoffs. He looks like he doesn’t care. He played like he didn’t care.
We are talking about a dude that reserected his career, scored 40+ twice to carry his team, Harden is a Hero, even if he lost this one.
Molly looks plastic
Perk needs to get his deviated septum worked on lmao breathing like a vaccum
Embiid deserves more criticism
what is that breathing in the beginning
Embid playing on one leg tell the whole story smh.
Man Molly looks ridiculous with those collagen lip injections. Just like the women with a BBL, it looks terrible. Yes men like big lips and big butts, but don’t overdo it. There is such a thing as “too big”. Some of these chicks look like a wasp just stung their lips lol
Perks breathing is awful.
Harden actually showed up and won 2 games! Your pity fake MVP didn't do jack
Man When your past catch up with you 😂
Yo these guys are funny af😭💀👍🏻
Some of those Joel stats were staggering 😮, never been to conference finals!, 0-3 game 7!
Joel will never win another MVP after this meltdown man fumbling the rock like hot potato likewise Harden. They sure could use a defensive point guard 6'10" last night.
Kyree has been matched up with many all time greats and has been proven to be a cancer.
Perk’s opinion went from bad to worse.
All u hear is Kendrick breathing ain’t nobody trying hear that every video
I love having Perk on the show but you have to do something about his breathing audio 😂😂
Embiid shouldve never been MVP. It should’ve been Jokic but the media and NBA players don’t want to give a white guy from Serbia the MVP three straight years but he’s a better player than Embiid.
perk gotta apologize to jokic this is sad
I’m a huge 76ers fan and I’m not a ESPN bu this 19 minute clip is 100% accurate, this game was over in the 3rd quarter, this team QUIT! Flat out QUIT!!
Is this your MVP?
Let's get to it cause Celtics are a much deeper team, 76ers. And if Jason Tatum goes off like that you can not beat them.
Turn perks mic down
I know that everybody is saying they can't blame because he didn't play but who's fault it is to prepare the team to get ready to play and makes adjustments
As a houston rockets fan………this take on james harden is 🎯
Embiid was HORRIBLE Harden in game 7 was PATHETIC
Embiid should apologize to every one on that team except Hardin by what he said yesterday, especially Tucker, who had to huff and puff life back into big dude.
To me, Hardin has been exposed as a back room spoiler. He tries to dictate on every team who he can and cannot play with.
You go from Westbrook, KD to Chris Paul and Hardin, too KD, Kyrie and Hardin to Embiid and Hardin.. the common fcking factor seems to be Hardin. 😢😮😢
Why does everyone thing Mark Jackson is a good coach! If he was, he’d have a job by now.
A coach that adds no value to the team but has good connections with the media.
If Doc was white I bet both of these dudes would be singing a totally different tune
Media trying to cover up for Embiid. I need that same energy. Embiid ain't a top 5 player, his numbers fall in the playoffs, oh and he was a defensive liability
Yes yes I saw the body language!!!! Like they got paid off to play horrible!!!! That was sad to see how they played!!!! I turned it off I saw they wasn't gonna win!!! In the 1st qtr!!!!
Embiid was suppose to take over that game and he didn't!!!!!!!!! Smh T- MAX is my dude!!!
Not enough Embiid slander. James is a choker, we know this.. but he also did win them 2 games. Y’all pushed the Joel MVP agenda and now that he doesn’t show up y’all make Harden and Doc the scapegoat.
Perk…… You look like a sloth 😂😂
Are we going to talk about how Tobias have been flat out stealing money from the 76ers? Giving less than 10 pts for the amount of money he got paid, the fact they gave him hia money and they even moves Jimmy Buttler because of him and he does not provide more than 10 pts on a regular basis? Yeah I know he almost scored 20 yesterday but still
Hearing Kendrick breathing throughout the vid makes it seem like he’s right by you lol
how many of those doc river's game 7 losses were due to 3-1 collapses though?… Smh, he better activate his LinkedIn account
She looking fine
Jokic is overrated and he NOT winning the championship 🤷🏾♂️
