Good morning JJ
Let’s goooo
I was immersed up to my ears!😚
The pistons might contend for play in this year. We got a bright future with came and duran
Feel like these need to be labeled dunkers spot
I sincerely don’t know how I can be a fan of the nba when all these player do are sit out… butler sitting out on non back to back games.. wth, you make wayyy to much money especially at the beginning of the season to be taking days off.
Nuggets have an advatage. They don't need to figure out how to play with each other. Chemistry is there. The bench though, might have some growing to do.
This gotta be the most boring nba podcast ever
Love the pels strategy of more off-ball Zion until they need 10 points in 2 minutes. Not many teams have that kind of luxury its fun to watch
Hardens in la now 😮
"we just lost the lead, we lost whatever momentum we had… My chest hurts"
