Doc Rivers and Bill Simmons having a normal polite conversation will never not be hilarious to me.
Doc is such a great guest
Even if they aren’t for real, Houston’s started better than some would have expected.
just me or did they barely talk about the rockets
How TF you get him back twice?!
Tate and Sengun are real, idk about the rest of em
Did Doc put lotion on his vocal cords or is it the audio?
I understand the stigma with Doc as a coach, but the way he can paint a picture to make a convoluted idea simple is admirable 👏
What if Van Vleet fixes his efficiency issues somewhat and acheives at least league average efficiency? That coupled with the rest of his contributions might earn him an all-star appearance. A Freddie masterclass can push Houston further up in the standings.
It's amazing how incompetent the american system is. No clue how to teach people a TEAM sport.
Only Dummies were saying FVv and Brooks didn't make sense.. it rounded out the starting 5 and gave them defense and toughness… I really wish the kings would've gotten Brooks
Doc: “ Sengun is a Competitive, Foreign Player “.
Heisenberg: “ Sengun has been on That “ No Defense-Playing “ Rockets Team, for a Few Years. “.
this is funny because if they history
Jabari and Jalen are still suspect. But Ime is smart enough to know when to bench them when needed.
I'd REALLY like to see Houston trade Amen Thompson to Detroit and see what they can get back for him. They're clearly not going to play the young man for the next 3 years when they have Van Vleet + Jalen + Brooks taking minutes. If they can secure a future 1st and maybe get a back up big/flyer on someone young, that seems like a great move for them.
Video should be called "We mention the rockets"
Of course not! Season still early, most is making playoff. We seen many teams like this for decades, they definitely improved and playoff is their max.
I don't understand, they're more talented but they don't know how to play
If guys in the past knew how to play, isn't that a talent?
I still don't think they should lower the season length from 82 games. Just reduce back to backs and space them out more. Broadcast national games every night. There's enough teams to make sure there's a set of games every night even if you space things out more. Get rid of the Preseason and give guys more rest and/or practice in early October.
can we get Doc a better mic setup
can we get Doc a better mic setup
The 76ers finally have a real coach, and are balling out. The difference is immense.
Bout as real as the Utah Jazz last year 🙃
Ten games into the season and everyone thinks they know who the good teams are. It's not football.
