37:11 Dude! Look at the Brooklyn Nets!
If we trade Cam Thomas, Royce O'Neale, and Dorian Finney-Smith, we still have Mikal Bridges to play 2-Guard next to Mitchell at the 1, Spencer Dinwiddie off the bench at PG, Cam Johnson at the 3, Claxton, Trendon Watford, AND… if he can ever get healthy, Ben Simmons
Nice pod. Skipped the warriors & kings segments.
Just wanna point out the bucks (once again) have the better record between themselves and the sixers and giannis is responsible for that success.
Dame is shooting all time lows, 2 of our veteran defenders have been out for a plethora of games, 1/2 the roster is brand new, and the bucks are winning on Giannis will.
But keep putting embiid first 🤷♀️
Luka at 5 is criminal man wth
The Warriors still need a tall 🦒 starting center. They do have players who can fit Small Forward for the rest of the 2023-2024 season. Finding a replacement for Draymond Green is easier than finding that tall 🦒 starting center.
Last season Warriors saved a playoff spot when Curry got injured. They went on a 5.0 run. Curry need not take bad shots when Klay, JK, moody and podz are playing well. All the missed shots are just turnovers.
It's good for the Warriors that Draymond is out. It's forcing Kerr to have a decent look at the youngsters. Although he shouldn't put Podz ahead of JK and Moody.
Damn, Warriors need to surpass either Rockets or Pelicans just to get into the play-in.
Book it, the Warriors miss the playoffs. Draymond, the gift that keeps on giving.
4 Championships and 6 NBA finals? Great! Made a bunch of bad decisions and didn't change philosophy when change was apparent. It's time to blow it up!
Kerr needs to go! Players don’t fear him or respect him anymore.
Am I the only one that thinks Giannis got hella flyer miles??
We need Turner. Been said this for 3 seasons
Pacers have to pay the young guys soon and will be looking for an expiring contract like CP3s.
The Mitchell trade was so many layers worse than the Gobert trade ever was. Not only did you give up a legit player in Sexton, and only one less pick than MN, but Mitchell has absolutely no intention of staying.
didnt jason put the cavs in his top 10 power rankings last week?
Orlando for Donovan?
If Dunleavy fails to make a serious trade this year we will look back on it as the biggest (overall) reason the warriors dynasty crashed and burned. You can blame draymond but even with him they struggled all of last year and this year. It’s been glaringly obvious they need a talent trade and their refusal to do so will cost Steph the remainder of his prime years.
i dont like the dmitch fit in philly. two small, bad poa guards is rough no matter how skilled they are on offense. same thing in new york golden state. miami and toronto make sense to me. the wolves make sense on the court but idk that they have the assets to get it done
If you have Curry & Mitchell in the backcourt you have just made your defence worse and the need for a rim protector even greater.
not a lot of defensive analysis in the mvp rankings. haliburton should be a lower on this off the strength of how he defends. tatum should prob be a lil higher for the same reason
giannis is still the best player in the league. jokic was never #1 for me.
Why don't you have a player in your MVP rating list from the best team in the league? I mean Timberwolves have beaten all the TOP teams right now except Buck(because they haven't played yet).
Winning and impacting winning on both ends of the floor should count for something, right?
Is this guy going to talk about the December season tournament all year?
Joker #6? Tatum #9? Hot take bot
No No No just wait till they start playing teams under .500 😂💀💀💀💀
The Bucks defense has had its issues, but I like that this coach uses Giannis as weapon more often on that end – something Budenholzer refused to do.
There goes “until somebody dethrones him (Jokic) in a playoffs, I will keep him above them even in case of a slide – just like I did with Anthony Davies, because he won” bullcrap!!
Jason – you placed best player, who dominated playoffs with most points, rebounds and assists in the NBA in 6th!! You lost me there – goodnight!
Why do you use Twitter for clips instead of Instagram?
definitely wouldn’t say clear #1 for embiid..
Finally a good mvp list .. my eyes are bleeding from what ive been seeing by the NBA.. i'd personally swap hali with doncic but its understandable
Warriors driven by only one star not two, only Steph. Klay is missing, he is not the Klay teams feared. He is on the verge of being a good role player on most days. Sad but thats why Warriors have a low ceiling. If they had Jamal Murray or Devin Booker instead, they can make the conference finals maybe.
Season MVP maybe adjustments for empty calories stats is in order…
Interesting how lack of playoff success devoid of context was one of the main talking points against the media machine trying to stop Jokic from getting three in a row but this year it just doesn’t matter. I wonder why all of a sudden it doesn’t matter? 🤔🙄
Flub Nation. Cya later
People gotta relax on okc hype. They a 1rst round exit still and that’s okc. Team will get bullied in playoffs. They got assets to get that physical presence don’t rush process
Dpoy ladder
as a new fan of basketball im not even joking when i say i saw more punches from draymond than baskets lmao
I can’t believe how sorry the warriors are rn😭 CURRY NEEDS SOME HELP!
Wait, Jokic at 6? Huh?
What do you think of a Lakers Cavs trade Dlo Rui and future draft picks for dmitch rui fills that hole at the 3 while getting a expiring like DLo can let him walk and have some money to play with thoughts?
Jason bro, you need to slow down when you’re talking. Drink water. Have a conversation with us.
Just my word for You, calling few days ago that Wariors are ok, they were never ok, because they were one suspension away from seson end, and the guy who got suspended had 75 percent or more chance to get this… Just my 2 cs.. Gj i love Your work
They need to trade Kuminga and some assets for Siakim. I know people will want to trade CP3 but I think they're really underestimating what he's brought to the team, I think he's probably been the 2nd most important player after Steph. Now I know everyone will look at the shooting numbers and think he's been trash but. Since the Detroit game, so the last 14 games, Cp3 has averaged, 10 points, 3.5 TRBs, 1.2 steals, 6.8 AST, on 47% FG and 49% from 3 in just 25 minutes per game. He's playing really well, he buoys the bench unit incredibly well. Over that same span Fred VanVleet, a highly paid and appreciated PG, is averaging 17 PTS, 4.6 TRB, 8.6 AST on 39% FG and 38% from 3 in 39.5 minutes per game. In other words, I think it's totally reasonable to say CP3 is better than FVV atm
Dude probably going to glaze over Jokic lol who is falling off
Ok he didn’t GOOD!
Joel is the mvp
Giannis travels A LOT
I think a trade that both team's will do is Draymond Green for Ben Simmons
If I had to rank the point huard right now, here is the list. Luka, SGA, Fox, Huliburton, Curry, Maxey, Dame, Brunson, Harden, Trae
Jokic at 6 tatum at 9, and luka at 5 are all criminally low imo
If MVP is two way impact then Giannis should win it. Jokic is great but his two way impact is less than even Joel even though there’s no way you would take Joel over him.
