It's a shame that as a Dubs fan I'm looking for any hope they get into the playoffs
GO PHOENIX SUNS!❤
I would be so happy to see Kevin Durant win his third ring cuz so many narratives would die
Genuinely curious how you're so charismatic and make your speaking feel so engaged, besides the knowledge and theories behind it all. Glad I found you! If you ever do a masterclass on presentation and speaking, sign me up!
Best time of the year Jason has entered playoff mode, I'm prepared to see a 2018 esc run
Mailbag question:
Hey Jason do you think Milwaukee's best option for next year would be to lean into a dame centric offense so he gets his comfort level sky high and that way Giannis can just focus on being a defensive wrecking ball? He would probably need to up his game as a screener and roller but i think its their best option. Also maybe trading brook lopez for a quicker wing. Thanks for making basketball easier to understand legend!

Jason, you made me a lot of money last year’s playoff run I’m expecting big things this year.
im gonna be honest jason in my entire time watching you which has been awhile, since you started with the volume, ive maybe had one weekend i could describe as incredible. it sucks.
broski is werking his ass off
Too much film breakdown! Your podcast commentary is your bread and butter man.
Alright so I find this year very intriguing just by how many very good teams are capable of winning a chip. I say this if Lebron or Curry won this ring they will be consider the greatest or near that . From the simple of fact of how challenging it's going to be . If KD wins now you have to put respect on his name if Kawhi Nikola or Giannis wins they will have 2, 3 rings respectfully . If 1 of the young superstars win Luka Tatum Ant SGA now they consider next
i wanna see kd atleast get them to the finals lol . and he could get some payback on tatum and celtics for sweeping his nets last year
I think yall are disregarding playoff book plus the other two superstars lmao suns in 4 😂
They still won't be able to cover the Suns on the drive
Timberwolves only have one shot creator Mike conley is old there defence plus two big boys thats the suns can just use there midranges against and plus we have the besr 3 point shooter in the nba lol plus the suns been waiting the whole season to unleash thete full potential im not tryna to be cocky or anything im bery passionate i just dont see how anthony edwards can outscore even ome of these big 3 and d bool is still the better shooting guard all AE has done so far has shown highlights and score against bad teams most recently his 50 point game mike conley os there second est scorer kat is highly overrated 😅 the suns in 4 mark my words but timbserwolves did have a good season atleast there fans can bank on that
As a biased wolves fan, Wolves in 6 🐺
Minnesota needs a guy like Jaden Ivey .
Also I love McDaniels defense but gyve me 17-22 a game too now they ready
What I got from the film is we need Nurkic to stay out of foul trouble, because lots of the Timberwolves highlights came at the expense of Young.
Good stuff
Thanks Jason, now these "NBA analysts" on TV can gain some knowledge.
Wolves got beaten by Grayson Allen alot of times by them closing out everytime, he is not just a 3 point shooter.
I think this goes 7 and because the Wolves have home court advantage I think they advance to play the Nuggets. As a Nuggets fan I'd rather see Phoenix in the 2nd round but this is how it will play out imo.
i think the suns might just be the kryptonite to two of the wests best teams in the nuggets and wolves but i think everyone else in this playoff field would probably beat them besides the kings and warriors who probably wont make it out of the play in. whats weird for me as a nuggets fan is i remember thinking once the suns traded for nurkic, "great jokic eats that guy for lunch", but nurkic has held up ok against jokic compared to a lot of other centers recently, especially compared to deandre ayton lol.
Yo his video breakdown has really taken this channel to another level🔥🔥🔥
Suns beating the Wolves
Could just say "lol it's Minnesota and this is a sport".
