Hawks winning the title and Trae goes down as the greatest PG all time
Jalen Brunson is a top-5 player, and should get real buzz for the MVP. No one has done more with less, and all the Knicks did was win and win and win this year.
Time stamps are back !
Cavs fan since Bingo played. Worst case scenario is Cavs win only 1st round and decide to keep the pathetic, clueless, nepo coaches JB Bickerstaff and Luke Walton. I'd rather get swept by Orlando.
Wemby was dpoy
When, not if, the Cavs lose in the first round against the Magic, Bickerstaff is gone. That atrocity against Charlotte will have consequences
NBA on ESPN, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
We(MAGIC) Gone dragggg Cleveland ๐ค๐พ๐ค๐พ
Johnathan I and Suggs lock down D all series
Kawhi's season high is like Luka season low. You guys glaze him so much for someone who gets hurt every poatseason
Jokiฤ is the MVP and it shouldnโt be that close
Hey Johnny Dartmouth thatโs not how you pronounce chicanery. Come on man, itโs โshih-cane-er-eeโ. Pronounced SH like Chicago, charade and chamois.
That it for cavs coach win or lose heโs gone. They should get Mike.B
Zach ainโt tell no lies Sunday was wild๐คฃ
Whoโs watching in 2024

I will die on this hill! Jokic should be clutch player of the year this year because the Nuggets are the best team in the clutch because he always gets us good shots and good shots are king in the clutch
SGA should be at least an honorable mention for dpoty. League leader in steal. Guards players like ant and Steph
I remember when the bucks won a chip and then all of a sudden they were prohibitive favorites. Nuggets are good, but I'll take the field.
๐๐๐๐
Heat should get spo an offensive coordinator. Bottom 10-ish offense for some time now. Heโs still the best in the game. But maybe thereโs a blind spot there
The okc thunder are making it to the 2024 nba finals
Basketball is not a team of matchups it's a team of it's a team sport I'm not saying matchups don't play some kind of role yes they play some kind of role to a fair degree true but hear me out you can win your matchup all series long you can win that match up all series long and yet somehow your team gets beat by the other team in the series that's why the better team the better team always wins the best of 7 not the better match up the better team so you have to be able to find a way to beat the team that's in front of you not to beat the match up in front of you but the team that's in front of you that's why best of 7 the better team always wins
The LEWOKE JAMES BEING THE SO-CALLED BEST OF ALLTIME IS A JOKE AND WAS DEBUNKED LONG AGO !!! WHEN LEBRON HAD BEEN SWEPT SEVERAL TIMES """ IN RECENT. YEARS SO THAT STUPID CONVERSATION NEEDS TO STOP "" stupid Talking Heads always bring enough that same information that's one thing that angers me big time they should have should have got rid of that years ago pay attention to what's been going on over the last few years so we don't have to educate you guys seriously it's ridiculous know the best of all time will still be Michael Jordan of always he was never ever swept when we got to an NBA Finals we're talking about Finals NBA finals or even in the Conference Finals was never swept during that time LeBron James has been and LeBron James has been swept in the finals mind you and his record in the finals is is not impressive Michael Jordan's is he was he's undefeated so that conversation needs to just end quickly
Spo is the 5th maybe best coach? He's def not top 3. Maybe not even top 5 tbh. Butlers heroics bailed them out last year along with injuries in every opposing team.
Why does the NBA structure the playoffs the way they do? 1st seed vs 8th seed is just stupid and non-competitive. Nobody wants to watch that. They should go 1st vs 5th, 2nd vs 6th, 3rd vs 7th, and 4th vs 8th. Way more competitive! No play in!
lebron just sitting in the paint waiting for zion to iso and drive, literally the best matchup imaginable for lebron, cuz lebron doesn't wanna go out to defend anyway.
Zach doesnโt watch the Kings if he did he would know Keegan was guarding Steph the last 2 times they played.
The Lakers are winning this game…and getting turnt out by Nuggets
As far the heat vs 76ers game, they played each other 2 weeks ago, sixers barely won. And the heat had a 8 point lead in the 4 th and went 8 minutes of game time without scoring they also had no herro and butler was kinda blah in that game. With a hot shooting maxey game. Just a thought
Suns in 5
Kendrick Perkins has a vote but Zach Lowe doesnโt?
Enough with this "Basketball gods" mumbo jumbo.
