This thread is a reminder of the power of conversation to bridge gaps and build understanding. It's a beautiful thing to witness.😘
Knicks in 5
I'm so excited for these playoffs dawg
These playoffs about to feed generations
still not forgiving these two for putting giannis over KD this season for all nba 1st team smh…
Jaden McDaniels is the 🔑 to the Wolves success against the Suns
Considering the wolves are the underdog. Which pick is the upset 🤔. Go wolves
BI seems to have the length and athleticism to guard LBJ but it’s not going to be easy.
Playoffs gonna be insane
Time to hoop it up indeed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Playoffs should be very interesting 🏀🏀👀
Sorry this my first time hearing “dunker nation let’s ride” that’s disgusting😂
I love every matchup we have. National media won’t talk about it too much but the Magic Cavs series has the chance the be the most entertaining of all of them
I wish you guys had your own channel. I'm tired of clicking on JJ's channel for videos that don't have JJ in them at all.
Am I the only person that finds these guys boring and annoying. Not to be rude but damn wish this was just JJ
pacers in 5 lol
Suns in 5
I gotta keep it real I can’t listen when the dunker spot is on
thank you for showing the plays
I really like the way these guys discuss the game. It cracks me up how Nekias always has that stone cold expression.
Suns in 4
Heat in 5 WERE RIDING WITH PLAYOFF JIMMY AND 3 POINT SNIPER EDRICE
Great analysis fellas
Great job on the breakdown, it’s refreshing to see analysis on the game and not on the names in general
Dawg asked him how he was doing to start the show and dude ended up telling him how he was doing….lied about how he was doing… then said well I'm not gonna lie about it then proceeded to have a full convo with himself for the next 25 seconds which is exactly why I don't make small talk with people lol
this is a drinking game episode drink a shot per 'x-Factor' you hear and you will be drunk before the end
Love the season of coverage you've guys have done! I know there's a lot of "no JJ" cry babies in the comments but I really appreciate the work y'all do! <3
Love this whole preview. The contrast between the Chicago-Atlanta play-in and the Cavs-Magic series is kind of hilarious. Excited for the hoop, not as excited for the #discourse especially around the teams that get eliminated. Hope Steve gets over his fever (unlike the dunkers who are never getting over this new-look Fever). Also, Nekias, obviously it is up to you whether to engage with them, but just know that the troll commenters are hooligans and they're probably never gonna stop. It's like they always say, if you hool once, you will probably hooligan. (I'll see myself out now)

1:01:18 Suns
I think Kat is the difference in this series. If he shows, Suns have a problem.
It’s Maxey time baby
Love the wolves suns breakdown
Grayson Beal & Kd all have the strength to switch and defend Kat.
If Nurkic gets in foul trouble suns will be in a rough spot. That will be our demise imo. No one behind nurk is reliable.
I love that Nekias got bullied into picking the Magic 😂. I hope they take boston to 7 games too.
Let’s gooo! Light the Bridge!
I had all the same winners as Steve, but I did appreciate Nekias (wrongly) picking Orlando after Steve bullied him into doing it for the bit 😂
Looking forward to the 1-8/2-7 previews if you can get them out in time with the short turnaround.
Zubacs gotta pull a Andre igudola and Hold Luka to under a triple double
