No talk about the Knicks….
Joel shouldn't have come back from surgery this season, it's so bad for him long term.
Embiid hurt again? Shock!!!
when you hype up a team like people have been hyping up the mavs, disappointment is inevitable
they play too many games, when is the nba going to get it through their thick heads. oh gee all the stars are hurt just in time for playoffs… just another year same BS.
Dude went crosseyed when he landed. Of course he's hurt. Its not a trust issue. He tried to trust it and it failed him.
I've got to ask – has Brou ALWAYS been a Clippers fan?
Man Nick just refuses to give the clippers and type of credit. They beat the Mavs down yesterday and it was never really close and they didn’t even have Khawi
They should bring in mark Jackson or any retire coach to talk about basketball playoffs like coach managing does with football
Embiid is going to retire early I see the next 5 years
What no one on the panel is discussing is the obvious thing. This team is going to be radically different come 24/25 season. Next year's team should be better than this year's team by a decent margin. Why risk a serious injury?
lol these people will never stop guessing about Embid lol move on , is he this is he that, the Knicks are the better team period, they Knicks will be better.
Embiid is clearly on one leg. After he came back he rarely looked to score. He has no business playing after reinjuring a surgically repaired knee
No mention of the winning team the Knicks.
Embid is extremely talented. He’s also extremely fragile.
They should bring in mark Jackson or any retire coach to talk about basketball playoffs like coach managing does with football
The irony that Nick is getting on Brou for being delusional about the Clippers and Hardens history in the playoffs, while also thinking the Lakers can win against the Nuggets is the sort of hypocritical logic you come to expect from Nick. lol
God’s love for us is unmatched and I pray we all take the time to experience it🤎 please read 1 John 4:7-21
Great show.
Dr. Nick Wrong!
Nick saying Paul George is just a star? Someone get this 🤡 outta here
Believe in Ty Lou to have the players ready. The Mavs were just standing around waiting for Luka to play iso ball. Finally, Kyrie had enough.
Nick's disrespect for Ty Lue has to stop…were not getting past James Harden, were getting Ty Lue's James Harden its different if youve been watching all season you see that
Nick always hating on the clippers. Your son Luka is gonna go home again 😂
Best time of the year for FTF content
Embiid is just an equivalent to an aging "7 footer Derrick Rose"
Harden is gonna be fine in this series because he can cook Luka all game long
Why not play? He's literally never been or gonna be healthy anyway and they've done this load manage/cautious approach his entire career lol smh
Sixers medical staff has a terrible history of managing injuries. So many guys have come there and gotten terrible injuries
If only the Mavs had a defensive big that could guard other team’s bigs
This is an insane conversation to me lol. The guy has had injury issues his whole career, literally….it is what it is. Forfeit this postseason (in all likelihood) so you might have a better opportunity a year from now? If he’s healthy, if you have a decent seeding, and if your other players are also healthy? C’mon man lol, be serious. Get out there and do the best, if it ain’t meant to be, it ain’t meant to be.
It seems to me that Embid's body cannot handle the league. He is a very skilled player, injured in pretty much every playoff game. It's a shame but really this is De marcus cousings all over again.
Joel looks like he is one bad landing away from being retired from basketball. It's sad to see, as he is an amazing talent.
This is the Best sports show in the entire country
I’m with Nick about the Clippers-Mavs series. Brou’s out here counting on James Harden in the playoffs, while the Mavs scored 30 in the first half and Luka and Kyrie still made it a bit of a game at the end lol
This dood is all flopping and falling down. You never know if anything is ever genuine with this big kid. Last chance 6ers had of a chip died with AI.
Considering that blood seeped through Embiid’s knee pad shows me that he shouldn’t be playing. He’s no where close to being 100%. At this point, it’s about salvaging his career. If Embiid didn’t trust the surgery/knee, why play on it, let alone dunking? It’s a difficult situation. Just be mindful of the future of his career.
lol he was scoring on jump shots when he came back from Injury? Lmao. Dude had 40 free throws out of his 80 something points lmao. We calling standing at the free throw line “skilled jump shots” now? Give me a break lmao. Glaze that dude and give him so many excuses nobody else in the league gets. If jokic and Embiids careers were flipped these morons would be trashing jokic daily. Kinda like how media ignored the fact josh allen had that elbow injury the other year and struggled after it…but when Jalen hurts or Lamar gets dinged up they chalk up every second of them failing to injury 😂must be great to be a black athlete in todays world. You don’t have to have an ounce of accountability anymore
Hey Nick Luka got hunted on defense. They went at him the whole game. How come he never mentions that?
As a Rockets fan, I can't help but laugh at Broussard's Harden expectation….
Unfortunately for Bru if Khawi doesn’t play then this series is over. Luka has already been to wcf and kyrie has a ring, there’s no way they choke in the first round it would be shocking
Dame had more points in a half than the entire mavericks team, they got destroyed
Don't care, Knicks in 5
Tatum gets so much flack…got more playoff wins than Embid and Luka combined
Embid has 4 yrs left…Sixers dont have enough to win the Chip…next yr Sixers have cap space…makes sense to me
