PC all star weekend gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
In all fairness the Mavs last year were a dark horse to make it to the finals. I don't think people expected them to beat OKC and Minnesota. Dallas is less of a dark horse this year though.
This is sga 3 season average 30. Last season is not a small sample size. This is nothing new just adding a few things to his game but third year putting up 30 is insane
2:35:08 Giannis was the clear cut MVP in 2020. NBA media members like Rachel Nicholas was using Kobe's death as a way to help LeBron's MVP. Giannis earned that MVP.
2:38:06 I swear Swipa without using on/off numbers struggles to talk basketball. You don't have to use those numbers to make the MVP case for Jokic.
This young thunder squad is scary good and they're not even playing at full strength
Mitchell got shut down twice against OKC. I remember last time yall were calling it a “bad game”. Dorture chamber is fr
Was there a Panelist who said OKC was gonna win a championship this year 4-5 months ago in the offseason?
Has that Panelist then reiterated that point 100 times since then?
👀👀 Asking for a friend. This is the best group of individual defenders on one team I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Top 2 player, top 5 coach in the league. Yeah, if they don't win a championship, I'll be super surprised
W Cheif keef reference Ox @bigoxbob
Ox Tyler gave Amen two points and DeRozan got blocked when Amen was on him but he cooked 😂 y'all funny
Okay we gotta start a Stop the bullying campaign 😭😭😭 MarzstopbullyingChill 🤷🏽♂️🤣🤣
Anthony Davis HAS NOT been better than Lebron this year
Pc is just not the same nomore at all
Does ox have a tat above his eye?
Banchero not close to Wemby, Y’all delusional
Gifted saying “yea” and repeating wat marz said the whole episode was annoying😂
SGA not better than Tatum he just got more freedom to do what he wants. The Celtics make Tatum play a system anytime he tries to cook the coach is always telling him to dial it back so others won’t feel left out.
There’s nothing that 08-10 Kobe Bryant does that Shai can’t do…
Until I hear legit logic on why Kobe Bryant is better I’m sticking with my take 2025 Shai > Bryant
Lmao chilltown never gonna get off that JT bandwagon
Mobley played bad again chill needs to stop putting his faith in these soft boys😭
Sga shooting 59.9 from 2 being outrageous is an understatement lol. But Luka last yr shooting 58.1% from 2 on what is prob the worst spacing playoff team is insane lol. Also btw he was shooting 38% on 10 pull up 3s lol. Luka and sga are 2 of the top 5 best 2pt scoring guards ever
Paolo dropping 30
Tage Thompson goal
Knicks winning
Indiana mens basketball winning
They got Marz looking like Bodie Broadus from the Wire on that graphic 😂
Seems like yall never talk about this Lakers much unless it’s controversial andor to shit on them lol I get it though
I’ve been saying Paolo is better than that stickman
bro SGA was 7th in dpoy voting last year. what are you talking about
Paolo shouldn’t be discussed with Wemby imo. The defense gap is massive
As a Thunder fan I physically cringe when Dort puts the ball on the floor lmao. But it’s a lot better than it used to be because during the 20-21 season he was legitimately our secondary ball handler😭I had to witness so many Lu Dort/Al Horford pick and rolls…I DESERVE this season⚡️⚡️
So now is the cavs the best team in the league still? Or did it only last a week because they beat the thunder once lmaoo
Did they talk about the Kings Rockets Game?
& to chill point sga doing all this with one of the youngest team in the league also don’t get talked about enough
1:14:00 you can’t learn and change your mind to grow? What is this “I got to stick with that” forever nonsense.
Maturing is realizing chill a casual 😞
2:06:50 The Nuggets are getting annihilated by OKC in a series, be so fr Swipa lmaooo. What OKC's defense does best Denver's players struggle with….ball pressure/decision-making out of ball pressure.
Not to mention that twin tower setup they could throw at Jokic
He also failed to mention the whole other side of the ball lmao…Denver's defense is trash, they can. not. guard. OKC
So gifted a parrot
Banchero is better than Wemby right now at this moment
This “let’s jump chill about Tatum” shit is corny To be so adamant he don’t belong in certain convos but keep talking about it is weird It feel like chasing a easy debate atp
I usually skip episodes where Gifted is featured
Chill town so washed
Please take Marz to get a REAL burrito while in the city some of the best Mexican food in the world
2025 Chill
Per 36 minutes: AI 01: 26,7 points.
SGA 25: 33,2 points
Now this is not a perfect comparison because it is not sure that SGA could score so much more if he played more minutes. And they play in vastly different offensive systems
Whoever said SGA OVER KOBE NEEDS TO HAVE HIS BRAIN EVALUATED FOR CTE
We are witnessing the mental decline of chill in real time
You guys at all star weekend just makes perfect sense! Have to get marz in the celeb game
I'm so glad I found this channel …..good sound discussions from the brothas ….keep that energy guys
You have to be an insane person to think that the Thunder has a worse supporting cast than the Nuggets even without Chet and Hartenstein for some time
